Right now, besides the Ward Group, no one could help them through this crisis. He couldn't stand the thought of being defeated by Terence, of admitting defeat just like that. He refused to lose everything he had. Only by reaching the pinnacle of power could he make Natalie regret her choice.
Marie looked at Darren and pretended she hadn't heard. “What did you just say? I didn’t hear you.”
Darren said, “Mom was right. I’m not cut out for business. I need you by my side. Please, stay with me.”
At that, a cunning smile appeared on Marie's face.
Victoria was overjoyed. “Marie, this is wonderful, just wonderful! We’ve finally settled your engagement. Don’t you worry, I’ll make sure this wedding is the grandest event ever. I want everyone to see it, and I especially want that woman Natalie to regret this!”
Darren was in agony. It was she who had wronged him, she who didn't want him, she who had abandoned him. So why was he still feeling this pain?
He had to climb to the top, crush Terence, and make Natalie regret everything!
***
At the Lockwood estate.
Natalie was about to head out to pick up more medical supplies for Terence and Liana.
But she hadn't gone far when she heard Hanley's voice.
“Mommy.”
Natalie turned around and saw that it was indeed Hanley. She was surprised. “Hanley, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at school?”
Hanley said, “I should be, Mommy, but I missed you so much that I snuck out to find you.”
