Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 52

Darren was furious. How could this video have leaked? They had cleaned everything up perfectly, paid everyone off. How could this surveillance footage still exist?

"Mr. Cross, why did you smash the screen? Are you trying to hide something?"

"Mr. Cross, smashing the screen won't change anything. What happened, happened. Was the woman with you your sister-in-law, Ms. Ward?"

"The Cross Group called this press conference to tell the public the truth. Are you smashing the screen because you have a guilty conscience?"

Natalie looked at Darren. He was like a cornered wolf, radiating a fury that made it seem like he might lunge at her at any moment.

Her eyes were cold and deep. *Go ahead, Darren. Be shocked. Be stunned. Just like I was that night, when I saw the two of you in that car. I was just as shocked, just as stunned, just as unable to believe my eyes.*

*Now it's your turn to feel what I felt that night.*

Darren clenched his fists, forcing himself to address the reporters. "I smashed the screen because whether this video is real or fake, once it's spread by the media here, it will become the 'truth.' A lie told often enough becomes the truth, and I will not allow that to happen."

Marie shot Natalie a venomous look. "Natalie, you idiot, how could you let someone use you like this? This is clearly an AI-generated video created by someone who wants to use you as a weapon to destroy the Cross Group. You're so foolish you actually played it at a press conference! Thank God Darren smashed the screen, or you'd be facing consequences you could never handle."

"You claim it's an AI video, so it must be an AI video? Shouldn't we let everyone have a look and decide for themselves?"

Natalie smiled faintly, a smile that sent a chill down both Darren's and Marie's spines.

Darren grabbed her wrist again. "What the hell are you trying to do?"
