“Don’t be angry. Sebastian is nothing more than a gaudy, ineffectual buffoon! Tell Mr. Blanc this—after such a monumental loss today, how can we simply allow it to slide? We must retaliate!”

Victor’s eyes widened in disbelief. *So, this was the reality behind Sebastian’s so-called brilliance?*

Ignoring the agonizing pain that surged through his body, he forced himself to sit up on the hospital bed, determination igniting within him. “I knew it! How could that coward ever possess the kind of charisma to overshadow my father? It was all just a facade, wasn’t it? Fine, I understand now. I’ll return at once.”

“Alright, Victor, we’ll be waiting for your return!”

As the call ended, a dark cloud settled over Victor’s expression, yet uncontrollable bursts of manic laughter bubbled up from deep within him. It was no surprise that his father had predicted Sebastian would soon become a pivotal figure in their world.

The truth unraveled before him; all those grand projects had originated from the minds of former employees at Baron Inc. In reality, what his father cherished was not Sebastian, that worthless charlatan, but Baron Inc. itself.

If that was indeed the case, why not unmask Sebastian and demonstrate his own value in front of Lawrence?

Victor’s resolve solidified. Even the pain that had once consumed him began to dissipate, overshadowed by a rising tide of determination.

He muttered under his breath, “Dad, even you misjudged him. What key player? Sebastian is nothing more than refuse! I’ll prove to you just how he measures up against me!”

With that, Victor began to prepare for his departure from the hospital.

However, as he stepped out of the ward, he was met by the formidable presence of the family bodyguards, who swiftly blocked his path.

Looking visibly troubled, they spoke with urgency. “Sir, your father has ordered us not to let you leave until you’ve fully recovered. Please, don’t make this difficult for us.”
