Chapter 961

"Sophia, Alexander isn't my biological son! How could you lie to me? How could you deceive me like this?"

The moment the video started, Nathan's heart-wrenching voice filled the room.

Natalie looked at the elder lady, who was also taken aback.

Then, a gossipy smile spread across the elder lady's face. "Oh! Natalie, you have to let your grandmother in on this drama. Does Nathan have another son out there somewhere?"

Natalie nodded. "Yes. They've been raising him abroad all this time. Mrs. Scott must have found out through her own investigation. I had my suspicions, but I never expected it to be true."

Sebastian, who was following behind them, suddenly spoke up. “Natalie, I want in on the drama too."

Natalie glanced sideways at him. "Fine. Turn on the TV, we can cast it. It seems your future mother-in-law has some pretty deep secrets of her own."

Sebastian frowned. She was deliberately trying to get under his skin.

The elder lady, however, just chuckled. The boy deserved it.

Sebastian's handsome face was grim as he went to turn on the television. The video was twenty minutes long, and Natalie figured it would be more comfortable to watch on a large screen.

The video began with Sophia trying to stop Nathan from signing the papers for the DNA test.

Soon, Joanna arrived, followed by Wendy and Colin, and then even the elder Mrs. Scott showed up.

In the end, it was confirmed that Alexander was not Nathan's son.

After watching, the elder lady was stunned. She sighed and patted Natalie's hand. "Natalie, your mother is a pitiful woman. That Nathan is no man at all. Is he trying to take everything they have?"

So, secrets never stay buried forever; they always come to light.

Natalie's expression darkened slightly, but she managed a smile. “Grandma, Wendy made her choice."

If it hadn't been for her warning, Wendy's parents would have killed themselves after their company was stolen and their daughter had a breakdown.

With that, she considered the debt of her birth settled; they were finally even.

The elder lady felt a pang of sorrow. She looked at Natalie, wanting to say something but holding back. Wendy was a victim, and so was Natalie Who knew what else was waiting for this girl in the future?

There was a massive conspiracy at play here.

This was also the reason her husband had insisted on the marriage. This girl's future...

“Natalie, is there really no chance you can forgive your mother?" she asked.

Natalie smiled and shook her head, her tone firm and resolute. "Grandma, I can't forget the pain of the past. I told her about Joanna's plot against her ve settled the debt of my birth."

Saving the Don family's lives should be enough to settle the score.

Whether it was truly enough didn't matter anymore.

Her ties to her biological parents were weak, and she had no desire to force a connection.

"Natalie, you've really suffered. The secrets of the wealthy are endless. I've seen things far more terrifying than this."

The elder lady's eyes held a mournful look. Everything needed a resolution, didn't it?

She wanted a resolution, too. She wanted the truth.

Natalie knew. That's why she had stopped forcing so many things.

Sebastian watched her intently. She wouldn't even forgive her own mother. Would she ever truly forgive him?

He knew she wouldn't.

He pressed his lips together, a tightness forming in his chest that made him want to run away.

He had never wanted to drag her

into this vortex, but the moment she

married him, she was already

trapped. It was his mistake for not thinking things through.

“Ma'am, Sir, Mrs. Griffith, lunch is ready,” Diana called from a distance.

Natalie helped the elder lady to her feet, smiling. “Grandma, let's go eat. After lunch,

what would you like to do? I'll keep you company."
