How Dare You Steal My Father’s Legacy Chapter 8 The Mask Falls
Maris' story about being forced was nothing but a lie.The truth was, when the Dawns learned that Grayson had stolen my father's model and might profit enormously from it, they didn't stop him. They even secretly supported him.And Maris? She wasn't some innocent girl who got tricked. She was part of it—one of the masterminds.To help Grayson take my father's place without a single flaw, she used my trust against me. She pried into my father's research habits and routines through me, collecting every detail she could.When my father discovered the truth, it was Maris who suggested to Grayson that they use drugs to silence him.She was terrified that my father would destroy Grayson, and with him, the wealth and power she was so close to grasping.It was absurd. From the very beginning, I had fallen for her mask—her pure, gentle, and compassionate act.Still, I went to see Maris. I wanted to understand—if she wanted power and money so badly, why had she come for me, a broke studen
How Dare You Steal My Father’s Legacy Chapter 7 Shattered Alliances
Adrian wasn't just respected in academia. His family held tremendous influence across the country. The Vale family's wealth and standing were insignificant compared to his.Liora's anger flared."They're all rotten," she snapped. "Professor Locke told me that Grayson's father had a long history of academic misconduct, all of which was buried back then."Before she could say more, Maris' parents approached me.Usually critical to the point of disdain, barely sparing me a glance, they were suddenly unnervingly warm."Lucen, I know you've been wronged, but Maris is innocent!""It's all that brat Grayson's fault! He corrupted Maris!""She just loves you too much. She was confused and only told a few lies to protect him."Liora stepped back, making room. I pulled my hands free from theirs and laughed bitterly. "Innocent? My father was being tormented while she stood by and watched. That's innocent? When she uploaded those twisted, misleading things online just to destroy me, was t
How Dare You Steal My Father’s Legacy Chapter 6 Breaking Point
"You also forced me to admit, in front of my own father, that he's a fraud! Maris, you even posted those twisted videos and false statements online, trying to make sure my dad and I never recover!"Maris froze completely. "You… The child… Let me explain!"Explain? At this point, what was there to explain?Adrian's gaze swept across everyone in the room. "Who is Grayson?"Grayson panicked, scrambling on the floor. "Professor Locke! It's not my fault! Really, it's not! It was Lucen! He's jealous of my talent, so he made all of this up to frame me!"Maris panicked too. "Lucen! Please, plead with Professor Locke! Tell him this is all a misunderstanding! Grayson would never hurt your father! He was just… joking with you!"I laughed, bitter and disbelieving, at her shameless words. "Maris! You've destroyed a man's entire life! It's not a game!"After confirming Grayson's identity, Adrian strode forward and pressed his boot against Grayson's chest.With just a little more pressure fro
How Dare You Steal My Father’s Legacy Chapter 5 Emergency Call
A group of men in black suits barged in, their presence like a cold wind. The leader, a middle-aged man, barked in a low voice, "Everyone, stop!"His authority settled over the room like a weight.Grayson and his cronies instinctively loosened their grip on me and took a few steps back, faces pale. Maris went white, too, watching the uninvited guests with equal parts fear and uncertainty."Who are you? Who gave you permission to break in?" Grayson shouted, clutching his bleeding nose, his bravado thin and trembling.The leader didn't even glance at him. He came straight to my side and signaled for the others to help me up. He crouched, inspected my wounds, and frowned."Professor Ward's emergency call came from here. Where is he?" His eyes swept the motionless figure of my father on the hospital bed.Every chest in the room tightened.'An emergency call? That old man hasn't even been able to move, has he?'Grayson tried to keep his composure, desperate to cover up the truth."
How Dare You Steal My Father’s Legacy Chapter 4 The Last Card
"He's about to come back. If he finds out what you've done, the Dawn family—and every one of you—will be finished."The Adrian Locke I named was my father's oldest friend and a towering figure in our field. He was blunt and incorruptible; academic dishonesty was his greatest contempt. He'd been working overseas for years, so many people at home didn't even know he and my father were close.This was my last card.Grayson and his friends paused for a beat, then burst into louder laughter."Professor Adrian Locke? As if. Are you kidding me?" one of them said."We checked. Your dad's a loner, a weird guy. Besides you, he has no friends," another added."Professor Locke? What's next? Are you going to tell us the Pope's your godfather?"Maris snorted derisively. "Lucen, have you lost your mind? Are you talking nonsense now? Grayson's already dug through every bit of that AI model's data. Even if the original creator showed up, there'd be nothing for you to gain."A smug smile cross
