Chapter 4

작가: Ashlore
When I pushed open the door to the police station's mediation room, I saw my dad sitting inside.

He looked like he had aged ten years in one night. His hair was disheveled. He was pulling at an officer's sleeve and complaining.

"Officer, that's my own son! A father taking a bit of money from his own son is not stealing. This is just a family dispute. Don't listen to his crap!"

Seeing me enter, my dad jumped up and charged at me like an enraged lion.

"Simon, you unfilial son! How dare you rep

  • Money for My Brother's Plastic Surgery   Chapter 10

    A month later, I was discharged from the hospital.My recovery went better than expected. The long scar on my chest was scabbing over. I treated it like a medal awarded to a survivor.The second week after discharge, I received a court summons.My father's case for theft and identity fraud loans was formally tried in court.I attended the trial on time as the victim.In the courtroom, my father stood in the defendant's dock, looking even older than he had in the detention center.His hair was almost completely gray, his back was hunched, and his eyes held a profound terror and bewilderment.He seemed to be constantly scanning the public gallery, trying to find the son he had cradled in his arms since childhood, the one for whom he was even willing to commit crimes.But Henry didn't come.The public gallery was empty. Even my aunt, who had shouted at me so furiously on the phone, was nowhere to be seen.When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. That was the true nature of the

    It was Henry.But he looked completely different.The entire left side of his face was drooping, and a long, finger-wide dark red scar stretched across his jaw like a centipede crawling over his skin.Because the infection had damaged his facial nerves, the corner of his mouth drooped uncontrollably to one side, and when he spoke, saliva dripped out."Are you satisfied now?! Are you happy?!"Henry pointed at his own face, screaming at me like a madman. "My face is ruined! That Korean doctor said the nerves are necrotic and will never recover! My whole life is ruined!"He lunged forward, trying to grab the guardrails of my hospital bed, but was pinned firmly to the floor by two security guards who had just arrived."Let me go! Simon, give me back my house! What right did you have to sell my house! Dad left it for me!" Henry struggled frantically on the ground like a dying fish.I looked at him coldly. The numbers on my heart rate monitor didn't even fluctuate much."That is not

  • Money for My Brother's Plastic Surgery   Chapter 8

    The day after I obtained the notarized power of attorney, I returned to my hometown.I didn't want to keep that two-bedroom apartment in the city center for a single day more than necessary.I contacted the largest local real estate agency and demanded a full-cash urgent sale. I priced the apartment $15,000 below market value.A bargain property priced $15,000 below market value naturally attracted a lot of interest. I managed to find a full-cash buyer in less than a day.I signed the contract and handled the property transfer. With a lawyer's help and the notarized power of attorney, the entire process went incredibly smoothly.The buyer's full payment of $105,000 was directly deposited into my newly opened bank account.I settled on the price of $105,000 after careful calculations.$75,000 was for my surgery. $8,000 was for the online loan compensation and emotional distress damages. As for the remaining $22,000, I didn't take a single cent.I had Ms. Lynn transfer that $22,0

    At two in the afternoon, in the detention center visitation room, I saw my father through the thick bullet-proof glass.He had been locked up for less than 48 hours, but all his arrogance was completely gone.He was wearing a standard vest, his hair was plastered to his scalp, and his eyes were sunken. He was trembling all over.The moment he saw me, he grabbed the telephone receiver with tears streaming down his aged face."Simon! Simon, save me! I can't stay here! I don't get enough food, I can't sleep well, and I get bullied... I've realized my mistake now. Let me out!"I picked up the receiver and looked at him."I can let you out. Ms. Lynn should have already told you. If you sign the agreement to repay the debt with the apartment and authorize the property transfer, I'll give you the letter of forgiveness."My father's sobbing paused. A flicker of struggle crossed his eyes."Simon, that apartment... is for your brother's future family. You earn such a high salary, you can

    Right now, far away in Korea, Henry was in an even more desperate situation than my father.After hanging up my aunt's call, I switched my phone to silent mode.I slept through the night without a single dream. It was the most peaceful sleep I'd had since my diagnosis.I already realized that anger and despair wouldn't solve anything. The only person who could save me was myself.The next morning, as soon as I arrived at my office, the front desk called my internal line."Mr. Lester, there are a few people causing a scene at the front desk. They claim to be your relatives and are demanding to see you."I frowned. "Call security. I'll be right out."When I reached the front desk, sure enough, it was my aunt, along with my uncle and my cousin.The three of them were standing aggressively in front of the turnstile, blocking it. They drew sidelong glances from coworkers passing by.The moment my aunt saw me, she pointed at me and started screaming, "Simon Lester, you heartless, un

    I was met by a senior partner, a female lawyer named Lynn.After listening to my account and reviewing the evidence I provided, Ms. Lynn pushed up her glasses, her eyes sharp."Mr. Lester, your handling of this matter was very decisive, which has given us a significant advantage for subsequent actions."Ms. Lynn neatly categorized the documents."Currently, there are two core demands. First, to clear you of responsibility for the $8,000 online loan. Second, to recover the $75,000 overseas transfer.""The online loan part is straightforward," Ms. Lynn said. "Although facial recognition was used, as long as the police determine that Jack Lester fraudulently operated your phone without your knowledge while you were unconscious, the loan will not be considered your true intention. I will draft a lawyer's letter to the loan platform for you. With that, and the police's case filing receipt, this debt will be directly transferred to Jack Lester, and it won't affect your credit score.""
