For several moments after Victor revealed that Margaret was his mother and he was his father, Alex simply stood there in silence.His mind was in complete turmoil. Everything had changed within the span of a few minutes. For twenty-two years, he had believed he was alone in the world. There had been times when he watched other children spending time with their families and wished he had someone waiting for him whenever he returned home. But there was no one.Now after all this years, all of a sudden, he had found his father.The feeling was difficult to describe. There was confusion, disbelief, and shock, but beneath all of it was a profound sense of joy. It felt as though he had finally found something that had been missing his entire life.Victor, however, did not have mixed feelings.The old man was completely overwhelmed with emotion. His eyes were red, tears continuously streamed down his face, and before anyone could say another word, he stepped forward and pulled Alex into a t

Alex remained seated on the couch, his mind in complete turmoil."Jacob Foster?"The name echoed repeatedly inside his head.Could it really be the same Jacob Foster?The father of Daniel Foster?If that was truly Daniel's father... then what on earth was he doing here?Alex frowned deeply, unable to make sense of it.Just moments ago, he had learned that Victor was his biological father. He was still trying to process that life-changing revelation, yet another mystery had suddenly presented itself.Meanwhile, Victor remained completely oblivious to the confusion inside his son's mind.He looked toward the guard standing respectfully at the entrance."What is Mr. Foster doing here?" Victor asked calmly. "I don't recall scheduling any meeting with him today."The guard bowed slightly."I apologize, sir. I do not know the reason. Mr. Foster only said he wished to request an audience with you."Victor nodded thoughtfully."I see."There was a brief silence before he spoke again."Very we

Alex held the expensive fountain pen tightly in his hand as the first document lay open before him on the table.For several long seconds, his eyes remained fixed on the signature line without moving.It was the kind of thing Alex had only ever seen in movies.He slowly took a deep breath before lowering the tip of the pen toward the first document.However, his hand froze in midair.Alex slowly raised his head and looked at him. "Are you... absolutely sure? I mean... once I sign these documents there is no going back. I just want to make sure that you fully understand what you're about to do.”The room suddenly became quiet.Victor looked directly into Alex's eyes, and the smile on his face slowly faded into a more serious expression."Alex, I have never been more certain of anything in my entire life. He nodded toward the documents lying on the table."Go ahead and sign them."Finally, Alex lowered the pen toward the document.This time, he did not stop.He slowly wrote his signatu

Jerry's heart pounded violently against his chest as he hurried farther into the room."No... no..." he muttered under his breath, his voice trembling with panic. "Young Master?"His voice echoed throughout the enormous bedroom, but there was no response.His anxiety immediately intensified.Without wasting another second, Jerry hurried behind the luxurious sitting area, hoping Alex might somehow be there.There was no one."Oh no..." he whispered, his face turning pale.Without another second of hesitation, he spun around and sprinted out of the room as fast as his legs could carry him.The servants standing nearby turned to look at him in surprise.They had worked beside Jerry for years, yet none of them had ever seen the normally calm, collected, and composed assistant looking so frightened and disorganized.He hurried toward the grand staircase and practically flew down it two steps at a time.Meanwhile...Victor sat peacefully downstairs on one of the couches.A freshly brewed cu

The shrill sound of Alex's alarm suddenly filled the luxurious bedroom with its persistent ringing.Alex's eyes flew open immediately.For a few brief seconds, he simply lay there staring blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling above him. His mind was still foggy from sleep, and he couldn't immediately remember where he was.Then, in an instant, everything came rushing back. He wasn't in his own house, he was in Victor Hale's mansion.His eyes widened as panic surged through him.Without wasting another second, he shot upright in bed and snatched his phone from the bedside table. The moment the screen lit up, his eyes locked onto the time displayed there.His heart nearly stopped."Oh my goodness!" he cried.He practically threw the blanket aside and jumped out of bed so quickly that his feet became tangled for a moment. He nearly lost his balance and stumbled forward before barely managing to steady himself."I'm late!"His voice echoed throughout the enormous bedroom as he hurriedly ran o
