Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 220

“Mother, I just wanted to celebrate with her. I didn’t expect to run into some thugs.”

“It’s one thing for you to act wild, but look at her. Does she look like the type who enjoys that sort of thing?”

Mrs. Lockwood nodded, but then she felt like something was off. The old lady was scolding her, yes, but was she… complimenting Natalie?

Mrs. Lockwood looked at her mother-in-law suspiciously. Wasn’t she here to make trouble?

Was she actually praising her?

Natalie spoke respectfully to Old Mrs. Lockwood. “Ma’am, I am deeply sorry for the trouble I’ve brought upon the Lockwood family. However, if I can win first place in the finals, it will prove that your family didn’t pull any strings for me, and the crisis at Lockwood Group will be resolved. Still, I must apologize for the trouble I’ve caused everyone.”

The matriarch listened, then turned to her daughter-in-law. “Listen to that. Just listen. Look at the two of you, a generation apart. Look how mature and steady she is, and then look at yourself. Did you two get your decades mixed up?”

Natalie was mature, composed, with a scholarly air. Mrs. Lockwood was willful, impulsive, a real firecracker.

Mrs. Lockwood felt awkward. So, was she here to rescue someone, or did she just walk right into a trap?

“Natalie, are you confident you can beat the contestant from Ravencia? If not, I can have him taken care of.”

Mrs. Lockwood was stunned. If the old lady made a move, wouldn’t that just confirm the rumors that the Lockwood family was helping her?

She wanted to help Natalie too, but hearing it from her mother-in-law just felt wrong somehow.

“Mother, weren’t you worried about Natalie affecting our family? Why are you now offering to deal with someone for her?”

“You need to know right from wrong on the big issues. Besides, there’s a deep-seated hatred between Aurelis and Ravencia. How dare they provoke us? Natalie, I’m telling you, you must win.”

So the old lady had called Natalie over just to personally instruct her that she had to beat the Ravencia contestant?

They were fiercely competitive, but they became incredibly united when facing Ravencia.
