Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 572

Darren's words stabbed into Natalie's heart like a knife.

She thought she was long past caring about him, so why did it still hurt?

Because they always knew exactly where to twist the knife for maximum pain.

"Darren, clear your head before you start spouting nonsense!"

She had never been jealous of Marie's background. It was Victoria and Marie who had constantly belittled and humiliated her for the difference in their statuses when she lived with the Cross family.

Darren saw the hurt in Natalie's eyes.

It was the same wounded look she used to have before their divorce, back when she was with his family.

But back then, he had always chosen to ignore it.

Perhaps he thought she would never leave, so it didn't matter.

This time, he still couldn't afford to be soft.

Darren's hands tightened into fists at his sides.

He looked at Natalie and said with finality, "Natalie, I told you more than once not to pit yourself against Marie.

"I never thought it would become such an indelible darkness in your heart. Is that why you're so desperate to knock her off her pedestal?"

Marie gave Hanley a look, and he immediately understood.

"Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and I all know you're jealous of Auntie. You're jealous that she was born into a good family, but you can't frame her like this. The Wards are her family. You can't take her home away from her. That's too mean!"

Natalie stared at Hanley. How could such cold words come from such a small child?

What was real?

Seeing them waver, Marie pressed on urgently. "Mom, Dad, are you really going to believe Natalie's claim that I tampered with the first test, instead of believing that this is all a trap she set for us?

"I'm the daughter you raised for over twenty years. Don't you believe me?"

Richard's brow was deeply furrowed, his hands clenched tightly.

Terence's eyes were icy. "Mr. Ward, you need to think this through. This isn't just about a fake heiress. The most important thing is not to let the person who harmed your son get away. You shouldn't keep a monster in human form by your side!"

Richard had been about to tear up the second DNA report, but Terence's words made him freeze.

He was completely lost.
