“They don’t have good intentions. If you go, you’ll only be upset.”
“Exactly. They want to make me upset. So I should make them miserable in return.”
Natalie looked at Terence, tracing a line on his face. She suddenly smiled, a smile mixed with tears and determination.
Terence took her hand. “I’ll go with you anywhere, even through hell and high water. A mere Ward family party is nothing.”
“Thank you.”
The assistant quietly excused himself. He couldn’t help but feel that all Natalie did was gently touch Mr. Lockwood's face, and he looked ready to give her his life.

The Gala
The Ward family’s gala to celebrate Marie’s appointment as CEO of the Ward Group was held at a famous hotel in Aurelis. They had invited all of high society’s elites and A-list celebrities. The event was incredibly grand.
“Weren’t there rumors that Natalie and Marie were born in the same hospital and might have been switched at birth? Why would the Ward family still give the CEO position to Marie after something like that came out?”
“It must have been a false rumor. If Natalie were the Ward family’s real daughter, there’s no way they’d give the position to Marie. Besides, making this party so grand is probably their way of setting the record straight for Marie.”
“I heard Natalie started those rumors herself, trying to change her fate and take Marie’s place.”
“Look, Ms. Ward is here.”
“Just look at Marie’s custom gown. It must have cost a fortune. The Ward family really went all out for her.”
Marie was bursting with pride. Dressed in a gown worth millions, she was naturally the center of attention. All of this was what she deserved.
Just then, someone shouted.
“The CEO of the Lockwood Group has arrived.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie)
I think Terence must know something isn't right about Angela, that's why he agreed to figure it out....
Marie needs to be gone, she has caused enough trouble for Natalie. This is getting boring!...
This fiasco needs to end. Natalie and Terrance need to be together and in my mind somehow those twins are Natalie’s....
Time for Marie to get her end, this has gone on way too long, time to move on. It’s getting boring....
Payback time. Waiting for chapters 321 onwards!...
I love the sarcastic comebacks. Quite amusing!...
