Chapter 9

Author: Nameless
"You bastard! You've completely humiliated the Gould family!" Roslyn snapped, clutching her chest as her whole body trembled with rage. "Everyone in our circle is laughing at me now! Mr. Lynch even stopped the Westbrook project!"

Benson scrambled up from the floor and instinctively reached out to shield Matthew, but when he saw his hideously twisted face, his hands froze midair.

"Mom, Dad… you hit me? You actually hit me for that bastard Aaron!"

Matthew completely lost it, grabbing an antiqu

  • I'm the Real Son, and I Hit Back   Chapter 11

    I pulled a mini voice recorder from my pocket and turned it over in my hand."By tomorrow morning, the scandal surrounding the Gould family's real and fake sons will be the lead story on every news site in the country. Care to guess how many days in a row Gould Group's stock will hit the daily limit down?"Signing the agreement went off without a hitch.Between preserving Gould Group's reputation and losing part of her wealth, Roslyn chose the former without hesitation.As that astronomical settlement hit my private bank account, Matthew was dragged out of the Gould residence by several bodyguards, left with nothing but a one-way ticket to the slums.His biological father, Gavin, had already been taken in by the police for questioning. What awaited Matthew was his penniless biological family, steeped in drinking and gambling.There would be no luxury watches, expensive cars, or servants waiting on him—only debts that could never be paid off and an endless barrage of abuse.Rosly

    I copied the encrypted file onto a tablet, along with a confession video the private investigator had found, in which Gavin admitted to switching the babies. Then I headed downstairs.Down in the living room, Matthew was still throwing a tantrum in his wheelchair."So what if everyone online is trash-talking me? I'm still the son you raised for 18 years! What right do you have to freeze my cards? Kick Aaron out! I don't want to see him!"Benson rubbed his temples in frustration. Roslyn's face was livid with rage, and whatever patience she'd once had for her obedient adopted son was gone.I walked over and slammed the tablet down on the coffee table. On the screen, Gavin sat in a cramped rented room, gloating about how he'd switched the babies 18 years ago."Take a good look before you continue screaming," I said, casting Matthew a cold glance.Roslyn frowned and picked up the tablet. Less than 30 seconds in, the look on her face changed.She shot to her feet, her hands shaking v

Mr. Lynch even stopped the Westbrook project!"Benson scrambled up from the floor and instinctively reached out to shield Matthew, but when he saw his hideously twisted face, his hands froze midair."Mom, Dad… you hit me? You actually hit me for that bastard Aaron!" Matthew completely lost it, grabbing an antique vase off the coffee table and hurling it straight at the TV."I'm the son you raised for 18 years! Who the hell is he?!" he shouted.The sharp sound of shattering glass cut through the room.Roslyn and Benson stared at the wreckage and at Matthew raging like a street thug. Whatever affection they still had for him vanished.…Over the next few days, things quickly went downhill for the Gould family.Roslyn hit one wall after another at the company. Business partners who once flattered he

    The final piece of evidence was actual footage from the dean of students' office that day, showing Matthew lunging at me before Sierra pinned him to the desk.I clicked send and pinned the post to the top.I leaned back in my chair, staring silently at the screen.Within three minutes, the quiet class group chat exploded."Holy shit! What a twist! So who's the real snake here?""My eyes must be playing tricks on me. Is that really the polite, gentle Matthew we know? Forcing someone to kneel and admitting he pushed Aaron? That's attempted murder!""Yesterday, he was playing the victim in the chat, claiming Aaron pushed him down the stairs. Turns out he was accusing Aaron of the exact thing he did himself. Aaron was just defending himself!""Hearing him say 'Mom and Dad still side with me' in that recording makes my blood boil. What kind of rich family is this? They're a house of monsters!"Messages flooded in at a dizzying speed.The cronies who had led the charge in insulting

    As soon as Matthew was wheeled into the living room, he grabbed a porcelain cup off the coffee table and smashed it right at my feet.Porcelain shards scattered across the floor, a few grazing my shins."Aaron Gould! Look at what you did to me! I'll never let you get away with this!" Matthew shrieked, his face contorted with rage. Not a trace of his usual refined, gentlemanly demeanor remained.Benson held Matthew's shoulders in distress, then turned to glare at me."Why are you just standing there? Look at what you did to Matthew! Get over here, get on your knees, and apologize right now!"Roslyn, exhausted and annoyed, pointed a finger right in my face and roared, "Look at what you've done! You've thrown this house into chaos! If I'd known you were this malicious, I never would have brought you back!"With Roslyn and Benson completely taking his side, Matthew only grew bolder. "Mom, Dad! As long as he's in this house, I won't be able to sleep a wink! I want him out of the mas

    Matthew's arms and legs were soon covered in swollen red scrapes. Clutching his lower back, he couldn't even manage a full sentence through the pain. "It hurts… My back…"Roslyn and Benson snapped back to reality and scrambled down the stairs."Matthew! My sweet boy, don't scare me like this!"Benson rushed over, desperate to hold him but terrified to touch him, tears streaming down his face.Roslyn's eyes were bloodshot as she whipped around to glare daggers at me. "Aaron Gould, you bastard! He's your brother! How could you do this to him? Are you trying to kill him?"As she hurled those deafening accusations at me, I stood at the top of the stairs and coldly watched the touching family scene unfold below.I walked down the steps with deliberate slowness, pointing to the blood still seeping through the bandage on my forehead."Kill him? Mom, when he pushed me down these exact stairs this morning, why didn't you ask him if he was trying to kill me?"I stopped three feet away fr
