President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 102

Or... he even didn’t come in at all?

Natalia scratched her hair and rubbed her face.

The scene in her dream gradually faded away with her brain waking up. Her temples throbbed and she had a headache.

She rubbed her forehead gently with her fingers and then got out of bed.

"Mrs. McCarthy, you are awake!"

Mrs. Dottie just came in and smiled at her.

Natalia forced a smile and said, "I'm late. Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Mr. McCarthy said before he left that you were not feeling well and asked us not to wake you up, and to let you have more rest."

Natalia was stunned.

She looked at Mrs. Dottie, whose face was full of gratification. She asked, "Where did he sleep last night?"

"Mrs. McCarthy, don't you know that? Mr. McCarthy worked too late last night, so he just slept in the study."

Natalia was silent for a moment.

It turned out that he really didn't come back.

An indescribable complex feeling arose in her heart. She didn't know what was going on.

She had thought from the beginning that she should keep her feeling well. No matter what the final goal and end of this marriage were, she couldn't let herself be trapped by it.

But... Why was she a little disappointed now?

Natalia didn't look good. Mrs. Dottie observed her expression and asked cautiously, "Mrs. McCarthy, do you want to have breakfast?"

Natalia came to her senses and shook her head.

"No, I'll go to the company directly."

Perhaps Archie had ordered Brian to ask for a leave for her in advance, so even if Natalia was late, the people in the company were not surprised, as if they had already known it.

When she got to the company, she dealt with the work as usual.

For the whole day, Archie didn't send her a message or call her.

Natalia tried her best to suppress the strange feeling in her heart. She knew that she couldn't ask for too much.

This marriage was not based on love from the very beginning. Whether he had a girlfriend or not, or even had a child, it had nothing to do with her.

So she didn't have to be upset or ask.

Yes, that was it.

Even if she seemed to have a crush on him because of what happened last time, it was just a little.

Maybe it was because of this that God let her know in advance what she shouldn't have known and reminded her of the existence of the truth.

Natalia closed her eyes and scratched her hair in boredom.

At this moment, her phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up with a frown, but when she saw the caller ID, her expression changed.

“Mr. K?”

"It's me."

The voice on the other side of the line was hoarse and full of vicissitudes. He said in a deep voice, "I have found something that you asked me to investigate for you. It's not convenient to tell you on the phone. When are you free? Let's talk about it face to face!"

Natalia's breath tightened.

Her fingers holding the phone were a little pale, and it took her a long time to calm down.

"Okay, send me the address. I'll come to see you this afternoon."

"Okay."

In the afternoon, Natalia got off work ahead of time and went to a cafe as scheduled.

Mr. K was a bald middle-aged man with sunglasses. He had arrived ahead of time and was sitting at a table by the window.

Seeing Natalia, he nodded to her.

Natalia walked over and sat down opposite him.

"What’s that? What did you find out?"

She asked straightforwardly as soon as she sat down.

Mr. K looked at her through his sunglasses and said in a deep voice, "As you guessed, the car accident five years ago was not a natural accident."

Natalia's breath froze.

Mr. K took out a folder from his pocket and took out a few photos from it and put them on the table.

"The wreckage of the car has been cleaned up, but the traffic police still keeps the police records of the case that year. I asked someone to get detailed photos of the car that year. Look, there are obvious traces of human damage in this place."

Natalia looked carefully at the place on the photo he pointed at and saw there was a clear cut on the car.

"Is this... a brake pad?"

Mr. K nodded.

"When Mrs. Dawson had an accident, her car was burnt to ashes on the spot. Many pieces of evidence were lost, but later the police still took some pictures of its remains.”

“I picked out these photos from hundreds of them. The perpetrator was very smart. He knew that the car would burn and all the evidence would be burnt. But unexpectedly, when the car burned, it would directly break through the bridge and fall into the river. Instead, it extinguished a part of the fire, leaving some evidence."

Natalia's face turned pale.

Her eyes, which were always clear and cold, now became deep and meaningful, and no one could judge from it whether she was angry.

"Who did it? Have you found it out?"

Mr. K shook his head.

"I was in a hurry to inform you as soon as I got the photos. I haven't had the time to check who did it."

"Is it difficult?"

"I guess it's difficult."

He frowned and said, "it has been a long time. The person who got involved in this matter may have already left Julio. The people behind it also won't let anyone find out the evidence. I guess they have dealt with the flaws already. If we investigate it now, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Natalia was silent for a moment.

After a while, she sneered with cold eyes.

"Actually, I don't need to investigate. I know who it is."

She stared at the broken brake on the photo and sneered, "The person who got the most benefits must be the murderer.”

Mr. K was also silent for a moment.

"Unfortunately, as long as we can't get direct evidence, we can't ask the law to send her to prison."

Natalia smiled coldly.

Law?

Even if she couldn't seek help from the law, so what?

As long as she proved that her mother was indeed killed, and it was not an accident, she would be able to force the mother and daughter to speak out the truth personally.

Her eyes were filled with cruelty and mercilessness. Mr. K looked at her and kept silent for a while.

"What's your plan now?"

Natalia said in a low voice, "Of course I will let them pay for that!"

"You alone?"

"Is there a problem?"

Mr. K wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

Natalia glanced at him and frowned. "When did you learn to hold on when you wanted to say something?"

Mr. K was speechless.

He said helplessly, "I heard that you are with Archie now. Why don't you ask him for help? It's a piece of cake for him to destroy the Dawson family."

Natalia sneered.

Mr. K didn’t know if it was an illusion. He found that when he mentioned that man, Natalia’s eyes were colder than before.

"It's my business, and I don’t need someone irrelevant to help me."

After a pause, she stood up and said, "Okay, I see this matter. Thank you. I will transfer the money to you later."

After saying that, Natalia turned around and walked out.

At the same time, a black Rolls-Royce passed by the cafe. The person in the car inadvertently looked out of the window and saw a familiar figure.

The woman was wearing black and white casual clothes and a peaked cap. She was walking out with her head down.

He was slightly stunned and ordered Brian to stop the car.

When he was about to get off the car, he saw a man quickly walking out of the cafe and stopped Natalia.
