Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 219

Terence and the two kids were furious. Were they just going to let that guy off?

Natalie said, “If I can beat him in the finals, he’ll have nothing left to say.”

Lucas pouted. “But it’s so frustrating that someone would dare to bully Natalie like this.”

“I never let other people’s doubts get to me.”

Terence remained silent, seemingly not ready to drop the matter of dealing with the man.

“Terence,” Natalie said, “thank you for the materials you gave me. They were really helpful.”

Natalie had been able to get up to speed so quickly thanks to the excellent notes Terence had compiled for her.

A titan of the business world, Terence had also been a brilliant student in his day.

Because of Natalie’s close relationship with Terence and her victory in the preliminaries, someone started a rumor that she had only won because of Terence’s influence. Compounded by the taunts from the other country’s contestant, the rumors caused Lockwood Group’s stock to fluctuate.

“Ms. Verdan, the matriarch would like to see you.”

At that moment, everyone else happened to be out, leaving only Natalie at the estate.

“Why does she want to see her? Oh well, she just finished making those herbal aromatherapy bracelets. She made an extra one for the matriarch, so this is a good time to give it to her.”

The butler said, “Should I call the young master?”

The matriarch must be furious about the company’s stock being affected. Calling Ms. Verdan over couldn’t be for anything good.

“No, that’s alright.”

The butler’s heart tightened. He decided he had to call Mrs. Lockwood right away.

Just then, Mrs. Lockwood rushed in.

Why was the old woman making things difficult again?

She hurried forward. “Mother, you have no idea how hard it is to find someone who works so efficiently. Natalie’s mother is incredibly meticulous. If she weren’t so new, I’d have sent her to your villa. You’d be very satisfied.”

“What’s the meaning of you rushing over here? Are you afraid I’ll give her a hard time?!”

Mrs. Lockwood had just stepped out when she got the news that the old lady had summoned Natalie. With the Lockwood Group’s stock falling, she figured the matriarch was going to cause trouble, so she rushed back immediately.

“Mother, you’re the most generous person I know. Why would you give Natalie a hard time over a small dip in the stock? Besides, the Lockwood family is a giant. A little dip like this is nothing.”

“Did you take her to a bar? And cause a scene? I wasn’t even looking for you, and you walked right into my hands.”

Mrs. Lockwood froze, embarrassed. She knew she’d caused a stir and had been planning to lie low for a few days to avoid the matriarch’s wrath. But today, for Natalie’s sake, she had delivered herself right to the lion’s den.
