Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 716

Mrs. Lockwood scoffed. They were still putting on an act. They had deliberately claimed Marie had taken the boy to make Natalie even more anxious, hoping she would leave with him.

"Marie is a joke, taking the fall for you like this. You want the child, don't you? Then take him and go."

Victoria was speechless for a moment. Mrs. Lockwood pressed on, "Don't want to take him? Then what's all this fuss about?"

"Who says I'm not taking my grandson? I'm not just taking my grandson, I'm taking my daughter-in-law, too."

Now that Natalie was a Ward, the Cross family couldn't just let her go, or they'd become a laughingstock again.

Mrs. Lockwood couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Victoria, it seems that as you've gotten older, your mind has started to go. There's no daughter-in-law of yours here!"

"Natalie is my daughter-in-law! Hand over my grandson and my daughter-in-law right now!"

"Does a former daughter-in-law still count? You really have some nerve! You have absolutely no shame!"

"You…"

Victoria's face flushed hot with rage. Just then, Hanley ran out. "Grandma, Grandma, I'm here."

Victoria asked Hanley, "Are you okay? Why did you suddenly disappear? You scared Grandma to death. Did Marie take you away?"

Victoria said angrily, "You're always so well-behaved. Why would you run off by yourself? Are you sure Marie didn't take you?"

"No, I ran off by myself."

Mrs. Lockwood said, "Did you hear that? It means you were negligent. How dare you blame Natalie?"

Whether from shame or anger, Victoria's expression grew even uglier.

"How many times have I told you not to run around when we're out? And you still did it. Do you have any idea how worried I was? What would I do if something happened to you? I'm already old, I can't look after you properly. Why do you have to be so mischievous?"

As she spoke, Victoria gave Hanley several sharp swats on his rear, making him cry.
