Chapter 7

Author: Endless
I was beaten by the bodyguards yesterday and was covered in bruises. As Dad hugged me tightly, pressing against the wounds, I couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Dad looked at me curiously and asked what was going on.

I waved my hands and said it was nothing. I quickly changed the subject as I bent down to pick up the squid from the floor.

"Mom, are you making grilled squid tonight? I'm so looking forward to it," I said.

"Yeah, I remember Lydia loved my grilled squid. Why didn't she come back with you this time?"

I fell silent for a long time. With a strained smile, I looked up at them and replied, "Lydia won't be coming back. And I'm not going back to the Falkner family, either."

I then asked, "Dad, Mom, can I still be your son, Julian Stein?"

They stared at me for a moment, then gently patted my head.

"Of course. You'll always be our precious son. This will always be your home."

Looking at their kind smiles, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I collapsed into Mom's arms and so

    The Falkners left dejectedly.After that, Stella invested in our guesthouse. She even guided me through integrating the small fishing village's guesthouse, seafood market, and sea-based entertainment facilities into a thriving tourism chain.As Stein Fishing Village gained more popularity, big-name companies from Slyburgh started knocking on my door, seeking to collaborate or even buy us out.It was around this time that Corey and Xander showed up in front of me again.Corey tossed a document onto the table and said in a commanding tone, "Sign it."The title of the document read, "Stein Fishing Village Acquisition Proposal."I skimmed through it. He actually wanted to buy us out for five million dollars.Stein Fishing Village was worth at least 100 million dollars now!I looked at them like they were fools and threw the document straight into the trash.Corey slammed his hand on the table. "You bastard! You want to do this the hard way, huh? Don't forget what your last name is

    The old Falkner couple glared at me with darkened expressions as they saw how much I cared about Dad and Mom.Xander pressed his polished shoe against my face. "Apologize to Mom and Dad."The rain started pouring again, just like that day.Lying in the mud, I watched Mom and Dad being beaten by the bodyguards. My heart ached with an unbearable pain.Maybe I should've just died in that filthy gutter that day.I cried out in despair, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was wrong! I realize my mistake now! Please, just let my parents go."At that moment, Xander was suddenly shoved aside. A cold, sharp voice echoed above my head. "No, you're not the one at fault. They are."A black umbrella appeared over my head.Then, a soft, floral fragrance drifted toward me, and a handkerchief gently wiped the dirt from my face. As I looked up, a stunningly beautiful face came into view.For a moment, I forgot to cry.It was Stella Lawson, the current head of Lawson Group. She was Elian Lawson's illegit

    I was getting angrier with every word. I felt like I could strangle the woman in front of me, who only knew how to whimper and cry.Lydia had hurt me, yet here she was, acting like I was the one who had wronged her.I shook her hand off. "Now, get out! Right now! I feel sick just looking at you.""No, I won't leave," Lydia said. To my surprise, she dropped to her knees and clung to my legs. "Julian, I admit my body betrayed you, but my feelings for you have never changed. The only person I've ever loved is you!"I was rendered speechless."I slept with Xander because he threatened me. He said if I didn't, he would make your parents kick you out of the Falkner family. I did it all for you!"I harshly yanked her hands off me and pushed her away."You're just greedy for vanity. Don't pretend you're doing all those disgusting things out of love for me. Your slutty actions have nothing to do with me."Lydia's face flushed with anger. "Julian Faulkner! I've already lowered myself l

    I stood battered and bruised in the pouring rain, watching my so-called biological parents and their adopted son treat me—their actual son—with disdain as they sat in a luxury car.The world felt absurd beyond belief.Suddenly, my nose tingled, and tears rolled down my cheeks. Luckily, it was raining, so no one could see.I flipped Corey the bird in the rain. "Fuck you, you old shit! Your forgiveness isn't worth anything!" The Lincoln limousine drove off amidst Corey's frantic curses.…Fortunately, my rental apartment wasn't far.I dragged my bruised body and limped back to the place. After stripping off the foul-smelling clothes, I carefully washed myself from head to toe.Lying in bed, I tried to comfort myself that I'd start a new life tomorrow after a good rest.The next morning, I called the junk collector and sold off everything I had bought with Lydia—the projector, the couch, the mattress—all of it.Her clothes and her headphones went straight into the trash.I dr

    So, Joel really wasn't my son?I looked at Lydia. My heart broke so badly that it felt like I was suffocating.Lydia shook her head frantically. "No, it's not like you think, Julian. Let me explain—""You guessed it right, Julian. Let me tell you. The day Mom and Dad kicked you out of the company, Lydia climbed into my bed," Xander cut her off with a sneer."Well, that makes sense. I'm the CEO of a company, and you're just a useless country bumpkin. Any fool could tell who the smart choice was." Joel chimed in while clapping along, "Yeah, yeah! You're the best, Dad! That useless country bumpkin doesn't deserve Mom. She's a goddess!"No wonder Lydia had never wanted children after I came back to the Falkner family. She had been waiting and evaluating her options.I'd only just realized it now.All the childhood promises and all those vows were nothing but empty words when faced with greed.Fury consumed me, and I threw a punch straight at Xander's face. "You bastard!"Dad roa
