Chapter 427 He Got What He Deserved
Natalia was upset.
She looked at her, and the thrill of revenge that should have been felt could not now rise up.
"And you ... Natalia!"
Suddenly, she reached out and pointed her hand at Natalia's nose and said hideously, "Do you think I
still care about you? You are just a pawn for me to get closer to him. Silly woman! But don't think too
highly of yourself. A woman like you is nothing without the McCarthy family! My father is gone, and I am
your prisoner! You don't allow any news to get out that tarnishes your name. You stand tall and enjoy
the adulation and admiration of everyone, but ... but what about me?! I have nothing left!"
She suddenly covered her face and cried out in pain.
Natalia looked at her, who was suddenly frantic and crying, and could not believe that she was the
sweet, loving little girl who had been by her side all those years.
She hadn't known about the hatred between Summer and the McCarthy family.
It was only after this incident and Brian's investigation that she had come to understand some of it.
This time she came to Othua with Archie, and by asking Summer for help, she was actively exposing
them to a dangerous situation.
Sometimes, she shuddered to think that if Summer had been more accurate with the knife that night ...
She really didn't dare to think about it.
Natalia was silent for a moment, and her hand was held by Archie the whole time. After a long time,
she sighed and said, "Summer, if Archie didn't want things to get out back then, why did he only
imprison you and keep such a big hidden problem around? You know what he's capable of. He could
have let you die quietly, so why would he have kept you in this world to threaten him?"
Summer did not say anything.
Seeing this, Brian stepped forward and picked Summer up, who was lying on the ground. She didn't
even struggle and just let him pick her up.
"Do you really want to know why your father died?" Natalia looked at her and said indifferently.
Summer didn't respond.
In fact, she should have known, and she pretty much knew it all from Ricky.
She just didn't want to believe it.
But Natalia had no intention of letting her go. Her tone was soft and slow but had the power to strike
straight to the heart.
"Your father got what he deserved. His death was merely the price he paid for his actions."
Summer shuddered hard!
She looked up at Natalia, and her gaze was a little fierce.
"I don't believe it. You're all the same as Ricky! You are all liars! I don't believe a word you've said! My
father didn't have to die back then. He-!"
"He was corrupt and took bribes and committed suicide."
The sudden sound of a deep male voice completely shattered her illusions.
Archie had never learned to show anyone any mercy in his life. He was so used to being arrogant that
he would not allow any sophistry.
Not to mention the woman in front of her was Summer.
His voice was cold, but the authority he had built up over his years in a position of power made one
believe that he was telling the truth.
Natalia looked at Summer and frowned imperceptibly.
The girl in front of her had lost her innocence and sweetness and had only hatred and use for them.
Although she knew that it was hard to lose her father, it did not mean that she could use her in any way
she wanted.
Summer was stunned for a long time before she fell to sit down.
Her voice was so soft that it seemed to drift from a great distance.novelbin
"So what ... Ricky said was true?"
She seemed to ask herself and then shook her head violently, "No, I don't believe it!"
In fact, she already believed most of what Ricky said, but she didn't dare to admit it.
She was afraid that the person she hated had never done anything to make her hate him, and that all
her schemes had actually been a joke that had prevented her and Ricky from ever being together
again, that she would never be able to make up with Natalia again.
She was ruled by her so-called hatred and kept in the dark, like a puppet on a string, when in fact
everything was just her own presumption.
And she and they could never go back.
Perhaps from the moment she had first made up her mind to avenge her father, she and they could
never really go back.
Seeing her lost in thought, Natalia didn't say anything else.
She and Archie looked at each other for a moment before asking Brian to take Summer down.
Brian naturally did as he was told.
For the next few days, Summer was placed in one of Archie's villas in Othua.
Archie had sent a few men to guard her. He expected her to resist, but she seemed to have resigned
herself to her fate and did not bother to leave the house.
She locked herself in the room all day and didn't eat much.
But after what happened when she hurt Archie, Natalia felt distant from her.
She thought it might be a good idea to leave her alone for a while, so she ignored it.
She had been living in the hospital during this time. On one hand, it was convenient to take care of the
baby at any time during the maternity check-up, and on the other hand, she was taking care of Archie.
Today, Archie had just fallen asleep. She didn't know if it was because she was pregnant or because
she was too tired from taking care of Archie, but she felt drowsy and wanted to go back to rest.
No sooner had she left the ward than her phone rang.
When she looked at the call alert, she found that it was from Victoria.
Since the Stevenson family knew that Archie had been assassinated and seriously injured, it was
unlikely that Charlie would not know about it.
Natalia and Victoria were best friends. When Charlie learned of this, there was no way he wouldn't tell
Victoria.
So, once Natalia picked up the phone, she heard Victoria asking her anxiously on the other end of the
line.
She couldn't help but smile, and her heart warmed as she said, "He's out of danger and he's in a stable
condition. There's nothing seriously wrong with him. You don't have to worry."
Victoria grunted softly.
"What am I worried about him for? It's you I'm worried about. How are you?"
"Me?" Natalia paused for a moment, then smiled and said softly, "Victoria, I have good news for you."
"What?"
"I'm pregnant."
Victoria was silent for several seconds.
Then, she squealed with excitement.
"Ahhh ... So I can be a godmother again?"
Natalia laughed, "Yeah, so remember to have a red packet ready. I won't be happy if the money is less
when the time comes."
Natalia had been thinking that Anne was still young and the two of them were so busy that they didn't
need to rush into having a baby yet.
But after Archie's injury, it dawned on her that sometimes there was no such thing as the right time.
If you wanted it at the moment, that was the best time.
So she looked down and stroked her belly, and the feeling of joy and sweetness in her heart grew
deeper and deeper.
"Victoria, I'll talk to you more about it when I get back after I am done over here."
"Okay, then you have to be safe over there too."
"Yeah."
Natalia was about to hang up when Victoria added, "By the way, Charlie went back yesterday and
should be in Othua today. So if there's anything you can't get help with from the Stevenson family or
Mrs. Stevenson, you can go straight to Charlie."
