Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 113

On the other end of the line, Archie asked in surprise, “For real?”

“Yeah, for real.”

Upon getting the answer he wanted, the man hung up the phone in satisfaction.

Natalia exhaled. She thought of something and called Mr. K.

“Hell, Mr. K. How is your investigation going?”

“I’m still watching. So far I haven’t got any clue yet.”

Natalia creased her brows.

She felt somewhat disappointed.

However, she knew that it had been five years, so the investigation must not be that easy. Hence, she didn’t give any remarks.

Much to her surprise, Mr. K suddenly asked, “By the way, Natalia, do you have any family or friends in Eqitin?”

Natalia was taken aback.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

“Recently, I found the Dawson family frequently contacted someone from Eqitin and it was not about business. So far I haven’t found the identity of the other party, so I was just asking.”

Eqitin?

As far as Natalia knew, before Philip Dawson married her mother, he was just a college student without any money.

Years ago in Julio, the Hawkins family was the richest in town. They have only one daughter, so they wanted her to marry a live-in husband. Natalia’s grandfather liked Philip’s shrewdness and competence, so he brought him and Natalia’s mother together.

What happened next was known by the public.

Philip disguised himself for almost twenty years, deceiving everyone, including his father-in-law and wife. After Natalia’s mother died, he changed the original Hawkins Group to Dawson Group, completely taking over the wealth of the family.

A lot of people disdained him for what he had done to obtain the wealth.

Although Philip had some achievements later, it was the best he could do to use the remaining influence of the Hawkins family and developed his company in Julio. Natalia didn’t believe that he could know someone from Eqitin.

She frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she could not think of an answer.

“I don’t know about it. Does it have anything to do with my mother?”

“Not quite likely. I just think it’s quite weird. That person always wore a black windbreaker and mask when coming over, usually coming at midnight. If it were for business, why would the person choose to visit at midnight?”

Natalia slightly shook.

She also smelt something fishy in this matter.

She said, “I agree with you. Please continue to keep an eye on them for me. Hopefully, you can find who the person is”

“Okay, I’ll try my best. The person doesn’t look like an ordinary one. I’m afraid it’s not that easy to find out.”

“Please try your best effort. Thank you so much.”

After hanging up the phone, Natalia fell into the silence.

She recalled what Philip had said before – since her mother died, the Dawson family had been declining in Julio. Later, Ambario Prosperities also began to suppress it, so he could never expand his business in Eqitin.

That was why Natalia didn’t think the person who visited at midnight was for business.

She wondered what the person’s purpose was.

She frowned.

In the evening, she didn’t go back home immediately. Instead, she went to the training studio to check on the trainees who were about to participate in a talent show after the holiday.

Although it was still a holiday, since the talent show was approaching, the training schedule was quite tight. Hence, none of the trainees had gone home for the holiday.

Natalia bought them some gifts as reward. She also said a few words of encouragement to them before leaving.

When she was heading home, it was nine o’clock in the evening.

It was a cold winter, quite chilly.

However, there were still a lot of cars and pedestrians on the street, making it more crowded than usual.

It was the rush hour for people who were going home. There was traffic. While the car moved forward slowly, Natalia felt bored and peered out of the window with one hand supporting it.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar car not far away in the front of hers.

It was a champagne Bentley. She was quite familiar with the car plate. If it was not mistaken, it should be Jessica’s car.

Since the incident of the high school anniversary, Jessica had been quieted down completely.

In the past half month, she didn’t make any movements.

Natalia knew that Jessica wanted to lie low until the trouble was over. Unfortunately, even if she had stayed away from the trouble, in the future, this incident would still be the biggest stain in her career.

Natalia wondered what Jessica was doing here so late at night.

Her car wasn’t heading towards the Dawson house.

Of course, it was not on the way to the Miller’s.

Natalia felt quite confused. Generally speaking, the most important thing Jessica should do was to stay at home, keep a low key, and wait until the trouble was over before taking any actions.

Now it was almost midnight and she appeared here in the downtown. Natalia thought it would be a suicide should anyone take a photo of her.

With curiosity, Natalia drove up and followed the car.

The champagne Bentley was driven along the avenue. When it reached the intersection, suddenly it turned left and went into a lane.

It was a bit dark in the lane. Natalia was afraid that she would be found, so she kept quite a distance away from it.

After going through the lane, she followed the car for almost another twenty minutes, only to find the champagne Bentley stopped in front of a townhouse.

The door of the car was opened. A black figure got off the car in a hurry while lowering her head.

In the night mist, Natalia could see that person was wearing a black bucket hat. The brim of the hat was so low that the person’s whole face was almost hidden in the shadow.

With something in her hand, she was heading towards the townhouse quickly while keeping her head down all the time.

Shortly after, someone came out of the house. Since they were quite far, Natalia couldn’t see that person’s face clearly, but seemingly the person treated Jessica extremely respectfully.

Natalia frowned.

Thinking for a long while, she couldn’t find out anyone who could be so respectful to Jessica.

The person took Jessica inside. After the door was closed, Natalia was sitting in the car. Apparently, she couldn’t just get closer to find out what was going on there.

After a long while, Jessica still hadn’t come out yet. Natalia didn’t think it was a good idea to continue waiting, so she was about to leave.

However, right then, she heard a child’s cry.

Natalia was taken aback for a moment. In the beginning, she thought that she misheard. She opened the car window and listened carefully. Then she confirmed that there was indeed a child’s cry.

Natalia pulled over her car on the street, which was distant from the townhouse. Along the wide street were all newly planted bushes.

Natalia got off the car and walked towards the cry. After taking a few steps, she saw a child about three or four sitting on a tree stool, crying sadly.

Natalia was startled.

It was completely dark around here, and only the moonlight fell among the spaces of the branches and leaves.

Since it was so quiet, the child’s cry sounded extremely loud. Under such a circumstance, Natalia felt quite creepy.

She swallowed.

Plucking up her courage, she approached the child step by step.

“Hey, little girl. Are you alright?” she said to the child.

The little girl sitting on the tree stool turned around, exposing her pretty little face.

In the dark under the moonlight, Natalia could see that she was wearing a white dress and a pink lint coat. Her hair was slightly curled.

Her pretty face was half-hidden in the white fur collar of her coat, making her look like a delicate and lovely elf. Natalia couldn’t help liking her as soon as she saw the little girl’s face.

Her eyes lit up.
