Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 793

Angela tossed her hair, confident in her looks.

Callum's eyes went wide.

Darren just said calmly, "Forget it. You've got this look of grim determination, like you're about to join a cult!"

Callum let out a braying laugh.

Angela said angrily, "Dad, you're not helping. What are you even doing here? Go home."

She was so furious she could have screamed, practically shoving Callum out the door.

As Callum turned back, he saw Darren take off his own jacket and put it on Angela.

"If you're going to negotiate with me, then dress professionally."

The simple act of him draping the jacket over her shoulders managed to cool her temper slightly.

"Are you saying I'm not professional enough?"

Darren just didn't want Angela dressed so revealingly. As a beauty queen, she was undeniably attractive.

He had no idea what kind of person they were about to meet. Pleading with someone always involved some degree of groveling, and he didn't want Angela to be taken advantage of.

"It would be best if you didn't go."

"That makes me want to go even more!"

Seeing he couldn't persuade her, Darren could only let her tag along.

"Darren, you think your precious Natalie is the only woman in the world, and that I'm not attractive enough to get what I want?"

"Yes."

Darren's simple nod completely crushed Angela.

In that moment, Angela hated herself for being a woman of her word. If she hadn't been the one to broker this investment deal, she wouldn't be in this position, having to go out and help him solve the problem.

**The Lockwood Estate**

It was only after Catherine learned that Aurelius Dominion Group had canceled its partnership with the Lockwood Group right after Simon took over that she went back to watch the press conference replay.

She saw Simon's smug expression, only to see it wiped away by the news of the canceled partnership. He looked as if he'd been slapped hard across the face.

His expression couldn't have been uglier.

Catherine was doubled over with laughter, unable to catch her breath.

She hadn't paid much attention to the Lockwood Group's affairs, so she hadn't known they were partnered with Aurelius Dominion. They must have pulled out because they knew her son had been ousted from the company. They were deliberately making things difficult for Simon.

They were getting justice for her son, which made Aurelius Dominion Group an ally.

As Catherine was reveling in her delight, she suddenly noticed something strange.
