Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 588

“I was always the moon in the sky, and Natalie was nothing but filth on the ground. Now, I don’t just want her to look up to me; I want her to understand just how low her status is. I want her to have a much clearer picture of her wretched origins and the chasm between us!”

Listening to her, Victoria got the feeling that Marie wasn't just talking.

It sounded like she had a plan.

“Marie, what do you mean? Is something about to happen?”

“Do you want to know?” Marie asked.

So there was a plan.

“Of course I do,” Victoria replied.

Marie smiled. “If you want to know, then let’s go watch together. We’ll see just how disgraced the Cross family’s former daughter-in-law can be. I refuse to believe that once this blows up, once everyone knows about Natalie’s sordid background and her shameful father, that the Lockwood family will be shameless enough to let her marry into their family!”

Victoria didn't know the details, but seeing how triumphant Marie looked, she knew something good was about to happen.

“Let’s go. We can watch the show together.”

At the institute.

As soon as Natalie walked in, she overheard two interns talking.

“Did you hear? Marie Ward is about to take over as CEO of the Ward Group, and the family is throwing a huge celebration banquet for her.”

“I saw that too. I heard they’ve invited everyone from high society, and even A-list celebrities will be there. It’s all over the news today. A princess receiving her crown to become a queen. The Ward family is really going all out.”

“After Marcus Ward passed away, Marie is the only one left. I heard that at the banquet, they’ll not only announce her as CEO but also that all of the Ward family’s assets will be transferred to her name. She’s going to be one of the top five wealthiest women in Aurelis.”

“I know you think hearing about Marie would upset me,” Natalie said. “But it’s not for the reason you think. I can’t explain it now, but you’ll understand in the future.”

Patrick smiled warmly. “I know you’re not one to be held back by the past. You’ll always keep moving forward.”

“Yeah. Let’s go. We have a meeting to get to today.”

“Right.”

Just as Natalie and Patrick were about to enter the conference room, a security guard approached them. “Mr. Mercer, there’s someone outside looking for Natalie. He says he’s her father.”

Natalie’s brow furrowed. Her father?

How did Martin Doyle find her here?

Her heart clenched as unpleasant memories flooded back. Years ago, when she had finally gotten into the Helios Institute for Advanced Minds, Martin Doyle had shown up and caused a scene.
