Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 856

Edgar Lockwood had no time to spare for Daphne. After all, Terence was the man in power at the Aurelius Dominion Group. If things went south, it wouldn't just be the Lockwood Group; their businesses in Marentis would also be affected.

Edgar turned to Grace. “Let me explain.”

Grace looked at him coldly. “Explain? What more is there to explain? You faked your death for fifty years. You didn't even come back when our son died. Why are you back now? Is it because your businesses in Marentis aren't enough for your children and grandchildren, so you’ve come to take a piece of the Lockwood Group?”

Grace had seen right through Edgar's intentions, but how could he admit it?

He said, “Maybe that’s what I was thinking at first, but after I came back and saw you, I realized how terribly I acted. I shouldn’t have faked my death for some so-called freedom, leaving you to bear such a heavy burden alone. At the time, I just felt the old ways of thinking were too oppressive. I wanted a new, freer way of life. I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

“You wanted a new, freer way of life, so you trapped me in the Lockwood mansion for fifty years. Edgar Lockwood, you are too cruel.”

“Believe me, I will make it up to you.”

Daphne couldn't believe Edgar was still defending Grace. She was furious.

Daphne seethed, “You’re still protecting her! You should be telling her she’s about to have nothing! Her grandson is a nobody who runs a little restaurant. Our grandson has already inherited the Lockwood Group. We should be throwing them out of the Lockwood mansion and moving our grandson in!”

Mrs. Lockwood retorted, “Daphne, are you trying to usurp our place? You shameless old mistress! I’m telling you, as long as I’m here, you can forget about it!”
