Fifteen minutes later, Julio finally came with this year’s newest model car. Everyone complimented him as he got down from the car, revealing his expensive clothes. Only Dionne did not say anything about that man. Julio moved to open the car door for Dionne. The girl got into the car without saying thank you. He clenched his fists, a sign that he was annoyed with the girl’s behavior.They drove for a few minutes until they finally arrived at a hotel. The Quillon family rented a five-star hotel to hold the party.Dionne looked all around as she walked into the ballroom. She thought she should leave this place as soon as possible.Lots of people attended this party. Julio and the Lace family approached several people to talk to. Almost all of those present were important people.However, Dionne did not care about them because she was still thinking about how to escape. She would rather live a hard life every day than marry a man like Julio.Julio always said good things in front of Dio
Julio was confused and scared. He had to come face to face with Rex, the man he thought was dead. His guts sank when he was in front of Rex. He wanted to avoid admitting his defeat, but now he had to lower his pride in front of many people.If Julio did not apologize now, his life might be over. The Quillon family was not going to just let him go after what happened.“I’m sorry,” Julio was forced to apologize when he did not want to do it. He was not willing to admit his defeat.However, the fear made Julio put aside his feelings of shame and dignity. The atmosphere in the room became quiet as he continued his words again.“Actually, I’m just kidding about proposing to Dionne, hahaha! I know you like her. There’s no way I will steal the girl you love.”Rex remained silent while putting on a straight face when he heard what Julio said. He was irritated with that annoying man’s behavior. Take what was happening right now as a joke? What a funny and strange thing when he thought about i
Carlton caught everyone’s attention when he approached Rex. He whispered to his son that he would introduce Rex on the stage. The introduction had been planned beforehand. That was why Rex immediately did what Carlton said. He went on stage with his father.Molly, who was on stage, turned on the mic and gave it to Carlton. She was very happy because today was the day when Carlton would reveal Rex’s true identity.“Hello, good evening everyone,” Carlton used the mic to speak. “Maybe tonight was a bit strange and gave a bad impression because of the unexpected incident. But allow me to introduce someone.”Carlton stopped his speech to put his arm around Rex’s shoulder. “This young man standing beside me is Rex Quillon, my son and sole heir of the Quillon family,” he continued proudly.Hearing what Carlton said, everyone became amazed. They already knew Rex’s real identity. But still, they did not expect Carlton to announce his successor so suddenly.“Gosh, I didn’t think Mr. Carlton wo
Rex’s words surprised them all. A man named Jorge immediately worked up the courage to speak in front of Rex.“What exactly do you want from us?” asked Jorge, confused.Rex grinned as he answered, “I want you all to bully Julio. I want him to feel what he did to me before. He must suffer no matter what. Can you all do what I want?”Hearing that, everyone immediately fell silent. They understood Rex’s intentions. However, they still hesitated to nod in agreement.“We can’t do it because Larry’s influence is strong. Our family is not as rich as his,” Jorge replied honestly.Rex understood what they were afraid of. “Don’t worry. Julio’s father’s company is now destroyed.”Everyone became very surprised for the second time. They did not expect it to come.It turned out that Rex could destroy Julio’s family company in a short time. They thought he was just a kind-hearted guy.But the young man implied that he would crush anyone who got in his way. What a horror. They had to be careful with
The room was still silent for the next few minutes because Rex had said nothing. He still tried to understand the situation. An expression of disbelief was clear on his face.“If you guys aren’t my parents, then who are my real parents?” Rex finally said something. “I’m sure the Quillon family wouldn’t raise a child for no reason.”Carlton felt an ache in his heart when he saw Rex’s face. The day had finally come, the day he had to tell the truth about Rex’s parents. “Listen carefully to what I’m saying because I’m not sure I can repeat this story a second time.”Everyone in the room, except Rex and Dionne, had known about the story. Nonetheless, they kept serious faces and listened carefully to Carlton’s words.“This is a story before you were born, Rex. The Quillon family had two sons. I, Carlton, rule the business world. And Arthur, who rules the underworld with the Q Clan. Arthur is my brother and he’s your real father.”Rex could not give any reaction because he was surprised fr
Alyssa had been silent since earlier because she could not control her emotions. She was worried she would cry when she told Rex about Arthur and Jocelyn. But she had to say something when she found out that Rex was intent on revenge.“You can’t hold grudge against Nolan!” Alyssa said, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. She took a deep breath and then explained the reason why she forbade Rex to take revenge.“When your mother gave you to me, she wanted me to hide the demonic sect incident. Your mother didn’t want you to grow up with a grudge since childhood. She wanted you to live a normal life, like any other child. Therefore, you don’t have to do anything against that demonic sect.”Rex understood Alyssa’s feelings. He understood that his mother wanted to keep Jocelyn’s will. It was his birth mother’s last will. Alyssa would keep the will since it was Jocelyn’s last request.However, Rex would not obey Alyssa this time. He could not stay silent without doing anything
The night turned into day and Rex got ready to go to campus. He was accompanied by a driver and drove a luxury car.Everyone stared at him as he arrived at the campus and got out of the car. Rex immediately scanned the surroundings, still not used to people’s reactions. No one dared to look at him now. They all lowered their heads when Rex looked at them or walked past them. There was no longer any sound of ridicule from people who usually humiliate him.Rex took a deep breath. They must be acting like that because they already knew his identity. He noticed several people blatantly avoiding him.‘They now respect me because I’m a member of the Quillon family.’The fact that people respected his status irritated Rex. However, he tried to be ignorant. He climbed up the stairs to reach his class. People who were sitting or standing on the stairs immediately turned their heads away.Suddenly, one of them bumped into Rex by accident.“P-PLEASE FORGIVE ME!” the man shouted without looking
After the class finished, Rex went to the office he would use to run his business. Some rooms were still empty because the business would officially run next week.Edmund did not go with Rex because he was waiting for Lennart. They both would come together later. Rex came first because he wanted to tidy up the office first.The office was not very large because Rex’s business was small. His parents were concerned about him, who was still in college. They were worried that Rex would not focus on studying because he was taking care of a big business. As a result, Rex was only permitted to build a small business.Rex had just finished cleaning the office when he heard a knock on the door. “The door is unlocked! You can come in,” he shouted, knowing who it was.Not long after, the door was opened by Edmund and Lennart. They waved their hands when they saw Rex walking towards them.“You are finally here.”“Of course. I had promised to help. If your business becomes successful, you will hav
