Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 543

“Daddy, it hurts… hurts… ouch!”

Hanley cried out repeatedly, feeling as if his shoulders were about to be crushed.

Victoria quickly rushed forward to stop him.

“Darren, what are you doing? Let go of Hanley! He’s the only grandson of the Cross family, our family’s hope.”

At Victoria's words, Marie's expression soured.

The only grandson of the Cross family, the hope of the Cross family? How ridiculous.

Marie feigned concern. “That's right, Darren. Let go of Hanley. He’s the hope of the Cross family.”

During the scuffle, Darren released Hanley, but his eyes still looked like he wanted to devour the boy.

Hanley was frightened. His grandmother and auntie both said he did the right thing, so why was only his daddy so angry?

Marie said, “Darren, you should know that if Hanley hadn't refused to be brainwashed by Natalie today, I would be the one getting arrested. How could I be sitting here as the CEO of the Ward Group? What hope would the Cross family have left?”

“Why would Natalie brainwash Hanley? If she said something, it must be true.”

Darren trusted Natalie’s character. She would never manipulate a child.

Otherwise, Hanley wouldn't have been able to hurt her time and time again.

Seeing Darren still defending Natalie, Marie was furious.

Victoria, noticing Marie’s foul mood, said angrily to Darren, “Natalie came to Hanley to get him to say that the flowers delivered to Marcus Ward’s room that day were tampered with, and that Marie instructed him to deliver them to kill Marcus.”

Darren was taken aback. “What flowers?”

“Now, Natalie is claiming I tampered with that bouquet, causing my brother’s death! And she wanted to use Hanley as a witness to send me to prison!”

Marie was about to explode with anger. Was Darren still unable to let go of Natalie, even at this point? Was he trying to kill her with frustration?

Victoria said with a stern face, “Darren, Natalie won’t rest until she destroys Marie. The Cross Group is already bankrupt, and Marie is now the CEO of the Ward Group. Our only hope for the Cross Group to make a comeback is through Marie. Natalie isn't just trying to harm Marie; she's trying to cut off our only path to recovery! How can you be so foolish as to still defend her!”

Darren’s face was grim. “I’m not defending her. I just don’t want my son to be a disloyal child.”

Marie stared daggers at Darren. She knew it was just an excuse.

His heart still belonged to Natalie.

Even after Natalie had taken everything from him!

Marie was practically seething.
