"Well then," Archibald Lathwyn, Rex's grandfather continues. "Care to share with me your experience in the world without your background backing and how's your girl doing? You left us because of her. I hope you two now have kids. Hehehe, I will be a great grandfather."

Rex, who was seated at the very end of the hall where limited scrutiny would be on him, spoke softly as he looked at Oliver engaging Silvia in a vibrant conversation and making her laugh once a while. At times he couldn't help but wonder how easily it was for Oliver to make a girl speak freely to him.Meanwhile dressed in a less expensive suit, Rex sat with a glass of wine as he scanned the hall, patiently waiting for one distinct guest's arrival.

He couldn't comprehend how this person he thought was a poor boy suddenly turned out to have such a powerful identity. This made his thoughts a jumbled mess of confusion and disbelief.
