Edgar Lockwood’s expression was grim. “I am the head of the Lockwood family. How can I allow you to act so recklessly?”
“You may be the head of the family, but he's my son who's getting married. My son wants to marry Natalie. As his elder, you should be focused on how to bless them and what wedding gift you'll be giving. On behalf of my son and future daughter-in-law, thank you.”
Natalie was a little stunned. While she was happy that Mrs. Lockwood was defending her, she couldn't help but feel confused.
But this… daughter-in-law? Was she talking about her?
Edgar’s face darkened. “Just because she’s the lost daughter of the Ward family and you think her background is now barely acceptable, you dare to be this brazen?”
“Whether Natalie is the Ward family's lost daughter or not, she is worthy of Terence. The fact that her family background now matches the Lockwood family's should please you all the more. You should be even more eager to bless them.”
“Even if she is the lost daughter of the Ward family, she’s a divorced woman who’s already had a child! How far has the Lockwood family fallen to need to marry a woman like that? If Terence wants to remain the CEO of the Lockwood Group, he shouldn't marry a woman like her!”
Just then, Terence emerged, his eyes filled with determination. “And if I insist on marrying her, what will you do? Remove me as CEO of the Lockwood Group? I've been running this company since I was eighteen. What makes you think you can just replace me?”
Edgar’s face grew darker. Although he was the head of the Lockwood family, fifty years had passed.
His influence within the Lockwood Group was not as strong as Terence’s, a fact that greatly displeased him.
“Terence, I am your grandfather! Is that any way to speak to me!”
“I’m just stating the facts.”
Edgar was furious, but a cold, sinister smile soon appeared on his face.
