Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 340

The family patriarch spoke with authority. "We wouldn't dare step foot in a grand Cross family mansion like this. We're simply here for an explanation. Why did you dare to insult Susan and Linda? Do you have no respect for the elders of the Cross family?"

Victoria quickly pulled Marie over. "Hurry up and apologize to the patriarch. You were just in a bad mood that day and spoke recklessly. Apologize to him now."

Marie looked at the crowd before her. They were a large group, clearly a bunch of barbarians from the countryside. Why should she, Ms. Ward, apologize to them? It was ridiculous!

Especially with Natalie here. She couldn't lose face in front of Natalie!

Marie said defiantly, "They were the ones who went too far that day. I am Ms. Ward. I have never been so insulted. Why should I back down when someone is rude to me?"

Victoria was about to die of anger. She pulled Marie aside. "For heaven's sake, these are all our relatives from the Cross Group's extended family. You can't afford to offend them all. Otherwise, you'll be disowned by the family, even in death, you know that?"

"Why would I want to be recognized by their family? It's just some backwater town!"

Victoria was so furious she almost slapped Marie, but she restrained herself. After all, she didn't want to make a bigger scene.

"Marie, I'm begging you, just do it for my sake. For your and Darren's wedding to proceed smoothly, just say a few nice words to get through this. These relatives from the countryside may be poor, but we can't offend all our family elders. Do you want to be disowned by the family?"

"So what if we're disowned? It's not a big deal."

Victoria nearly fainted from rage. No matter how wealthy someone was, they had to respect their family and maintain their standing. Otherwise, no amount of money earned in this life could save them from being despised by others.

Victoria said anxiously, "My dear, just apologize quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even be able to have your wedding."
