My Family Forced Me to Climb up the Chimney Chapter 10
Rachel stopped sobbing and started howling.Wendy dropped to her knees. Her hands plunged into the snow, and her shoulders heaved with silent sobs.Mom just lay sprawled on the ground with a hollow gaze. She kept murmuring, “It’s all coming back around... every single thing…”I walked to the rusted iron ladder beside the chimney and reached out to touch the frozen railing.“Did you know that every day, I thought about whether I should throw each of you up there and make you experience those eight hours for yourselves?“But I realized that death like that would be too easy for you.“I want you to live.“I want you to live the way you’re living now. I want you to be penniless, abandoned by everyone, drowning in regret every single day, and watching everything you ever treasured rot away piece by piece.”The New Year’s bells rang out in the distance. The sounds of the city’s celebrations drifted faintly through the air.But it felt like another world here. There was only wind, sn

A week before New Year’s Eve the following year, Gale Corporation’s last remaining capital chain finally snapped.Through three offshore shell companies, I drained every last line of credit they had.The bank delivered its ultimatum on Christmas Eve. If the interest was not paid by the first working day after New Year’s Eve, a full asset freeze would be set in motion.At 3 p.m. on December 24, all of them received the same text message at the same time.[Tonight at 8 p.m., at the abandoned factory in the western suburbs, we’ll discuss an urgent bridge loan of $300,000,000. This is your only chance.]They arrived much earlier than the agreed time.The factory’s iron gate stood open, with light spilling from within.They supported each other as they walked in. Then, they saw me.“Yannick?” Mom sounded surprised. Then, she exclaimed in joy. “I knew it! I knew you were…”She lunged forward to grab my hand, but my bodyguards blocked her.Rachel fell to her knees in the snow with a

“I was never engaged to Mr. Jason Gale.” Before the cameras, her eyes were shadowed with dark circles, and her voice was hoarse. “All previous rumors on this matter were completely false.”This broke the internet.Jason rushed to the Jones family that night. He cried and begged, but Mrs. Jones gave him the cold shoulder.“Our family isn’t worthy of someone like you with such a venomous soul.”He had no choice but to slink back home in disgrace.He was met by Rachel’s disdainful gaze. She slammed the door in his face.“Don’t you ever set foot in this house again!”With nowhere left to go, he ended up hiding in a cheap rental on the outskirts of the city.There were no servants, no designer brands, and no entourage.He learned how to use public washing machines, haggled over prices at the wet market, and cursed the world at night with a bottle of beer in his hand.Meanwhile, Paul and his bunch, who used to hang around Jason, had long since deleted all photos with him. They post

Her hands trembled as she opened it. The evidence inside was shocking. Jason’s biological mother was the head nurse of the maternity ward at that hospital back then.Also, Jason had secretly reunited with his biological parents two years ago.The most mind-blowing things were a few encrypted emails.[Mom, the two old fools in the Gale family transferred more shares to me again.][Dad, the money in the Cairnhold accounts is ready to move. It’d be safer to transfer them to the Veridian Isles.][Just wait a little longer. Once the two old farts are gone, our family can be together forever.]When Mom saw these, her eyes narrowed. She opened her mouth, but she could not make any sound. Then, she collapsed backward.The hospital diagnosed her with a brain hemorrhage. The left side of her body was paralyzed, and she could barely speak.Rachel pulled all the surveillance footage.On the screen, it was revealed that Jason’s so-called “golf time” every Wednesday was actually him visitin

When the fire hoses finally stopped spraying, the once-elegant West Villa had been reduced to a charred ruin, with choking white smoke still rising from the rubble.Rachel’s face was full of scratches from Wendy’s nails, but she did not seem to feel the pain. She just stared at the wreckage with a vacant gaze.Meanwhile, Wendy looked like she had lost her mind.She shook off the firefighters who tried to hold her back and scrambled wildly through the scorching ashes with bare hands.Her fingers were burned to a bloody pulp, but she did not stop.Hatred flickered in Jason’s eyes. He stepped forward and said in a soft voice, “Wendy, please don’t do this. Yannick… he’s been carrying so much pain. But even then, he shouldn’t have done this today…“If you want to blame someone, blame me…”Like countless times before, he fished for sympathy from the others.Wendy pushed his hands away so forcefully that he staggered backward.“Get away!“I disappointed Yannick… I broke his heart!

On New Year’s Eve, I was forced to wear a high-collared suit to hide the wounds all over my body that still had not healed.They gave me a sedative, which made me too weak to resist. I was dragged into the party like a puppet.“Smile!” Mom’s hand dug into my lower back, and she flashed a perfect motherly smile.“Today is your brother’s big day! Get that miserable look off your face!”Jason led Wendy by the hand. When he passed by my wheelchair, he “accidentally” bumped into me.He leaned down. His breath brushed my ear. “Loser, take a guess. How many of the guests tonight have watched the exciting livestream of you climbing the chimney?”Camera flashes went off one after another. The guests murmured among themselves about how gracious the Gale family was for letting a worthless and disgraced son like me show up at an occasion like this.The moment Wendy swept her gaze over at me, Paul and his gang circled in like sharks that had caught the scent of blood.“Mr. Gale, how about l
