Chapter 392 Won't See Him Again

In an instant, countless cameras were levelled at him and fired away in a barrage.

Shawn froze there to the spot, and when everyone had taken their photos and stepped back, they riled up instantly upon replaceing it really was him.

"Mr. Miller, I heard you were meeting your ex-girlfriend Mrs. Natalia McCarthy here, is that true?"

"You've been separated for a long time; are you reigniting the flame now?"

"You do know she's married to Mr. McCarthy now, don't you? Do you still think it's possible for you two to be together?"

"How many times have you met up in private until now?"

п

Countless sharp questions pressed forward. With everyone soaked in the excitement of tabloid news, they forgot that Shawn was still tied up and gagged and couldn't speak.

It was until the end before a reporter finally found that something was wrong.

He hurriedly walked up and took the gag out of his mouth.

But the moment he did, Shawn raged, "What are you babbling about? I've been kidnapped! I haven't even seen Natalia at all!"

The reporters were speechless.

The hotel staff members were speechless.

Shawn wasn't stupid, after all. With her status now, Natalia wasn't someone he could make an enemy of.

Besides, the two had long since become past tense. If he admitted he still had a private affair with Natalia, it wouldn't benefit him.

Because of that, Natalia was fine leaving him there.

At this moment, on the other side.

Natalia took Felix with her as she jumped into another room through the balcony, finally escaping the hotel while there was nobody outside.

Considering that she'd been set up like this, the reporters wouldn't just be swarming around outside the room, they ought to be downstairs at the hotel too. So the pair had taken the back door. But the moment they walked out, a black sedan screeched to a stop in front of the two.

Felix cocked an eyebrow.

"What do you think your husband would do if I told him that the man you were having an affair with was me and not Shawn Miller, little Seven?"

Natalia glared at him impatiently and snapped, "Quit playing around!"

She released his hand and walked towards the car.

The car window rolled down by half, revealing the side of the man's ice-carved face.

He didn't look at them, but his tightly-wound expression and the low pressure in the surroundings already explained everything.

Natalia bit her lip and said, "Archie, I can explain."

Archie didn't speak.

Soon, Natalia pulled open the door and got in, and the car vanished from Felix's sight.

He looked at the direction the car had left and finally curled his lip, laughing self-deprecatingly.

At this moment, in the car.

The atmosphere was so tense it was hard to breathe.

Archie still hadn't spoken. The aura of cold emanating around him was enough to freeze someone solid.

Even Brian, who was sitting in front driving, felt a bit of a chill up his spine, and couldn't suppress a shiver. Natalia pursed her lips and opened her mouth after a while.

"I've been set up. Someone tricked me with a recording of Victoria's voice. I came here because I thought something had happened to her. Then I was knocked out, and woke to see Felix there, along with Shawn, who'd been tied up. I suspect someone's trying to use Shawn to ruin my reputation, as for the rest, I'm not sure. But I woke up quickly enough and escaped. They shouldn't have gotten what they wanted."

She thought she'd explained it pretty clearly.

But Archie still asked, "So, you mean that this was all a misunderstanding?"

Natalia floundered.

She raised her head and looked at his eyes.

The man's gaze was cold and deep, frosted over, biting to the bone.

Her gut clenched, and she suddenly understood something.

"What have you heard?"

Archie's lips curved up coldly.

He took up his phone, his slender fingertip tapping at the screen. Immediately afterwards, a risqué recording started to play.

"Felix... not so hard... mmm..."

Natalia's expression changed.

The recording was short, but it was clear to any adult what was going on.

Archie sneered.

"Can you still tell me now that it was all a misunderstanding?"

Natalia trembled, her face going pale.

She looked at him in disbelief. "You don't believe me?"

Archie didn't speak.

Natalia found it ironically funny. "Archie, this recording is obviously synthesized. You can tell, can't you?!"

This time, the man's expression finally loosened.

He shot her a look and demanded, "So his appearance here today, that's a coincidence too?"

It was Natalia's turn to be at a loss for words.

Archie showed his ironic and sneering expression again.

"You say that someone's trying to set you and Shawn up. I believe you. But what's this recording about? Someone trying to set you and Shawn up mentioning Felix's name in the recording - do you think that explanation works?"

Natalia paused, then reacted soon enough.

"What time did you call me?"

Archie didn't speak.

Natalia didn't bother going through him and took out her own phone. It was fifteen minutes ago.

It would have taken at least fifteen minutes to get here over from the airport. Meaning that the moment Archie had got off the plane, he'd called her and heard the recording.

But she'd been knocked out in front of the room over two hours ago.

Considering that, Natalia understood the general flow of things.

She massaged her aching head.

"Sorry. I haven't been considerate enough of this, and I've troubled you. I'm pretty sure Felix put that recording out. He just doesn't want to let us off. Don't fall for his tricks."

Archie smirked.

"Oh? Then he likes you?"

Natalia floundered.

"I always felt that your relationship with him isn't simple, but thinking back, I don't recall you having anything to do with each other before. Now, seems like my feeling wasn't just a feeling, was it?" Natalia didn't answer. She actually didn't know what to say at the moment.

Archie asked on, "Why didn't you bring Nancy out with you today?"

"I..." she hesitated, then forced a smile. "Sorry, I forgot."

A trace of knowing flashed through Archie's gaze.

"Did you forget or did you leave her deliberately? You've already learned to lie to me, Natalia."

п

The man looked at her with such deep, serious eyes, but there was a complicated bit of helplessness and disappointment in them too.

"You know something? I always thought that, for the two of us to make it to today, it was enough to be honest with each other, but clearly, you don't think the same. You can keep hiding it from me, Natalia, but as your husband, I think I have the right to ask you to be faithful to me! So, could you never see this man again?"

Natalia choked, her throat closing up a little.

"Archie..."

"I won't take no for an answer."

For the first time before her, he showed his hard side.
