Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 234

Those who had once spoken ill of Natalie found themselves won over by her sheer force of will.

Though her face was pale and slick with sweat from the pain, her gaze was resilient and defiant.

She refused to admit defeat, refused to give up. The pen in her hand became a silver spear, ready for battle on the field.

Nicholas, Patrick, Lucas, and Liana all watched her with deep concern.

Darren stared at Natalie, who was bent over her paper. Sweat dripped from her forehead, drop by drop. He could see the immense pain she was enduring, yet her eyes were resolute, as if nothing in the world could distract her.

In that moment, he realized how profoundly he had underestimated the woman who had spent five years by his side. She was no useless housewife.

Just then, Hanley tugged on Darren's hand. “Daddy, is Mommy in a lot of pain?”

Hearing even Hanley express concern for Natalie, Marie nearly went mad with rage.

She said in a syrupy, malicious tone, “Hanley, whatever pain your mommy is in, it’s worth it. After all, this is all part of her little act. She’s just setting up an excuse for her failure.

“People are soft-hearted. Even if she comes in last place now, everyone will think she’s a winner just for participating. I’ve taught you so much, but nothing compares to the lesson your mommy is teaching you today. It’s called playing the victim.”

Hanley’s eyes widened in shock. “So… Mommy is doing this on purpose?”

Darren’s expression turned icy. “Your mother is not the kind of person who would resort to such tactics to achieve a goal. Is your brain just for decoration?”

Hanley looked confused. Marie pressed on, unwilling to back down. “Darren, you think you know her so well now? Then tell me, why get injured at this exact moment? If it’s not an act, what is it? She knows how much attention is on her. If she doesn’t place well, her cheating will be exposed. She’s sacrificing a limb to save herself.”

Darren’s eyes were cold. “I will find out why she was injured. And if I discover someone hurt her deliberately, I will not let them go.”

His chilling gaze finally silenced Marie.
