Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 86

“Why are you so annoying? Shut up!”

Hanley was furious and flustered. The teacher tried to calm the situation, but the other children’s sense of justice had been ignited.

They were all determined to help Hanley get his bad mommy locked up.

“We only just met today, but I’m doing this for your own good. Or… are you lying? Did your mom not hit you at all? Is that why you’re scared to go to the police?”

“Lying? No way. My mommy showed me the pictures of his bruises. He looked like he was beaten really badly.”

“My mommy showed me too and told me I had to be good, or I’d get beaten like that.”

Hanley’s face was grim. The teachers exchanged uneasy glances. They were the ones who looked after Hanley every day.

They knew better than anyone whether he had any injuries, and they had never seen a single mark on him. Yet, the news showed him covered in bruises.

They knew it was fake, but it was the Cross family’s private affair. The family was powerful and influential, so they didn’t dare say a word. Speaking up would not only cost them their jobs but could also bring a world of trouble.

Hanley said angrily, “Who do you think you are? My business is none of your concern.”

“We’re all just concerned about you. Why are you getting so defensive? Your mommy hurt you so badly, and we want to help you. But if your mom didn’t hit you, and you’re lying about it in front of everyone… then you have no conscience.”

“Stay out of my business.”

“There’s no need to argue. Just let us see the injuries on your body. Then we’ll know if you’re lying.”

The bruises on the live broadcast had been created with special effects makeup.

They had long since been washed off. After all, he was the young master of the Cross family; who would dare to challenge him?

He had never expected to run into a new kid this bold.

…

AT THE LOCKWOOD ESTATE.

“Sir, the young master got into a fight with another child at kindergarten.”

When the butler came to report to Terence, Terence remained perfectly calm.

Natalie was speechless.

...

The kindergarten teacher looked up and, seeing Natalie approaching, frowned in confusion.

After all, they hadn’t contacted her. And the old lady of the Cross family had specifically instructed them: Natalie was already divorced from Darren, Hanley’s custody belonged to the Cross family, and Natalie was not to see Hanley—otherwise she might take the opportunity to steal the child.

“Ms. Verdan, what brings you here?”

“Did something happen? Was Hanley in a fight? I came to see what’s going on.”

“We notified the child’s father,” the teacher said cautiously. “And he repeatedly emphasized that we’re not to let you see Hanley. We can’t take that responsibility, so please leave for now. Hanley’s father will be here to handle it.”

So this was how far the Cross family would go—keeping her from even seeing her own child.

“If Hanley’s dad or his grandmother sees you here,” the teacher added in a low voice, “they’ll file a complaint against us.”
