“Sister, she’s Ms. Ward. How could she be that kind of person? It’s just so hard to believe.”
“You never know what someone is truly like. For now, just stay with Mom and watch over Martin Doyle. Whatever you do, don’t give Marie any opportunities.”
“I understand, sister. I’ll watch Dad carefully.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Fiona. I have to go, I’ve got something to take care of. I’ve already spoken with the doctors here.”
“Okay, you go handle your business.”
Kate Verdan forced a smile, but her face was already as pale as a sheet.
Natalie smiled and turned away. The moment she did, her eyes turned as cold as a freezer. The profound pain in her heart was frozen over by that chill, and no one could see her sorrow.
No one knew how much her heart was aching.

The Ward Residence.
“Richard, they’re despicable! Going through all that trouble to set up such an elaborate trap, all to try and make Natalie replace our daughter. How dare they even think of such a thing?”
“As they say, fortune favors the bold. Only they could come up with such a dirty trick.”
Elaine Ward was furious, mostly because they had almost wavered again, nearly falling for the Lockwood family's trap.
Marie quickly poured Elaine a cup of tea. “Mom, calm down. Don’t let them get to you. Trust me, I will make the Ward Group bigger and stronger than ever. When that time comes, I’ll get justice for my brother.”
“That’s right. We can’t touch the Lockwood family now, but that might not be the case in the future. They can protect Natalie for a while, but I doubt they can protect her forever.”
