Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 672

They had already told the Wards many times that Marie was not their child—Natalie was! But they continued to mock and belittle Natalie. Even if they were victims who had been kept in the dark, their repeated refusal to accept the truth, met only with endless humiliation and ridicule, was unforgivable!

At this, the butler looked troubled and said, “Ma’am, it’s not the Ward family.”

Mrs. Lockwood grew even more puzzled.

“If it’s not the Wards, then who is it?”

The butler replied, “It’s Natalie’s son.”

It was Hanley?

The last time Hanley had come to the Lockwood estate, she had thought he was a well-behaved child. But after eating a meal at their home, he had turned around and falsely accused Terence of pushing him down the stairs, causing the Lockwood Group’s stock to plummet.

Because of that incident, just hearing Hanley’s name made Mrs. Lockwood uneasy.

She felt he was here to stir up trouble.

Natalie frowned slightly. What was he doing here now?

“Did he come alone?”

The butler said, “Ma’am, your son came with his grandmother. They are both waiting outside and wish to see you.”

Victoria was here too?

Hearing Victoria’s name set off alarm bells in her head.

“ What is that bitter old woman doing here with the boy? It can’t be anything good. Natalie, I think you should let me send them away.”

If it were just Hanley alone, Mrs. Lockwood wouldn’t have turned him away, no matter how much she resented him for framing Terence. He was, after all, Natalie’s son. But with that old hag in tow, it was a different story.

That woman was surely here to cause trouble, and she didn’t want them adding to Natalie’s stress.

Natalie wasn’t in the mood to deal with Victoria either. She nodded, agreeing to let Mrs. Lockwood send them away.

Mrs. Lockwood instructed the butler, “Go and tell them that Natalie is very busy and doesn’t have time to see them. They should go home.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

After the butler left, they could faintly hear someone shouting at the main gate.

Edgar Lockwood glared fiercely at Mrs. Lockwood.

Mrs. Lockwood met his gaze with an equally cold stare.

When her husband passed away, this man, his own father, had feigned illness and didn't even show his face. Now he was trying to pull rank as the head of the family.

Mrs. Lockwood was about to retort, but Natalie pulled her back.

Given Edgar Lockwood’s status, now was not the time for a direct confrontation.

“The people outside are here for me. I’ll go see what they want. Catherine, please come with me.”

Natalie led Mrs. Lockwood away, knowing that with her fiery temper, she couldn't stand to see Natalie being bullied. She didn’t want the conflict to escalate because of her.

Edgar Lockwood was indeed an old scoundrel, but he was still the master of the Lockwood estate.

Their relationship was complicated, and she couldn't let it completely rupture because of her.

Natalie walked out, and Mrs. Lockwood followed. She couldn't let her face that shameless woman Victoria alone.
