There is a dead mouse stuck in the air conditioning unit during summer, filling the classroom with a foul odor. Henry Hudson, my homeroom teacher, instantly blames it on me, saying I don't shower. He mocks me for reeking of pigs and polluting the air in the classroom since Mom and Dad raise pigs for a living. He even insists that Mom and Dad sell our pigs to buy new air conditioners for the classroom. I flush with shame as I repeatedly insist that I shower every single day, but my classmates still mock me and call me "Stinker Tucker". I am forced to transfer to another school after enduring the endless insults and hostile glares from countless people. Years later, I head a major biopharmaceutical company that houses numerous talented innovation teams. It is through a rigorous screening process that a team led by a young PhD graduate, fresh out of his studies abroad, emerges on top. I plan to allocate 20 million dollars in funding to him because of his stellar resume and expertise, which is exactly what we need for our project. I, however, instantly call my assistant over after seeing the name listed among his family details. "Disqualify him from the selection, have him get his final pay from finance, and show him the door. I don't need the son of a crook working in my company."

Capítulo 1

Chapter 1

Everyone in the conference room was taken aback, especially Peter Chase, my assistant. He had worked with me for more than 20 years, ever since I founded the company. He knew I was neither someone who treated people according to their status nor someone who acted impulsively.

Besides, the selection process across all levels of the company, including management, had been going on for two months. Ivan Hudson's excellence and fit met my requirements best. In fact, I had just leaned in to whisper in Peter's ear, praising Ivan repeatedly.

"Ivan is quite impressive. He earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees in biology from Sterling University, followed by a PhD abroad. His research focus aligns perfectly with our investment project, and he has published over a dozen papers in major journals. He really is top-notch."

Ivan's presentation on stage was completely confident. He spoke eloquently and made no mistakes.

I had even talked with the board about granting him tens of millions in funding, but at the crucial moment, I put a halt to everything and decided to fire him right on the spot.

Sadie Lowe, my wife, nudged me with her elbow, looking completely confused. "You can keep him under review if you're not satisfied with him, Timothy. If word gets out that we fired someone this talented so suddenly, it won't be good for the company's reputation.

"Besides, as far as I'm concerned, Ivan is the best fit we have for the job."

I folded my arms and chuckled dismissively without saying anything. I knew that he was the most suitable candidate, but unfortunately, I saw the family information on Ivan's file. His father was listed as Henry Hudson, a 65-year-old high school vice principal.

I had trembled uncontrollably when I saw that Ivan came from the same city, district, and even the very same town as I did. It was too much of a coincidence—there was no way such a thing could be a pure accident.

I looked at Ivan, who wore an anxious expression as he waited for my explanation. I was the one in charge of a pharmaceutical empire worth tens of billions, with the authority to decide anyone's fate, after all.

I simply said, "You don't deserve to be in my company since your father is Henry Hudson. That's all there is to it."

Chapter 2
In that instant, the memories came rushing back, bringing me back to that summer I spent in high school.I was in my first year of high school back then. I had been admitted to the best school in the city, Centraxis High School, as the top student from Ridgeview Middle School. I had been excited to start high school, only to get a harsh welcome from my homeroom teacher, Henry Hudson, on the first day.Mom, Dad, and I got off the bus holding worn burlap feed sacks.I located the tenth-grade Class 12 registration area using the signs by the school gate, then happily brought my paperwork to sign in and get my textbooks. Mom and Dad walked behind me, beaming with pride, since I was the very first kid from our village to be admitted to Centraxis High School.Yet, as soon as I reached the classroom, Henry blocked my path. He was wearing designer clothes, a sweater draped over his dress shirt, and gold-rimmed glasses. He opened his thermos, took a sip of coffee, then spat it out onto Da

Henry began finding fault with me all the time. He went so far as to move my seat to the last row of the class.I was slightly nearsighted, and a pair of glasses in the city cost several hundred dollars—that was nearly a month's income for Mom and Dad—so I was reluctant to get one. I eventually had to sit there in class, holding up my head and squinting as hard as I could.Henry noticed and asked pointedly, "Why are you sticking your neck out like a turtle, Timothy? Is that some custom from your village?"I could already pick up on his subtle insults by then, and as a high schooler, I felt utterly embarrassed by that. I blushed instantly when the female students in class turned around to stare at me. I ducked my head down, trying to make myself as small as possible.Despite everything, I still kept my grades in the top five of the entire grade.I kept my head down in class, thinking I could get through high school without any problems, but that summer incident after my first year

I asked tentatively, "H-How much does an air conditioner cost?""It's not much—just 2,800 dollars," Henry replied casually as he wiped his wristwatch.I was absolutely stunned after hearing that amount. I quickly suppressed the idea I had just formed, realizing that even if we sold all the family's pigs, we would only fetch around 7,000 dollars—and it was all money my family had worked hard for. "It's fine then, Mr. Hudson. I'll be heading off now."I kept my mouth shut and turned to leave, feeling thoroughly defeated.Just then, Henry started chatting loudly with another teacher behind me. "You know, my dog has had an upset stomach lately. He won't eat any dog food I buy him, so I had to buy imported steak instead. I bought 20 slabs for only 2,800 dollars, which isn't expensive at all! "That dog of mine seriously lives better than some people do!"Hearing that, my eyes turned bloodshot, and a hollow ache settled in my chest, as if someone had stabbed a hole right through my

Chapter 5
Henry had taken all of our family's savings.I knew he had probably taken a substantial amount for himself. After all, the new air conditioners in the classroom were just two cheap, off-brand ones. But I didn't dare to question him. It wasn't because I was afraid—I just couldn't bear to disappoint Mom and Dad after all the sacrifices they had made for me.I started blocking out everyone's judgment from that point on and threw myself into my studies. I was convinced that good grades were my ticket into a top university, where I could eventually land a high-paying job and support Mom and Dad.Henry stopped picking on me from then on, so I enjoyed a relatively peaceful stretch of time.One day, I suddenly received devastating news. Dad had taken a part-time delivery job at night because our family needed money. He became so tired that he fell asleep at the wheel and ended up in a car accident.I was attending Henry's class when the call from the hospital came through.Although a t

Chapter 6
Sadie looked at me with concern and handed over an open bottle of water. "You alright, Timothy? Is something wrong? Do you want to head back and take a rest first?"Seeing the concern on Sadie's face, I reached over and held her hand, finally coming back to my senses.I didn't answer her question. I turned to look at Ivan instead, saying, "Your father, Henry Hudson, was my homeroom teacher when I was in my first year of high school."Sadie finally put it together and whipped her head toward me. "Is that the Henry you told me about? Is Ivan his son?"She looked extremely angry as she tightened her grip on my hand. Sadie was the only family I had left. She had heard about my past and had cried many times because of what I had gone through.Ivan clearly missed the point and hurriedly said, "That's quite a coincidence. It's just that my father has already been promoted to vice principal. I even have to treat him like one whenever I'm at home. His guidance played a big part in my stu

I froze for a moment when I got a clear look at Henry's aging face. He, who had once been so overbearing and disdainful of the poor, looked just like an average elderly man now.I suddenly wondered if my parents would have looked like this if they had lived to this day. I tightened my fists at that thought and walked over to them.Henry suddenly dropped to his knees before me before I could even say anything. He then grabbed my pant leg and said, "I was completely in the wrong back then, so please don't make things hard for my son, Mr. Tucker!"In that instant, most of the people in the company, including the executives, gathered around to see what was happening.Henry shed crocodile tears and said helplessly, "I know I was a little harsh with you during your first year in high school, but I never expected you to hold a grudge over it for so long. I was only trying to help you back then. "Isn't it only right for teachers to reprimand their students? You only criticize the ones yo

Chapter 8
Just as expected, Ivan flew back to his hometown right after leaving the company. He went straight into Henry's bedroom and started digging through his old belongings. Ivan had considered the situation carefully. Henry had insulted a few students and taken some bribes, but he was already old enough to retire. He was aware that even if those things came to light, they wouldn't amount to much.He only cared about letting me vent my frustration. He grabbed an old duffel bag and packed away all of Henry's old belongings, not even leaving his official IDs behind.Henry's bedroom was eventually stripped bare, looking like a disaster zone after a tornado.Ivan launched a live stream a week later. He even got everyone in the company to tune in and bribed a local influencer to mirror the live stream. He had a pretty eye-catching title for the live stream, too—"Exposing My Vice Principal Father for the Greater Good."That live stream pulled in over 50,000 viewers and landed on the local

I had expected it to some degree, but Ivan's shameless behavior still managed to astound me.Sadie stared at me in disbelief. "You definitely can't hire someone who would do this to his own father, I gave her a reassuring nod. "It doesn't matter how skilled he is when he's rotten on the inside. How could I ever feel at ease hiring a person with such terrible character? What's more, today is only the beginning. I'm not doing this just to watch a nasty dogfight between father and son. I'm doing it for…"I picked up the faded old photographs and the various pieces of evidence. Ivan had given me all the evidence Henry had kept hidden. I also had my lawyer and private investigator search for the former victims mentioned in the live stream. I wasn't going to accuse anyone without evidence like Henry had. I chose to handle it through legal channels and make sure he faced justice.…I was present on the day the police took Henry into custody. He was a teacher who had spent his whole li
