" Impossible, Mr. Chen! You must be mistaken. This joke has gone too far," exclaimed Quentin, laughing.Mr. Chen remained calm but firm." I am not joking, my son.

Please stop lying !" he retorted.The family members watched the scene tensely but remained silent."Mr. Chen spoke gently." Quentin, I know this is difficult to accept. Many years ago, I had an affair with your mother whom I deeply loved. After that, we parted ways because she married Jackson Reynolds."" Later on, I learned of your birth, but your mother pleaded with me to let the Reynolds be your family. At the time, I agreed because of my attachment to her, but now that I see what this family has done to you, I regret not insisting on raising you and showering you with my love."Quentin's shoulders slumped as Mr. Chen's words hit home."

You are now one of my bodyguards, hired to protect me. Our relationship must remain strictly professional. Never make any illusions beyond that," Quantin continued with determination." And our first kiss last time? It didn't mean anything to you? " she asked timidly, with sad eyes." It was a mistake and it won't happen again.

Do you really believe he's telling the truth ?" Jackson screamed, pointing his finger at Quentin.Quentin remained impassive." Jackson, your despair is getting the best of you. The truth will eventually come out," he said calmly.Richard scoffed," Don't get your hopes up too high, Quentin. No one will believe your lies without proof."Quentin put on a mysterious air and smiled." Who said I don't have any other evidence? "Then he turned to his lawyers."

" Impossible! " exclaimed the judge vehemently as he pounded his fist on the table." How could your grandson, Quentin, have amassed such a fortune in such a short time? There must be something suspicious behind this," he added with insistence.Richard Reynolds gravely nodded his head and replied," Quentin is no longer considered my grandson. Let him be damned forever."" However, I fully agree with you that it is impossible to honestly earn 100 billion in one day. It is therefore likely that he is involved in a scam or money laundering," he continued." Or even worse! " added Jackson Reynolds." What if he's part of a criminal syndicate or a terrorist network? We must uncover the truth as quickly as possible," he suggested." You're absolutely right," the judge agreed." We will hire the best private detectives and investigators in the country to track down this young rascal.

How dare you speak to me like that ? I will crush you to pieces! "Quentin bursts into a cruel laughter." I would love to see you try. I declare war on you and the entire REYNOLDS family, Jackson," he says." You will regret the day you unjustly condemned me for a crime I didn't commit," he adds before the communication is interrupted.In a fit of rage, Jackson smashes his phone against the wall, shattering it into pieces.

She looked more beautiful than ever, dressed in a tight red dress." Well, well, if it isn't Quentin. What a pleasant surprise," she whispered in a voice full of sarcasm.Quentin managed to force a trembling smile." Mirenda. What an unexpected pleasure! "" Indeed, it's unexpected. From what I recall, you could barely afford rent. And now here you are, mingling with royalty and opulence. What a rapid reversal of fortune," she exclaimed with a mocking laugh.Quentin's cheeks flushed with humiliation." I've done rather well for myself, as you can see."" It's evident.
