Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 627

“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.”

Marie felt even more smug hearing this.

Elaine then turned to Richard. “Honey, we must send an invitation to the Lockwood family. It would be best if they came in person to see how radiant our Marie is. We’ll make them furious and crush any hope Natalie has.”

“Alright. I’ll have someone deliver the invitation to the Lockwood family personally.”

Elaine was even more delighted.

“My dear daughter, let Mommy take you to try on the gown. You’ll be the most beautiful one at the banquet. You’ll absolutely outshine everyone.”

Elaine happily pulled Marie along to the fitting, already imagining how stunning and radiant her daughter would look in the million-dollar couture gown.

At that moment, Marie was bursting with pride.
