At the company's gathering, everyone has the right to order for themselves. When it's my turn, however, the new intern, Hayden Belmont, snatches the menu from me. "The order's complete, so there's no need to order anything else." I merely ignore Hayden as I tell the server, "I'd like some continental herb-baked snails, please." But Hayden slams the menu at my face while glaring at me angrily. "I said you're not allowed to order! Who do you think you are, huh?" The hard edge of the menu leaves a scratch on my face. Blazing pain is all I feel at the moment, which fuels my temper even more. So, I pick up the menu and throw it back at Hayden's face. He's quick to shriek and yell at me in fury. "Do you have any idea who I am? My mom is Natasha Belmont, the biggest client of this company! Even the CEO has to show some respect to me, and yet you have the nerve to lay a finger on me? "I'll have your 800-thousand-dollar bonus canceled right away! Soon, the entire industry will blacklist you!" I'm stunned, to say the least. My biological aunt, Natasha Belmont, has been single for 40 years. Since when does she have a grown-up son?

As Warner spoke, he wired the full 800-thousand-dollar bonus to me on the spot.He nearly made me throw up in disgust.Even at this point, he was still dreaming about partnering with Avenel Group. The sheer audacity made me desperate to know how someone could be this thick-skinned.Staring straight at him, I asked, "Mr. Maxwell, you don't honestly think I canceled the partnership just because I was bitter over 800 thousand dollars, do you?"He froze, and his voice completely lost its edge as he stammered, "I-Is that not it?" Before I could respond, Aunt Natasha said, "Of course not. Flynn holds 20% of Avenel Group's shares and receives hundreds of millions of dollars in annual dividends."As the only son of the Calders, he'll inherit a fortune worth tens of billions of dollars."800 thousand dollars is less than a tenth of his monthly allowance. What makes you think he cares about that money?"Warner's face flushed red. He was so regretful that he wanted nothing but to slap hi

"But you, Caelum Hugh," I continued. "You've always pretended to be innocent, naive, and pitiful. Aunt Natasha felt sorry for you, so she wrote you that recommendation letter."That day, she did you a favor by giving you a ride to your internship, yet you used her kindness to spread lies!"Hayden's face turned paler until it was completely ash-gray."I-I genuinely see Ms. Belmont as my mom. I've looked up to her ever since I was a young boy, and I wasn't lying. Mom… I mean, Ms. Belmont, please trust me. I really want to be your son."Aunt Natasha threw him a disgusted glare and solemnly said, "If Flynn hadn't told me everything, I'd still have no idea you've been using my name to pick on others and throw your weight around."If you were truly struggling and helpless, the Belmonts could easily afford to support you. I would even be willing to help you achieve your dreams."But Caelum, you had the audacity to target my most beloved nephew. You've completely disappointed me and seve

"Ms. Belmont, we offended Mr. Calder only because we were trying to protect your son's reputation. Please consider our kind intentions and let us off the hook."More people bowed and apologized to me, not because they genuinely realized their mistakes, but because they were terrified of the Belmont family's power.After all, with the Belmont family's status as Tidehaven's wealthiest tycoon, they could effortlessly bankrupt any of the so-called elite families with a snap of their fingers.Aunt Natasha shifted her gaze toward Hayden. Cold sweat poured down his face, and he trembled uncontrollably.Shrinking back in fear, he whimpered out a weak "Mom".There wasn't a shred of warmth in Aunt Natasha's eyes as she stared him down."Caelum Hugh, didn't I make it clear that you're not supposed to call me that? Have you forgotten what happened to the others?"Hayden snapped his head up. Color instantly drained from his face as he frantically shook his head."No, Mom… I mean, Ms. Belmon

Hayden picked up his phone again to show everyone a few more photos, but none of them were private photos of him and Natasha. They were all group shots of several people."These were taken when Mom and I went to an orphanage for a charity donation," he explained. "This is more than enough proof that she's my mom, isn't it?"Someone in the crowd said, "Ms. Belmont is indeed very passionate about charity. I heard she's sponsored many underprivileged students, and she's very kind-hearted.""Looking at it this way, Hayden must really be her son."Hayden shot me a provocative smirk. "You're no match for me, Flynn. I'm getting the contract signed today."He turned to Warner and anxiously urged, "What are you waiting for? Let's sign it now!"With that, he dragged Warner and rushed him toward the signing table."Hold it!" I coldly called out and reached out to block his path.Looking at him, I let out a cold laugh. "A few photos can't prove anything. Let's call the cops so they can inv

My heart felt like it was rolled across a bed of ice picks, freezing and stinging with pain.My colleagues walked me out of the office and offered me words of comfort.With tears brimming in her eyes, Isabel said, "You're incredibly talented, Flynn. You'll thrive wherever you go."Don't let Hayde

My message might seem like a compliant confession to my mistakes, but it hit the company group chat like a drop of cold water plunged into a pan of searing oil.On the surface, it looked like submission, but in reality, it carried every ounce of an employee's disappointment toward the company.I i

Hayden made no effort to hide the contempt on his face as he coldly continued, "As for me, my identity as the son of Natasha Belmont, CEO of Avenel Group, is enough to crush you so hard that you can never stand on your feet again!"I stared at him and wondered where all his confidence came from. Fo

When Hayden Belmont noticed that I was stunned silent, he grew even more brazen."What's the matter? Scared? A gigolo like you only hits your targets by living off your looks. You're polluting the air just by showing up to the dinner, so how could you think you deserve to order dishes?"Living off
