President’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 144 Considerate

Faye finally returned to her senses. In a hurry, she echoed, “Exactly. That’s right. I came here for

sightseeing.”

Ariana cast a doubtful glance at her. “For real? Why do I feel you are lying?”

Faye kept silent.

After all, Ariana was Faye’s mother, so she knew Faye’s character. As soon as seeing Faye’s reaction,

Ariana knew that she was lying.

With a sneer, Ariana said, “Faye, you went to bother Archie’s wife, didn’t you?”

Faye was startled. Subconsciously, she wanted to deny it.

However, Ariana suddenly interrupted her, “All right. It’s OK if you don’t want to tell me the truth. I’ve

met Archie’s wife. She’s a good girl. I like her a lot. You can’t meddle in between them or make any

trouble to them. Understand?”

Upon hearing it, Faye became angry.

“Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean by making trouble? Do you know what kind of

person that woman is?”

“Of course I know!”

In Adriana’s opinion, Natalia was a kind-hearted girl.

She wasn’t only a caring person but she also respected the elderly. Adriana had been observing her for

the past few days.

“Mom, since you know it, why would you agree to her to be with Archie? Do you know what others say Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

about her? If we allow this kind of woman to marry into the McCarthy family, it’ll be our shame!”

“Enough!”

Adriana suddenly became angry. “Those are just rumors! I don’t care what others say. I only believe

what I’ve seen in person. You must go back to Eqitin with me right now! You can’t stay here making

trouble any longer. If you’re not willing to go back, you’d better not come here anymore in the future!”

“Mom...”

“Anne, let’s go.”

After finishing her words, Ariana took Anne away in anger.

Looking at their receding figures, Faye was so angry that she almost puked blood.

“Selena, do you think my mother was bewitched by that woman? How could she trust that woman so

much?”

Selena slightly looked down, secretly clenching her fingers. After a moment, she smiled.

“Mrs. McCarthy is always kind, so everyone looks kind-hearted to her. That’s normal. Auntie, please

calm down.”

Faye rubbed her forehead, feeling a migraine.

“All right. All right. You don’t need to comfort me. I know in my mother’s eyes, just anyone can be more

important than me. Such a young girl! She hasn’t married into our family yet and she can delight my

mother and make my mother trust her so much. That’s so ridiculous!”

Selena asked tenderly, “What should we do now?”

Faye cast her a glance.

“What else can we do? My mother has given me the order. Of course, we should go back to Eqitin.

Otherwise, I might not be able to enter the door of the McCarthy house anymore.”

Faye then took Selena back to Eqitin.

On the other side, something happened to the Dawson family again.

This time, it happened at midnight.

Right after Jessica had fallen asleep, she suddenly heard a woman weeping outside the window.

The cry, or more precisely, the whimpering, sounded like the cry of some small animal in the dark.

Instantly, Jessica woke up in fear. She widened her eyes, looking in the direction where the window

was in the dark. All her nerves were tensed.

The curtain moved, seemingly something lifted a corner of it. It was flying in the mid-air, looking like the

outline of a woman.

The outline flew towards her gradually just like a black sharp paw, which was going to strangle her.

“Ah—!” letting out a horrified scream, Jessica lifted her quilt and trotted outside of her room.

Jessica’s bedroom was on the second floor, next to the bedroom of Aleena and Philip. Upon hearing

her scream, they immediately put on clothes and trotted out to ask, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

They only found that Jessica was wearing only her thin pajamas, her hair messy. With a frightened

look, she glared at the corner of her room, trembling all over in fear.

“She’s here! She’s here!”

“Who?”

Everyone else was confused. The servants who trotted over after hearing the exclaim also looked

puzzled when they saw the scene.

“What happened to Miss Jessica?”

“Who’s here?”

Jessica looked extremely pale. Suddenly, she grabbed Aleena’s wrist and said with widened eyes and

in a trembling tone, “Mom, she came back! She came back to kill me!”

As soon as Aleena heard it, her expression changed dramatically.

Philip snapped, “What bullshit are you talking about? It’s midnight. Who came back?”

Aleena cast him a sharp glance. All the servants around them looked blankly. Philip suddenly realized

something, and his expression also slightly changed.

Right then, they heard a strict and old voice behind them.

“It’s so late at night. What are you arguing about here?”

With someone’s help, Clara walked over. Seeing her, Philip said, “It’s Jessica. There was something

abnormal in her room. She ran out in fear just now.”

When seeing Clara, Jessie looked as if a drowning woman had seen a piece of driftwood to save her

life. Immediately, she trotted to Clara.

“Grandma, help me! She’s here. She came to kill me!”

With a darkened face, Clara looked around sharply. She snapped in a cold tone, “Who came to kill

you? A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. Let me see who dares to play tricks in my presence today!”

After finishing her words, she led a group of people into Jessica’s room.

The delicately and luxuriously decorated bedroom looked the same as usual. When the light was on,

except that the bed was a bit messy that showed Jessica was lying on it earlier, everything looked

normal.

“Jessica, where is the woman you mentioned?”

“Near the window!”

Jessica gripped Clara’s arm, trembling all over while pointing at the window.

“Over there! I heard her crying. She also reached out to strangle me. I’ve seen her.”

Clara frowned.

Beside them, Aleena said to two servants, “You two, go take a look.”

“Yes, Mrs. Dawson.”

The servants walked over, pulled the curtain, and checked everywhere carefully, including the balcony

outside.

“We’ve checked everywhere. There’s no one around.”

Clara turned to look at Jessica.

The latter was standing there in a daze. She couldn’t believe it at all.

“Impossible. I heard her voice, and I also saw her reaching out her hands to me...”

“Is it because you are too tired so you had an illusion?”

Clara loved this granddaughter a lot and she was even more so recently, since Natalia set her up and

made her hide at home to avoid the scandal. Jessica must feel quite stressed about that.

Hence, although Clara was woken up by her at midnight, she didn’t become angry.

Jessica shook her head. “But... but I truly have seen her.”

Aleena looked over at the window. Frowning for a moment, she asked the servant to turn off the light.

“Mom, why did you ask them to turn off the light?”

“Jessica, look! Are those the hands you’ve seen?”

Aleena hinted at her to look over at the window. The next second, Jessica started screaming.
