Adopted Child
The day, full of plans and the most anticipated day for the Greysoon family, had finally arrived. On this bright night, the Greysoon family would announce to everyone who would be the primary heir to all their assets and wealth.The glittering lights seemed to add to the luxurious and festive atmosphere of the evening. One by one, the invited guests began to arrive, including members of the business community, several celebrities who had been specially invited to add to the excitement, and many media crews who had also been invited to capture the evening's events."Jeff, are you ready?" Renia asked, adjusting her son's tie."I'm very ready, Mom. Jeff has been waiting for this moment for years," she replied with a proud tilt of her chin.On the other hand,Everyone stared at the beautiful woman who had just entered the room, her bright red dress revealing her figure. She was Abigail Mooer, the daughter of one of the country's most successful businessmen. Although his wealth couldn't co
Thrown Away Like Trash
All the invited guests had left, leaving a trail of shame and humiliation in Almero's heart. What should have been the greatest achievement of his life had now turned into a tragic night he could never have imagined.Almero glared at Okan, Rania, and Jeff, who were now sitting on the sofa, as if to show that they were the hosts. And he was just a vagrant they had deliberately picked up to reach the pinnacle of success."Why are you still in this house? Don't you know you're just an adopted child?" Jeff asked, staring at Almero with a sly grin.Jeff crossed his arms arrogantly in front of his chest. He had been trying to suppress his arrogance around Almero, but his goal of becoming the heir had been achieved. He was free to act as he pleased, and he desperately wanted to get rid of that loser."You already knew about their plan," Almero hissed angrily."Of course, I'm their biological son," Jeff said, puffing out his chest in a display of pride that disgusted Almero into clenching his
Abigail's True Attitude
The guards simultaneously struck him, rendering him helpless. He could only crouch in front of the gate, covering his face with both hands. Seeing him helpless, the guards took his wallet and cell phone."Go far away, and never come back," the guard said before closing the gate.Almero endured the pain and stood up, staring angrily at the Greysoon family home. "I swear I won't be at peace until I get even with you."Almero staggered away from the luxurious house. He was penniless, feeling incredibly frustrated. In the midst of his devastation, he remembered a close friend whose house was only about an hour's walk away. He thought he could ask for help.Almero breathed a sigh of relief as he stood in front of his best friend's gate. Coincidentally, the gate opened automatically, and a few seconds later, he saw Oscar's car slowly passing by. Just before the car could take over the road, Almero knocked on his friend's window. Seconds later, the car window rolled down. Oscar stared at Al
Abigail's Parental Insult
Almero left Abigail's apartment with heavy feet. He never imagined he would suffer such a fate: he'd been framed and cast aside by the Greysoon family. Not long after, his best friend had broken up with him, and now Abigail was having an affair with Jeff—the biological son of that cursed family.A clap of thunder rumbled, as if the universe was reminding Almero not to give up. Without money and connections, he was nothing!But seconds later, he remembered the calm faces of Abigail's parents, who had always treated him kindly. A warm feeling suddenly filled his chest, thinking they would surely help him expose the slander the Greysoon family had leveled against him. Almero still didn't know they already knew everything and immediately fled."I'll just ask them to help clear my name," Almero said with determination.Almero didn't care that he was wet and shivering from the pouring rain; he could only walk to the Mooer house because he had run out of money. The night was getting late and
Collision
The scorching sun was starting to burn his skin, but that didn't stop Almero from continuing to rummage through the trash, looking for anything he could sell. He ignored the pungent smell of the garbage, as the most important thing now was earning money to buy food.Almero had tried applying for jobs at every company, but none would hire him; they all said they no longer needed additional employees. This was despite the fact that they clearly stated on the company's gate that they needed additional employees. Eventually, Almero learned that the reason why all the companies he visited wouldn't hire him was none other than pressure from the Greysoon family. His former foster family had threatened to harass any company that hired him."Isn't that Almero, the former foster child of the Greysoon family?" a beautiful woman asked her boyfriend."Yes, that's right. His fate is very sad. Who told him to betray the Greysoon family, and now he's homeless?" the blond man said to his girlfriend wi
Unexpected Help
Almero opened his eyes and looked around, finding the room strangely familiar. He slowly sat up and recalled the events of the previous night, when he had saved a woman who had been in an accident.The sound of a door creaking interrupted his reverie. He saw a middle-aged woman, whom he believed to be a servant, walking towards him carrying a tray."Where am I now?" Almero asked after the woman placed the tray on the table."You are at the Xander family residence, sir..." the servant replied politely."The Xander family," Almero said, repeating what the servant had said with a frown."Yes, sir," the servant said."Last night I fainted while saving a woman, but how come I'm suddenly here?" Almero asked, still confused."The person you saved yesterday was none other than Miss Edeline, Mr. Valton's only daughter," the servant replied."Can I see Mr. Valton now?" Almero asked, lowering his legs from the bed."Of course, I'll take you to meet Mr. Valton, but after you've finished breakfast
The Secret Behind the Plan
This afternoon, Almero and Valton sat on the sofa next to the Xander family home. It was a comfortable family retreat, with the scent of flowers wafting in the breeze."Somehow, I feel like Mr. Valton has another agenda behind this marriage," Almero said firmly. "If he didn't have a plan, how could he have chosen me as his son-in-law?" he continued, watching Mr. Valton closely.Mr. Valton wasn't surprised by what Almero had said. He knew this man had strong instincts."You are very observant, and that's why I chose you to be my daughter's companion," he said firmly. "I've asked my men to investigate everything about you, and you're simply a victim in the embezzlement of company funds," he continued."You must already know why I didn't refuse the marriage with Miss Edeline," Almero said matter-of-factly.Almero now knew that the Xander family was one of the most influential families in the country, even far above the Greysoon family. After considering all this, Almero had no reason to
First Evidence
Jeff had just returned to the company, throwing his work files onto the table with a furious expression. He roughly opened the bottle of wine and then gulped down its contents greedily."Damn Almero! That bastard, how dare he embarrass me in front of so many people," he said, breathing heavily with anger. "Does he think I'll just stay quiet? Of course not, I'll make him go back to scavenging for used bottles on the side of the road," he said, glaring at the door.A middle-aged man immediately entered the room, his face tense as he realized he'd arrived at the wrong time. Just one look at him revealed that Jeff was in a bad mood."What's wrong?" Jeff snapped suddenly, targeting the man."The master couldn't reach you, so Master Okan asked me to ask you about..." Jeff, already irritated, interrupted impatiently. "Xander's company assistant has an urgent matter, so I haven't seen him yet," Jeff lied, deliberately trying to keep his father from getting angry when he found out he'd left w
Almost Caught
After finishing his conversation with Mr. Valton, Almero quickly left the study and accidentally saw Edeline, who had also just emerged from her room. Almero stared blankly at the woman's face, which suddenly turned sour upon seeing him. Seconds later, Edeline stopped in front of him."I want to talk to you for a moment," she said curtly, and without waiting for Almero's response, Edeline immediately resumed her steps away.Almero and Edeline were now sitting on the sofa in front of the house, a breeze carrying the scent of roses from the nearby flower garden. Almero remained seated calmly, but his gaze was fixed on the beautiful woman sitting with an unfriendly expression.Edeline noticed the fading asphalt scratches on Almero's body. Her sharp eyes dimmed slightly as she realized that the man had saved her from the brink of death. Guilt crept into her heart for her arrogance toward Almero after she learned of the arranged marriage."How are your wounds?" Edeline asked."Much better,
Dead End Evidence
Almero's hand, holding his phone, suddenly trembled violently. From behind him, footsteps could be heard approaching. His heart pounded, and his face turned almost pale.Almero tried to control his breathing before turning to the source of the voice. He saw a security guard had just stopped in front of him, and his probing gaze made his heart race even faster."Why didn't you answer me?" he asked sharply. "Why were you standing here all this time?" he continued, noticing Almero's uniform."I was working, sir, and your scream startled me," Almero said in a calm voice."What kind of work makes you hide behind a pillar, like you're doing something suspicious?" asked the security guard, not immediately believing what the man in front of him was saying."My superior asked me to check the broken parking lot lights," Almero said, showing his phone to the security guard.Silence. The security guard didn't answer immediately, but instead, he observed Almero's movements. Just as he was about t
