2025-04-14 20:14:28Eleven years ago, all Thomas Brown wanted was a simple life with the person he loved. But Eleven years later, reality hit hard, life didn’t turned out the way he hoped. He had tried to make it on his own, but things didn’t work out. So he decided it was time to turn his father for help.
It was late at night, and most people had gone home. But the tallest building in Lake City the Velox Group Head quarter was still fully lit. At exactly 9PM Thomas Brown walked into the building. Just a few steps in, a disdainful voice rang out from behind him, "Hey! Who do you think you are coming in here? If you're looking for handouts, go outside! You'll ruin our carpet, and we couldn't afford to pay for it even if we sell you!" The woman, Emily Flores, was well-dressed and clearly annoyed. She had been forced to stay late at work, missing a movie date with her boyfriend, and Thomas showing up gave her someone to take her anger out on. "What are you staring at, you filthy beggar? Keep looking, and I'll poke your eyes out!" Thomas frowned slightly. She was attractive and had a curvy figure, but her nasty attitude ruined it. Fortunately, after eleven years of enduring hardships, Thomas had developed an incredibly resilient temperament. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm not a beggar; I'm here to see David Torres." Emily completely ignored what he said. "Do you even know where you are? This is Velox Group the second biggest company in the world! Look at yourself! You’re not even fit to talk to the cleaners!” "Get lost, and stop being an eyesore!" Now Thomas was furious. "I'll say it again, I need to see David Torres!" Just then, Allen Young, the company’s head of security, walked over and put his arm around Emily. As soon as Emily saw who it was, her expression changed instantly. She sweetly leaned in, "Allen, look at this filthy beggar trying to get into our company. He's scaring me!" Then, with a look of disgust, he waved dismissively at Thomas. "Get out of here. You are not welcome.” Thomas coldly glanced at the name tag on Allen’s chest. This was the security manager of Velox? If he didn't know better, he'd think he was looking at a gangster! Over the years, what has David been up to that even his subordinates can't handle things anymore?! "What the hell are you still doing here? Do you want me to throw you out myself?!" "I'm going to say this one more time!" "I'm not here begging for scraps, I'm here to meet someone. You tell David Torres that Thomas Brown is looking for him!" "Who are you looking for?" Allen’s eyes widened in disbelief, then he burst out laughing, "You're looking for our Mr. Torres? The CEO? Thomas was surprised, "David is the CEO now?" He couldn't help but wonder to himself, wow, this old guy made it big. Just Eleven years apart, and his father has handed over all the power to him? "Allen laughed, “You? See Mr. Torres? You don’t even know he’s the CEO. What a joke!” Allen mocked him again and started walking off with Emily. “Let’s go see the goldfish I just bought,” he told her, completely ignoring Thomas. Thomas pulled out his phone and called David. “Old man, it’s not that I don’t want to come back. Your staff won’t even let me in! If you’re not down here in a minute, I’m leaving.” His voice echoed loudly through the lobby. Allen snapped. “You’ve done it now! You’re gonna get me fired!” He grabbed Thomas by the collar. “You want me to throw you out?” Thomas stayed calm. “In less than a minute, you’ll be the one apologizing.” "Apologize to you? I will show you why the sky looks so blue!" With that, he raised his fist and swung it toward Thomas's head! "Stop!" Just as the punch was about to land, an angry voice rang out from behind. Allen turned around and immediately released Thomas, bowing his head respectfully. "Chairman, this man snuck into the company while I wasn't paying attention and disturbed your rest. I'll throw him out right away!" Seeing David Torres appear, Emily Flores quickly changed her demeanor, stepping forward with a flattering smile. "Chairman, it was I who risked my safety to keep him here. Just look at him, he's acting all sneaky, he's clearly up to no good!" As she spoke, she gave Thomas a shove right in front of David. "Why aren't you leaving yet?! If you don't get out, I'll have security take you to the police station!" Thomas didn’t react. He just smirked. David walked up and… bowed to Thomas. “Young Master, you’ve been through so much.” The room went silent. Emily’s jaw dropped. “Y-young master?! Chairman… are you okay?!” David shouted, "Emily Flores!" Emily froze in fear. “I… I didn’t mean it… I didn’t know…” David glared at her. “Don’t apologize to me. Apologize to him.” Allen immediately dropped to his knees. “Young Master, I’m sorry! I had no idea. Please forgive me!” Emily’s legs were shaking. She was terrified. Thomas waved them off. “People like this give the company a bad name.” David understood. He turned to his P.A. “Fire both of them. Get them out of here now!” Later in the office, Thomas took a sip of the coffee that David had personally poured for him and sighed with satisfaction. "I haven't had coffee this good in forever,” Thomas said relaxing. Seeing Thomas's condition, David looked worried. "Young Master, what happened to you? I will get a doctor here quickly!" "It's just a minor injury, no need!" Thomas waved his hand and stated directly, "I'm here to ask for money!" David quickly handed him a contract. “Sign this, and everything in Velox Group is yours.” Thomas looked it over, signed, and handed it back. David’s hands were shaking with excitement. He had waited eleven years for this moment. Thomas raised an eyebrow. “Where’s the money?” David’s eyes widened. He didn't have time to wait for his excitement, he needed that cash to survive! "Alright! Alright! I'll transfer it to you right away!" David quickly transferred it, A hundred and fifty million showed up in Thomas’s account. “Still as generous as ever,” Thomas said with a smirk. He stood up. “Thanks. I’ll do what I promised. But don’t bother me after this.” David nodded. “Of course. Take your time.” As Thomas walked out, David opened his laptop and started a video call. An elderly man appeared on the screen. “Sir!” David said excitedly. “The young master signed the contract!”

On the screen, the old man paused for a second before raising his hand tiredly and saying, “Alright, let’s go with the plan. "Sir, do we not need to send anyone to protect the young master?" David asked with concern. "No need. If we go against his wishes, it might have the opposite effect. Thomas has grown up and has his own ideas. Let's just follow his lead for now." "Yes, sir!" Soon after, the chairpersons of various branches under Velox Group received a highly confidential email at the same time, Thomas Brown, the sole heir of the Brown family, was officially taking over this billion-dollar empire! Without any delay, he rushed back to the hospital, only to find Ava and Scott cozied up by the bedside, chatting and laughing together. Thomas's brows furrowed deeply. Upon seeing him, Ava froze for a moment before creating some distance from Scott, a flash of anger crossing her eyes. "Thomas, What time do you think it is? You've been gone all afternoon!

"Wait a second!" Thomas shouted anxiously, rushing in only to realize he was too late. At that moment, the big door slowly creaked open, and a group of people stepped out. Leading the group was Bryce Reed, who shot a disdainful glance at Thomas before letting out a cold snort. "Thomas Brown, you're late. I'm officially notifying you that you are expelled!" Thomas hadn't even had a chance to say a word when the group standing next to the principal began to revel in his misfortune. "Thomas, you should just go home early and spare us the embarrassment. You don't deserve to work in the same place as me," said King Emerson, Thomas's colleague. King was arrogant and looked down on him, often mocking and isolating him behind his back. Thanks to him, Thomas had become completely alienated from the other teachers. Upon realizing that his students didn't like him, King tried every trick in the book to win them over, hoping to get favor with the rich kids. Thomas looked at him with

Everyone was shocked. They looked at Thomas, hesitating to speak. Thomas glanced at them with a hint of amusement before casually saying, "So, you guys were just saying you wanted to fire me, right?" Bryce, hearing this, forced a laugh and quickly replied, "I was just confused and spoke out of anger! I would never dare to fire you!" "Hahaha..." Thomas let out a cold laugh. Bryce seeing that the situation was turning against him, quickly changed his tune. It was clear he was no ordinary person to have climbed to this position. "However, I'm officially notifying you that you're all fired." As soon as Thomas's words sank in, several people's eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at him. Bryce's face turned an ugly shade, and he frowned, saying, "You can’t just fire us like that, without consulting with the other shareholders." A smirk appeared on Thomas's lips as he coldly looked at them. "This is a prestigious school. Do you think it can't function without you? Don't worr

"This is impossible! He's just a useless man. Where would he get the money? A shareholder? I think you all must be going crazy along with him!" As he spoke, the expressions on their faces shifted. One person could talk nonsense, but could so many others be losing their minds too? Upon reflection, it was clear that these two were simply refusing to accept reality. Edward chuckled for a moment but then sensed something was off. He looked around at the cold stares directed at him and shouted, "Could this be true? How could he possibly be a shareholder? I need to speak to the principal. Get Mr. Bryce for me!" Edward's most trusted ally was Mr. Bryce. To win his favor, Bryce had often spoken highly of him, and now Edward believed in him above all others. The employees left behind by Thomas snorted in disdain and said without hesitation, "Mr. Bryce you're looking for? He's probably hiding in somewhere, crying." "What?!" Gray shouted in disbelief. He never imagined that the pers

A few doctors and nurses rushed out, immediately taking the child from him and taking her into the emergency room. "Wait outside!" One of them said firmly. The harsh words lingered as Thomas stood there, wearing old worn-out clothes that made him look defeated and hopeless. Click, click, click! The sound of hurried high heels echoed behind him. Thomas instinctively turned around, but before he could see who it was, a sharp perfume scent hit him, followed by a sharp slap across his face. "Thomas Brown!" Ava Bailey shouted, her eyes red with anger. "If anything happens to my daughter, I swear I will kill you!"

After they graduated, they both started teaching at the same elite school Thomas taught eleventh grade, and Jake taught fifth grade. "Jake, where are you?" Thomas asked desperation in his voice. On the other end, there was noise in the background before Jake’s voice finally came through. What's up, Thomas?" "Are you... are you in a position to help me out? I need to borrow some money..." Thomas struggled to get the words out, knowing that while Jake was a bit better off than him, it was only by a small margin. As expected, there was a moment of silence on the line. "It's okay, if it's not convenient for you, then..." "Thomas, what are you talking about?" Jake’s voice cut in. "What kind of brothers are we? I know it's about Emma, right?"
