They Made Me My Brother Chapter 9 Rising from the Ashes
A year later, the project Aiden and I had been working on finally had a breakthrough.We won a prestigious national research award, and the company's market value increased tenfold.I was no longer Luke's shadow, nor was I a stand-in for the Henderson family.I was Julian Henderson. I was a man who had reached the top of the industry through his own abilities.I saw Aiden on the day of the awards ceremony.He was leaning against the wall at the end of the hallway, smoking. The smoke curled around him, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.I walked over and handed him a bottle of water. "You should quit. Smoking is bad for you."He took the bottle and stubbed out his cigarette. "Julian, do you hate your brother?"The question caught me off guard. Then, I smiled. "I used to. I hated him for taking all the glory and all the love, but not anymore."I looked out the window at the countless lights shining across the city. "He was just someone who was even more pitiful

The press conference was over.The Henderson family had become the laughingstock of the entire industry.To protect themselves, the Rivers family immediately announced that they were calling off the engagement with the Henderson family and were suing Willow for damaging the family's reputation.I later heard from the grapevine that Willow had been forcibly sent overseas to a psychiatric hospital.My father had suffered a stroke and was lying in a hospital bed, partially paralyzed and barely able to speak.My mother remained by his side the entire time.She came to see me once, having found me outside the joint laboratory Aiden and I had just established.She looked much older. Most of her hair had turned white, and her eyes were vacant as she looked at me. The arrogance she had once carried was gone."Julian…" she called my name in a dry, hoarse voice. "Your father wants to see you."I looked at her without saying a word.She grabbed my arm, tears streaming down her face. "I

The deadline for the bet was upon me. The press conference was packed with reporters and industry heavyweights.Every eye was fixed on the stage. Aiden stood on one side, while I stood on the other.My parents and Willow sat in the front row, tension written all over their faces.According to the proceedings, I was supposed to present the final results of the Genesis project first.I walked onto the stage and opened the presentation. The first slide showed a photo of my brother, Luke.Beneath it was a single line: "In Memory of a Fallen Genius."A commotion broke out in the audience while my parents' faces instantly went stark white.I ignored them and forged on. Instead of presenting any technical results, I played the video of my brother's confession."I shouldn't have stolen what belonged to you… I shouldn't have destroyed you…" My brother's desperate voice echoed throughout the venue.The entire room erupted. Camera flashes went off like crazy, aimed at both Aiden and me.

I didn't go looking for Aiden. Instead, I went to my brother's grave. His photo was etched onto the cold gravestone, that eternally confident smile frozen until time eroded everything away."Luke, you were such an idiot." I placed the black notebook in front of the gravestone. "They used you, and you were too stupid to see it."The night wind was bitterly cold, making my face sting. I sat there for a long time, sitting there and staring at nothing until the sky began to lighten.…I returned to the company the next day like nothing was out of the ordinary. Sure enough, Willow was already there. There were faint dark circles beneath her eyes. Clearly, she had not slept a wink last night."Luke, where did you go last night?" she asked tremulously."I went to see some old friends." I walked past her and headed straight for my office.She followed me inside and closed the door behind her. "Luke, we need to talk."She took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind. "The
They Made Me My Brother Chapter 5 The Truth Behind His Death
When I returned to the company, I immediately called a meeting with the core members of the project.I presented my revised proposal to them.The conference room erupted."Mr. Henderson, you've just completely overturned your previous theory!""This is too risky! It means starting the entire project from scratch!""I object! This is a waste of time and resources!"Their objections came one after another.My parents rushed over after hearing the commotion. The moment they saw my new proposal, their faces turned livid."This is ridiculous!" My father slammed his palm against the table. "Luke! Do you even know what you're doing? This is the work you've spent years on. You can't just throw it all out!"My mother became frantic as well. "Luke, don't be hasty! There isn't much time left before the deadline for the bet agreement!"I looked at them coldly. "This is my project. I make the decisions here."I swept my gaze across the agitated crowd in the conference room."If anyone h
They Made Me My Brother Chapter 4 The Thief's Secret
I opened the folder named "THIEF." To my confusion, there was only one document inside.When I opened it, I found a diary sitting inside. It wasn't written in my brother's handwriting, so it clearly belonged to someone else.The diary's owner had meticulously documented how my brother had stolen another team's core idea, disguised it as his own theory, and ultimately used it to create the Genesis project.At the very end of the diary, it read, "Luke Henderson, you stole my life from me. I will never let you off the hook even when I die."The date at the bottom was the day before my brother's death.Cold sweat instantly soaked my back. My brother had actually stolen his so-called genius theory.Did that mean that he had killed himself out of guilt by jumping from the building?I closed the document, my heart pounding wildly.Just then, someone knocked on the study door. "Luke, I made you some coffee."It was Willow.I quickly restored the computer to its original login screen
