Chapter 35 If I Die, You Die With Me
Archie curled his lips, and even his always emotionless face were now tinted with a smile.
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
"So that's it?"
"Well, bye."
Hanging up the phone, he looked at the phone and smiled happily.
The setting sun slanted and sank. The golden light spilled from the horizon to the earth was like a layer
of warm quilt to the world, and even his heart was wrapped in a burst of warmth.
He put away his phone, turned around, and walked into the conference room.
The senior managers were waiting for him. The marketing manager standing in front of the projector
was about to continue to report the plan for the next year, but was interrupted by Archie with a raised
hand.
"All right, everyone is tired today. Why don't we just stop here. Just now I pointed out a few proposals
that need to be revised, and you should take them back and fix all the problems I just mentioned and
bring them to back me tomorrow. That's it for the meeting today, OK? Meeting adjourned!"
He said and had immediately strode away without waiting for them.
Those senior managers were all stunned.
Wh ... What?
That's it for the meeting today?
Had they ever finished a meeting with Archie McCarthy before eight in the evening?
It would not surprise them if a meeting should last after the midnight.
But now the meeting was finished at this hour of the day?
It was just five in the afternoon, my dear boss?
Never mind those senior managers, even Brian felt somewhat surprised.
Just now when Archie went out to answer the phone, he accidentally glanced at the name on the
screen and knew it was Natalia calling.
But he had never expect that she would actually have such a great charm!
His workaholic boss would just leave his work just to go home to have dinner with her?
Well, Brian silently decided in his heart to change the strategy in the future!
It didn't matter how well the boss was served, but it did matter to suck up to his wife first!
...
After Natalia called Archie, she also gave Clara a call.
The Dawson family was now enveloped in an awkward atmosphere.
Shawn had been called back by his father, so he was not here. In the living room were sitting Clara,
Jessica, and Philip.
Except for them, there was just silence in this room and none of them spoke.
Therefore, when the phone rang, it seemed particularly abrupt and sharp.
Clara impatiently cast a glance at David, the butler, who hurriedly went over to pick it up.
A few seconds later, he trotted back and whispered, "Ma'am, it's Miss Natalia."
Clara smiled coldly.
"How dare she even call back!"
David lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Jessica said timidly, "Grandma, could it be that Natalia has realized she went too far this time and
called to apologize?"
Philip cursed angrily, "She thinks an apology would be the end of it? The company has lost so much,
can she afford to pay for it?"
Clara listened to Philip's words, but her eyes flashed.
Nobody knew what she thought and she just got up, and walked over to answer the phone.
"What do you want?"
On the other side, Natalia hooked the corner of her lips.
"Mrs. Dawson, did you have a good time?"
Clara's face was gloomy, and she said in a cold voice, "You don't have to call back just to mock at me.
What has happened has happened. Although we had been embarrassed, you won't be any better than
us since you are my granddaughter!"
"Is that so? I'm a little surprised, in the eyes of Mrs. Dawson, I'm still your granddaughter!"
These words were obviously sarcastic, causing Clara's throat to stutter.
Something was about to spill out of her mouth.
But she suppressed it in the end and said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Nothing important really. It's just what my mother left behind. The condition at the beginning was that I
had to wait until after I got married before I could inherit it, and now that I'm married, shouldn't you also
return the things to me?"
Clara's gaze flickered slightly.
She did not refuse, but only said in a cold voice, "When do you want it?"
"Naturally, the sooner the better."
"The day after tomorrow at the earliest. The lawyer is not in Julio right now, so I need time to inform
him."
"No problem!"
The conversation was cut off at this point, and there was silence on the phone.
Just as Natalia was about to hang up, over the phone, Clara suddenly sighed.
"Natalia, I can understand the resentment you must have accumulated against me and the Dawson
family over the past five years, and I admit that I am the one who has failed to consider this matter."
"But no matter what, I am still your grandmother, and they are still your father and sister. You can hate
us, but that should be just between our own family. How can you conspire with some outsider against
us?"
Natalia listened to these words and suddenly laughed.
"Mrs. Dawson, when you first approached Dennis to discuss setting me up together, did you ever think
that we are a family?"
Clara did not reply.
"If you're trying to play nice with me so that I can persuade Archie McCarthy to let you guys go, I'm
sorry, I can't do it."
"You!"
Clara was so angry that her face turned red, gritting her teeth and snarling in a low voice, "This is also
your mother's property! Can you really bear to watch them being destroyed?"
Natalia's tone was suddenly cold. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"Since you also know that it belonged to my mother, you should return it to me as well! Otherwise, even
if I would just have to die, I would definitely let you all die with me!"
After saying that, the phone was violently cut off.
Clara covered her chest, so angry that she was breathing heavily and her face whitened.
Seeing this, Jessica hurriedly went forward and held her up, exclaiming, "Grandma, are you okay?"
Aleena also rushed forward, joined her daughter to help Clara to sit on the sofa, and served her the
medicine.
Only then did Clara's face look a little better.
She fiercely hit her crane on the ground, looking terribly bad, "This damn kid!"
Philip had just heard their conversation, and he asked worriedly , "Mom, what should we do now?"
Clara shook her head, her face full of fatigue.
"Don't ask me, I don't know now, let's just wait and see what happens!"
...
On the other side, after Natalia hung up the phone, she was in a great mood.
She counted the time and thought Archie should be home any moment now. She went downstairs.
It was already six in the evening now, and as soon as she went downstairs, she really saw a black
Rolls Royce stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.
Brian opened the door for him, and the man stepped out of the car against the remaining dim light of
the setting sun, with a thin layer of golden glow lingering on her shoulders, as if she saw some god
from the paintings.
Archie held a jacket in his arm, and when he saw his wife standing at the door, wearing home clothes,
his mouth slowly split into a smile.
"Waiting for me?"
He walked over and reached out and rubbed her head gently.
Natalia stiffened slightly, somewhat unused to his intimate and doting way of getting along.
So she slightly shied back a bit before saying, "I came out to see the sunset."
The smile on his face grew even wider.
He knew she was just lying, since she could have a better view on the second floor, but he did not
expose her.
He just smiled and rubbed her hair again and he bent down to change his shoes.
After changing to his slippers, he took her hand and walked inside.
The kitchen has long been prepared for dinner, because it was Natalia's first meal in the McCarthy
Mansion, so it was prepared in an extraordinarily extravagant manner.
