"Humph! Why should I care about him? They are so poor and disgusting. It makes my skin crawl just thinking we'll be standing under the same roof," Serena Sterling spat out disdainfully.

"If it wasn't because of that bitch Bridget that gave them her villa before she died, they would have been living in the slums."

THUD!

She kicked a servant passing by, making the man trip and hit his face on the floor.

Then she scolded him, "Can't you watch where you are going? You almost made me lose my footing

    At the same time, every single high ranking official in Solara city received a notification from the provincial capital. The instructions were simple.[Gather your forces around Sunshine Orphanage. No one is allowed to go in or leave without permission from the King of Valor. If anyone dares to resist, shoot on site!]Meanwhile, in one of the rooms built just below the orphanage ground floor, a little boy was tied to the pillar.His eyes were fixated on the doctor standing beside the small bed positioned in one corner of the room.The young boy appeared very anxious, but because his mouth was gagged, he couldn't make any audible sound.A middle-aged man with a dirty goatee was standing beside the pillar, puffing out heavy smoke from the tobacco pipe in his hand.His lips curled up in a sinister way and he snarled at the boy, "You little bastard, if you dare steal someone's phone and try to snitch again, I'll break your arms.""I took you in to make money for me, not land me in jail,"

    Outside the villa, Rowan looked up at the gigantic gate and gave an exhausted sigh. "What do we do now, Kael? It's obvious that Ivan won't back down. Those foolish noble families will obviously believe you two are acquainted.""Let it be," Kael shrugged nonchalantly. He really didn't care about Ivan's threats. The latter has no evidence of their acquaintance.Besides, if he wanted, he could easily expose Ivan's lies and trample on him with a few words.But as long as Ivan heed to their warnings and stop his foolish actions, he will let him survive.RING!RING!Kael's phone suddenly chimed loudly in his pockets. When he saw the caller ID flashing on the phone screen, his brows furrowed at the unknown number.He answered the call and lifted the phone to his ear with a hint of suspicion. As soon as the call connected, an urgent, childish voice came through the line."Uncle... uncle... Please, save my sister!"Kael's eyes widened slightly because he remembered the voice clearly. It was th

  • 27: Tear Your Mouth Apart

    Ivan Sterling smirked at them, believing they were already intimidated by his words. He originally planned to bury the hatchet and have a good conversation with his older brother.But now it was obvious that Rowan didn't even want to acknowledge him.And as for Kael, Ivan didn't really care much about him. He was just a loser who had been lucky enough to return home safely. There is no reason to pay any special attention to a nobody like him."The last time I checked, that villa is in Bridget's name. Who are you to decide who gets it?" Rowan posed a calm question, watching his younger brother's face carefully."Humph! That slut is no longer alive. Should I just let her villa rot?"Kael's eyes darkened with fury. "She is your niece. Isn't it a bit too much to call her a slut?""Hahaha!" Ivan cackled mockingly as his gaze swept over Kael's frame. "Kid, have you forgotten that your father-in-law is no longer alive? A loser who married into our family has no right to interfere in our affa

You almost made me lose my footing. Now hurry up and clean this dirty footprint from the floor."The servant looked down at the floor shamefully. His fingers clenched but he didn't dare talk back.Instead, he hurriedly stood up and bowed. "I'm sorry, miss. I'll clean the dirty stain right away."The servant had only just begun to clean the stain when the entrance door swung open. Rowan and Kael appeared at the entrance, as they quietly scrutinized the grand decorations.As soon as Ivan noticed them, he hurried to meet them and u

  • 25: Spoiled The Family's Name

    "At the very least, the assets should be in your name," Ida's gaze turned sharp and determined as she spoke. "Neither me or your uncle, nor Ivan's family deserve to inherit the fortune left by your father-in-law."She held Kael's hands and informed him bitterly, "Listen, you have been away for so long so you don't know many things that happened in your absence. After your father-in-law was killed, your uncle and I hid away in fear but guess what your uncle Ivan did."Her words caught Kael's attention. His brows knitted and he asked her calmly, "What did he do? I know he was always at loggerheads with father, but he wouldn't do anything extreme, right?""Ivan and his family took advantage of the situation and directly joined forces with Rutherford's family!" Ida snapped resentfully."All because they coveted the family fortune, they disregarded their familial ties and dignity."Just saying the words made Ida boil angrily. Thinking of what Ivan and his family had done when they needed t

  • 24: They Don't Deserve It

    Kael stopped reading for a minute. His vision clouded and he was filled with grief. A tear dropped on the page as he read the last entry.[It's almost nine years now. Recently, things haven't been going well at home. A lot of things are happening and I miss him so much. But I have stopped holding on to that belief that he may still be alive. It doesn't matter anymore]The journal entry ended abruptly after this, dated two months ago. Kael held the notebook tightly to his heart.'Bridget, you silly woman. You waited for so long without knowing if I am still alive or dead.'Reminiscing about his time at the army, his heart was overwhelmed with pain. He couldn't call her when he first joined the army because of the special mission he was deployed to that took several months to complete.Then when he returned to the army, he didn't dare call her to avoid endangering her and her family's safety. He thought by doing that, he was keeping her safe from his enemies not knowing what was actuall
