Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 451

Simon's speech was passionate, his face alight with triumph.

He had them in his pocket!

With Terence's reputation in tatters, there was no better time to take him down.

Today, he would replace Terence!

Just then, Terence's phone buzzed. He glanced at the message, and a faint smile touched his lips.

Natalie had warned him yesterday that she suspected a third party, not Darren, had leaked the video. He had his people continue the investigation, and it turned out Simon was that third person.

Terence showed the phone to Natalie. As she read it, she saw that her guess had been correct.

She took the phone and, without a word, went to project its contents onto the screen.

Terence calmly said, "Simon, you framed me for pushing the Cross family's child, paid to make it a trending topic to create negative press, caused the Lockwood Group's stock to fall, and even shorted the stock to make it drop even further."

"Simon, the Lockwood Group's success was built on everyone's hard work. But you, in your desperation to take over, have used unscrupulous methods that have left the company in shambles. A person with such dirty tactics like you… why should anyone support you!"

Simon gave him a wicked smile. "Cousin, you're the one who was willing to throw away your empire for a woman and made a mess of things. I'm just here to clean it up."

Natalie interjected, "The Lockwood Group was peaceful and prosperous until you turned it into a wreck! Destroying something before you even possess it. Directors, are you sure you want to vote for a man like him?"

"You're talking nonsense, woman. I am my grandfather's grandson, a descendant of the Lockwood family. Now that you two have dragged the Lockwood Group through the mud, I have every right to come back and run for CEO to save it. Don't you dare try to slander me."

"Even if I don't become CEO, the Lockwood Group has been crippled because of Terence. Are you just going to let that slide? If I were CEO, I would bring my Marentis projects to the Lockwood Group for a win-win partnership. We could raise the stock price in no time."

At that moment, Philip Greystone came in. "Mr. Lockwood, the Fairchild Conglomerate has agreed to partner with us on the Northwood project. Echelon Nexus Corp. wants to collaborate on the Seaview project. Aureline Systems has sent over a billion-dollar order, and Solaria Holdings has offered a two-billion-dollar order."

All the directors were stunned. They had assumed that with Terence's reputation in ruins, all his existing partnerships would be in jeopardy. They never expected so many new offers to come flooding in. What was going on?

"The Umbra Network has also stated that the intelligence they provided was free of charge! And that if the Lockwood Group needs any intelligence in the future, they just have to ask!"

What? The top intelligence organization, tThe Umbra Network, was offering Terence free services? What kind of connection did he have?

You know what they say: with The Umbra Network on your side, you can conquer the world!
