Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 26

He refused to divorce her. Was it because he wasn't done playing with his pet?

"Natalie, the only reason Darren won't divorce you is because of Hanley. Otherwise, what use are you? You're just a freeloader in the Cross family. Look at your sister-in-law, fighting battles for the family business. Tomorrow, she's sure to secure the deal with the Fairchild Conglomerate. What can you do? Nothing but cause trouble all day."

Marie said smugly, "Mom, what does she know about the business world? She can't possibly understand the pressure Darren and I are under. Housewives just get jealous and make mountains out of molehills. Tomorrow, I'll land that deal and show this housewife what a truly useful daughter-in-law of the Cross family looks like."

Victoria added, "Natalie, you'll go to the charity gala tomorrow, too. You can watch from a distance as your sister-in-law secures the deal. You should learn to admire her."

Natalie thought they were ridiculous. Why should she go? Why should she admire that woman?

Darren said, "Natalie, you're coming with us tomorrow. Marie, I'll go with you to pick up Lucien Hartvelle's 'Silent Oath at Dusk'."

Lucien Hartvelle's 'Silent Oath at Dusk'.

The name sent a jolt through Natalie. A voice echoed in her mind.

"Terence, what do you think of my painting, 'Silent Oath at Dusk'?"

"It looks just like the real thing."

...

The next day.
