Chapter 8

Author: Washing Wheat
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."

  • He Claimed My Aunt, I Called His Bluff   Chapter 11

    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

"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

    Hayden and Warner seamlessly tag-teamed and branded me as some kind of male escort.The whispers around the room grew cruder by the second."Flynn looks like a decent young man. How could he do something so shameless?""I remember him. He secured our company's project, and he's definitely got his means. He wrapped our female director completely around his finger, and she voluntarily shaved 3% off our profit margins for him.""Young guys nowadays love taking shortcuts. He's definitely got the looks and clearly knows how to leverage what he's got.""Ugh, please! Call it whatever you want, but he's still selling himself. How did security let someone like him into a prestigious contract signing by Avenel Group?"Hayden shot me a triumphant look and grew more disdainful. "Did you hear that, Flynn? Get the hell out of here before you stain Avenel Group's floors."A piece of trash like you isn't even fit to lick Mom's boots, so how dare you pretend to be my cousin and forge a company s

    The hall instantly fell into a dead silence. Everyone's gazes darted back and forth between Hayden and me."Flynn just said Ms. Belmont is his aunt, which would make him and her son cousins. How could he and Hayden not know each other?""One of them has got to be lying. Who knew that a contract signing event would turn into a real-versus-fake heir drama? This is going to be one hell of a show."Hayden's face went completely pale, and panic flashed briefly across his expression."No way! He must be lying! My cousin lives abroad year-round. If he came back, there's no way I wouldn't have known about it."Besides, Mom's last name is Belmont. How could my cousin be a Calder?"I scoffed and replied, "Can't I take my mom's last name? She suffered severe complications when she had me, and everyone in our circle knows that my dad loved her to death. Not only did he get a vasectomy right after, but he also insisted that his only son take her family name, Calder."That's common knowledge.
