"Father, please believe me, I didn't do it," A loud, hoarse male voice screamed, tears flowing down like a stream.Thunder rumbled in the sky and the downpour intensified, as though to silence the yells and pleas of the young man.Before the young man stood three figures. A middle-aged man sharing a striking resemblance to the young man drenched in rain, kneeling and shedding tears, even though the tears were not noticeable as they had been mixed with the rain.Beside the man was a woman and a young man. More precisely, the young man's half-brother.Men dressed in black stood behind them, raising umbrellas against their heads, preventing the rain from drenching them."Russell, tell me the truth, did you sell out the company's secret?" The middle-aged man, Jacob, broke the silence, his cold voice cutting through the rain, his gaze cold as he looked down at the young man."Father...." The young man, Russell sobbed, head down, not even daring to catch his father's gaze."Please believe me

The three froze, staring at Russell, eyes opened wide, looking like they would pop out of their sockets."Russell! How dare you come back here!" Jacob roared, veins bulging out of his neck, pointing at Russell."Get the heck out of my face right now, else, I won't mind throwing you out," He added, glaring at Russell, disgust written all over his face."Throw me out?" Russell snickered, his gaze settling on his father, who seemed to be bent on throwing him out of the family.At first, he thought maybe he would change his mind. He had a little bit of hope, but it seemed like he was wrong."Isn't that rich coming from you, Jacob?" Russell stood up, narrowing his brows, walking slowly towards the family."Russell, you unfilial child, is that the right way to talk to your father?” Anna snapped, her finger trembling as she pointed at him.“Father?” Russell let out a low chuckle, the sound devoid of warmth.“Didn’t he just say he wasn’t my father?”"Besides, if I remember right, he was the o

(The Next Day)The sun rose slowly over the city skyline, casting golden light over towering buildings and busy streets.Standing before a magnificent building was Russell.In front was a large sign which read, "Miller Biotech Group."This was his mother’s life’s work.For years, he had walked through these doors with his head lowered, wearing cheap clothes, enduring mockery and humiliation, all because his father suggested it would be best to work from the bottom all the way up.He had foolishly believed. And while Ethan enjoyed a high position with a high salary, he was stuck at the bottom with a small salary which would sometimes get docked by Ethan's minions.If he complained to his father, he wouldn't say anything and just told him to put up with it.But today, all of that would end. He was done enduring. With that thought in mind, Russell walked in slowly.The moment he stepped in, a few eyes landed on him, and whispers began as gossip started to fly around."Isn’t that Russell?

Russell whistled as he walked out of the company, feeling rather elated.Finally, he had gotten what he wanted. The next thing was to check out the Twin Tower.As for his father and the rest, he would find time for them later. It was time to sort out things."Isn't there anyone who knows how to swim here?" A loud yell came, pulling Russell back to his senses as he walked down the street away from the building."Someone please help, or he would drown!" The voice yelled again, and Russell turned in the direction of the voice.At the other side of the road, a crowd was gathered, pointing and watching something.A young woman stood at the center of the crowd, yelling, asking if there was anyone who knew how to swim.Seeing this, Russell frowned slightly and moved closer to the crowd. Getting there, he froze at the sight before him.Just right beneath was a flowing river. Splashes were seen; a small figure struggled to swim but to no avail. At a glance, one could tell the figure couldn't s

Russell didn’t look back after Bruce’s convoy disappeared into the distance. He couldn't care less if the old man believed him. It was his luck to have met him, and since he did not believe him, then that was also his luck.Across the road, standing tall and majestic under the afternoon sun, were the Twin Towers.Two identical skyscrapers pierced into the sky, their glass exteriors reflecting the bustling city. Many companies who could have their own building were stationed right inside the building, all because it represented status and power.Russell narrowed his eyes slightly. This was his next destination.Without hesitation, he crossed the road and walked straight toward the entrance.The doors spun lazily as executives in suits walked in and out. The atmosphere here was entirely different from the chaotic riverbank.Each executive belonged to a different company within the building, but none cared.Just as Russell stepped onto the staircase leading to the entrance, two guards bl
