Chapter 693 The Abandoned Son

Day Seventy-Four...

~~*****~~

The Grand Ballroom of the prestigious Golden Royale Hotel was adorned with decorations and shimmering lights, setting the stage for the extravagant 50th-anniversary celebration of SYP Twilight Corporation.

VIP guests, board members, directors, and employees in their finest attire filled the hall, creating an atmosphere brimming with anticipation and sophistication.

A massive banner, proclaiming "Celebrating 50 Years of Innovation and Success," graced the stage, a testament to the company's remarkable journey and achievements.

The air was filled with an aura of pride and accomplishment as the guests mingled, exchanging congratulatory remarks and sharing anecdotes of their association with the esteemed corporation.

Old Man Xu requested the event organizers to invite actors, actresses, and musicians who would entertain everyone while waiting for the program to start.

A famous band was now playing on the stage, filling the hall with lively music.

Old Man Xu checked his time. Thirty minutes left before the program began but his son and his grandson were not yet around.

He decided to call Nathan, asking him about their whereabouts.

"Where are you now? We can't start without you. We will launch our new project and commemorate your mother's legacy. You and my grandson should be here by now." Old Man Xu's impatience could be heard in his voice.

"Relax, Dad. We are on our way now." Nathan reassured his father. He was the one driving the car. Jane accompanied them. But she won't enter the venue with Nathan. She didn't want to catch people's attention. She would simply sneak into the hall and watch the event. But she won't show up as Nathan's date.

"Don't keep our guests waiting." Old Man Xu reminded him.

"I know, Dad. No need to tell me."

"What is he doing here? Who invited him?" Nathan mumbled to himself, his gaze following Vincent's every move.

Ethan, on the other hand, reflexively looked around, searching for Jane. He was worried that Vincent would create trouble.

Old Man Xu raised his eyebrow as he watched Vincent, walking closer to him. He didn't know him at all. And who the hell is he? He called his son and grandson to join him, not a random stranger.

The guests also focused their attention on the man who had a strong aura. They were curious about his identity. This was their first time seeing him. They were also confused that he went to the stage instead of Nathan and Ethan.

"Who are you?" Old Man Xu asked Vincent the moment he reached his spot. Though puzzled, the old man maintained his smile. The guests were watching them.

Vincent sneered at Old Man Xu before motioning for the host to hand the microphone over to him. Mesmerized by Vincent's gorgeousness, the host obediently gave the microphone to him.

"You called your son to come up here... so I joined you. Because... I'm your son," Vincent proclaimed, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the air.

"The son you once abandoned, overlooked, and chose not to recognize," his voice quivered with raw emotion.

"The very same son you turned away due to your self-centeredness." Each word carried a torrent of suppressed feelings, years of hurt and neglect surfacing in that poignant moment.

Old Man Xu stood frozen, his weathered face etched with a mix of astonishment and disbelief as Vincent's revelation about their father-son relationship resonated in the air. The wrinkled lines of his countenance seemed to deepen, revealing the turmoil within him, his eyes wide in shock, unable to process the truth laid bare before him.

Memories of the past suddenly came back to his mind. A certain boy together with his mother sought his presence, begging him to acknowledge him as his son.

The crowd surrounding them mirrored varying degrees of surprise, their murmurs fading into a stunned silence. Gasps escaped from some, while others exchanged incredulous glances, unable to comprehend the depth of the revelation that had just unfolded.

"Is this true? Nathan Sparks has a brother. Who is older between them?"

"Oh my gosh! Look at them. I can see the resemblance between the two! This guy might be telling the truth."

The gravity of Vincent's words hung in the atmosphere, causing a collective hush to descend upon the once bustling scene.

"Why don't you introduce me to my brother? He deserves to know my existence... my very existence proves your betrayal to his mother." Vincent spoke up while eyeing Nathan mockingly.Thi/s chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m
