Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 205

Patrick had been so focused on his ideals and ambitions, assuming they were the same kind of people and would naturally end up together. He realized now how naive he had been.

He regretted never telling Natalie he loved her.

Lucas and Liana were eavesdropping nearby.

Oh no, who was this guy? Could he be the one that got away from Natalie’s school days? The way he looked at her was anything but innocent.

Liana frowned, worried. What if Natalie decided she didn’t want them anymore?

“Thank you, Patrick.” Natalie’s voice carried a faint, reserved air, a form of self-protection developed after being hurt.

“When did you find out she stole your championship?” Patrick asked.

His question brought a shadow to Natalie’s eyes. When the competition results were announced and her name wasn’t at the top, they had all been devastated. At the time, because of the trouble her father, Martin Doyle, had caused, the professors at the Helios Institute for Advanced Minds were already deliberating whether to ask her to leave. If she had won that championship, more of them would have supported her staying.

But she didn’t win. The champion was someone named Marie, who became famous overnight, hailed as Eldoria City’s once-in-a-century math genius.

Natalie had initially thought she simply wasn’t good enough, but then they discovered her name wasn’t on the list of winners at all. It was one thing to not get first place, but with her skills, it was impossible for her not to place at all.

That’s when she realized something was wrong with the competition. She suspected her results had been tampered with and tried to investigate, unwilling to accept it.

But then Martin Doyle told her he had massive gambling debts. He had taken a large sum of money from someone and ordered her to drop the investigation and not make a scene, threatening to beat her mother to death if she didn't comply.
