An adoptive father jumped to his death. If he wasn't greatly wronged, why would he take his own life?
Previously, the media reported that Martin Doyle spread indecent rumors about Natalie, forcing her to withdraw from the Helios Institute for Advanced Minds.
He beat and cursed at Natalie, and it was supposedly because Natalie wasn't his biological daughter.
The narrative was that Martin Doyle abused and exploited Natalie because she wasn't his biological daughter, which is why she changed her last name. Now that their lack of a biological relationship was confirmed, she could finally be free of him and start a new life.
But now, with Martin Doyle's suicide, all the reports sympathetic to Natalie were being discredited as a PR campaign by the Lockwood family.
Marie's eyes glinted with triumph. Natalie had come so close to successfully getting rid of that scumbag Martin Doyle.
Why should she be allowed to escape the mire? She belonged in the mud for the rest of her life.
Now, even if Martin Doyle died, Natalie would never be free of him.
His suicide would follow Natalie for the rest of her life, becoming a stain on her name, ensuring she could never hold her head high again. She would be an object of scorn forever.
Just then, a frantic Victoria was about to head out the door when Marie spotted her.
Marie's cold eyes stared at Victoria. "Mother, where are you going?" Victoria turned, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
Victoria's face was filled with panic. Martin Doyle had jumped from the building, but was it really suicide? She didn't think that shameless man would ever kill himself. Marie must have killed him. Although she hadn't seen Marie push him, she had seen Martin's body hit the ground, a bloody mess.
The image kept her from sleeping, flashing in her mind whenever she closed her eyes. If Martin Doyle weren't still hanging on by a thread in the hospital, she'd be afraid his ghost would come to haunt her.
She never imagined Marie could be so ruthless!
Marie watched Victoria's pale face and said coldly, "Mother, why are you so flustered? Do you think I'm the one who killed Martin Doyle? That I'm a murderer? Is that why you're afraid of me and want to move out?"
With her thoughts exposed by Marie, Victoria was so terrified she forgot to breathe.
