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 bui

  • The Fake Heir's Silent Exit   Chapter 12

    After the acquisition, I returned to Mustralia.My boss kept his word and awarded me a generous bonus.With that money, I bought a small wooden house filled with sunlight in the local area.I planted flowers and greenery around it, and even adopted a kitten.My parents still called me from time to time.My father said they had used the money I gave them to buy a new house, and no longer lived with Gale.He said Gale had developed a gambling addiction and quickly squandered all the acquisition funds.He sighed and told me that Jane had refused to marry Gale no matter what, yet he had desperately tried to force the marriage. 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

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

    When I saw Jane again across the negotiation table, her face had already shed its youthful softness. Every gesture now carried the composure and sharp efficiency of a mature, capable woman.The moment her eyes landed on me, a flicker of light passed through them. She stood up at once in surprise."Alex…"She studied me from head to toe, as though she had countless things she wanted to say.I only nodded politely and distantly."Hello."Gale's eyes widened. "Alex…? Why are you the one handling the acquisition? Why are you still haunting me? You took twenty-five years of my life—now you want to take my company too?"He rushed forward, his emotions collapsing."You fake, you thief—why don't you just die…"The past was dragged back into the light once again.But I listened as if it belonged to someone else's story. There wasn't even a ripple left in my heart.I opened my laptop and, amid his shouting, began driving the negotiation forward.With solid preparation, I quickly gain
