Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 540

However, from her observations during this period, Natalie realized that Mr. and Mrs. Ward didn't seem to favor sons over daughters, so they wouldn't necessarily leave all their assets to Marcus Ward.

Especially since Marcus adored his sister, Marie. He gave her whatever she wanted and would never have tried to monopolize the entire Ward family fortune.

That's why Natalie had always been skeptical about the idea of Marie murdering Marcus for the family inheritance. She felt something was off but couldn't quite put her finger on it. But what if Marie wasn't Marcus Ward's sister?

If she wasn't his biological sister, it would make sense for her to be so ruthless. Natalie even suspected that Mr. and Mrs. Ward might not know that Marie wasn't their biological daughter.

Otherwise, after finding out Marie had murdered Marcus, any normal person would despise this non-biological child. Yet, they had lied to get her out of trouble. That could only be because they believed Marie was their biological daughter, and due to that blood tie, they would try to save her no matter what she did.

Natalie guessed that Marcus must have learned that Marie wasn't his parents' biological daughter. Perhaps Marcus had insisted on finding the Ward family's real daughter, and Marie felt her position was severely threatened.

Driven by her selfish desire to take the Ward Group's fortune for herself, she decided to go all the way and get rid of Marcus Ward.

“So, Marie was more ruthless in her attack on Marcus because he knew she wasn't his parents' biological daughter?” Terence asked.

“I think it’s very likely,” Natalie replied. “I now suspect there’s something wrong with Marie’s background.”

“I’ll look into it,” Terence said.

Natalie nodded. With Terence helping her investigate, things would be much simpler.

Just then, she noticed Terence was staring at her.

Did he have something else on his mind?

“Did I miss a key point? Or do you have a new idea?”

“So, when you said I wasn’t your husband earlier, it was only because you were thinking about Marcus Ward's case, not because you were afraid people would get the wrong idea?”

Natalie felt like his intense gaze was drilling holes in her.
