Terence and the two kids were furious. Were they just going to let that guy off?
Natalie said, “If I can beat him in the finals, he’ll have nothing left to say.”
Lucas pouted. “But it’s so frustrating that someone would dare to bully Natalie like this.”
“I never let other people’s doubts get to me.”
Terence remained silent, seemingly not ready to drop the matter of dealing with the man.
“Terence,” Natalie said, “thank you for the materials you gave me. They were really helpful.”
Natalie had been able to get up to speed so quickly thanks to the excellent notes Terence had compiled for her.
A titan of the business world, Terence had also been a brilliant student in his day.

Because of Natalie’s close relationship with Terence and her victory in the preliminaries, someone started a rumor that she had only won because of Terence’s influence. Compounded by the taunts from the other country’s contestant, the rumors caused Lockwood Group’s stock to fluctuate.
“Ms. Verdan, the matriarch would like to see you.”
At that moment, everyone else happened to be out, leaving only Natalie at the estate.
“Why does she want to see her? Oh well, she just finished making those herbal aromatherapy bracelets. She made an extra one for the matriarch, so this is a good time to give it to her.”
The butler said, “Should I call the young master?”
The matriarch must be furious about the company’s stock being affected. Calling Ms. Verdan over couldn’t be for anything good.
“No, that’s alright.”
The butler’s heart tightened. He decided he had to call Mrs. Lockwood right away.
