‘I really have no family.’The thought echoed in Drex’s mind as he lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.His adoptive mother had died a few years earlier in a tragic accident and his father followed not long after, taken by illness. It should have been the end of it.However, they were never his biological parents.Yet fate was cruel enough to take those from him too. His real parents were also dead, leaving him no chance to meet them, no chance to ask the questions that had haunted him since the truth came out.All his biological father, Alexander Knight, had left behind was a future bright enough to change his life. For that, Drex was grateful. But wealth could never replace family, and family had always mattered to him more than anything.Instead, he had lost it on every side.The realization hollowed him out. There were answers only family could give, and now those answers were gone forever.Even the family he thought he had built, the life he believed was real, turned o

“Assistant, wrap this up for me,” the plump woman ordered curtly, not sparing the sales associate a second glance.The saleslady hesitated and looked toward Drex, clearly caught in an awkward position.After all, Drex’s daughter had chosen the dress first and was just about to try it on.“Daddy, I want it too,” Anna pleaded softly, tugging at Drex’s hand as she noticed someone else trying to take it.“I’m sorry,” Drex said calmly, turning his gaze to the woman. “My daughter selected this dress first, and she was about to try it on. Please choose another one.”“Try it on?” the woman scoffed, her eyes sweeping over him with open disdain. “It’s always poor people like you who come in here to touch and try on things you can’t afford, dirtying the clothes in the process.”Drex was dressed simply, and that alone seemed to confirm her judgment that someone like him could never afford clothing from a brand like this.“And how would you know if it fits without trying it on?” Janice snapped sha

“It looks like you’ve overplayed your hand, haven’t you?” the first saleslady mocked when she saw Drex staring blankly into his wallet. “Why aren’t you swiping your card? Go on. What’s stopping you?”From the very beginning, she had been very certain there was no way he could produce even a thousand dollars, let alone six hundred thousand. Not dressed the way he was. Now that he clearly could not find any card to use, she burst into laughter, shaking her head in ridicule.“There are still pathetic men like you? You ought to be ashamed of yourself,” she continued, her laughter ringing louder.The rich couples were finally able to breathe.Truthfully, the confidence in Drex’s eyes earlier had given them a fright.Afterall, they had made bold promises that as long as Drex was able to buy all the clothes in the store, one of them would kneel and apologize while the other would kneel and lick his shoes.Of course, there had never been any real intention of honoring those words. It would h

The moment the middle-aged couple met Drex’s piercing gaze, their faces drained of color, leaving them pale and shaking.Now, it wasn’t about whether Drex had proven them wrong anymore because their concern had shifted entirely. They were now more terrified of who he truly was and what he might do to them.If Drex was indeed an important person within Knight Group, even the slightest whim of his could cause their lives to fall apart completely, and the thought alone made their hearts pound in their chests. Should he decide to retaliate, there would be a legion of people ready to do his bidding, eager to curry favor and crush anyone who stood in his way."I remember,” Drex said, said, a subtle smirk playing across his lips. “both of you said that one of you would kneel down to apologize and the other would kneel down to lick my shoes if I could afford to buy all the clothes in this store.”The couple froze, their blood running cold. The very thing they had dreaded most was now unfold

Drex let out a cold sneer as he looked at the furious faces aimed at him and the anger twisting their expressions only amused him. For a moment, he simply stood there and enjoyed it.Money-hungry hypocrites. They had always treated him like a fool, and now they were outraged that he refused to play along with what they wanted.“Have you completely lost your mind?!” Martha shrieked, storming toward him. “How dare you destroy something like that?”Drex lifted a brow lazily. “How dare I? Last time I checked, the card was mine. I can do whatever I want with what belongs to me. And Father was right anyway. What exactly do I need it for?”Angela instinctively bent down, as if to salvage the crushed card, but Drex stepped forward and ground it under his shoe until it was nothing more than warped scrap. She froze, her eyes reddening as though she might burst into tears.Clutching Steven’s arm dramatically, she sniffed. “You have such a vicious brother-in-law.”Steven’s jaw tightened, the mus
