Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 446

Terence’s words made Edwin Cole’s face darken.

“You must be joking, Mr. Lockwood. The Lockwood Group has lost billions. Who could possibly cover that!”

“I can. Since you can’t, then sit down. Don’t disrupt the meeting.”

“You…”

Edwin Cole was furious but could only take his seat.

He was determined to see what trick Terence had up his sleeve to turn this situation around.

“Although the Lockwood Group’s stock has fallen sharply, I have a way to reverse the trend…”

Before Terence could finish, an old man with eyes as sharp as a wolf’s stood up.

“Terence, this crisis was caused entirely by your personal life. If you want to raise the stock price, it’s simple. All you have to do is resign in disgrace and step down as president of the Lockwood Group!”

The man who stood up was Jason Hayes, the most senior of the Lockwood Group’s four major directors.

Terence had just said he had a solution, yet Hayes had cut him off without even hearing him out. The man was clearly impatient.

Natalie’s brow furrowed. Could the leaked video be connected to him?

Terence said coolly, “Mr. Hayes, you’re an old man. I see you’re well aware that your time is short and you don't want to waste a second of it.”

“Terence, you may be the president, but I, Jason Hayes, am a veteran of this company. Even your grandmother has to show me some respect. How dare you speak to me like that!”

“I clearly stated I have a solution to our current predicament, yet Mr. Hayes couldn’t even be bothered to listen before demanding my resignation. You’re not on your deathbed, so what’s the rush?”

Terence wanted to know who was pulling the strings. A scandal could cause the stock to fall, but this kind of drop clearly indicated someone was manipulating the market from behind the scenes.

“Mr. Lockwood, there’s something you may not know due to your young age. It’s true your father left you no siblings, which allowed you to hold the presidency without any sense of urgency or competition. You’ve jeopardized the Lockwood Group for a woman. What a shame. But you seem to have forgotten that the world is full of hidden gems waiting to be discovered!”

A hidden gem?

Terence’s brow tightened. What game was this old fox playing?

“Hello, everybody.”

A confident, aggressive voice cut through the tension, and an arrogant-looking man strode into the room.

He wore a tailored but overly flamboyant suit, its color so bright it was almost blinding, a clear declaration of his unique presence.
