Chapter 488 Hard to Guard against Hidden Arrows


    It wasn''t that he didn''t know that she was indifferent to the Lafayette family, or that she was a very


    ambitious person.


    However, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart no matter how she was rejected before.


    But today, all these hopes were shattered.

    He sighed softly.


    "I admit that you''re right. I used to be exhausted in internal strife and didn''t try my best to look for you.


    There were even several times when I heard about you, but for some other reasons, I couldn''t find you


    when I was done with my work."


    "So at the beginning, I felt guilty about you. Butter, when I saw that The McCarthy family raised you


    well, I was relieved."


    "As for taking over Violet Group, I''ll tell you clearly! I did have the intention to take that position, but


    Natalia, you have to understand, as a man, who doesn''t want to take that position?"


    "Your father is drunk in love with. He doesn''t like to take care of these things at all, and he doesn''t want


    to be entangled in the affairs of power."


    "However, he is the eldest son of The Lafayette Family. He is destined to be the son of The Lafayette


    Family, so he should inherit it. However, I only have a bit of ambition and have paid so much for The


    Lafayette Family over the years. In the end, if I want to get something, I will be criticized for being


    unreasonable."


    Natalia sneered and said, "So, you want me to go back and help me be a puppet? Then, if you


    control it yourself, the whole The Lafayette Family will still be yours."


    A trace of depression shed across Pierre Lafayette''s face.


    "If you insist on thinking this way, I have nothing to say."


    Natalia said in a low voice, "It''s been hard for you to keep this rule in this era."


    Pierre Lafayette smiled bitterly.


    "To be honest, I also think that this rule is ridiculous. However, as a family that has been passed down


    for nearly 300 years, some old habits can''t be changed in a day and a night, and countless benefits are


    involved. Even I am afraid of it."


    Natalia frowned.


    "As you said, in this way, it''s even more impossible for me to let Oliver follow you and take the risk."


    Pierre Lafayette smiled and said, "I know you won''t agree. You''re just here to take a walk."


    He paused and said, "Now I''m not the only one who knows about your existence. Even if I don''te


    to you, someone else wille to you."


    "What else can they do to me?"


    "I can''t do it openly, but is it in the dark? Although The McCarthy family is in the middle of the day and


    Archie McCarthy is about to rise, after all, there are no hundred-day-old flowers. Besides, The


    McCarthy family used to be very powerful. How can an innocent businessmanpete with the dark


    forces? Natalia, if you don''t think for yourself, don''t you think for him?"


    Natalia''s eyes suddenly became sharp and he looked at him coldly.


    "What do you mean?"


    "I won''t do anything to him. Even if it''s not for the sake of The McCarthy family, I have to do it for the


    sake of my nephew''s son-inw. I''m only worried about others."


    "The rest of the Lafayette family?"


    "Thanks."


    "Ha! How dare they!"


    "Don''t underestimate The Lafayette Family. Although we seem to have declined, a fallen noble left


    behind by the previous dynasty is just a transfer of power. There are some things that not only you


    don''t know, but even you can''t imagine. Especially in terms of connections, theplexity of a family


    that has developed for 300 years is far beyond The McCarthy family."


    Natalia fell silent.


    One had to say, although Pierre Lafayette''s words weren''t very pleasant to listen to, when one thought


    about it carefully, they were indeed the truth.


    What''s more, it was easy to dodge the open spear, but hard to defend against the hidden arrows.


    She said coldly, "Are they so afraid that I will go out and steal their positions one day?"


    Pierre Lafayette sighed.


    "The interior of The Lafayette Family is much more old and rotten than you think. Many of the previous


    merits are still there. It can''t be changed in a short time."


    He suddenly gave a wry smile and said, "Just like until now, choosing the family head is still the same


    as choosing the emperor. You have to follow the tradition of the ancestors."


    Natalia sneered and said, "So, it''s not my turn to be a female. Your ancestors have always looked


    down on women, haven''t they?"


    Pierre Lafayette shook his head helplessly. "I''ve learned the western style. While I want to keep the old


    rules, I have to learn westernws and equality between men and women. Women can finally seed


    in the election. We just want to be the patriarch. What''s the problem?"


    Natalia didn''t know whether tough or cry.


    What kind of strange family was this?


    The reason why The Lafayette Family was able to survive until now was really...


    It had to be said that the foundation left by their ancestors was good. The more brainless their


    descendants were, the more generations they would spend.


    "Well, I know what you said. Let me think about it again!"


    Pierre Lafayette was a little surprised that she did not refuse directly.


    However, at this time, he also understood that it was best to stop as soon as possible. He could not


    force her too much.


    Pierre Lafayette sat for a while longer before Natalia learned about the matters of Violet Group. After


    lunch, he went to visit an old friend in the afternoon before leaving.


    In the afternoon, the feast waspletely over. As soon as they got home, Natalia asked the servants


    to call Archie McCarthy in.


    Archie McCarthy, who was the first person to get married and have children, naturally had to drink.


    After returning home, he was afraid that the smell of alcohol would hit her, so she took a shower and


    went into the bedroom.


    "What''s wrong? Are you unhappy?"


    Seeing her sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, he walked over and sat down beside her to pick her


    up.


    Since the delivery, Natalia had be much more round and chubby. Her originally thin little face was


    now round and full, and her face was full of sticity. She looked so cute.


    From Archie McCarthy''s point of view, it was a good-looking moment and it felt good, so he liked to


    hold her in his arms and y with her little meat.


    However, Natalia was extremely frustrated and always felt that she was too fat.


    In fact, she was only about 45 kilograms. Now that she had given birth to a child, she was only over 50


    kilograms. She was not fat at all.


    The soft flesh on her finger was yed by him. She pushed his shoulder with some resistance. "Don''t


    hold it. It''s heavy. Put me down."


    The man chuckled.


    "It''s not heavy. It''s soft andfortable."


    After that, she kissed her face.


    Natalia blushed immediately.


    She patted his hand. "Stop fooling around. The child is still here!"


    Archie McCarthy raised his eyebrows with an obvious evil smile on his face. "What did I do? What are


    you thinking? I just hugged you. Don''t tell me you want to..."


    Natalia blushed even more and turned to re at him.


    Archie McCarthy knew very well that he should stop, but he couldn''t hide the smile on his face.


    Natalia had no choice but to say unhappily, "You can bully me! You only know how to bully me."
