"No! I am Miss Ward! This old country woman has nothing to do with me."
Kate grabbed Natalie's arm. "Natalie, stop making a scene. Miss Ward is a good person. Why do you insist on framing her? I know my humble background has always made you feel inadequate. You're jealous of her and want to become her, but you can't just lie in front of all these people."
Natalie looked at Kate, who was so desperately trying to protect Marie. Did she really not realize how terrible her acting was?
Just then, Darren stepped forward and gripped Natalie's arm. "There are too many people here. Stop making a scene!"
Darren didn't want Natalie to expose Marie's true identity.
The Cross family's revival depended on Marie!
Natalie yanked her arm away from Darren's grasp. "Don't touch me. Keep your distance. Otherwise, you'll make me sick."
Darren's face darkened. The woman who used to look at him with pure adoration now acted as if his very touch was repulsive.
Just then, Kate Verdan's phone rang.
In her panic, she fumbled and accidentally answered on speakerphone. A frantic woman's voice came through the phone.
"Is this Martin Doyle's family? You need to come to the hospital right away. Martin Doyle is gone."
"What? What do you mean he's gone?"
A man in a mask had gone in and pulled his oxygen tube.
She stared daggers at Marie. "Was it you? Did you send someone to pull Martin Doyle's tube? Was it you?"
Marie said angrily, "What are you yelling about? I didn't send anyone to pull his tube. I wouldn't even deign to look at a disgusting person like that, so why would I send someone to pull his oxygen tube? Who knows why someone like that just dropped dead? What does it have to do with me? Let go of me!"
Marie denied it, but her coldness only convinced Kate Verdan that she was lying!
Her indifference was chilling, as if a dog had died, not a human being—let alone her own biological father.
Kate said furiously, "I already told you he was your biological father! How could you do this to him? Why did you have to kill him? You'll be damned for killing your own father!"

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!...
