Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 195

“Quit it, with looks that good and acting that solid, why would she go through the back door? The tabloids just made it up as they went!”

“Yeah! It was just a photo of someone going inside a room. Doesn’t prove anything. Can’t colleagues even go in each other’s rooms?”

Still, those voices were few and far between.

Soon, they were drowned out by the doubters.

Even the real fans were quite upset. After all, this was such a rarely talented young lady.

They thought they could get behind her, but then this scandal came out.

They might not have believed it, but if the scandal developed further, even the fake news would become real!

After that, though, another video came out on the internet.

This one was an edited piece showing Natalia and Jessica’s interview.

In the video, Natalia clearly explained the situation last night and showed proof that their food and drink had been drugged.

That resurrected all the true fans right away.

It was fake?

Who was it, that’s going too far! Such a low blow against her!

They felt a surge of pity for the young lady and decided to stand with her no matter what!

While the fans riled themselves up, Natalia didn’t know the waves she was making on the internet.

There was still shooting to do in the afternoon, so there wasn’t much time to rest. After lunch, she laid down next to her dressing room and closed her eyes for a power nap.

But the moment she laid down, someone rammed the door open. Jessica stormed in.

Nancy reflexively stood in front of her to block the way. Natalia lifted her head, saw who it was, and frowned imperceptibly.

“It’s fine, Nancy, let her in.”

Nancy moved off.

Jessica walked in front of her and raged, “What is the meaning of this, Natalia?”

Natalia looked at her with a half-smile on her face.

“What is it? Have I upset my dear sister again? Running over to bust my chops so early in the day.”

Jessica clenched her fists and felt an overwhelming urge to rip Natalia’s smiling face off.

She fought it, took a deep breath, and growled, “Where’s Rosa? Where did you stuff her?”

Natalia cocked an eyebrow.

She raised her head, looked at Nancy and asked, confused, “Who’s Rosa?”

Nancy explained, “I think it’s Miss Dawson’s assistant. The one who’s always with her.”

Natalia nodded, as if she had finally understood something.

Then she looked back at Jessica, even more confused. “Is your assistant missing?”

Jessica almost coughed blood.

“Quit playing dumb, Natalia! Someone saw this woman of yours with Rosa, and you want to pretend like nothing’s happened?”

Natalia frowned and looked at Nancy.

Exasperated, Nancy explained, “I don’t know her that well and only got to meet her after I came onto the casting crew with you. I saw her crying today as if she’d been through something, so I comforted her a little. Why are you saying all this like I’ve done something wrong, Miss Dawson?”

She shot Jessica a dissatisfied glance.

Natalia bowed her head, paused, and said to Jessica, “I believe Nancy. She wouldn’t lie to me. Your assistant’s disappearance shouldn’t have anything to do with her. Besides, why would we kidnap your assistant? If you want to look for someone, you should go to the police, so what’s with the tantrum?”

Jessica was struck speechless.

Of course she wasn’t going to say that it was because Rosa went missing after reporting that the food and drink from last night was gone.

While Natalia had taken out the report for the food and drink, which was why she was worried that Rosa got caught by Natalia, and why she’d come up to ask for her.

If she said all that, she was basically admitting that she was responsible for last night.

But if she didn’t say anything, now that that brat was in Natalia’s hands, if anything came out of it, she was done for!

Jessica was in a state of panic.

But looking at Natalia’s still expression, she couldn’t guess if she’d caught Rosa or not.

Finally, she scoffed.

“Fine, I’ll believe you. You’d best pray that you didn’t have anything to do with it, or I won’t let you go!”

With that, she left in a huff.

Nancy waited until she’d left, shut the door, and sneered. “I don’t know where she gets her guts from to say that she won’t let you go! As if she could really do anything.”

Natalia reclined on her couch and smiled, saying nothing in reply.

She took a sip of tea and asked, “She’s still not talking?”

Speaking of that, Nancy’s brow furrowed slightly. “Yeah.”

“Take me to her.”

A little over ten minutes later, the pair arrived at the hotel room.

On a sofa in the room, a seventeen to eighteen-year-old girl sat. Her hair was short, her pretty face was pale, and she was thin as a rack. With her head bowed, she remained completely silent.

Natalia walked up and looked down on her from above. Her lips parted.

“We’ve got the video of you going over to the waiter. Even if you don’t admit it, if I give this to the police, they’ll find out sooner or later.”

Rosa’s body trembled.

Still, she bit her lip and didn’t say anything.

Frowning, Nancy reminded her from the side, “Why don’t you think about what your family’s going to do with you in jail?”

Still, Nancy remained silent and bowed her head lower.

Natalia looked at her. From her angle, she could see the girl’s tight lips and determined face.

She was quiet for a while, then suddenly said, “Never mind, let her go!”

“Natalia!”

“It’s fine.” Natalia stopped whatever Nancy was about to say, looked mildly at Rosa, and murmured, “I don’t know why you’re helping Jessica like this and even covering up her tracks for her. But maybe you’ve got troubles of your own. I won’t force you. Any time you want to talk, come find me!”

With that, she really had Nancy escort her out.

A few minutes later, Nancy came back, utterly befuddled.

“I don’t get it, Natalia. Why’d you let her go? She had that server drug you! Jessica must be behind this! If she’d only speak, we’ve had proof to use against Jessica.”

Natalia chuckled.

She took a look at the time. It was getting late. Time to get back to shooting. As she walked out, she said, “She wouldn’t really stay and testify for us if we kept her here, so what’s the point?”

Puffing up, Nancy glared at her.
