Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 178

She had accepted her through gritted teeth.

Since her daughter-in-law hadn't met her standards, her granddaughter-in-law absolutely had to.

She had to be a socialite from a prominent, well-matched family. On this point, she would not compromise.

"My granddaughter-in-law must come from a family of equal standing! Otherwise, it's out of the question!"

Lucas and Liana got excited and were about to speak, but Mrs. Lockwood stopped them.

Mrs. Lockwood smiled. "Mom, when Terence's father chose me, you didn't approve. I know you prefer ladies from high society. Since your daughter-in-law didn't meet your standards, it makes sense that your granddaughter-in-law must. Don't worry, if you don't agree, those two can't be together. After all, you're the backbone of this family."

Mrs. Lockwood was deliberately flattering the old matriarch. She couldn't afford to have her upset. Besides, it seemed Natalie wasn't ready to marry her son yet anyway. This was a strategic retreat.

Natalie, standing to the side, let out a sigh of relief. That had been a close call. She had to sell herself just for entering a library.

At that moment, the old matriarch looked at Mrs. Lockwood and said, "That's the most sensible thing you've said all day."

"Mom, I'm glad you like hearing it. I'm always afraid my clumsy words won't make you happy."

"So you weren't being sincere just now, you were just trying to please me."

Mrs. Lockwood gave a dry laugh. Why was this old lady so difficult?

"Mom, let's not get bogged down in the details. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. The old matriarch, who had been so aggressive just moments ago, looked at Mrs. Lockwood's beaming expression and found her anger dissipating.

"Natalie, go pack up your things. You are forbidden from entering the Ravenfell Wing again."

Mrs. Lockwood wanted to plead on her behalf, but she heard Natalie say, "Yes, ma'am. Don't worry, I'll go pack right away. I won't go in there again."
