Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 125

“She said she would get you into… the Project IronMind Junior Division?”

Old Mrs. Lockwood laughed, harder than she had in years.

“Who does this woman think she is? Getting you into a genius academy, making Terence walk again, and helping Liana speak. Those are all the Lockwood family’s greatest wishes. And she claims she can grant them all by herself? What audacity.

What did you say her name was?”

Mrs. Lockwood replied, “Her name is Natalie.”

Old Mrs. Lockwood chuckled. “No, that name won’t do. It has the ring of a second marriage. Let’s give her a new one. How about… Wishing Well? And let’s change her last name too. To Grant.

Wish Pond? With the last name Grant?

Wasn’t that just a wishing well?

Mrs. Lockwood said, “Mother, why would you name someone Wishing Well?”

“All three of those things are this family’s dearest wishes. Isn’t she presenting herself as a human wishing well? If she really pulls it off, I’ll build a shrine to her.”

Lucas stubbornly insisted, “Great-Grandma, Natalie doesn’t lie. We all believe her.”

The old matriarch’s smile suddenly vanished. She studied Lucas intently. “Lucas, do you have any idea what they do at the Project IronMind Junior Division? It’s not skiing, horseback riding, or extreme sports. It’s scientific research. And research means studying, doing math problems—all the things you despise. Are you telling me you want to join the junior division now?”

Lucas was defiant and had always hated school.

As an heir to the Lockwood family, his education had started from a young age. At his age, Terence had already been fluent in five languages and had over a dozen tutors.

Lucas, on the other hand, had driven away more than ten tutors.

Lucas looked a little embarrassed, but was his great-grandmother complimenting Natalie? If so, he didn't mind being called a slacker.

Liana was a bit confused. Her great-grandmother was a very serious person, not like her grandmother at all. She never knew her great-grandmother was someone who laughed so much. It was different from the great-grandmother she remembered.

[Great-Grandma is so happy. Does that mean she likes Natalie now, just like we do?]

Old Mrs. Lockwood stroked Liana's hair. This doll-like great-granddaughter of hers was so beautiful, yet she couldn't speak. It was a constant source of pain for her.

If Natalie could truly help her great-granddaughter speak, she would give her anything she wanted.

Old Mrs. Lockwood said, “This woman certainly knows how to tell people what they want to hear. She knows exactly what we desire. I’m curious to see what she’s really capable of.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Lockwood quickly jumped in. “Mother, you said it yourself. You want to see what she’s capable of. So don’t go kicking her out before you’ve given her a chance.”
