เข้าสู่ระบบThe Bourns case shook the entire city of Jezelworth.In the end, Olivia was found guilty on multiple charges and sentenced to death, carried out immediately.Conrad and Wallace, who were both involved, were sentenced to life in prison and 20 years behind bars, respectively.Bourn Enterprise fell apart overnight. Abby moved fast—she took over the company, restructured it, and rebuilt it from the ground up.Everything was finally over. I had taken back everything that once belonged to my father and me.The first thing I did was move my father's grave from that lonely hill behind the old estate to the best cemetery in the city.I replaced his headstone with a new one, carved with his real name: Will Hampton.Abby took me to the coast.She rented out an entire stretch of ocean and a luxury cruise ship just for us.I stood on the deck, watching the city lights glitter in the distance, feeling lighter than I ever had before.My revenge was complete. My father's name was cleared.
The whole gala hall fell into a strange, eerie silence.Everyone stared at Olivia on stage as if she were some kind of monster."N-No… It wasn't me…"Olivia finally found her voice after the shock. She sat weakly on the floor, pointing at the big screen and shaking her head manically."It's all fake… Abby and Marshall framed me… They're trying to ruin me!"She screamed and struggled like a mad dog, trying to fight back one last time.But no one believed her."Framed? Olivia, when you planned that accident and killed my parents, did you ever think this day would come?" Abby said."When you stole my father's inheritance and threw me out like trash, did you ever think this day would come?" This time, I was the one who spoke.I stepped out from behind Abby and walked slowly toward her."You treated me as if I were worthless and treasured a housekeeper's son instead. You spent your whole life climbing over others, stepping on their bones just to reach the top. But in the end, wh
"No… This is impossible!" Wallace screamed like a madman. He grabbed the birth certificate and tore it to pieces."This is fake! It's forged! Marshall, it's you! You set me up!"His eyes were bloodshot, and his nails almost clawed at my face.On the screen, the birth certificate clearly showed that I was Olivia's real son.Olivia and Conrad, in the audience, were stunned. The color left their faces, and they looked awful.The whole gala hall went from dead silence to shocked whispers and gasps."Oh my god! Their identities are mixed up—it feels like we're in a movie!""So Marshall is the real son? That poor thing. He's been through so much!""The Bourns are terrible. They used their real son as a tool and treated the fake as if he were a treasure!"In the middle of that uproar, I picked up the microphone."Wallace, there's one more thing in the safe."Wallace turned sharply and stared at me.I walked to the safe and took out another sealed folder from the bottom."My dad
The night of the charity gala glittered with bright lights and famous faces.The event, personally organized by Abby, was one of the biggest business galas in Jezelworth that year, drawing in nearly every wealthy family in the city.The Bourns, being the supposed stars of the evening, were seated in the most prominent spot up front.Olivia wore a custom-made evening gown, holding herself with the air of a successful businesswoman as she mingled and chatted with other elites.Conrad and Wallace looked sharp in their designer suits, basking in the admiring and envious stares from everyone around.When Abby and I walked in, the entire room seemed to stir.She was still in her wheelchair, her face calm and unreadable.Wallace lifted his glass of champagne and swaggered over to us, a smug grin curling his lips."Hey, you guys made it." He glanced down at me with mock warmth, then deliberately flicked his eyes toward Abby's legs. "I heard things haven't been easy for you, Marshall. W
The air in the study suddenly felt heavy.If the safe went back to the Bourns, it would be out of our control. Olivia was a very suspicious person. She would try every way she could to open it.But Abby didn't panic. After a moment, she looked up with a plan in her eyes."Actually, it's a good thing that he's coming back," she said slowly. "That way, we don't need to wait any longer."She looked at me. "They've always wanted a reward. Now is the time we give them one."I understood what she meant right away.The next morning, I called Olivia again and sounded completely broken."Mom… I really can't take it…" My voice trembled. "Abby doesn't even treat me like a human being! The last time I asked her about that project and the car, she locked me in the basement. Now, she thinks I'm worth nothing. The only thing I have left is what Dad left behind."On the other end, Olivia was quiet. She was clearly weighing her options.I threw out the bait. "Abby knows about the bonds Dad l
The way the Bourns kept taking and never giving made one thing very clear. In their eyes, I wasn't a son or a brother. I was just a tool they could throw away anytime."If they want a sad little drama, then let's give them one," I suggested. "The worse it looks, the more they'll put all their hopes on Wallace and that safe in the countryside. That way, they'll stop bothering us."Abby understood right away.We had to make them believe that I was being driven to the edge by her cruelty, too broken to think of anything else, and certainly not about that safe.So from that day on, we both reached a quiet agreement and started playing our parts.Abby kept pretending to be the cold, unpredictable woman everyone in town feared, and I acted like the poor stand-in husband she was slowly breaking down.I waited for the right time, then called Olivia."Mom?" My voice shook, tired and weak."What's wrong? You sound weak. You're a grown man—pull yourself together!" she snapped."Mom… I ca
