Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 587

Mrs. Lockwood suddenly realized that abandoning someone mid-conversation felt pretty good.

No wonder Natalie and Terence had both ditched her and run off earlier.

Edgar Lockwood was left fuming on the spot.

The Ward family.

Victoria was laying the flattery on thick with Marie.

“Marie, today’s headlines are all about you becoming the next CEO of the Ward Group. And the Ward family is throwing the most lavish celebration banquet for you. You truly are the princess of the family.”

Marie said proudly, “I am a Ward, and now I’m the sole heir. No amount of fanfare is too much for me.”

“Of course,” Victoria said. “You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Even if Natalie manages to get with Terence, it doesn’t change the fact that she comes from a lowly background. She’ll always have to look up to you. You two are worlds apart. She could never even touch your feet.”

Marie’s satisfaction grew as she listened to Victoria belittle Natalie. The old hag certainly knew what to say.

Seeing Marie’s pleased expression, Victoria quickly added, “Marie, Darren will attend the celebration banquet with you. But it wouldn’t look right for him to be by your side without a proper title, would it?”

Marie gave a cold smile. “I’ll announce that Darren is the new Vice President of the Ward Group.”

A greedy smile spread across Victoria’s face. “Marie, Terence and Natalie ruined the Cross family, and that was a huge blow to Darren. You’re so thoughtful. Making him Vice President of the Ward Group will help him move on from his grief. And with his abilities, he’ll surely help the company thrive.”

“I bet Natalie has seen the news by now, about you becoming the CEO and the huge banquet the family is throwing for you. She must be absolutely green with envy. After all, you were born a princess, a status she can never hope to achieve.”

Victoria knew exactly what Marie wanted to hear. As expected, the disdain on Marie’s face vanished, replaced by a profound sense of superiority.

Today, Marie had deliberately paid off all the media outlets to broadcast the news of her upcoming succession and to hype up the grandeur of the Ward family’s banquet.

Natalie must have seen it by now and must be seething with jealousy.

After all, that was a level of recognition she would never experience in her lifetime.

After seeing how Darren and Hanley treated her yesterday, Natalie should have understood the gap between them.
