Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 208

Darren knew about Natalie’s background—her gambling-addicted father, her parasitic family. If she had won that award, her life could have taken a completely different path. She could have changed her entire future.

His mind was suddenly filled with an image of Natalie, heartbroken over losing the championship.

“Darren, you and Natalie are divorced. Why are you still so obsessed with her?” Marie demanded.

Darren seemed not to hear her. “Marie, you shouldn’t have stolen from her.”

“How did I steal from her?” Marie retorted. “She’s the one who stole what was mine! She stole you from my side!”

“Marie, just because I don’t say certain things doesn’t mean I don’t know them. The moment you chose to marry my brother, you became my sister-in-law. How can you still say things like that?”

Marie was speechless, a strong sense of crisis washing over her. Why was Darren treating her this way?

“I was never yours to begin with,” Darren said. “I hope that honor truly belongs to you. But if you did steal what belonged to Natalie, I won’t let this go. At the very least, you must apologize to her publicly.”

“Darren, what are you saying? You want me to apologize to her?”

Marie was hysterical. Hanley ran over. “Daddy, how could you talk to Auntie like that? You used to teach me to respect her. You even told Mommy she had to respect her. Why are you being so mean to her now and telling her to apologize to Mommy?”

Darren’s words felt like the sky was falling for Marie. What did that mean? Was he trying to draw a clear line between them? But how could the line between them ever be drawn so easily?

“Darren, how do you know Natalie didn’t use some underhanded trick, just like she did when she climbed into your bed?”

“That’s enough, Marie! I once said that as long as you didn’t remarry, you would always be my sister-in-law. But if you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for what happens next.”

Darren was furious. Marie’s eyes grew colder. His concern for Natalie was growing. She absolutely could not let Natalie succeed in the finals. No matter what it took, she would ruin her chances and make her a laughingstock for thousands.
