Family Emotions

After my adoptive parents finally find their biological son, Jason Miller, he decides to turn our lives into a full-blown drama about the real heir versus the imposter in a wealthy family. He has security cameras installed all over the house for no apparent reason, not even sparing the bathroom. One day, while he's showering, an electrical fault in one of the cameras sends a shock through him and lands him in the hospital. His eyes blazing with anger, he accuses me of trying to get rid of him to our parents and insists on calling the police. On another occasion, when we have dinner at a hotel, he slips and falls into the swimming pool, then tries to drag me in with him. He claims I've pushed him into the water and that if he hadn't reacted quickly enough to pull me in, I would have killed him. While our parents are out paying our hospital bills, he shoots me a vicious glare and hisses, "Let me tell you something. I'm not like those other idiots who just swallow their pride and put up with everything. You can't fool my parents about who you really are!" He then swears, "I'll make sure you get kicked out of this family." I sneer inwardly. Does this poor idiot really have no idea? I'm the one who's built this family's fortune from the ground up! If I walk away with the wealth I've earned, he won't be much of a rich kid anymore.

Chapitre 1

Chapter 1

On the very first day Jason Miller came home, he turned the atmosphere in the house into something straight out of a spy thriller.

My adoptive parents ushered him inside, eagerly gesturing toward the expensive furniture and tasteful decor throughout the house. They rubbed their hands together nervously as they tried to make him feel welcome.

"Jason, this is your home. You can stay here from now on. We know you've been through so much."

Jason wore a faded denim outfit that looked as though it had seen years of wear. His eyes swept over every corner of the house before finally settling on me.

"So, this is the adopted son?" He lifted his chin slightly, making no effort to hide the hostility in his voice.

I set down the financial newspaper I was reading and extended my hand with a smile. "Hi, I'm Daniel."

Jason ignored my outstretched hand and merely snorted before turning to my adoptive parents.

"Mom, Dad, now that I'm home, don't you think it's time we established some ground rules? I'm not comfortable having outsiders around."

My adoptive parents exchanged awkward glances with me, unsure of how to respond. My father, Michael Miller, was a kindhearted man who hated conflict, so he quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Jason, Daniel is your brother. He's been keeping this family going for more than ten years—"

"Keeping this family going?" Jason interrupted, his voice dripping with disbelief.

"You mean by using resources that were supposed to belong to me? He's been occupying what's rightfully mine all these years. It's time he gave it back."

I could only sigh inwardly.

I was pretty sure this young man had read far too many stories about the rightful heir versus the impostor in a wealthy family. He seemed to have developed a full-blown victim complex of his own.

Still, I didn't hold it against him. He'd spent 20 years lost to the world, after all, and that couldn't have been easy.

Besides, my adoptive parents had done so much for me over the years. The last thing I wanted was to put them in an awkward position, so I decided to take the initiative and back down.

"Mom, Dad, Jason just got back, so he'll probably need some time to adjust. I have some business to take care of at the office anyway, so I'll skip dinner at home tonight."

I thought my willingness to compromise would restore peace to the family.

Little did I know that this was only the beginning of my nightmare.

When I came home the next day, I found that the entire house had been transformed. Cameras had been installed everywhere, lining the hallways, covering the living room, and even monitoring the area outside my study. Their red indicator lights blinked like countless eyes, watching our every move. Frowning, I turned to Jason, who was busy directing the workers installing the cameras. "What exactly is going on here?" Jason folded his arms and answered as though he had every right to do whatever he pleased. "I'm just protecting myself in case someone in this house tries to hurt me. After all, I've gotten in the way of certain people's interests." I rubbed my forehead helplessly. "Jason, this house already has the most advanced security system in all of Aurelia, with security guards patrolling around the clock. There's really no need to install all these cameras." "Of course, you'd say that. You're the one benefiting from the current arrangement," Jason sneered. "Mom and Dad have

On the day Jason was discharged from the hospital, he suddenly turned to my adoptive parents and asked, "Why aren't we having a welcome-home party?" My adoptive parents exchanged confused glances, clearly having no idea what he was talking about. Jason frowned as though the answer should have been obvious. "Our family has a huge name in the industry. Now that you've found your biological son, shouldn't you throw a party to announce my identity to the entire city? Why haven't you done that for me? Is it because Daniel won't allow it? Is he afraid I'll steal his spotlight?" I'd been resting in the passenger seat with my eyes closed, but I opened them as soon as I heard that.Both my adoptive parents had lost their jobs when they were younger and had supported my education by running a street stall. It wasn't until I'd made a name for myself in business and taken the Miller Group public that I brought them to live with me so they could enjoy their retirement. Our family had start

The other diners began shooting us strange looks, whispering among themselves and pointing in our direction. I wiped the water from my face and fixed Jason with a cold stare. "Jason, there are security cameras around the pool." Jason froze for a moment before raising his voice even louder. "You probably bribed whoever's in charge of the cameras, too! You've got money and power. You can fake anything you want! Life has been so unfair to me." Mom sighed. "Enough arguing. Get to the hospital, both of you! It's freezing out here, and we don't want either of you coming down with pneumonia." And just like that, all four of us ended up back at the hospital. My adoptive parents rushed around, fetching hot water one moment and taking care of hospital bills and prescriptions the next. While they were out paying the bills, Jason and I were left alone in the hospital room. He'd been lying weakly in bed, groaning in discomfort, but the moment my adoptive parents left, he sat straight

The room fell deathly silent. Less than three minutes later, the security footage arrived on my phone. I opened the video, turned the volume all the way up, and held the screen out for my adoptive parents to see. The footage clearly showed Jason pulling out his IV needle, walking over to my bed, and viciously threatening me. It also captured him pretending to fall and trying to frame me the moment he heard the door open. His words echoed through the quiet hospital room, each one painfully clear."I'll make sure you get kicked out of this family! I'll ruin your reputation and leave you with absolutely nothing!"After watching the entire video, my adoptive parents' faces turned ashen. They glanced at me, then at Jason, who was huddled in the corner, trembling. "Jason…" Mom sighed helplessly, trying to explain. "Daniel isn't trying to take anything away from you." Dad quickly stepped in to smooth things over as well. "That's right. I know you've spent all these years away from

As I watched the number of comments and shares continue to climb, my expression darkened by the second. At the same time, my phone began vibrating nonstop as spam calls and a barrage of harassing text messages flooded in.The head of the company's PR department knocked before hurrying into my office, sweat pouring down his face. "Mr. Miller, the company's stock hit its daily trading limit as soon as the market opened. We've also received calls from numerous business partners demanding to know what's going on. Some have even threatened to terminate their contracts." I rubbed my temples, completely baffled by all the inexplicable hostility. Ever since Jason had moved into our home, I'd never done anything to wrong him. So why was he so determined to treat me like his sworn enemy?But I knew that, at this point, my adoptive parents would be the ones to suffer the most. I immediately put everything else on hold and rushed home. As expected, a heavy, gloomy atmosphere hung over

Just then, a commotion erupted outside the front door. The next second, Jason stormed into the house with a large group of people trailing behind him. Among them were livestreamers carrying phone mounts, so-called independent media reporters lugging professional cameras, and several rowdy-looking fans who seemed all too eager to get involved. Holding up his phone to livestream the entire scene, Jason shouted at the top of his lungs, "Listen up, everyone! Today, I'm going to expose this parasite live and take back everything that rightfully belongs to me!" The people he'd brought along didn't even bother putting on shoe covers. They trampled all over the expensive Royal Dynasty Carpet before shoving their cameras and microphones right into my adoptive parents' faces as they sat on the couch, wiping away their tears."Mr. and Mrs. Miller, don't be afraid! Millions of people online are here to stand up for you! Did that imposter threaten you? Just give us a nod, and we'll expose hi

The ambulance finally arrived, and Mom and I accompanied Dad to the hospital, but Jason didn't come with us. He was too busy popping champagne at the mansion, basking in the adoration of his fans during his livestream, and indulging in his fantasy of being the heir to a wealthy family. At the hospital, Dad finally regained consciousness after receiving emergency treatment. The doctor explained that the episode had been triggered by extreme emotional distress, which had caused his blood pressure to spike, and that he needed plenty of rest and time to recover. Mom sat beside his hospital bed, holding his hand in silence, while I stood by the window, watching the traffic stream past below. Just then, my phone buzzed. It was Josh. "Mr. Miller, we've got a serious problem." Josh kept his voice low, though I could hear a commotion in the background. "Your brother, Jason… He's brought a bunch of people to the company. He's claiming he's the new CEO of Miller Group and its rightful hei

Jason jumped in surprise, then pointed at the screen and launched into a furious tirade. "Daniel, you have some nerve showing your face here! Hand over the company seal right now, or I'll sue you for embezzlement." He then turned to Mom. "And Mom! Why are you with that outsider? Get back here right now! This is where you belong."Watching her biological son rant and rave on the screen, Mom looked at him with profound heartbreak. She pulled out a thick stack of documents and held them up to the camera. Her voice was hoarse, but every word came through clearly. "Everyone watching, my name is Linda Wilson. I'm Jason's biological mother and Daniel's adoptive mother. Today, I'd like to clear up a few things in front of all of you." The livestream chat immediately flooded with comments."Is the old lady being forced to do this?" "The imposter must be holding her hostage!" Mom ignored the comments and, with trembling hands, held up the first document. "This is Miller Group's b

Jason spent the night at the police station. Since the incident wasn't considered particularly serious and Mom pleaded on his behalf, he wasn't held for long. The police gave him a stern warning and a lengthy lecture before finally letting him go. But by the time he walked out of the station, his world had changed completely. He was no longer the long-suffering biological heir who'd supposedly been robbed of his rightful place. Instead, he'd become the internet's favorite laughingstock: a delusional wannabe rich kid and a new breed of beggar.Mom and I brought Dad home from the hospital, and at Mom's insistence, we hired a moving company to help them move out of the mansion. Outside, movers came and went, packing up the belongings that belonged to my adoptive parents and Jason. Truthfully, they didn't own much. All the expensive furniture, decorative pieces, and appliances had been purchased by me, so none of them actually belonged to my adoptive parents or Jason. When Jason f
