Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 275

“You! Selena, how could you? You think you’re such a big deal now that you’re the daughter of the Kawn family? You’re just a knock-out...”

Selena slapped Maxwell in the face. Her eyes turn red and she barked, “If you keep saying that, I'll kill you! Piss off!”

She hit him so hard that Maxwell's face turned sideways. He looked extremely resentful.

Natalia shook her head.

They were now nemesis.

She thought this was it. Maxwell was definitely going to lose when he came to her like that.

He knew Selena was adopted and the Kawn family was looking for their real child, he stilled dared to bring that up.

He asked for it.

Selena was kind enough not to kick him out immediately.

Natalia was bored and was about to leave.

Then she heard a sound.

“Meow!”

A black figure came out. It scratched her face and ran away.

Natalia grunted in pain and found three bloody scratches on her face.

Where did that cat come from?

The noises startled them. Selena quickly came forward and sprinted across the branch, only to see Natalia hiding there.

Selena’s face was quite pale. She yelled, “What are you doing here?”

“I’m looking for a cat. It scratched my face and disappeared. Have you seen it?”

Selena looked very gloomy. She turned back to have an eye contact with Maxwell, who was also frightened.

“A cat? Everyone knows Mrs. McCarthy doesn’t like cats. Who dares to keep one here?”

Selena stared at her grimly. She was completely different from the mild girl she pretended to be in the diner.

Natalia was a little scared.

Was she gonna silence the witness?

She would not dare to do something strange, she thought.

After all, it was the McCarthy Mansion. So many people were here.

But she was still afraid seeing that woman behaved so differently in front of her.

She forced a smile and stepped back quietly.

“I’m not lying. I really saw a cat. See! This wound cannot lie!”

She showed her the horrifying scratches on her fair skin.

But Selena was still silent and the look on her face became even more terrifying.

Natalia smiled, “Miss Kawn, why are you so nervous? Who’s that mister behind you? He looks familiar. Is he a friend of yours?”

Selena said coldly, “No. I don’t know who he is.”

“Oh, ok.”

Natalia nodded and didn’t want to stay here for too long.

“Then I’m gonna leave now. That bloody cat! It hurts so much. I wonder if it has been vaccinated. I need to see the doctor now.”

She left hurriedly.

She felt that Selena must be staring at her. She knew she would be the pain in the ass for Selena whether she told her secret or not.

But she didn’t care.

Even though Selena was from the Kawn family, she was not so weak based on her behavior today.

Natalia was not afraid of her. She didn’t overhear on purpose so she didn’t feel ashamed.

Archie quickly finished his talk with his grandfather. Since he had promised to go home with Natalia that afternoon, he started looking for her everywhere.

After searching in the living room and the garden in vain, he asked a servant and found out that she had gone back into the garden.

It was only late fall, but it was already freezing in Eqitin. Natalia didn’t wear enough clothes today and Archie was afraid that she might catch a cold.

They met under an archway between two courts.

When Natalia saw him, she pulled him over.

“What are you doing out here? It’s windy outside. You could’ve caught a cold.”

As he spoke, the man took off his coat and threw it over her shoulders.

Natalia waved her hand, “It’s ok. Just come with me. I want to tell you something.”

“What is it?”

Natalia looked around and grabbed his sleeve, “I’ll tell you outside.”

They returned to the living room and greeted Mrs. McCarthy. Then, they left the mansion together.

When they got into the car, Natalia took a sip of water and then said, “Do you know who I just saw in the garden back there?”

“Who?”

“Selena.”

Archie frowned, “What's wrong with her?”

“She has been with a man I know, Maxwell Cohen, an artist also signed by Annie International. He's been all over Twitter for the last two days, and these two seem to have some conflicts recently.”

Archie thought for a moment and said, “The McCarthy family and The Kawn family are family friends, but we don't care about things like this. We normally help each other when something big happens. And Selena is in her twenties now, so it's normal for her to have a relationship.”

Natalia shook her head.

“No, not that. I heard Maxwell say that he just dumped an old woman to be with Selena. I think there's something sneaky with him.”

Archie was stunned, “Old woman?”

“Yes.”

Natalia nodded and realized that Archie was too busy to keep up with the news about the show business, even if it was about the artists signed by his own company.

So, she told him what Iris had said on the phone at noon.

She added, “It’s just that Maxwell doesn't seem reliable to me. He’s kind of paranoid. If Selena really breaks up with him, I’m afraid he may do something bad to her.”

Archie looked at her, which made Natalia feel very nervous.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Nothing.”

He paused for a minute and asked the driver to drive.

Then, he turned back and looked at her again.

Natalia became very agitated.

“Archie, don’t give me that look. You’re making me uncomfortable.”
