Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 597

“Well, well, Mr. Lockwood, you’re here! Did you just refer to my daughter as your wife? My daughter is so fortunate! I never thought that after a divorce and a child, she could marry into the Lockwood family, which is even richer than the Cross family. This is wonderful! I thought you’d just keep her as a mistress, but you’re actually giving her a proper title. That makes me your father-in-law. We need to have a serious talk about the dowry.”

Natalie shot back, “Martin Doyle, you want a dowry? Terence and I have no such arrangement. Get that idea out of your head!”

Martin Doyle retorted, “How can you say that? I gave you life and raised you. Terence called you his wife; he can’t just have you for free. If he’s truly serious about you, he’ll pay a dowry.”

Marie found this delightful. The more greedy and shameful Martin was, the more disgrace fell upon Natalie.

After all, Martin Doyle was her father, a connection she could never escape.

Marie said with a sneer, “Natalie, you just don’t understand. When it comes to marriage, of course the groom’s family provides a dowry. The one the Cross family gave me was quite generous. Back then, my mother-in-law looked down on you and gave you nothing; you just moved in with a baby in your belly. You didn’t have experience then, but this time you must make sure to get a proper dowry from the Lockwood family for your parents.”

Victoria added contemptuously, “A shameless woman who got pregnant to trap my son? Why would my family give her a dowry to enter our home?”

Natalie stared at Victoria and Marie, her eyes terrifyingly cold.

They never seemed to tire of their little song and dance to belittle her.

Terence’s voice was icy. “Marie, the dowry the Cross family gave you was indeed generous. After all, they paid it twice. Even a small amount adds up when it’s doubled!”

Marie had wanted to show off the different treatment she and Natalie received from the Cross family, but Terence’s single sentence turned her into a clown.
