Natalie stared at Marie, her eyes growing colder. "You know, Marie, you and Darren are perfect for each other. You both love to blame others for your own mistakes. This twisted, taboo romance between a widow and her brother-in-law... sorry, but I want no part of it. It disgusts me. You two can have fun on your own!"
At that moment, Natalie felt a profound sense of release.
She hadn't exposed them sooner because she knew Darren all too well.
If she had confronted him directly, he would have only protected Marie, and she would have been the one left humiliated.
Anyone else would have been one thing, but it had to be Marie.
Thinking about how Marie had manipulated her and made her a servant in her own home filled her with nausea.
He would never explain himself to her. Now, she would watch him try to explain himself to the world.
"Mr. Cross, is what Mrs. Cross said true? Are you really having an incestuous affair with your sister-in-law?"
"Mr. Cross, can you tell us how this relationship with your sister-in-law began?"
"Mr. Cross, does your mother know about this? What does she think of your actions?"
Darren was on the verge of exploding, but he forcefully suppressed his rage. He knew that if he mishandled this, the Cross Group would be finished.
Forcing his anger down, he turned to Natalie, his brow furrowed. "Natalie, I know you saw that video and you think I betrayed you. You're angry, and that's why you released it. But you need to calm down right now and think about our son. The video is AI-generated. The people trying to harm the Cross Group are cunning and ruthless. You should have come to me when you received it. We're husband and wife. I could have explained. You should have trusted me."
He looked at her with burning intensity, but Natalie's expression only grew more stone-like. He was trying to threaten her with their son?
Marie chimed in angrily, "Natalie, you've been used as a pawn! Don't you realize how many people are jealous that the Cross Group and the Fairchild Conglomerate are partnering to become a new powerhouse? How could you let yourself be manipulated at a time like this? Don't you know these rumors will destroy Darren and the Cross Group? You're an absolute fool!"
"Marie, you've got some nerve, still shouting with the evidence right in front of you. If yelling could cover up the truth, the world would be a very different place."
