After their biological son returned, my parents sent me away to Exile Island. Once one set foot on that island, one would become prey for the wealthy. Yet, they ignored my pleas, allowing those rich men who arrived on the island to take turns tormenting me. In just a few days, photos of what I had suffered on the island were sent straight to my fiancée, the heiress of an elite family from the capital. She didn’t speak up for me. Instead, she turned around and publicly announced her engagement to the true heir. During an interview, someone asked her about me. Her whole body trembled with anger as she snapped, “Him? I never expected he’d turn out like that, running wild overseas, sleeping around like some kind of degenerate. It’s disgusting.” My parents put on a show of heartbreak. “We sent him abroad to study out of kindness. Who knew he’d behave so disgracefully? From now on, the Yule family has no such son.” After I was tortured to death on that island by those so-called rich people, my fiancée and the true heir held a wedding worth tens of millions. It was broadcast live across the internet, drawing unprecedented attention. However, even more spectacular than their wedding was the wedding gift I had sent them.

When the Embers Turn to Ash Chapter 8
Ralph stared at Agnes in disbelief. “Why, Agnes? You, too, believed he was nothing but a reckless, worthless man, so what are you doing now? What do I lack compared to him? I’m the biological son of the Yule family!”Agnes raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face. Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at him. “Shut up! I knew Jacob. I knew he would never leave the country without a reason, and he would never betray me. The moment I saw those photos, I knew something had happened to him!”I stood there, frozen. It felt like my soul was being ripped apart.Only then did I realize it wasn’t that she hadn’t tried to find me. In fact, she had sent men to search for me in secret, but Exile Island was too well hidden. With no other choice, she pretended to trust Ralph, getting close to him just to find clues about me. I found myself both laughing and crying when the truth dawned on me.Ralph tried to argue again, but she cut him off with another slap.“Jacob had a chance to l

Just as the Yule family tried to argue back, the seventh video played. It was also the last video I had.Before it even started, the Yules were already trembling. My parents shouted, “What on earth is the Wright family playing at? If you don’t want this marriage, just say it! Why are you helping Jacob and spreading these videos to ruin our family’s reputation?”“That ungrateful brat! Once I find him, I won’t let him off!”Agnes glared at Father. “Mr. Yule, are you saying you have no idea that Jacob is already dead?”The entire room erupted in an uproar, including me.How did she know I was dead?Ralph stammered, “That’s impossible! Jacob is living it up overseas right now!”Mother quickly chimed in, “Exactly! How could he be dead? If he’s dead, then who sent all this? Don’t believe these ridiculous rumors! These videos are fake! Believe it or not, that’s up to you!”Father panicked even more. He grabbed Ralph and Mother, trying to leave. “Forget it! If the Wrights won’t bel

After that video ended, someone in the crowd broke down as they cried out, “Is this how the Yule family treated Jacob?”“He called the police and nothing happened, because the Yule family used those videos to threaten him!”“And that so-called socialite from the capital? She’s no better! None of them cared whether Jacob lived or died!”“Call the police now! Whether he’s alive or dead, we have to find him!”Agnes’s hand froze mid-air above the screen. She let out a small laugh, then slowly shook her head. “I’ll go find him, but not now.”Her fingers moved across the screen, pulling up the sixth video.Ralph’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Agnes, that’s enough! Don’t you know what Jacob is trying to do? He’s just trying to ruin our wedding!”“That’s enough?” Agnes cut him off, her voice icy. “Ralph, maybe you should start worrying about your own family first.”Floating in midair, I shook my head violently. “How is this possible? Agnes?”I couldn’t understand her at all. She was th

The fifth video began to play.One early morning, I finally waited for a fishing boat to appear. My voice was already hoarse from crying as I begged the fisherman to take me away. After being trapped on Exile Island for so long, it wasn’t like I hadn’t thought about calling for help, but there was no signal on the island at all. The fisherman was my only chance. However, he couldn’t understand what I was saying. He muttered something in a thick local dialect, then nodded and gestured for me to get on board.Soon, he brought me to a small village, and I immediately called the police.Right then, the video paused, and Mother suddenly shrieked, “Jacob is lying! If he did call the police, why hasn’t anyone ever come to question us?”Ralph chimed in, “Exactly! If Jacob had actually reported it, how could our family be perfectly fine right now?”This time, no one in the audience echoed them. Instead, everyone held their breath and kept their eyes on the screen.Agnes said, “Yeah, if

The fourth video cut straight to my first day on Exile Island. I was on my knees, crying and begging my parents to take me back.“Mother, please! Don’t leave me here! I’ll change! I’ll change anything you want!”However, they showed no mercy whatsoever. Without even looking back, they boarded the

As she spoke, Agnes tapped open the third video on the phone. In the video, I was facing the camera, grinning from ear to ear.“Agnes! I passed the audition! Aren’t I amazing? I’m going to buy you a gift, something that proves I can be rich and successful too! But what should I get you? You have ev

Mother hurriedly tried to explain, “He staged all of this! He’s always been good at playing the victim to gain sympathy. He just wants attention!”Comments from the livestream exploded, and every insult was directed at me.“He's so scheming! He’s got a whole set of lies up his sleeve!”“He looks

When the wedding host held up the gift, a wave of boos rose from the crowd.“Isn’t he overseas? What kind of stunt is he pulling now?”“As if being shameless wasn’t enough, how dare he ruin Mr. Yule’s wedding?”“Exactly! Good thing Ms. Wright didn’t marry him. Otherwise, she would’ve been tricked
