Vincent's Other Identity (1)

Vincent couldn't comprehend his cousin's nature ever since he heard the heartless plan from the man. As far as he knew, his cousin's character was very affectionate. Well, even though Ben wouldn't help anyone he didn't know, at least he would always help family members without hesitation.

Not only Ben, Vanessa, and Vincent will do the same. This trait has been built since childhood, thanks to the upbringing of Vienna, Vincent's mother.

Benjamin did have parents in his youth. It's just that his father doesn't love him, while his mother was always busy taking care of the family business. That's why Ben often spends time at Regnz's residence.

Vincent knew very well that Paxton was a prestigious family in the world's top ten wealthiest people. And he knew what kind of selfishness, arrogance, and pride each Paxton member displays.

For him, only Benjamin Paxton did not fall into their ugly category. He had heard many times, between fellow Paxtons, that they seized each other and took over his brother's business.

He even heard some of them tried any opportunity to sabotage Benjamin's project. They will not care if their brother falls into debt and starves to death.

Knowing this, Vincent's parents agreed to support Ben in building a hotel. This way, if Ben wanted to give up his inheritance and didn't want to get involved in Paxton's tricky play, Ben would still have his assets.

But the man's words that he did not want to help James Paxton shocked him beyond the words. He thought Benjamin would not want to get involved nor made an enemy inside his own family.

This sentence made him very surprised. Is it true that the man in front of him right now is his cousin whom he has known? Why did his cousin turn out to have a cold heart?

"You're the only one who can help me."

Vincent could hear the despair in his cousin's voice, making him sigh.

"If I do, I'll involve the whole Regnz family, and again... I don't have that much money. You know that too."

"Right, you don't. But V has."

That's when Vincent's face stiffened.

His identity as V is very secret, plus the income and assets that V collection has are also strictly confidential. So, why does this cousin seem so confident that V can afford to buy a large portion of Payton's stock?

"Are you investigating me?" accused Vincent, barely believing his own question.

The two of them were just cousins, but they grew up together so that their relationship was more like siblings.

Because of that, it would be bizarre if his cousin had investigated him. Which kind of brother investigate his sibling's work and background? Vincent did not like it.

"No. I just heard from some of my friends. I heard that V took over several branches of the company that almost went bankrupt. Not only that, there were some of them giving away their property as payment for V's services, although I don't know what kind of services. It seemed you are not ordinary cameramen, do you?"

Vincent sighed, unable to argue.

"It seems that the present V is much richer and more powerful than a Vincent Regnz. If your parents knew that they must be very proud of you."

"No. You can't tell them." it would be bad if his family found out his identity. Not only that... people who see V as an enemy will attack his family's business if his identity is exposed.

"Besides, how did you know I was V?"

Ben smiled triumphantly at him, making Vincent flinched on the spot. He just got into his cousin's trap.

"I just guessed it, and you told me just now."

Vincent massaged his forehead with his right hand. Until whenever, no matter how carefully he acted or spoke, he could never win at his cousin's pun.

"Vincent, do you like that place?"

Vincent glanced at his cousin, confused by their change of topic?

"What place?"

"Veliki on the mountain, the villa. Did not you live there a few weeks ago?"

"Ah, that. Yes, I really like it. I even want to go there again if you allow it."

"No need. The place is now yours."

Hearing this, Vincent was speechless.

"Are you trying to bribe me?"

Benjamin smiled before answering with complete confidence. "No. I'm trying to bribe V to grant me two things."

Once again, Vincent massaged his forehead, which started to feel hot. He knew once his cousin wanted something, nothing could stop him.

He could have refused... but that place... that villa .. that calm atmosphere... he couldn't help but admit that he was tempted by the offer of the cunning man in front of him.

Besides... even if he did want to help her cousin, he didn't want to involve Regnz. He was sure that Benjamin would have liked the same thing.

Therefore, using his other identity, the Regnz will not be involved, and Benjamin will also not be charged by other Paxton members.

After thinking about this carefully, he finally agreed to it.

"Fine, I'll do it. But don't tell anyone about V.'s identity."

"Of course. I hope you don't appear in your gallery often anymore. You know, your photos are scattered everywhere. If you were a little creative, maybe I would never guess that you were V."

"Huh?"

"Vincent and V collection. Your closest people will immediately guess you are V."

Geez... So because of that, the tigress could guess right away that he was V?!

Vincent clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"V is not an abbreviation of my name. V stands for Victory. I'm sure there are already explanations in some magazines." he protested, only causing his cousin to chuckle in amusement.

"Ah, Victory. I think I read it somewhere, but I forget it," replied Ben with an innocent smile.

Vincent snorted, giving up on arguing at his cousin, who now had his usual mischievous face.

"I don't want to argue with you anymore. So what's the second thing?"

Benjamin's grin went wider, hearing his cousin's question.
