Simon scrambled to follow. He couldn't lose the Lockwood Group.
Daphne's eyes turned cold.
*Grace Lockwood, your grandson is something else! How dare he harm my grandson like this? I won't let you get away with it!* she thought furiously.

At the Cross Group.
Darren had watched the live broadcast, seeing the Aurelius Dominion Group cancel its partnership with the Lockwood Group. He saw Simon fly into a rage, completely humiliated.
Darren's brow furrowed. He had hoped that with Simon securely in the CEO position at the Lockwood Group, Terence would never have a chance to return. He never expected Simon to be so useless.
The Aurelius Dominion Group had actually canceled its contract. That was the Aurelius Dominion Group, a corporate giant that was seemingly untouchable.
He hadn't realized that Terence had connections to them. It was no wonder he had been able to build the Lockwood Group into the top family in Mariston Vale in just a few short years.
If he could also partner with the Aurelius Dominion Group, his achievements would be no less than Terence's.
He had assumed that once Terence was kicked out of the Lockwood Group and Simon took over, Terence would be nothing more than a disabled nobody. He never imagined Terence had ties to the Aurelius Dominion Group.
The more Darren thought about it, the more anxious he became, until he was interrupted by a burst of joyful laughter.
The sound pierced his eardrums like a needle. He looked toward the source and saw Angela, staring at her phone. She was also watching the live stream, laughing so hard she was shaking.
"Hahahaha, this is great! Did that idiot Simon really think he could hold onto something Terence didn't want anymore? What a joke."
Then, with a look of pure adoration, Angela said, "Our Terence is so capable! He has a partnership with the Aurelius Dominion Group. It's amazing."
Darren was at a loss for words. Was this what they meant by one person's joy being another's sorrow?
Were they even allies?
