Author: Little High
"What?! More than $10,000 is gone? Did you search everywhere?"

Dad's legs nearly gave out, his face full of disbelief.

"We looked everywhere! We practically tore the house apart! What are we supposed to do now? That was Preston's tuition money!"

Mom and Dad clung to each other, sobbing.

Preston, meanwhile, didn't seem bothered in the slightest. He even pulled a lollipop out of his pocket.

It wasn't one of the cheap lollipops sold at the corner store. The fancy packaging made it obvious that

  • The Prophecy That Broke Me   Chapter 8

    I heard that Dad nearly beat Preston to death, just like he'd done to me in my previous life.Mom and Grandma Cecelia fought desperately to protect him, so he survived, but one of his legs was still broken.Apparently, Dad only loved his biological son when it suited him. What he truly loved was his money. Anyone who cost him money could become a target, even his own son.How pathetic.After that, I moved in with Aunt Mallory and Grant for good.They treated me like their own son. For the first time in my life, I knew what it felt like to be truly loved. They spoiled me like a little prince.On my first day in their home, I asked Aunt Mallory why she'd believed me so completely."Because I was reborn too. In my previous life, I spent that entire day at the stock exchange. I watched the market rise and fall exactly the way it did this time. That's why I wasn't worried."Her answer left me speechless."After I found out you'd jumped to your death, I spent every day blaming mysel

    Everyone was stunned."Walter, are you playing along with Reed too?" Dad demanded.But Walter pulled out a medical report and threw it in Dad's face. "If you don't believe me, read it yourself! That's a test report from the state hospital!"All the relatives crowded around. The moment they saw the results, they were shocked."It's true... If they'd caught it any later, he might not have survived.""Could Reed really be able to predict the future?"Mom and Dad looked rattled, but they stubbornly refused to admit it."We told you, it's a coincidence! Getting one or two things right doesn't prove anything. Let's see him get every prediction right!"At that moment, Derek glanced outside and suddenly rushed out. His boss happened to be walking past the entrance."Mr. Walker, can I ask you something? Is the factory planning to lay off a group of workers soon?" he asked quietly.Mr. Walker's expression changed instantly. He looked around to make sure no one else was nearby before le

He even pulled a lollipop out of his pocket.It wasn't one of the cheap lollipops sold at the corner store. The fancy packaging made it obvious that it was an expensive imported brand.The moment Mom saw it, her eyes widened. She rushed over and grabbed Preston's hand. "Preston, who bought you that?""I bought it myself. But I used my own money, so I'm not giving you any! If you want one, buy it yourself!"With that, Preston pulled an entire handful of lollipops from his pocket.Mom stared at them, trembling all over. "I've seen these at the supermarket. They're imported. They cost $10 each! And you have this many? Where did you get the

    Cisco Steel, which had been soaring just moments ago, suddenly plunged before everyone's eyes.Meanwhile, Westfield Steel, the stock no one had believed in, began skyrocketing."What the hell is going on?"The investors stared at the screens in disbelief, shouting questions at the counter.One of the employees wiped the sweat from his forehead. "We just got the news ourselves. Cisco Steel has declared bankruptcy. Westfield Steel acquired the company. We didn't expect this either.""But we just bought all that Cisco stock! What are we supposed to do now?" one investor demanded anxiously."That's the stock market. There's no such thing as guaranteed profits. Try not to panic," the employee said, doing his best to calm them down.Dad looked completely stunned. He grabbed Preston by the shoulders and shook him hard. "Preston! Didn't you say you dreamed that this stock was going to go up? What the hell happened?"Preston looked bewildered. "I... I don't know. I saw that it was the o

    The moment Dad said that, everyone stared at Preston in shock.Since when could he predict the future? Had he been reborn too?Preston stood there with his chubby face lifted smugly."Robert, you're getting in on this too?" one of the relatives teased. "Don't tell me you've gone crazy thinking about getting rich.""You don't believe me? Just watch!"At that moment, the information on the TV screens began updating. Every investor in the room surged forward, staring intently at the numbers.Cisco Steel's stock price was climbing right before our eyes.Westfield Steel, meanwhile, was falling."How is that possible?" I cried.In my previous life, Westfield Steel had steadily climbed.How could this be happening?The investors went wild. People were already crowding the counters, pouring every cent they had into Cisco Steel.Dad was one of them."Oh, my brilliant boy! Your dad's about to be rich!" Dad shot me a smug look. "Wonder if some little prick is going to be so jealous h

    Dad was so angry at my challenge that he actually laughed. "You're five years old. What could you possibly have to bet with?"For a moment, I felt helpless. He was right. What could a five-year-old possibly wager?But then Aunt Mallory pulled me firmly into her arms."I believe him. I'll make the bet for him. If the stock doesn't go up, I'll pay back every cent of that $30,000, even if I have to sell everything I own. But if it does go up, Reed comes to live with me. Permanently."I stared at Aunt Mallory in shock, tears gathering in my eyes."Fine. I've wanted to get rid of that little prick for ages anyway. If you want him, take him!" Dad shouted. "But you said it yourself. If the stock doesn't go up, you owe me that $30,000! And I want it in writing, in front of the whole family!""Fine. We'll make the guardianship transfer official tomorrow, and I'll sign the agreement then. But you have to promise me one thing. From that day forward, you can never try to take him back for an
