로그인One year after I was confirmed to be a fake heir, all my friends said I was like a completely different person. I was no longer spoiled or entitled. I no longer desperately sought even a passing glance from my parents. And I no longer exhausted myself trying every possible way to win Jane Fraser's love. The harsh reality of financial hardship left me running ragged every day. It also made me understand, with painful clarity, that affection and romance were the most useless things in this world. As they wished, I stopped fighting. I stopped competing for anything at all. Later, when Jane brought the real heir back home, I simply went quietly to the guest room and waited in silence, ready to give up everything that once belonged to me. But those who had long wanted me to be obedient and well-behaved were suddenly driven mad. They asked me, over and over, why I had stopped fighting back.

In the end, he even drugged her, damaging her reputation, and finally succeeded in marrying her.But the elders of Jane's family were not easy to deal with. Gale's reputation was already in ruins, and they made things difficult for him at every turn.As for Jane, she turned a blind eye to everything.Eventually, he broke down completely, and the two of them
In the end, Jane agreed to the divorce.On the day we collected the certificates, there were very few people. The entire process felt like someone had fast-forwarded time.I took the divorce certificate in my hand, as if I had finally been handed the freedom I had long been craving.After stepping out of the office, my father called me for the first time in a long while.There was a trace of guilt in his voice."I heard from the nurse that you paid my hospital fees? Your mother found a bank card at the hospital entrance. There's a million in it, and the password was written on the back."That handwriting… I recognize it. It's yours."Alex… my good son. I treated you so badly before, and yet, you still did this for me… I was so foolish, so blinded. I thought blood was everything, and forgot that you were the child I raised…"My mother suddenly spoke up from the side."Alex… I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have treated you like that. I shouldn't have blamed you for the switched-at-bi
Jane began coming to see me frequently.I was busy wrapping up handover work, while she would often sit beside me for hours on end.Rumors about us had already started spreading among my colleagues.A few colleagues who I was closer to even asked in private whether Jane had taken a liking to me.I only smiled and said nothing.One day, I was working overtime on a proposal when the lights suddenly went out.I fumbled in the darkness, trying to find the circuit breaker.At the corner of the corridor, I suddenly saw Jane holding a bouquet of flowers.In front of many colleagues, she dropped to one knee."Alex, I know I've done many things wrong in the past. The first time we got married, it was you who proposed to me. Today, let me be the one to propose. Give me a chance—let me marry you again."Cheers broke out all around us.I stood there, but felt nothing even close to joy."Stand up," I said calmly.But she refused to give up.Hurriedly, she pulled out the old wedding ri
I let out a soft sigh in my heart.Logically, I should have refused. But my feet moved on their own, and I followed her to the hospital.From a distance, I could already hear Gale's voice."Dad, Mom, Alex—the thief—is back. He's actually the buyer in charge of acquiring our company this time."Then I heard my father's voice drifting out from the ward."He has always had a talent for business. I knew I wasn't wrong about him.""Life really is cruel. I never thought the Boudreaux Group I built would end up in Alex's hands. If I'd known… if I'd known, I wouldn't have kicked him out back then and kept him instead… maybe the company wouldn't have fallen to this state…"My mother's tone was full of complaints."I told you so many times before—you just never listened. Your father warned you not to make reckless investments, but you insisted on doing things your way!"And now look at us—the entire family is ruined by you! Your father's surgery and nursing fees alone are a hundred thou
