Chapter 24 His Woman
"Archie of the Mccarthy Group is here!"
The noisy crowd suddenly gave way spontaneously, and all the people turned their heads in surprise to see a slender and straight figure slowly walking in at the end of the crowd. Natalia shook hard, with her pupils clenching.
The man seemed to be wrapped in the wind. His pace was extremely fast but did not appear to be in a hurry. His deep black pupils resembled fine ink jade, glowing with an icy cold light, and his entire body exuded a cold and stern aura of being unapproachable.
He was followed by Brian, and a few black-clad bodyguards standing still at the door without entering.
Brian handed the congratulatory gift to a nearby receptionlist before following him inside.
"Archie!
It's really him, what's he doing here?"
Someone among the guests murmured something low, and the others seemed to react then and shock.
Most of those who came today are people with status in the society, even if they haven't seen Archie in person, haven't they seen him in magazines and TV?
So, everyone knew the man.
The heir of the Mccarthy consortium!
The real controller of the Mccarthy Group!
More so, he was the founder of the Annita International, the recently momentum entertainment empire!
What was he doing here?
Clara was immediately overjoyed, rushing to welcome him.
"Welcome, Mr. Archie!
Come in, please!"
Seeing this, Philip and Aleena followed closely, with smiles on their faces.
"I didn't know you would come over, sorry for the extra delay!"
When the Dawson family sent invitations to Archie, it was just formality.
Everyone knew that although Mr. Archie had recently come to J City, he did not attend any social functions.
There had been countless people who had failed, and naturally, the Dawson family didn't think they would be an exception.
But to their surprise, he was here today!
Clara and the others were overjoyed. Natalia was also excited.
Archie, help me!
She opened her mouth and shouted wordlessly.
Alfred noticed her mood and his face changed.
"You want him to help you?
Stop dreaming!
Look at your status. A person like Archie, not to mention the Dawson family, even the the Miller family may not get touch with him, and do you know what the outside world says about him?" Alfred sneered and continued.
"Everyone says he's Gay and doesn't like women, and the last woman who presumed to climb into his bed was already thrown into the L River, so don't get delusional!"
He said, helping Natalia to walk in the direction of the elevator.
Natalia became anxious.
Lowering her head, she bit down on the back of his hand.
Although she had been drugged and her whole body was weak, she still had a little strength left in the end.
Plus how could she not struggle desperately at this point with hope on the horizon?
Alfred didn't expect that she would dare to resist even at this point.
In a moment of inattention, he was actually bitten by her, and with a cry of pain and surprise, the woman in his arms suddenly ran away.
"Hiss- bitch! How dare you bite me? Stop there!"
With a stern cry, before the crowd could react, a black shadow swept past their eyes and lunged straight towards the man standing at the entrance to the hall.
Archie took a big step forward and swept Natalia up before she fell.
With a hook of his long arm, the soft woman had fallen into his arms.
The faces of the crowd paled.
Dear me!
Who was that?
Wasn't that Natalia?
How dare she touch Archie?
Everyone knew that Archie hated women the most!
In all the years in the business, there was no word of any woman he had ever been good with, and there had even been people who had sent as many stunning celebrities to his bed in order to please him, only to end up not only being returned intact, but even losing their original orders!
It's a wonder a guy liked this...... would like women!
There were those present who had their hearts set on Archie, but didn't dare to go forward, and they were all wide-eyed at the sight.
Anger ensued beyond belief.
Holy shit!
That was shameless!
Her own boyfriend was still present, how dare she seduce another man? Did she want to die!
And Natalia, wrapped in Archie's arms, smelling the familiar crisp fragrance of his body, almost wept with joy.
A feeling of survival in a desperate place made her grab Archie's clothes with a death grip, as if she was holding onto the last straw to save her life, and even her body couldn't help but tremble. Archie's pupils were slightly cold.
Thinking about what he had just heard outside, he naturally understood what had happened.
He reached out and patted the woman's thin back gently. His eyes lifted slightly as he looked across the room with a cold, stern gaze.
Alfred had already walked over quickly, and his face changed when he saw Natalia shrinking in his arms.
Clara also changed her face, afraid of offending Archie because of this, and hurriedly explained.
"Mr. Archie, I'm sorry, this is my granddaughter. She got drunk and lost her temper. I'll have someone take her away right away."
The she said in a stern voice.
"Mr. Chan, can't you even watch your own girlfriend?
What's it like to jump on another man in front of so many people?"
Alfred stepped forward and said in a cold voice.
"Natalia, come here!
Don't wrinkle Mr. Archie's clothes!"
Natalia shrank in Archie's arms and didn't move, and Clara frowned when she saw this.
She sighed, seemingly helpless.
"My granddaughter... alas!
Blame me for my poor coaching. It's okay to get drunk at usual time, but today such an occasion ... ugh!
I am sorry about that!
Mr. Chan, go over and pull her back!"
When Alfred was about to make a move, Archie suddenly spoke in a low and cold voice.
"Don't you dare touch her!"
The crowd froze.
They looked at him incredulously, as if they couldn't believe it was him who said that.
Archie hooked his lips coldly and sternly, looking straight at Clara, "Old Lady Dawson, whose girlfriend did you just say she is?"
Clara was stunned, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong, but she didn't fully react to it.
She could only answer by instinct.
"She, she is Mr. Chan's girlfriend, this one, the second young master of Shuangta Group."
"Well."
A sneer interrupted her introduction.
Archie's voice was so cold that it could almost fall out of the ice crumbs, and his pair of deep ink-like pupils was even colder and more severe. "When did my wife become this scum's girlfriend?"
Guests, "..."
Clara, ".."
Alfred, "..."
What did he just say?
It was like their ears were blocked!
Natalia was Archie's wife?
How could that be possible?!!!
There were so many people showing shocked expressions that when Clara spoke, everyone around them hadn't reacted yet.
"Mr. Archie, have you made a mistake?
She, she is just an ordinary little girl, how can she be your wife?"
Archie gave a cold laugh.
"Ordinary?
I don't think so?
My wife has always been radiant as a pearl, shining brightly, only some blind people can't see it!"
Clara,
Alfred saw that the situation was not right, his eyes rolled, and he tried to slip away quietly when everyone was not paying attention to him.
However, when he had only just touched the entrance to the hall, he was stopped by Brian.
As soon as he looked up, he saw a smiling face of this elite secretary, "Mr. Chan, where are you going to?
Are you going to leave your girlfriend here?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
