Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 541

Just then, a knock on the CEO's office door interrupted Marie's thoughts.

“Come in.”

Marie sounded irritated. The door opened to reveal Victoria and Hanley standing outside.

Seeing them, Marie felt a wave of disgust, but she plastered a cheerful smile on her face.

“Hanley, what are you doing here?”

Victoria said, “You must have heard the news, right? Natalie’s been arrested.”

Marie scoffed. Of course, she knew. After all, she was the one who called the police.

However, she still feigned surprise. “Really? For what?”

“Someone reported her for medical malpractice resulting in a death.”

“That must have been my parents. I tried to talk them out of it, but their grief over losing their son won’t subside until someone is punished.”

Hanley looked at Marie. His auntie didn't really want to be enemies with his mommy.

She just couldn't stop things from happening.

Marie leaned down to look at Hanley. “Hanley, don’t worry too much. Even if your mommy gets arrested, Terence will definitely save her. She’ll be fine.”

Hanley nodded. Marie offered a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

Was this stupid kid actually worried about his mother? What an ungrateful little mutt!

Victoria was overjoyed to hear this. It was good that Hanley knew how to please Marie.

“Marie, Hanley really knows how to protect you. As Natalie was being taken away, she tried to get Hanley to speak up for her. But he stood his ground, insisting that you had nothing to do with the flowers. He even told the police to tell Natalie to stop framing you. You should have seen the look on Natalie's face. Hanley treats you like his real mother.”

This made Marie even more smug. Her own son defending her instead of his biological mother, Natalie, must be devastating for her.

The thought of Natalie's pain brought Marie a special kind of joy.

Marie caressed Hanley’s small face. “Hanley, it’s good to see that all the love I've given you over the years wasn’t for nothing. Now that I’m in charge of the Ward Group, I can protect you. Hanley won’t be made fun of anymore because the Cross Group went bankrupt. From now on, you'll have the Ward Group backing you up!”

Hanley’s eyes lit up. He looked at Marie, deeply moved. “Auntie, is that true?”

“Of course, it is,” Marie said. “I’m the CEO of the Ward Group now. I keep my promises.”
