Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 497

Although Mrs. Lockwood was resentful, there was nothing she could do. He was, after all, her husband's father.

Edgar looked at Terence and said, “You're quite capable. If it weren't for your paralyzed legs, I might have let you continue as president of the Lockwood Group. But you're a cripple. How can you handle such a great responsibility?”

Mrs. Lockwood retorted angrily, “My son's legs are injured, but he still made the Lockwood Group the top of the four great families in Eldoria City. What about this rat-like grandson of yours? Does he have any ability? He has the face of a petty thief!”

Simon snapped, “What thief? I'm my grandfather's grandson. Everything in the Lockwood family belongs to him. It's ancestral property, and Grandpa can give it to whomever he wants.”

“What a joke. He hasn't shown his face in fifty years. How did he manage the family business? If we're talking about ancestral property, it should be up to Mrs. Lockwood to decide who gets what. If you don't believe me, go look up some old newspapers and see how she held the Lockwood family together through a war-torn era to this day.”

“I am her husband. The Lockwood family she protected is my Lockwood family. Now that I, the master, have returned, you can get out if you don't like it.”

Mrs. Lockwood was furious, but Terence said calmly, “You can stay here for now. But you need to understand that you can't just take what belongs to the Lockwood family.”

Though it was a simple statement, it carried a weight that made Edgar feel pressured.

This grandson of his, sitting in a wheelchair, so young, could still make him feel a sense of dread.

What skills did he have? He was just guarding the inheritance left by his ancestors. What was there to be arrogant about?

Victoria arrived at the gate of the Ward estate, reluctant to go inside.

She knew the Wards were in a foul mood and didn't want to become their punching bag.
