Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 315

If this mother and son had a falling out, who would host her wedding?

"Mom, please don't be angry. Darren didn't mean it that way. The company is facing a life-or-death crisis. Terence was ruthless, trying to crush the Cross Group with a single blow. But I managed to transfer five hundred million dollars from my family to the Cross Group. For now, we're barely holding on."

Victoria's eyes lit up when she heard that. Marie had brought in five hundred million from the Ward family.

She had managed to get five hundred million with no effort on their part. It seemed that tolerating her had paid off.

Having tasted the benefits, Victoria was more determined than ever to drain the Ward family dry.

Victoria grabbed Marie's hand, beaming. "Marie, I knew you were our family's lucky star, unlike Natalie, who was just a jinx. We need to arrange your wedding as soon as possible. I've already had the invitations printed. I'll send them to all our friends and relatives. Let everyone know you're getting married. We'll throw you a magnificent wedding."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Marie, you know I've always thought of you as my own daughter. How could I ever let you be wronged?"

Darren said nothing, his face grim.

Victoria quickly pulled Darren aside. "Marie's wedding dress must be custom-made. No matter how expensive, make sure she's the most beautiful bride on her special day."

Darren remained silent. Just then, a loud voice boomed through the house.

"Anyone home?"

The coarse voice made everyone flinch. The maid went to open the door.

Two energetic, older women walked in. They were relatives from the Cross family's hometown, Third Aunt Susan and Fifth Aunt Linda. They came from a farming background and had always been loud.

Victoria's face soured. But even an emperor has poor relatives, so she had to endure it.

"Exactly. A wedding is a big deal. We must come and help."

Marie quietly stepped aside. She couldn't stand the smell of these country folk.

They noticed Marie moving away, knowing she looked down on them.

Susan said, "This must be the elder daughter-in-law. You're getting more beautiful. You even smell like perfume, not like us country folk who stink."

Linda added, "The elder daughter-in-law is as lovely as ever. It's a shame our eldest son didn't have the good fortune to stay with you."

Marie was furious. She was about to marry Darren; the last thing she wanted was for people to call her the "elder daughter-in-law."

They were deliberately bringing up a sore subject!
