Chapter 7

작가: Sir Greenstone
Christian cleared his throat. "First question. The Ashwoods are the richest family in Janverton, worth tens of billions. Logically, a family like yours would've protected their kids at all costs. So how did I go missing in the first place?

"Second question. After I disappeared, did you actually put any effort into looking for me? The orphanage I was in was right there in Janverton. With your family's influence, there's no way you couldn't find it."

He paused, as if something had just come to m

  • Abandoned Heir Reborn: I'll Shine Without You   Chapter 30

    Christian had basically found out everything he needed to know on this trip back to Janverton. It was time to return to Kellington.As for whether he should say goodbye to Imelda, he really didn't want to. The Ashwoods had managed to track him down in Kellington because she'd helped them. If he told her he was leaving this time, there was a good chance he wouldn't be allowed to go.He figured he would keep it from her as long as he could, so he turned and headed for the bus stop. By the time he boarded the train, Imelda's call came through."Chris, where did you run off to? I came back, and you were gone," she said."Oh, I'm on my way back to Kellington. I'm already on the train," Christian replied."How could you just leave without saying a word, you brat? You're getting more and more willful," she scolded, clearly annoyed.He chuckled. "It's not that I didn't want to say goodbye—I was just scared. If I told you, you might tip off the Ashwoods again, and then I wouldn't be able

    Christian spent the whole way back turning over Imelda's words in his mind. He understood what she meant, but he didn't care to verify whether every part of it was true.Right now, going to school was the only thing he cared about. If the Ashwoods really used their status as his legal guardians to force him to study in Janverton, what then?He couldn't just drop out because of that. That would completely derail his plans for the future.Ever since he was a kid, he'd wanted to go into defense research. The titans of the industry were the benchmarks he'd set for his life. There was absolutely no way he could give up school. As for Kellington Prime High School, the administration probably wouldn't be able to do much, either.Christian sighed heavily and thought, "Fine. If I have to come back, I'll come back. But no way am I having anything to do with the Ashwood family. If they threaten me using my education, then so be it. I'll just stop going to school."A flash of hatred flickered

  • Abandoned Heir Reborn: I'll Shine Without You   Chapter 28

    Christian froze. Had he ever loved the Ashwoods? He had. For an orphan, finally finding his birth parents brought a kind of joy that wrapped his whole being in warmth, like he was surrounded by bliss.He'd felt that. That was why, in his previous life, when he was first reunited with the Ashwoods, he'd truly believed he was wrapped up in happiness.But when they'd pushed him, step by step, into the abyss, he'd fallen into despair—despair so deep he'd wanted to burn the whole world down. After being poisoned in his previous life, he'd even thought about dragging the entire family to the grave with him.It was only because there'd still been that last shred of love left in his heart that he'd forcibly held himself back.Even after he was reborn, that hatred didn't fade. So, he forced himself not to think about the Ashwoods and his parents; he even left Janverton. Only by staying far away and never seeing them could he forget about them. And only by forgetting them did he feel like hi

    Imelda said gently, "After all, the Ashwoods live a much better life than we do. You've had it rough since you were little. I just want you to live a peaceful, smooth life from now on, so at least I won't have raised you in vain.""I know you mean well, Mama. It's just… You don't understand the Ashwood family. It'd be like walking into a lion's den with them. If I go back there, they'll eat me down to the bones," Christian said grimly."That can't be true. They're your birth parents, after all, and you've got three blood-related older sisters there to look out for you. They're not going to just stand by and let you suffer." Imelda tried to reassure him.He let out a cold laugh and didn't answer. He was smarter this time.Seeing she couldn't coax anything more out of him, Imelda changed the subject again. "Honestly, I don't understand why you hate your parents so much. By all logic, you've never had any real contact with them. Where does such deep hatred even come from?"And do you

    Imelda didn't believe a word of what Christian said. Something must have happened in between, but what exactly, she'd have to slowly figure out. Now that he was clearly on his guard, it would be hard to get anything out of him.She tried to comfort him. "Chris, it's just a novel. It's fine to read it for fun, but you really don't need to project yourself onto it. You've always been smart and sensitive. Don't let a book trap you in the wrong way of thinking."Take your mom, for example. Sure, she's been spoiled and a bit willful since she was young, but deep down, she's a good person. I still think you should spend more time with her. After a while, you'll see that her heart is in the right place."Christian snorted, looking upset. "Her, a good person? I sure haven't noticed.""Have you spent time with her before this?" Imelda asked, picking up on his tone."No. I wouldn't dare get close to her. Stay around her long enough and it'd probably twist your mind.""Why would you say tha

    Imelda just couldn't wrap her head around it. It looked like she would need to have a proper chat with Christian. She didn't linger at the teahouse and hurried back to the orphanage.By then, Christian was already back. He had shut himself in his room and was lying on the bed without saying a word. His mind was full of everything that had happened in his past life. Did he love the Ashwoods?He shook his head. No way. All he felt toward them now was hatred. As for how much he hated them… Did he want them dead? Not quite.He just never wanted to see them again. Every time he did, he was reminded of all the injustice and abuse from his previous life. It was like a thorn had taken root in his heart, stabbing him over and over.Christian's face twisted with pain. He lifted his hand and, without thinking, pounded hard on his chest a few times.Right then, someone knocked on the door. "Chris, are you in there?"It was Imelda. Christian took a deep breath, rubbed his face, and hid the pa
