Spoiled By The President: My Wife Is A Little Sweet novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293 Every Step Was Wrong

As she spoke, her eyes flickered, clearly ill at ease.

Archie didn't debate with her. After all, they'd found her out and caught her at the scene.

Faye was his senior, so it wouldn't do to go too far in public.

So he simply said, "I'll leave this to Grandma to deal with, so please prepare yourself!"

With that, he took Natalia's had and turned to leave.

Hearing that he was going to tell the McCarthy elders, Faye started panicking.

She hurried over to block off their path.

"Wait, don't go!"

She chased them all the way outside and finally stopped them. Archie frowned and didn't speak, waiting for the shoe to drop.

Faye panted from the exertion for a while before she recovered her breath.

She babbled, "You can't tell your Grandpa and Grandma, Archie. I'm begging you; you have to hide this for me. If they found out, I'm a dead woman."

Archie muttered, "You should have thought of them finding out before you did this."

Faye was close to tears.

"No, if you don't say anything and I don't say anything and neither of them say anything, how would they find out?"

Archie scoffed.

"Oh? Is that right? You even took the jewels Grandma gave you and sold them, and you're so sure they won't find out at all?"

Faye's face changed and turned deathly white.

After a few seconds, her lips moved.

"You – you know about that too?"

Archie kept his expression cold and didn't answer.

Natalia explained, "I went to an auction with Archie yesterday and saw that set of jewelry by accident. But don't worry. Archie's already bought it up, so word won't get to Grandpa and Grandma just yet. But I feel that you should still explain to Archie what happened and how you had to resort to this. Otherwise, if it does get out one day, we can't hide it for you even if we wanted to."

Faye heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Right. I should tell you. Except for you, I don't know who to turn to for help now."

There were too many people coming and going in the area to speak.

Finally, Faye suggested a café in a nice area nearby, so they moved the conversation there.

This was about McCarthy internal affairs and it'd be awkward if Nancy took part, so she sat down on the first floor and had some coffee.

Faye, Natalia and Archie sat down in a compartment on the second floor.

After sitting down, Natalia ordered coffee for all three of them before focusing on the topic.

"It's not that we can't help you, Aunt, but please don't hide anything from us and tell us the truth. That way, we can consider how to help you."

At a time like this, Faye didn't speak to Natalia with her previous sense of arrogance.

Knowing that she needed their help, she set down her status and sighed. "It's a long story. We need to go back to a year ago."

A year ago, Faye had gotten in an argument with the old lady. She wouldn't say what it had been over, and Natalia and Archie didn't ask.
