Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Her voice was pitiful. Philip, exasperated, snapped, “You’re not seriously thinking of going and telling her the truth about what happened five years ago?”

Clara chimed in, “Natalia’s saying that much, but I’ve thought it over. If she’s fine, she can’t hide forever. She’s just trying to get one over on us right now, and might not know everything. So long as we hold fast, she can’t do anything about us. As for Jessica, I’ll send people to take care of it. She’ll have to put up with it for a while. Still, with her special identity, she shouldn’t suffer too much. As long as she can hold under pressure and doesn’t admit to anything, we should be fine.”

Hearing that, Aleena couldn’t believe it.

“That’s a huge ‘should’, Mom! That means that it’s possible for her to crack and admit to the crime! Jessica’s never been through hardship growing up; how could she stay in a place like that?”

Clara looked at her impatiently.

“Didn’t I say I’m sending people over to take care of it? She made this mess herself, so it’s good for her to stew a bit right now. That way she’ll remember not to go out and cause trouble again someday!”

She grunted with displeasure.

Aleena didn’t have a reply for that.

After a while, she tried, “Didn’t you say last time that over at Eqitin…”

Clara frowned.

“I’m already in contact with that side. I’ll hear back in a few days. Don’t tell Jessica for now, just in case she causes some more trouble if she can’t hold it in. Don’t worry. If my contacts are secure, nothing will happen to Jessica. By then, if the Millers come up and ask us to be family again, we’ll be having none of it.”

Aleena relaxed a little and nodded.

“All right. Your call, Mom.”

Meanwhile, Natalia couldn’t have imagined that she’d meet someone who should never have appeared on Fortuna Island.

Selena ran right into her the moment she arrived at the hotel.

She was wearing a simple white shirt with straight trousers underneath. With her hair in a ponytail, she looked fresh and energetic.

Seeing Natalia, she seemed surprised as well.
