Today was Simon's first day as president of the Lockwood Group. He had specifically ordered the entire building to be lavishly decorated, creating a grand, over-the-top spectacle to mark the occasion. He had also invited all the major media outlets to grandly announce his new title.
For a moment, he was on top of the world.
"Grandfather, this is fantastic. Today I finally become the president of the Lockwood Group. That damn cripple can't challenge my position anymore."
"It's only right that you become president. What is a cripple doing running the Lockwood Group? It's an embarrassment to the Lockwood family!"
"Grandfather, my older brother called me yesterday. He told me to do a good job. It was the first time he's ever praised me like that."
"While your brother may be a man of few words, he truly cares about you. You must work hard and not disappoint him."
"Grandfather, you're still the one who dotes on me the most, giving me this Aurelis fortune."
"If not to you, should I have given it to that cripple?"
"You really do spoil me the most, Grandfather. I have a surprise for you."
"What surprise?"
Simon said mysteriously, "Grandmother is here today, too."
Edgar Lockwood's face instantly darkened. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Your grandmother is in poor health. How could you make her fly all the way here? What are you thinking?"
"You're so concerned about her, Grandfather, worried about her every little discomfort."
