Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 184

What people didn’t quite understand was why she got into the entertainment business so late and had to sleep with a director for a role even though she was incredibly stunning.

Their curiosity was aroused by Natalia. Plus, some of them had already heard of her name because she was Jessica’s sister.

They couldn’t wait to spread the word for Natalia after her topics went trending throughout social media, so almost everybody began to know her shortly afterwards.

Since these were basically scandals, most people held criticizing opinions when they heard of the news.

But that didn’t stop some people liking her good looks for now.

And as for those pictures?

Why rush to make comments before either party gave their side of the story?

Those who had known the entertainment industry all knew better than jumping to a conclusion.

For most of the cases, a story like this would have quite a surprising ending. Nobody would want to say something they would regret later.

Consequently, a lot of people were on the fence and didn’t start trashing her except for a few Jessica’s fans who still held grudges against Natalia for what happened before and those who were radical but didn’t know the truth.

The rest of them, to Jessica’ surprise, were all waiting for an update without saying anything harsh to either side.

Obviously, Jessica was angry to see their reactions.

She didn’t have a clue why Natalia was so lucky and why they responded to those pictures like that.

She said flatly, “Julia, it’s not enough. Find more people for me. This time, I will tear down her reputation for good!”

Julia frowned, “But just a couple of pictures are not enough. If we push too hard, it may leave some trace and cause trouble for us.”

Jessica thought about it and then agreed.

“So, what’s next?”

“Take it slow, of course. Make more evidence first.”

...

In the McCarthy Properties.

In the chairman’s office, there was palpable tension in the air.

Brian was standing in front of the desk, lowering his head. He didn’t even dare to make a sound.

And behind the desk, Archie’s face was as gloomy as the darkest cloud when he was looking at the gossip news on his computer.

“Mr. McCarthy, this whole thing is staged to libel Mrs. McCarthy. It can’t be real.”

Archie glanced at him gloomily.

“Tell me about it! I don’t need you to remind me of that!”

He trusted her, absolutely.

Besides, who the hell was this Vicente Langes? He was no match for him in terms of appearance, wealth or charm.

Anyone with two eyes knew who to choose.

But anyway, he was still upset about those pictures on Twitter.

Archie gazed at them for a while and said in a deep voice, “Dig deep. Find out who’s behind this.”

Brian bowed his head promptly, “Yes, Mr. McCarthy.”

While Archie had ordered his men to investigate, Natalia was busy with filming.

Although the gossip was already fired up, she acted like nothing happened.

Vicente was impressed by her calmness. On the contrary, he was not so happy about Jessica’s presence as she was ceaselessly making trouble on the set.

On this day, Jessica started to nag about how disgusting the boxed meal was and sent Rosa to buy her meals from a restaurant called Primal Steakhouse.

That restaurant was on the other end of the city and it was during the rush hour at noon. It would take at least two or three hours to get Jessica what she wanted. Also, the temperature was getting higher. It would be very exhausting to run errands for her at high noon.

But the little princess didn’t care and she would give Rosa a hard time if she was late or the meals were cold.

The other people were furious when they saw the thin Rosa stood there, scolded by Jessica fiercely, and didn’t have the guts to talk back.

They also remembered how nice and kind Jessica behaved in front of the camera, which seemed sarcastic and ridiculous right now.

Last night, Natalia worked until three in the morning and was free in the morning. Vicente told her to have a rest and come back to work after lunch.

So, when she arrived, it was already one in the afternoon. Just as she walked pass a corner, she heard the suppressed weeping of a girl.

Natalia stopped and turned around. She saw a tiny girl at the corner piled with bricks. She was crying and crouching with her arms around her knees.

Nancy came back last night and she was with Natalia today, acting as her bodyguard and assistant. She saw that Natalia halted and seemed to be very interested about that person over there, so she decided to ask that girl to come over here.

However, just when she was about to go, Natalia stopped her and went there herself.

Nancy puckered her lips and followed.

That girl was still crying silently. Her skinny body trembled as she sobbed.

Maybe she had heard their footsteps. She raised her head slowly and felt a shadow enfolding her.

“It’s hot outside. Aren’t you afraid of heatstroke?”

The girl looked up at the slender woman, thinking that her voice was so beautiful, just like a melody.

Rosa panicked a little as she gazed at her.

Natalia smiled faintly and offered her a clean handkerchief which she normally kept with her, “Wipe your tears, your makeup is messed up.”

Rosa wiped her face confusedly and unconsciously. She reached for her handkerchief. But she drew her hand back suddenly.

At the next moment, she stood up and said nervously, "I know, thank you."

Natalia paused for a second.

She looked down and chuckled after thinking of something. She didn’t force her to accept her kindness and took the handkerchief back.

“Why are you crying like this? Are you wronged?”

Rosa bit her lips and then shook her head.

“Don't worry, I won't meddle in your business, and I'm not trying to comfort you. I just want to give you some advice. If you really want to cry in the middle of the day, you should find somewhere else. Otherwise, you will get sunstroke, and it's going to be a lot worse if you're lying in a quiet corner all by yourself, don't you think?”

Rosa was stunned and raised her head while Natalia smiled at her.

“You can cry when you're sad, but you also have to protect yourself."

After she said that, she turned and left with Nancy.

Rosa wondered if there was something wrong with Natalia’s mind.

She was already so sad and she had to pick an appropriate place to cry?

But then she felt that her skin was really uncomfortable with the fierce midday sun.

She was feeling bad enough, and the sun was going to make her feel even worse.

Would she feel better if she cried somewhere cool and comfortable?

When she realized what she was thinking, Rosa stopped abruptly.

This was ... so weird.

Natalia didn't care what she thought and strolled over to the set. She saw the props were still unfinished and went into the dressing room to get ready.
