Richard turned his head, searching for his wife. This was a full gathering of the Collins family, one of, if not the most powerful families in Riverdale City. Their influence came from the healthcare industry: they owned chains of hospitals, controlled pharmaceutical production, and dominated almost every corner of the medical field.Richard was married to Fiona, one of Mr. Collins’s granddaughters. Tonight’s party was to celebrate another milestone. Everyone was with their partners,except Richard, who couldn’t find his wife.He walked through the hall, wondering where she could be, checking every corner until he reached the restroom.“Ohh… Derek, fuck me harder,go faster… yeah, yeah…” A woman’s voice moaned from inside. Richard froze. The sounds of sex echoed from behind the door. Disgust rose in him, and he was about to turn away,“Ahh, you are stronger than that weak jerk Richard. Yes,deeper!”.Richard’s heart stopped. His name. He heard his name. And the voice,he immediately rec

Richard couldn’t believe this was happening to him. He had sacrificed his knowledge, his career..everything..for the family and their company. Because he loved Fiona so much, he gave up his own ambitions, became her husband, and devoted himself entirely to supporting her career. And now they were discarding him for it.Thinking back, he realized what a fool he had been. But he wouldn’t back down. Pointing at them, he said, “Everything you’ve achieved in this family comes down to me! Even tonight’s celebration happened because of me. Yet you stand by my wife’s cheating and shame me openly!”.Mr. Collins scoffed, his tone dripping with disdain. “This is what I love about poor people. You give them hope, and they’ll do anything for you. Look, Fiona’s cheating didn’t start today…we’ve been at it for a long time! We only used you for your brain and your knowledge. That’s it. You never mattered. To me, you were nothing but an asset, and now your usefulness is over.”The words nearly drove

Richard just stood there, unable to find the right words. He looked around once more, and everything still felt like a script to him.“I’m sorry if I caused any misunderstanding,” he said slowly, “but I’m very sure you’ve got the wrong person. I’m not the one you’re looking for.”The man shook his head. “Yes, you are.” He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a pendant…broken in half.“This pendant was with your necklace. We found it in the car wreckage.”Richard frowned and instinctively touched the necklace around his neck.The necklace had been with Richard for as long as he could remember. He never knew how it came into his life. he simply grew up with it, as though it had always belonged to him.With trembling hands, he unclasped it from his neck. Slowly, he took the half pendant the man had given him and pressed the two pieces together. They fit perfectly. One whole.The man bowed deeply. “I am Mr. Zoe. I am here to serve you, young master. Welcome back home.”Richard

Richard was flaring with anger as he stepped forward, “This clothes is mine. Fiona, I am not the person you think I am again!” .“Oh my God,” Fiona gasped loudly, her voice carrying across the showroom. “You actually think you can buy this car? Hahaha… this is too rich. Look at you, Richard..did you even eat today? you always washed my mom's feet and mine, until this yesterday ” She leaned closer, her voice sharp, drawing the attention of several staff and showroom visitors. “Yesterday, we divorced because you are just… poor! And now..now you want a Lamborghini? A Lamborghini! Hah! You must be joking.”Frederick laughed, low and derisive. “Seriously, this is insane. Do you have any idea how much this costs? Stop embarrassing yourself.”Richard’s lips curled into a slow, calm smile. “I can… and I will buy it.”Fiona’s laugh turned louder, almost hysterical. “Oh, please! Feet washer! Can you just shut up already with your delusions”.The crowd in the showroom had started to gather, c

Richard eased the Lamborghini out of the garage, the engine purring like a beast straining against its chains. Heads turned instantly. Cameras flashed. This wasn’t just any car. This was the newest Lamborghini model, only five people in the entire world currently owned it. And now, Richard was one of them.The crowd outside erupted in murmurs of awe, voices chasing after the sleek machine as it took the exit.Waiting there, was Mr. Zoe.Richard stepped out, adjusting his jacket. Mr. Zoe immediately moved forward, bowing slightly. “I’m sorry for arriving late. Something urgent came up, I had to speak with them. Forgive me.”Before he could lower himself fully, Richard reached forward, firmly catching him by the collar. He straightened him up. “You don’t need to bow all the time, old man. It’s not good for your back. And honestly, it looks awkward.”From a distance, hidden among the crowd, Fiona grabbed Frederick’s arm, her eyes wide. “Look, look! That must be the real owner of the c
