Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 43

As Victoria spoke, she turned to Marie. "Marie, that country bumpkin is gone. Now there's no one to get in your way."

Darren exploded with anger. "Mom, do you have any idea what you've done? With Natalie gone, what about the project plan?"

"What project plan?"

"The one she created for the Fairchild Conglomerate, the one that won Old Mr. Fairchild's approval. Yes, she signed the contract, but without her plan, will he be satisfied? If we drive her away now, the breach of contract penalty will be enough to ruin us!"

Victoria finally looked a little panicked.

"Well... what are we supposed to do?"

While Victoria fretted, Marie was delighted.

"So that's why you defended her earlier? Because of her project plan?"

Marie was smug. She knew Darren wouldn't suddenly start siding with Natalie.

After all, their connection ran much deeper than his with Natalie.

Darren didn't answer Marie, his face grim as he said, "If we can't get Natalie's plan, we're all finished!"

Victoria said anxiously, "I didn't know. If I'd known, I would have tricked the plan out of her before kicking her out."

"I told you to be quiet several times. Why can't you just control your tongue?"

Victoria flushed with embarrassment. How was she supposed to know about something like that?

Just then, Hanley spoke up. "I'll go find Mommy and ask her to give us the project plan."

Victoria's face lit up at Hanley's words.

"Yes, Hanley, you go find your mommy. A mother's child is always her Achilles' heel."

"Can you do it?"

Darren looked down at Hanley, who replied, "Daddy, for the sake of the Cross Group, I will convince Mommy. I won't let the company get into trouble."

...

The Lockwood Estate

"Mr. Lockwood, the meeting with Ms. Ward has been arranged by your grandmother for tomorrow afternoon."
