About
Returning to his high school reunion after seven years, Cassius Parker hopes to reconnect with old friends, but instead finds himself the target of cruel mockery. With a government-issued jacket and a taxi ride, he arrives to a sea of luxury cars and familiar faces, only to be met with disdain from Thorne Bennett, his former rival. As laughter echoes around him, Cassius feels the weight of their judgement, each taunt a reminder of his past insecurities.
But behind the facade of wealth and success, Cassius hides a secret. He’s not the nobody they think he is; he’s a respected city official, overseeing major developments in Belmond District. Yet, with his old classmates unwilling to see beyond the superficial, will he find a way to assert his true identity? Or will Thorne and Rowan’s relentless teasing drown out his quiet confidence?
As tensions rise and the stakes heighten, the arrival of Lilith West, the one who got away, promises to change everything. Can Cassius stand his ground as the past collides with the present, or will he be left to navigate a reunion that threatens to shatter his carefully constructed life?
Mocked at Reunion, Until My True Identity Stunned ThemChapter 1
I had been away for seven years. When I finally returned, it was for a field assignment.
By coincidence, a high school reunion was happening at the same time. Despite my current status, I decided to attend; it had been years since I last saw my old classmates.
Everyone seemed to be thriving. Mercedes, BMWs, Audis and luxury cars lined the parking lot like trophies of success.
Unfortunately, the municipal car fleet had suffered a bout of food poisoning that day, leaving me with no choice but to take a taxi to the restaurant. Even my secretary wasn’t with me; I had to keep a low profile, after all.
As luck would have it, my classmates spotted me stepping out of the taxi. Immediately, they started mocking me for studying so much, only to end up without even a car to my name.
Thorne Bennett sauntered over, arriving in a Bugatti Veyron. He clapped me on the shoulder, smirking. "Come work at my company. You have no high position, but I can let you be a janitor. At least that way, you’ll get a car, finally one of us, huh?"
