Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 455

“He’s getting more and more out of line. He needs to be taught a lesson!”

Natalie looked at Philip. “Philip, please get this video out there. Let everyone know that Terence is innocent. And be sure to include the part showing the air cushion he had placed below, along with the hospital report for the child. Release it all at once!”

Releasing the hospital report was a brilliant move. The report stated that Hanley had no significant external injuries.

That day, Hanley had pretended to have broken arms and legs, all wrapped up in bandages. He had tried to frame their CEO, so now they would let his own scheme backfire on him.

Philip looked absolutely thrilled. “This is great! Mr. Lockwood’s name will finally be cleared. I’ll get on it right away.”

As Philip happily left, Terence turned to Natalie. “Are you sure about this? Aren’t you afraid Hanley will blame you?”

Natalie replied calmly, “I was never going to plead for his aunt, much less get her released without charges. So, in the end… he was going to blame me anyway.”

Natalie knew Hanley’s goal was to get Marie out, but that was something she couldn’t do.

Even if she could, she wouldn’t.

Marie had brought this on herself. Why should Natalie be the one to save her? They couldn’t emotionally blackmail her. After all, in the eyes of the Cross family, she wasn't that important.

Terence looked at Natalie, his gaze softening.

“There’s bound to be a huge online backlash after today. If you need me to step in, I will.”

“It’s fine. Since they dared to frame you, they should have been prepared for the consequences.”

Natalie’s eyes were firm. Her loyalty was to those who were loyal to her.

Marie trembled, putting on a pitiful act. “Hanley, now that I’m in here, I probably won’t make it out alive. You have to listen to your grandma and your mother. Don’t get on your mother’s bad side because of me. I’m not going to survive this, so I’ll be more at ease knowing there’s one more person looking after you.”

Victoria chimed in, “Hanley, see how much your aunt cares about you? She’s the one who truly has your best interests at heart. Your mother only cares about those two Lockwood children now.”

Hanley’s heart sank. It felt like his mother only cared about Lucas and Liana.

And the worst part was that everyone knew it. It was humiliating!

Victoria continued, “Marie, you’re just too kind. It was clearly that woman Natalie who did this to you, yet you’re still defending her.”

Marie feigned weakness. “Mom, it’s because I know I’m not getting out. I hope there will be one more person to take care of Hanley. Natalie is his biological mother. I don’t want them to fight because of me. If I die, I won’t be able to rest in peace.”
