Simon's words made Mrs. Lockwood bite back what she was about to say.
Her mother-in-law's health was too fragile for another shock. She had already forgotten that the old philanderer had betrayed her and was now living in a blissfully ignorant state.
If they told her now that the man had abandoned her for half her life, only to return with a grandson from another woman to fight for the family inheritance, she wouldn't be able to take it.
She couldn't bear it. Was it fair for someone with Alzheimer's to be subjected to the same pain over and over again?
Mrs. Lockwood couldn't stand the thought of seeing the old woman hurt again.
Natalie and Terence felt the same way, unwilling to cause her more pain.
Grace Lockwood said cheerfully, "You're such a thoughtful boy."
"Of course," Simon said. "I'm your favorite grandson, so naturally, I care about you the most."
He was gloating. He had already figured out that these people placed immense importance on the old woman.
They valued her more than anything and wouldn't dare risk her dying from a fit of rage.
Simon looked at them all with a defiant glint in his eye, proud of how happy he'd made her.
Just then, Natalie suddenly said, "That's right. Simon is the one who cares for Grandma the most and is the most considerate."
Mrs. Lockwood was stunned. What was Natalie thinking?
Why was she siding with Simon?
Simon couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. This Natalie was a smart one.
She probably saw that he was about to become the president of the Lockwood Group and was ready to ditch Terence and side with him.
Though she was divorced, she was easy on the eyes. It wouldn't be so bad to keep her around as a mistress.
Simon's eyes roamed over Natalie's body, his gaze turning lewd.
Terence’s voice was dangerously low. "You want to keep those eyes? I can dig them out for my son to play with."
At that moment, Mrs. Lockwood couldn't hold back her laughter.
Just a moment ago, she was wondering why Natalie was suddenly praising Simon for being so caring and considerate.
It was only when she heard Natalie ask him to do puzzles with her grandmother that she realized Natalie was just helping him solidify his persona.
The puzzle they had prepared had 53,100 pieces.
The thought of Simon puzzling himself into a stupor made Mrs. Lockwood burst out laughing.
When Simon saw Mrs. Lockwood laughing, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
What was she laughing at?
"Simon, doing this puzzle with Grandma is part of her therapy. Don't you dare give up after just a few pieces. You're the most devoted grandson, after all. You have to think about your grandmother's health."
Seeing the smile on Mrs. Lockwood's face, and then the smiles on the children's faces, Simon's unease grew.
