"You're the clingy ex-boyfriend my girlfriend was talking about? The laughing stock of the Belmont family who is now a pet for the Alexanders to play with?"

The man sneered, pulling a bank card from his coat pocket and flicking it over arrogantly. "There’s two grand on this. Take it and get lost."

Ex-boyfriend?

Reginald froze slightly and turned to Eloise, confused. Since when… was he her ex?

Eloise Payton straightened her back, her expression cold, deliberately stepping away from him. "I finally got that multi-million-dollar project you once promised but never had the ability to deliver. I started my own firm but it's a studio now. I’m a company boss now, worth millions."

She gave a chilling smile. "I heard you just recently started thinking clearly again? Doesn’t matter. Until you’re fully sane, you’re still a lunatic to everyone anyway. We’re not on the same level anymore. You really think someone like you deserves me? I’m the daughter of the former mayor, remember?"

    “Ninety-one trillion?” Reginald repeated slowly.“.....”The manager gave a slight nod. “Yes, Mr. Mogul. In addition to the ninety-one trillion in liquid assets, you have billions in gold and jewelry stored in our vaults. You also hold shares across multiple multinational firms. Your total estimated net worth is roughly five hundred quintillion.”Reginald raised an eyebrow. What?The manager continued, “Mr. Caesar has reserved a significant portion for investments in fast-growing ventures and expansion overseas. The combined income from foreign branches likely exceeds one septillion. All of it under your name.”Reginald tapped his chin thoughtfully.Eleven years. In just eleven years his empire had multiplied without him. It flourished in silence and matured like wine in a dark cellar. All while he spent those same years bowing his pride in front of that small woman! Christine Alexander!He shook his head with a bitter chuckle.“Reginald Belmont,” he muttered to himself. “You’ve alway

    Reginald studied the situation before him. His eyes flicked down to the pen clipped to his breast pocket, its cap hanging loose like a warning. It blinked red just once. That was enough to indicate that it was on.He smirked, straightened his spine, and stepped into the waiting room.The man inside lit a cigar. The flame from the lighter briefly revealed a grin wrapped in smoke. He took a long drag, then exhaled like someone who had owned the room long before Reginald walked in.“I asked to see the young master of the Belmont family,” the man said with a slow chuckle, “And here you are.”Doug’s voice carried a hint of disappointment. Every deal he’d made in the past had been with Garrett. Garrett was the young master. Seeing someone else, Reginald, step up in his place wasn’t just unfamiliar; it made things feel... unstable.But Doug adapted fast.“No problem,” he muttered with a shrug, reaching into his bag. “Whether it’s you or Garrett Belmont... the job’s the same.” He handed over

    Noah quickly stepped in to shield Reginald, hearing the commotion. He pushed Macaulay away before the punch could land on any flesh at all. He called security to escort Mr. Macaulay out.He looked at Reginald's swollen face with concern. "Young Master Belmont, are you okay? Do you need me to call the family doctor?"Reginald ignored the stinging pain on his face. His mind was replaying that man’s heart-wrenching words.How could it be that Garrett ruthlessly ignored the 50 workers sponsored by the Belmonts? Did he not know, or was he pretending? Was he careless, ignorant, or just as evil as Watson? What was really going on? Why?!He turned to Noah. His expression was serious. "What is this really about?"Noah hesitated before explaining, his voice low. "Mr. Watson is the heir to the WatsCo family business. He's known for his devious ways and boldness. But he's also friends with Garrett. A year ago, he suddenly declared on the news that he was going to take his father's company to the

    The moment the thought crossed his mind, Reginald dismissed it. He had to stay calm. Doing that would only prove to everyone that he was insane, and maybe still is. He couldn’t act impulsively. He couldn’t risk being trapped by that madman Garrett Belmont and his mother. He couldn’t risk being kicked out of position. He couldn’t let this family business suffer.Under the pressure of countless eyes, Reginald's mind raced. Maybe he could pretend to be insane again and escape? He ran through dozens of ideas, but faking unconsciousness seemed the most reliable.He glanced around, ensuring it was safe before preparing to bulge his eyes and scream like a madman.Just then, Caesar appeared at the doorway and hurried to his side. “Lord Reginald, are you okay? You don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell?”Reginald looked up and when he saw it was Caesar, he let out a breath of relief. He immediately nodded, feigning discomfort as he held his temple. “Yeah... I’m feeling a bit ill.”Understand

    Six years. Six years ago???? Was that why the Belmont estate felt so hollow that day when he went back there after he got his senses back? Was that also why Caesar had called the landline that day too?“And you…” Reginald pointed between both men. “You were holding this position… for me? Since six years ago?”Caesar gave Noah a sideways glance and nodded. “I had to pose as your grandfather’s trusted aide to your stepmother. Something wasn’t right. Meanwhile, this business was being kept alive by Noah, at least, whenever Mr. Garrett Belmont wasn’t tearing it apart.”Reginald narrowed his eyes. “Garrett. Of course.” He sighed. “Aside from my stepbrother, who else has been causing problems?”Almost on cue, a sleek black van pulled up outside. Reginald leaned toward the window. “Who’s that?”Noah didn’t answer directly. Instead, he said, “Young Master Belmont… I think it’s time we headed to the Vision Room.”The name had sounded dramatic but when he stepped inside, Reginald understood wh

    The man in the suit stood with his hands at his sides, bowing deeply to Reginald like he’d just found a lost treasure.Reginald blinked. The guy looked familiar, yet… he couldn’t place him.“You know me?” Reginald asked skeptically.“Yes, Young Master Belmont,” the man said without hesitation. “The Belmont family business is not in a good state right now. And I’m more than grateful that Mr. Caesar brought me to you.”Caesar?The name made Reginald lift his eyes, and sure enough there he was. Caesar, in a crisp navy-blue suit, stepped out of the other car with his usual calm swagger. He was an older man who had a family but he was still a cool, chill dude. He waved once, casually, like he hadn’t just brought a strange man to him.Reginald’s shoulders eased slightly. He trusted that Caesar would never endanger him. “What’s your name?” he asked the man in the suit.The man gestured toward the car, leading him toward it with professional ease. Reginald followed.“I’m your secretary, young
