She couldn't wrap her head around the fact that Mr. Radcliffe was speaking to her, let alone bearing a resemblance to Eric. However, she pushed aside her confusion and managed a grateful smile."Thank you, Mr. Radcliffe. We'll do our very best with the projects, starting with the $50 million investment from Enermig."Gasps rippled through the crowd at the mention of the substantial investment in the small Walter Group.

The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 34: His Games (I)
Eric received an unexpected invitation to a dinner date from Maria Bolton, the influential CEO of a prominent company in the city. He remembered her nice treatment during her auction event, where he had attended as Mr. Radcliffe. Grateful for her hospitality, Eric accepted the invitation, though he had ulterior motives.Arriving at the exclusive venue named "The Aristocrat's Haven," Eric chose not to don his Mr. Radcliffe persona. Instead, he dressed in tattered clothes, deliberately adopting the appearance of someone out of place in such grand surroundings.As he approached the entrance, the guards raised an eyebrow at his disheveled appearance."Hold on there, buddy. This place is for the elites. You seem to be in the wrong place," the first guard told Eric."Yeah, did you miss the sign?" And this was from the second guard.Eric cleared his throat, maintaining his composure. "I'm here to see Maria Bolton. She sent for me."The guards exchanged amused glances before bursting into la

The manager asked in a stern tone.The guards stammered, attempting to explain their actions, their faces flushed with fear and embarrassment."Y-yes, sir. He came looking like a pauper, so we—"Before he could finish, the manager's hand came down hard on his shoulder, cutting him off."You fools! That was Mr. Radcliffe himself! You've brought shame upon Aristocrat Haven!" The manager yelled in exasperation.The guards' faces drained of color as the weight of their mistake sank in. The manager's words echoed in their ears as he delivered their punishment."You're both

As Eric rode his scooter towards Enermig the next day, he kept his head down, trying to blend in with the crowd. Suddenly, a black car swerved into his path, knocking him off his scooter and onto the ground. Pain shot through his arm as he groaned and clutched it, blood staining his shirt from the bruises.As Eric raised his head, he saw Mr. Skarsgard, his ex-wife's boyfriend, approaching him with a sneer on his face. "Well, well, if it isn't Eric Radcliffe. Still riding that trashed scooter, I see," Mr Skarsgard mocked him.Eric glared at him, his jaw clenched with anger, "Watch yourself, Skarsgard. You'll pay for this."Mr. Skarsgard laughed, his voice dripping with scorn."Pay for what? For humiliating me at Mr. Walter's birthday bash? For getting me kicked out like a nobody?"Eric's fists clenched at his sides as Mr. Skarsgard's words stung him.But before he could respond, Mr. Skarsgard insulted him even further, mocking his status compared to his own.Enraged, Eric vowed silent

The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 38: A Frightened Candidate

Fear gripped her as she realized the imminent danger she and her family faced.But as the hitmen drew closer, they suddenly paused, their eyes widening in surprise as they spotted Sarah's bodyguards stationed outside. With a muttered curse, they exchanged wary glances before hesitantly backing away, disappearing into the shadows.Sarah's hands trembled as she clutched her phone, her heart pounding with fear. She dialed Mr. Radcliffe's number with shaking fingers, praying that he would answer.When Eric picked up, his voice was calm and reassuring, but Sarah could barely speak.

The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 39: Warning
As Eric entered the dimly lit club, the atmosphere was heavy with the stench of alcohol and the sound of murmured conversations. In a secluded corner, Martin Skarsgard sat, nursing a drink and cursing vehemently under his breath. "Damn Radcliffe! If it weren't for him, Sarah Martinez would've been out of the picture by now. The election would've been postponed, and I would've had more time to deal with her," Martin Skarsgard was beyond frustrated.His friend, sitting beside him, nodded at this."Yeah, it's messed up. But hey, didn't Radcliffe have a hand in picking Martinez to run against you?" The man asked, seemingly curious.Martin Skarsgard's scowl deepened as he took another sip of his drink."That's what makes it even worse. Radcliffe is playing dirty, using Martinez as a pawn to spite me," he replied and clenched the glass of vodka he was holding.Skarsgard's friend leaned in, his voice hushed."You ever crossed paths with Radcliffe before? Maybe there's some history between y
