Richard added, “That’s right. We have to protect her from now on.”
Elaine turned to Marcus. “Now that Darren has the Everhart Group backing him, there’s no telling how arrogant he’ll become. Meanwhile, Terence has been forced out of the Lockwood Group, and his legs… We can’t let your sister lose.”
Although Natalie had just said they didn't need to compare themselves to anyone and that she didn't care, the Ward Group would not let her lose, nor would they allow Victoria to act so arrogantly in front of their daughter.
“I know, Mom. I’ll find a time to talk to Terence about a partnership. If necessary, I’m willing to give him the Ward Group. What do you both think?”
The Wards were stunned that their son was willing to do so much for his sister.
Richard said, “We’re at an age where we should be retiring anyway. Terence seems truly devoted to your sister, even giving up the Lockwood Group for her. If you’re willing to give the Ward Group to your sister, we support it. But you need to think it through for yourself.”
Marcus said, “Mom, Dad, my life was saved by my sister. Now that we’ve found her, I want to give her my all. I’ve already thought it through. I’ll talk to Terence. If he’s willing to become the president of the Ward Group, he can bring my sister back to the Ward family.”
Elaine and Richard nodded, proud of their son.
Both of their children placed little importance on money. It was so different from Marie, who was always scheming for their money when she was with them. Back then, they thought they were just spoiling her, but they never expected that the apple truly doesn't fall far from the tree.
Her biological father was a drunk and a gambler, and her mother was a despicable child-thief. No wonder Marie was willing to harm Marcus for their fortune!

At the Lockwood residence.
When Natalie and the children returned, they saw Terence in the garden. He had already pulled out all the weeds and tilled the soil.
Natalie stopped, stunned. “Did you do all this?”
Terence nodded. “Didn’t you say you wanted to plant some herbs in the garden? I cleared this spot out so you can plant them here.”
