I Don’t Want to Be the Heir

My parents were slightly stunned. It was as if they had suddenly come to a realization as they looked at me guiltily. As my parents remained silent, Adam Scott walked away with a limp. I shut the door and met my mother’s slightly awkward gaze. “Dylan, it must be hard for him to deliver food in such cold weather. We don’t necessarily need that dish anyway. Can you not give him a negative review?” Even though she sounded like she was seeking my opinion, it was clear that she was concerned about Adam. I nodded and gave a five-star rating as she watched. She only sat down in relief after that. There were a variety of dishes on the dining table, but my favorite grilled ribs were not there. No one started eating. I looked down at my prosthetic leg and felt a little suffocated. Back then, when they found out I was the real son, Adam planned a car accident on my journey home and caused me to lose my left calf because he wanted to secure his position as the successor. Initia

My mother could not bear to see me like that. She rushed toward me and grabbed my wrist. “Dylan, please don’t do this. I didn’t mean what I said earlier. Please, just let Adam stay for one night. Just one night.” Her pleading voice reminded me of what she said three years ago.Instead of waiting for me to speak up, Adam immediately said, “Mr. Scott and Mrs. Scott, please don’t make it difficult for Dylan. I have reaped what I’ve sown. I’ll make a move first. Besides, I owe you a formal apology, Dylan. I’m sorry.” After he said that, he looked at me with a regretful expression, then left without any hesitation. This time, my parents did not chase after him. My mother turned around and sighed. My father also let out a long sigh. I felt unhappy as I heard the sound of fireworks going off. I tried to lighten the atmosphere. However, no matter what I said, my parents were no longer smiling sincerely.They excused themselves to their bedroom before 10 p.m. I was left alon

“Three years ago, in order to persuade me to drop the charges against Adam, you promised that all shares would be mine in the future. “But you’ve secretly transferred my shares to this fraud. How is this fair to me?” After I said that, I felt a blow against my cheek. My father had just slapped me. He glared at me. “It’s my company, and I decide how to give out the shares. It’s not your place to decide.“Get out of here now and stop embarrassing yourself. Otherwise, don’t even think I’ll give you a single cent in the future.” My mother was shocked as she held my father’s arm. She chastised him, “Why can’t you just say it nicely? You didn’t have to hit him! We’re in public!“Dylan, your dad…” Before she finished talking, I turned around and left immediately. I had an epiphany after he slapped me. Instead of wasting my emotions and effort on people who did not love me, I should be loving myself instead. After I walked away, I could still hear my father’s angry shouts.

They did that to prevent Peter from disrupting Adam’s life. However, Peter was a gambling addict. It would not be an easy task for him to change his ways and start all over again.In just three years, he had already spent all of his money. On that day, the Scott family members were meeting a few important business clients. Suddenly, they heard Peter shouting outside the gate. “Why are you stopping me? I’m here to look for my biological son! I’m telling you, my biological son is the successor of the Scott family! If you dare to lay a finger on me, I’ll immediately ask my son to fire all of you!” “Mr. Scott, who’s that man outside of your house? Why did he come here to look for your son?”One of the clients had just returned to the country, so he was unaware of the Scott family’s matters. However, my parents’ expressions changed when they heard his question. Adam, who stood to one side, was at a loss too. Peter saw that no one was responding to him, so he shouted even l

Actually, I was afraid that my biological parents would not want me anymore. However, I no longer wanted them. What would I be afraid of? I walked toward Adam and smirked. “Adam, you know why I lost this leg, don’t you?“Why are you acting so arrogantly before me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take out the evidence of you doing something to my brake pads?“Tell me, if the police detain you, do you think your so-called parents will try to save you? After all, without you, Peter would no longer be able to threaten them.” Upon hearing my words, Adam’s face became ghastly. He wanted to refute me, but he could not say anything. His friends saw that he was speechless, so they quickly helped. “How dare you talk to Adam like that? I’m going to exile you from this city tomorrow.”“Adam, he’s too arrogant. Let us teach him a lesson.” Adam gritted his teeth and lowered his voice. “Dylan, didn’t you tell Dad that all evidence was gone? How dare you lie to him? I will tell him
