Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 90

Brian also knew how serious the matter was. He quickly replied, “Mr. McCarthy, we will get there thirteen minutes later, if we keep the fastest speed.”

It took an hour from the airport to the Pearl International Restaurant at a normal speed.

They had already driven for a while, and it would take at least forty minutes to get there.

Brian had tried his best to make it thirteen minutes.

After all, a car was not an airplane. No matter how excellent its performance was, it was impossible for it to fly over.

Obviously, Archie understood this matter. He tightened his lips and didn’t say anything.

At this moment, Henry Miller received a phone call from his subordinate and frowned.

“I see. I’ll make it clear right now.”

After hanging up the phone, he called his son Shawn first.

“Shawn, are you at the Pearl International Restaurant today?”

Shawn didn’t know what had happened. He asked in confusion, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

“Do you know who is in room 8828?”

“8828?” Shawn was stunned, and then her eyes widened.

“I know. What happened?”

“You’d better go there and have a look. I don’t know what happened exactly, but the people there must be safe. Otherwise, the whole Miller family will be ruined.”

Shawn frowned with displeasure.

“Someone is threatening you? Who can be so powerful to threaten you?”

The cold voice of Henry then came from the other end of the line, “Is Archie McCarthy powerful enough?”

Shawn was speechless.

He suddenly thought of something and his expression changed.

“I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up the phone, Shawn stood up without any words, took his clothes, and ran out.

However, before he even reached the door, he was stopped by Katie.

“Shawn, where are you going?”

Shawn’s face darkened. “I have something to deal with. You and Miss Kawn just stay here to finish your dinner. I’ll be right back.”

Katie pouted and refused, “No! You promised that you would take us out for dinner. Why did you run away halfway? Brother, I did not mind when you did it in the past. But today is my birthday. You can’t leave no matter what you say.”

Shawn said impatiently.

“I will come back as soon as possible. There seems to be something wrong in the room opposite. Natalia is still inside. I just want to go there to have a look. It’s only a few steps away. I’ll be back soon.”

Katie’s face changed slightly as she heard this.

She stood in front of the door more stubbornly, gritted her teeth and said, “No, you can’t go.”

Shawn frowned and looked at Katie suspiciously.

“Katie, did you do something behind my back?”

Katie felt a little nervous.

She blinked her eyes and said imposingly. “No, I didn’t. I just don’t want you to find that woman. Shawn, there are not only me here, but also Wanda. If you just go to look for that woman, what do you want Wanda to do? How can you do that?”

Wanda smiled awkwardly. “Katie, don’t say that...”

However, Katie just ignored her. The more she said, the more she felt wronged.

“Jessica is still in the hospital and her baby is gone. It’s all that woman’s fault. You still protect her after she has done so much. Are you still a man?”

Shawn frowned tightly.

After a while, he took a deep breath.

“Dad just called and said that Archie had threatened the Miller family. I suspect that something has happened to Natalia.”

Wanda was stunned and her face changed slightly.

However, Katie got excited at once.

“What did you say? Archie threatened our family for that bitch? Why would he care about her so much? Is it worth it for him to do this to a dirty bitch?”

Shawn’s face turned cold.

“Katie! What nonsense are you talking about?”

Katie was stunned.

“I haven’t done anything to Natalia for six years when I was her boyfriend. Dirty? What are you talking about? Who taught you to say these words?”

“I...”

Wanda hurriedly stood up and grabbed Shawn’s arm.

“Mr. Miller, Katie was just talking nonsense. But I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to go there now.”

Shawn frowned.

“Miss Kawn, even you choose to ignore her danger? Although her words are always sharp and cold, what if something really happens to her...”

The expression on Wanda’s face froze for a moment.

“I didn’t mean that. I just...”

Wanda leaned over and whispered in Shawn’s ear.

Shawn’s face changed a lot.

“Are you serious?”

Wanda nodded seriously.

“So, you can’t go there, at least for Jessica. Can you understand?”

Shawn didn’t say anything more after that.

…

There were no sounds from the opposite room.

Archie arrived ten minutes later.

The distance of at least thirteen minutes was shortened by three minutes by him.

Brian swore to himself that he had never driven so fast in his life. He stepped on the gas as hard as he could, and the car almost left the ground and flew up.

As soon as they entered the Pearl International Restaurant, a waiter greeted them warmly.

“Sir, have you booked a room? Or...”

“Where is room 8828?”

The waiter looked at Archie’s sullen face and was stunned. He was a little nervous.

“Sir, what do you mean?”

“I asked you where room 8828 is.”

Archie’s eyes were as cold as ice. Brian shouted strictly, “Tell us! Now! You want to die?”

The waiter trembled and came to his senses.

“On the eighth floor. Then go straight to the left.”

Archie strode towards the elevator.

The elevator arrived soon. Before the door was closed, a hand suddenly blocked the door which was about to close.

“Wait!”

It was a group of people, all panting. When they saw Archie and Brian, they were shocked.

“Mr. McCarthy, you are here.”

Archie stared at them coldly.

Everyone lowered their heads with guilt.

They were just the group of people Archie had ordered to go here on the phone when he was in the car. However, they were far away from here tonight and there was a traffic jam on the road. Therefore, they had run all the way here.

But they were still late.

Archie curled his lips and said coldly, “I’m afraid everything will already be done, if I only count on you guys.”

The group of people lowered their heads, like pupils being scolded.

“Mr. McCarthy, sorry. We know our mistakes.”

Archie’s lips tightened slightly, but he didn’t say anything more.

When they arrived on the eighth floor, Archie took the lead and walked out, followed by the others.

The waiter didn’t recognize them. He was surprised to see a group of people rushing in aggressively.

A waiter came forward and asked, “Sir, what are you doing?”

“F**k off!”

Someone pushed him away and soon found room 8828.

The door was locked from inside, and there was a dead silence inside.

Archie stood at the door, gritting his teeth tightly. His handsome face at the moment was as long as a fiddle that would break just any moment.

With a cold face, he said in his freezing cold voice, “Open the door for me.”

Seeing this, the rest of them already had a rough idea what had happened inside, and were all silent.
