Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(troubled)
Reggie...what's wrong with you...when did I say I disowned you...
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

Reginald Gresley(ML)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
That kid will only become your mistress or whatever...you will be taking the daughter of Mr.Roland as your wife...
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(confused)

Reginald Gresley(ML)
(turns around to leave)
Reginald Gresley(ML)
Pops....before coming here....I wanted to give you one last chance....
Reginald Gresley(ML)
but you really disappoint me pops...
Reginald Gresley(ML)
After all these years...I thought you might've understood why you lost mum...
Reginald Gresley(ML)
But you proved me wrong today...
Reginald Gresley(ML)
thank you....you made it clear...
Reginald Gresley(ML)
I also don't matter to you...just like mum....
Reginald Gresley(ML)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
Reggie...what are you saying?...I would never...to..you...
Reginald Gresley(ML)
(cold tone)
Mr. Arnold....I hope you agree with the terms in the document....I hope for a successful collaboration...
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

Reginald Gresley(ML)
Thank you...I'll see myself off
(walks away with long strides)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(stumps to his chair)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(feels pang in his heart...when his dear son doesn't address him pops anymore)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(looking into the document....all the blood left his face)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
H..how!!...how can I agree...to this...Reggie!!?...(clutches his fist)
Brennon (ML secretary)
(concerned)
Re...are you serious about this?
Reginald Gresley(ML)
(👉already feeling bad...for shouting n making his dad recollect the past)
Reginald Gresley(ML)
it's the last chance I give him....
Reginald Gresley(ML)
If he agrees to that...I'll never have anything to do with him...
(melancholy)
Brennon (ML secretary)
what? but...that's what the agreement is about....isn't...
Brennon (ML secretary)
isn't it about cutting all ties n disowning each other...
(baffled)
Reginald Gresley(ML)
(smiles lil sad)
yes....if he agrees....that means he doesn't need me anymore...
Brennon (ML secretary)
(feels sad for reginald)
then..why did you agree to marry...if he accepts the terms?
Brennon (ML secretary)
Don't you think it's quite contradictory to the terms you put.....
Reginald Gresley(ML)
If he were to agree.....as his son....that's the last thing I can do for him...
Reginald Gresley(ML)
Afterall...that alliance mattered to him more than me...
Reginald Gresley(ML)
that will be my parting gift....
Brennon (ML secretary)
*don't know what else to say*
