Alan let out a bitter laugh. I cried so much when I was eight that it feels like I used up all my tears for a lifetime.Juliet grabbed his arm with both hands, her eyes red. Brother Alan, you’ve suffered so much all these years...Alan smiled faintly. They say suffering is a blessing. I didn’t believe it once, but I do now.Alan felt that the greatest turning point in his life was not being found by Kendall again, but accidentally obtaining the True Essence Scripture. Without the True Essence Scripture, even as the young master of the Smith family, he might never have attained the extraordinary strength he possesses today.What’s more, all the respect he has earned now is not because of the title young master of the Smith family, but through his own strength—and this is crucial!Across the country, there are countless wealthy and powerful families, and an even larger number of second-generation heirs with lofty status. But how many of these heirs have earned the respect of everyone th

Alan watched her every move.He knew Aunt Lee must be hiding the truth.So he looked at her and asked seriously, Aunt Lee, if I’m not mistaken… you know I’m the young master of the Smith family in Neon City, don’t you?At these words, the pen in Aunt Lee’s hand clattered to the floor.Alan thought she would stand up to pick it up, but instead she bent over, stepped around the desk, and dropped to her knees in front of him with a thud.Alan cried out, Aunt Lee, what are you doing—Aunt Lee kowtowed to the ground, weeping bitterly, Young master, I have let you down…The word young master struck Alan like lightning.He felt as if his heart had been hammered by a huge force. He stepped back involuntarily and asked in shock, Aunt Lee… you…Aunt Lee looked up, tears streaming down her face, and sobbed, Young master, I have always known your identity. To be honest, I am actually a servant of the Smith family. I was of low status back then and never got the chance to serve the main family in

As soon as Kendall finished speaking, his phone suddenly vibrated on the desk.It was Alan calling.He quickly wiped away his tears, composed himself, and answered the phone respectfully, Young Master!By now, Alan had wheeled his electric scooter out of the orphanage. Standing by the roadside at the gate, he held the phone and said, Butler Kendall, thank you for all these years.Kendall hurriedly replied, Young Master, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.Alan said, I just left the Pless City Orphanage.Kendall laughed and said, So you’ve returned to the orphanage, Young Master. After all, that’s where you grew up; you must have deep feelings for it.Alan said calmly, All right, stop pretending. Aunt Lee has told me everything. You were the one who asked her to save me back then, and you arranged for the entire Pless City Orphanage to protect me. I will always remember this kindness.Kendall then let out a soft sigh. Young Master, you know it all now?Yes, I do. That’s why

Now that she knew all this, she couldn’t exactly say she had been dragged into the mess, but she could no longer stay uninvolved either.She was now part of this circle and had to follow the orders of the Smith family.So she made up her mind to do as the director told her and go to Canada to recuperate for the time being.As for Rachel, Aunt Lee did not tell her the truth. She only said that the kind benefactor who had funded her medical treatment was now sponsoring her to go abroad to rest for a while. Since she had no other family, she hoped Rachel would go with her.Rachel regarded Aunt Lee as her own mother, so she agreed without hesitation. She also began packing her luggage, ready to go abroad with her.Aunt Lee planned to tell Rachel everything once they arrived in Canada.Alan rode his electric scooter to his wife’s studio. As soon as he stepped inside, Mia asked in surprise, Honey, why are your eyes so red?Really?Alan rubbed his eyes with both hands and smiled. Some wind a

He had been Father’s good brother. Over the years, he had not only visited his parents’ graves during every festival but also never relaxed or given up searching for him. Alan was determined to repay this kindness.Besides, he could take this opportunity to meet Kendall in Neon City and get more clues and information from him.So this trip to Neon City would take at least several days.To leave home without raising his wife’s suspicions, the best excuse was to accept Juliet’s invitation to check the feng shui at her family’s residence in Neon City.With Juliet making the invitation in person in front of his wife, Mia would not suspect a thing.Seeing Mia agree so readily, Juliet nodded happily and said with a smile, I didn’t expect you to be so agreeable, Ms. Mia. I was worried you might not approve.Mia quickly said, Miss Juliet, I’m only too glad that you recognize my husband’s ability. How could I disagree? I just hope you’ll forgive him if he falls short in any way.Not at all! Ju
