Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 846

Her presence would only embarrass the Ward family.

"Terence, let's just go. I don't want to be part of this spectacle."

Just then, someone spotted them.

"Oh my god, is that Natalie and Terence? How does Natalie have the nerve to show up? She's not even a Ward."

"Why wouldn't she? The Ward family just landed a multi-billion dollar deal with Aurelius Dominion Group. Their future is limitless. The Ward Group is a powerful connection; she's not going to let go of that easily."

"Exactly. She's just here to suck up to them."

At that moment, Simon saw Terence and immediately perked up. He sauntered over to them. "Well, well, look who's here. Terence, I see you’re finally back on your feet. Too bad it doesn't matter. Even with healed legs, you have no right to return to the Lockwood Group. You've been thrown out.

"The two of you are a perfect match. One got kicked out of the Ward family, the other out of the Lockwood family. Maybe they can have a little jinx of their own!"

Simon's words made some of the guests chuckle.

Terence's face went cold. "Are you tired of standing? Would you prefer to be carried out of here?"

Simon scoffed. "Threatening me? In front of all these people? What are you going to do? I'm warning you, don't try anything stupid. This is a gala hosted by the Ward Group for Aurelius Dominion Group. If you dare cause a scene, you won't just be disrespecting the Ward Group, you'll be disrespecting Aurelius Dominion Group. I heard their leader is coming tonight. If you ruin this party, you're finished, no matter what connection you had with him before."

"Is that so? And what are you doing here? Begging the CEO of Aurelius Dominion to resume your partnership with the Lockwood Group?"

"You're not powerful enough to stop it!"

The crowd started whispering.

"Are those two Terence's father's illegitimate sons?"

"I thought there was only one, but there are two? So much for the family's reputation."

Listening to the chatter, Edgar Lockwood was too embarrassed to even offer an explanation.

Declan said, "For our first meeting, I had hoped to leave a good impression on each other, but you're going too far. Even if you were born in the main Lockwood residence, you've been kicked out of the family just the same. Only those recognized by our grandfather are true descendants of the Lockwood family."

"I wasn't kicked out of the Lockwood Group. I left on my own. Simon was so desperate for the throne, I decided to let him see if he could handle the weight of a crown I never even wanted. And it's clear... he can't."
