“I have my methods. You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it.”
Edgar Lockwood fumed, “Grace Lockwood, look at him! How dare he speak to his own grandfather like that? It’s outrageous!”
“I’m only speaking the truth!”
Simon chimed in, “Terence, even if you can make the Lockwood Group’s stock rise, how long can you sustain it? More importantly, can you silence all the wagging tongues? It’s clear that Natalie is involved with her ex-husband. The photos don’t lie. Are you still going to protect her and deceive yourself?”
Terence shot Simon a cold look, then turned to Edgar Lockwood. “This precious grandson of yours… you don’t plan on keeping him, do you?”
Terence’s gaze was menacing, and Simon, terrified, quickly hid behind Edgar Lockwood.
“Grandpa, save me!”
Edgar Lockwood shielded Simon, glaring fiercely at Terence. “What do you think you’re doing? He’s your cousin. Are you planning to harm your own family?”
“He looks like he has a death wish. Since we’re family, I should help him along.”
Hearing Terence’s words, Simon’s face went pale. He looked at Edgar Lockwood and pleaded, “Grandpa, please! Save me.”
Edgar said angrily, “Terence, Natalie has already caused immense damage to the Lockwood family’s reputation. The stock drop is a small matter compared to the public disgrace. Our family hasn’t faced this kind of public disgrace in generations.”
“Our family hasn’t faced this kind of public disgrace in generations, has it? What about abandoning your wife and kids to for a mistress? Does that count as humiliation?”
