The reporters chimed in, "That's right! Even if the Lockwood Group is rich and powerful, treating a child like this is outrageous."
"Mr. Cross, it's our duty as journalists to report the facts. Even if we face threats from the Lockwood family, we will speak up for the child."
The sudden appearance of the video had indeed caught Natalie off guard.
But it also made Natalie see just how malicious the Cross family truly was.
Natalie said, "This video was orchestrated by the Cross family. The reason they're framing Terence and putting the Lockwood Group in this position is to threaten him into letting Marie go."
"They think Terence framed Marie. They're framing Terence to save her. You can't let yourselves be used as their weapons."
Victoria shot back, "It's one thing not to believe your own son, but now there's a video and you still don't believe it."
"Do you really think that by speaking up for Terence and the Lockwood family, they'll let you marry into their family?"
"Let me tell you, Terence is just toying with you. No one, especially not a prestigious family like the Lockwoods, would accept a divorcée with a child. Stop dreaming."
Victoria quickly tried to muddy the waters, knowing people tend to hear what they want to hear.
The reporters were filled with righteous indignation.
"Natalie, even if you want to marry into the Lockwood family, you should think about your own child! Doesn't it break your heart to see him so hurt? Are you really that desperate to marry into a wealthy family?"
"Victoria's right. Even if you defend Terence and the Lockwood family now, they'll never let you in. You'll end up getting kicked to the curb, and you'll have broken your son's heart. He'll never forgive you when he grows up."
