Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 656

Richard said with hatred, “It’s because she knew she wasn’t our biological daughter. She was afraid of losing her status as a Ward, so she went after Marcus. She’s nothing but an ungrateful monster.”

In that moment, Elaine finally believed it. All this time, she had been treating an ungrateful monster as her own daughter, letting herself be completely fooled by her.

The daughter she had raised with her own hands was more venomous than a viper. Elaine strode forward and slapped Marie hard across the face, her voice a furious roar. “Marie, how dare you? Even if he’s not your biological brother, he was so good to you your entire life! How dare you try to kill him?

“And even in the hospital, when you saw he was about to wake up, you tried to poison him again. Do you have a heart of stone?”

At that moment, Elaine was livid, wanting nothing more than to strangle Marie.

Stunned by the hard slap, Marie’s face swelled, and her mind went blank.

“It’s not like that! It’s not! I didn’t do any of those bad things! Natalie framed me! You’re my parents, my brother, my family! You can’t let Natalie fool you! It really wasn’t me! I’m innocent! Natalie framed me!”

All Marie had left was denial. What else could she do?

She turned to Marcus, pleading desperately, “Marcus, I’m your sister. The sister you’ve doted on since we were children. Marcus, you can’t abandon me. Don’t listen to what Natalie is saying. It was just an accident. I never meant to harm you, brother.”

“I’m not your brother. I’ve already died once. Do you think I’d let you fool me again? I’m warning you, don’t you dare say we’re family again. You are not my sister!”

Marcus wrenched his arm free from Marie’s grasp and said to Elaine, “Mom, Dad, Marie is not your biological daughter, and she is certainly not my sister.”

“Later, I thought there might have been a mistake at the hospital, so I started looking into the families of other babies born around the same time as her.

“I went through several families, and none of them were a match. There was only one left.”

Marcus’s tone grew somber. “The last person was Natalie. I had just called her, and we were scheduled to do a test the next day, but then I got into the car accident.”

At this, Marcus looked at Natalie. “You must have gone that day, didn’t you? You must have thought I stood you up, that I was playing a joke on you, right? But I was in an accident. I couldn’t make our appointment. Natalie… I almost found you. I’m sorry.”

When she heard Marcus say, “Natalie… I almost found you. I’m sorry,” Natalie felt a deep pang in her heart.
