President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 351

It was reasonable that Mr. Kawn made a big deal out of it.

There were tensions between the four families. Anything could set off a chain reaction.

Although the Kawn family had decided to be connected with the Bissel family through marriage, it did not mean that the Kawn family wanted to offend the McCarthy family openly.

It was the best choice for the Kawn family to remain neutral.

Everyone present knew how serious the matter was, so they raised no opinion.

Some people, who tried to curry favor with the McCarthy family, assisted in the search very enthusiastically.

Half an hour passed.

No remote-controlled toy was found on any of the guests.

Natalia looked on coldly and did not speak.

Though she knew the truth, she couldn't put it blunt herself as it may cause misunderstandings.

It was better to sit back and let nature take its course.

Anyway, since it happened, everyone had been called into the lobby. It was impossible for anyone to leave or destroy the evidence.

Mr. Kawn said, "Such being the case, it means that the toy can only be found on people who live in this mansion. Wilson, you order your men to search all rooms and make body searches."

Wilson slightly frowned, but did not raise any objection. He agreed and had his men search rooms.

One guest mumbled in dissatisfaction, "The child is fine. Is it necessary to make a fuss?"

As soon as he finished, people besides him glared at him, so he stopped going further.

Not far away, Jessica stood in a corner, with a pale face.

Matthew's face darkened as he looked at her.

"Dad, there are so many rooms. Let me go to help Wilson."

He whispered to Mr. Kawn.

Mr. Kawn nodded.

Matthew turned around and walked toward the room.

Natalia looked at Matthew's back and squinted.

Just then, Anne suddenly tugged at Natalia's sleeve.

"Mommy."

Natalia turned and looked down at her.

"What's the matter?"

Anne looked up, with a pair of dark eyes as clear as crystal. She said in an innocent way, "Mommy, tonight, I heard the dialogue between auntie and uncle in the back garden."

Natalia was stunned

She turned to glance at Jessica, who wrung her handbag strap perhaps because of feeling guilty. Jessica's expression couldn't be seen clearly, but Natalia could sense that Jessica was uneasy from her movement.

Jessica did not dare to look up at Natalia because of her guilt.

So, Jessica did not know Anne was talking to Natalia.

Natalia turned her gaze and asked softly, "What did you hear?"

Anne frowned, thought for a few seconds and said, "That uncle asked the auntie not to make trouble for you, but that auntie was unhappy and said something else."

It was not easy for Anne that was less than six years old to repeat the dialogue.

Natalia thought for a while and whispered, "My good child. Don't put it in your mind. You're the best child in the world. I'll protect you."
