Chapter 3 - The Unrecognized Billionaire
While Beatrice was wiping the cold water from her face, screeching for venue security to escort Valeria out, a distinguished sixty-year-old man in a dark grey suit walked into the banquet hall.
It was Arthur—Valeria's father.
Arthur was accompanied by three senior corporate executives in tailored suits, including the chief managing partner of Apex Capital—Marcus's ultimate boss.
Marcus had been trying to schedule a five-minute meeting with the chief managing partner for over eight months to secure a crucial promotion, but he had been repeatedly turned away.
As Marcus raised his voice to yell at Valeria, his corporate boss suddenly brushed straight past Marcus, completely ignoring him.
The boss walked up to Arthur, lowering his head in a deep, respectful bow before extending his hand with warm reverence.
"Chairman Arthur, what an honor to have you at our table!" the corporate boss announced, his voice carrying over the ballroom's sound system.
Marcus froze in his tracks. His face drained of all color, his eyes widening in pure horror as he looked at Arthur, then at Valeria.
Beatrice’s arrogant shrieks died in her throat. She gripped the back of a golden chair, her hands trembling violently.
