"Don't talk nonsense. You'll be with me for a long time. I was just worried you wouldn't be used to it here after living in Marentis for fifty years."
"Edgar, you're so considerate. For a moment, I thought you were angryI thought you were afraid of upsetting your legal wife."
"Why would I be afraid of upsetting her? If I cared about her, I wouldn't have left with you for Marentis for fifty years."
"Meeting you was the greatest happiness of my life, Edgar."
Daphne then said with feigned difficulty, "Is the missus coming today? The thought of seeing her again after fifty years makes me a little nervous."
"You have no reason to be nervous. And she's not coming today."
"But today is Simon's press conference for becoming president of the Lockwood Group. As the matriarch of the Lockwood family, how could she not come? Does she not like our Simon?"
"It's better that old hag doesn't come, Grandmother. If she's not here, you're the only leading lady. And you're much prettier than she is."
"Simon, you're still so reckless with your words. She is the matriarch of the Lockwood family. You can't speak of her that way."
"Alright, alright. I know my grandmother has a kind heart."
For some reason, Edgar Lockwood felt a knot tightening in his stomach. There was even a flicker of fear. What was he afraid of? Grace Lockwood had Alzheimer's now; she didn't understand anything. Could he still be afraid of her anger?
At that moment, an assistant spoke up. "The inauguration ceremony is starting. The reporters are all in place. It's time for you to make your appearance."
