For Henry James, being adopted into the Wilson family felt more like servitude than kinship. When he dares to love Lily Wilson, the daughter of his adoptive parents, their world crumbles. Cast out from the Wilson household, Henry and Lily struggle to survive in a dingy flat, facing rejection at every turn. Their plight worsens as Henry finds himself barred from employment opportunities, leaving the couple trapped in a cycle of poverty and despair. But just when hope seems lost, an unexpected revelation emerges from an unlikely source. An elderly man, recently released from prison, unveils a long-kept secret: Henry's late father had entrusted his entire estate to the old man's care, ensuring Henry's inheritance and the preservation of the James family legacy.

Chapter 1

"Honey, finally I got accepted for a job interview!" cried Henry happily.

He just got a call for a job interview at Bizzare Group. Henry was of course very happy, after sending out dozens of job applications, only this time a company called him for a job interview.

"Look, they even mentioned in the email that I've been hired and just need to come for an interview as a formality!"

Lily rushed to hug her husband, it was the first good news she heard even after two years of her marriage with Henry James. "We should celebrate your acceptance into the company, Honey! Congratulations, I know you can do it!”

Henry James and Lily Wilson have been married for two years. Henry was actually an adopted son in the Wilson family. He is hated by the entire Wilson family except for Lily. Lily and Henry fell in love each other and they decided to get married, even though the marriage did not actually have the blessing from Lily's family.

"Yeah, you can talk to your mom. Tell him that his son-in-law is no longer unemployed.” Henry returned Lily's hug, happiness welling up in his heart. Finally, he will be a useful husband. “Pray for me that everything will go smoothly and I can improve our lives.”

Lily smiled sweetly and winked. "Of course, honey. I will always pray for you. Okay, what should I prepare for your interview this afternoon? Wait… I’m almost forget something!"

Henry furrowed his brows in response to his wife's sentence. "What?"

Lily took a deep breath and said, "Isn't today is Judith's wedding, should I come alone? The timing coincides with your job interview.”

Henry patted his forehead, he forgot that today he was supposed to accompany his wife to his cousin's wedding. "How about if you come there first, I'll catch up with you after the interview is over," Henry suggested.

“Ah, well. That's okay." The beautiful woman then stepped out and opened the wardrobe. She chose the best clothes for Henry.

Thirty minutes later, Henry and Lily were standing on the sidewalk waiting for the taxi they ordered. In the same taxi they headed to the Bizzare Group office first, then the taxi would take Lily to Judith's wedding venue.

When the Taxi arrived in front of the Bizzare Group building, Henry kissed his wife's forehead. "Be careful, darling. I go first."

"Good luck!"

Henry nodded his head then stepped steadily into the Bizzare Group building. There, he immediately approached the Front Desk to show the email he received to the Front Desk clerk.

"Good afternoon, I'm Henry James. I received a phone call and also an email message. I was asked to face the HRD." said Henry while showing the email message he got.

The receptionist smiled, "Okay, Mr. Daniel is waiting for you, let me take you to his room."

Henry walked following the receptionist's steps into a room.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Come in!"

The receptionist opened the door for Henry and when it opened a man appeared to be standing as if waiting for him. “Well, how much money have you prepared?" asked the man called Mr. Daniel immediately after Henry entered his room.

Henry frowned in confusion. "Excuse me, what money do you mean, Sir?"

Daniel stepped and sat in his chair without inviting Henry to sit. “Isn't it obvious you don't have any work experience anywhere! The only thing that will get you accepted here is pay for $10,000!”

$10,000?!!!

“But… I'm looking for a job because I want to earn money, Sir. I mean, I don't even have that much money."

Daniel frowned and looked contemptuously at Henry. “Tch! I'm sure you'll never find a job for the rest of your life! No wonder the Wilsons made you a slave. See, you are much better suited to be a working slave!”

Henry was surprised. How could Daniel know that he was an adopted child who was treated as a slave in the Wilson family. However, before Henry could ask, Daniel was already preparing to kick Henry out.

"Come on, get out of here! You are completely wasting my precious time!”

Henry took a deep breath. "Then, if indeed I am not accepted to this company, why am I summoned for an interview and you say that I will definitely be accepted?" asked Henry expressing his confusion.

Daniel sneered, “You know, sometimes I also need entertainment like this. Playing a pauper like you won't hurt my position, ha ha ha! One more thing, I'm calling you for an interview to make sure if you're not fit to work anywhere!”

Henry James swallowed the bitter taste in his throat. His ears felt irritated as he listened to Daniel's rant. Because Daniel was insulting him quite intensely, Henry didn't realize that his phone had vibrated several times.

Henry was unaware that an important figure was trying to contact him, and yet, that call was actually a call that would change Henry James' life!
