Chapter 419 Womanizer

It was from Ricky, with just one small line on it.

Archie sneered with cold eyes.

Natalia had been half-asleep. One moment she dreamed of Kenya shoving lotus flowers at her and smiling at her strangely, and the next of a man dressed in black chasing her while she ran desperately and then was tackled to the ground by the man.

The man pulled out a knife and smiled cruelly at her, "You know too much. Go to hell!"

Natalia woke up with a startled start.

She opened her eyes and the first thing that caught her eye was the intricate and beautiful ceiling overhead and then the magnificent bedroom.

There was only a small yellow light on in the house. Archie was leaning over the bed, holding his laptop and working on something. When she opened her eyes, he said in a soft voice, "You're awake?" Natalia sighed in relief and climbed to her feet, then wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Archie's eyes twinkled.

He dropped his notebook, got out of bed, went outside, poured a glass of water, and brought it in to her.

Natalia took it and drank. The warm water trickled down her throat and into her stomach, banishing the fear she felt in her heart.

"I almost got killed today." She said suddenly.

Archie's eyes deepened, "What happened?"

Natalia pursed her lips and took another sip of water to moisten her throat before saying, "When I went to change, I accidentally overheard Allen and Alma talking. It seems that Allen lost 200 million in gambling, and the 200 million was the company's. They were discussing how to settle it."

Natalia knew in her heart that what happened tonight must have something to do with them.

Why else had she only heard their conversation and the next thing she knew, something had happened to her?

Kenya wasn't a nice person either. The reason she was dizzy was because of the lotus flower, which Kenya had handed to her. They must have colluded.

She knew her ability. It was fine for her to deal with others, but if she hadn't told Archie, she might have died one day while dealing with someone as powerful as the Stevenson family in Othua.

"I guess it's because they found out I heard them talking, so they tried to kill me to cover up their crime."

She paused and added, "Kenya isn't a nice person either. She gave me that lotus flower, and I only got drunk because I smelled its fragrance. I hadn't drunk much at all before that." Archie didn't say anything but stared at her deeply.

Natalia noticed the look in his eyes and her heart fluttered.

"You don't believe me?" Her heart sank slightly.

Archie smiled as he stroked the top of her head.

"How could I not trust you when you trusted me so much in the most dangerous of times?"

At that time, when Ricky brought her to him, he sensed something was wrong.

While she did look like she was reacting when she was drunk that way, the expression on Ricky's face was not right.

It was only when he got into the car and saw that text message that he was sure that there was indeed something fishy going on.

The text message read, "They know about it and want to kill Natalia."

Seeing that he didn't disbelieve her, Natalia was relieved and patted her chest, "I was really scared to death just now. Luckily, I met Ricky, otherwise, I would have been really screwed."

A cold light crossed Archie's eyes.

"Oh yeah, they also mentioned Charlie, saying that if Charlie hadn't kicked him out back then, he wouldn't have turned out like this. I thought I'd warn Victoria. As much as I don't like that bastard, Charlie is Victoria's baby's father now after all, and he'd better not get into trouble."

Having said that, she really picked up her phone and started texting Victoria.

At her serious look, Archie suddenly said, "Do you know who Kenya is?"

Natalia blurted out without thinking, "I thought she was Mrs. Stevenson's granddaughter."

Only after the words had been spoken did she pause for a moment and react.

Then she raised her head and looked at Archie in disbelief.

"Mrs. Stevenson has only one daughter, and that is Alma. Her granddaughter is, of course, Alma's daughter, so naturally, it's not surprising that they would want to join forces against you to hide their secret." Natalia pursed her lips.

"Why do I feel like I'm just a troublemaker? Everywhere I go, I hear people's secrets."

Archie was amused by her and stroked her head, "Well, stop filling your head with nonsense. I'll sort it out. You rest for a while. I'll go out and make a phone call."

Natalia nodded.

As she watched Archie head out to the terrace, she still felt a little uneasy.

She had just messaged Victoria and she hadn't answered. She was thinking about giving her a call when she suddenly received a message from Max.

"Natalia, a question for you. What is usually the most popular gift a woman likes to receive?"

Natalia froze.

Max asked her for advice on gift-giving?

That wasn't right!

Wasn't he known as a womanizer? Since when did he need to ask for advice on that?

Natalia felt surprised, thought about it, and still replied.

"It depends on the person, I guess. Everyone's preferences are different. But jewelry and pretty clothes and bags and shoes are what almost every woman likes." Max sent a bitter face emoji over.

"And what if she doesn't like any of those?"

Natalia raised an eyebrow.

Her slender fingers moved quickly across the screen.

"Then maybe she just doesn't like you."

Max was speechless.

Archie finished the call and entered the room just in time to see Natalia sitting there holding her phone and talking to someone else.

"Who?" He walked over to her.

"Max," Natalia looked up and raised the phone in her hand, "He seems to be in love and is courting a girl. I guess it's Laura."

Archie raised an eyebrow and sat down next to her. He watched the conversation between the two and said, "He's hooked up with so many girls. Does he still need a girlfriend?"

Natalia laughed, "He said he's been watching too many couples show their affection lately and wants a girlfriend. I don't think he treats Laura the same as he treats other girls. Maybe they can really make a couple?"

"Heh!" Archie chuckled and glanced at the time.

Eleven thirty in the evening.

He thought for a moment and suddenly snatched Natalia's phone away from her, then wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the lips.

Natalia only felt a flash of light before she saw a picture of the two of them kissing left on her phone.

"Send this to him," Archie said.

Natalia was speechless.

"Well... I don't think it's a good idea!" She was a little embarrassed, "Max will crack up when he sees it."

"All I want is for him to crack up."

Natalia was even more speechless.

Seeing that Natalia wasn't moving, Archie picked up the phone himself and sent the photo over.
