Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 172

Victoria didn't just want to call the police for her grandson's sake; she was doing it for herself, too.

Her health was clearly declining day by day, and Natalie refused to treat her anymore.

If she had Natalie arrested, then when the police tried to mediate, Natalie would be desperate and would have no choice but to treat her, right?

Victoria picked up her phone and started dialing, but the device was suddenly knocked out of her hand.

"Darren, what do you think you're doing?"

Victoria was furious. She never expected Darren to smack the phone from her grasp.

The sound of the phone hitting the floor startled Hanley and Marie.

Marie glared at Darren. Was he really that concerned about Natalie?

Darren said coldly, "You want to call the police before we even know the full story? Do you think people haven't laughed at us enough already?"

Between the press conference incident and Hanley slandering Natalie in the media, the Cross family had become the talk of Aurelis.

Victoria didn't dare say another word. Darren suddenly grabbed Hanley and pulled him closer. "Hanley, you tell me the truth right now. What did you do?"

Hanley's eyes darted around. "I... I didn't do anything."

When he saw the stern look in his father's eyes intensify, he suddenly burst out, "I just said Liana was a mute! She is a mute, so what did I say that was wrong? My old mommy deliberately stabbed me to make me a mute just for Liana's sake. In her heart, Liana is more important than me. I don't want a mother like her!"

Marie stepped forward and hugged Hanley. "Darren, did you hear that? Natalie would hurt her own child like this for someone else's. She's just trying to curry favor with Terence! She's using her own son to get on those two kids' good side so she can worm her way into the Lockwood family!"

"Natalie isn't that kind of person."

"She is Hanley's mother!"

"You're divorced! Are you telling me you don't plan on being with me?"

"I've told you before, you are my sister-in-law. You will always just be Marie. If you don't want to remarry, Natalie and I will respect you for the rest of our lives."

Darren's tone was frigid. He had never been this cold to her before.

What did he mean by that?

She had done so much. She couldn't end up with nothing.

Marie's voice trembled. "But you know I don't want to be just your sister-in-law. You and Natalie are divorced now. Everyone can accept us being together, so why are you rejecting me?"
