It was Monica's first time seeing Keith display such intense anger. Although she knew he was not one to be provoked easily, he had never taken such an extreme action, even when he was angry. It seemed he was genuinely frustrated this time.Monica was also not one to be trifled with either. She countered, "Why can't I assert myself? Don't you forget that you've fallen out of favor. What do you think will happen to you if our parents find out how you've treated me today?""Fallen out of favor?" Keith scoffed, tilting his head. Had he really fallen out of favor? Was he no longer loved by their parents? Was he looked down upon by the Ritter family? Perhaps it was because of this perception that Monica felt emboldened, thinking she was better. So, she thought she could belittle Keith, the heir apparent."Monica, it seems you fail to grasp the situation. This family is in my hands. When the older generation passes, I will assume leadership. I am the heir!" His voice resounded with c

Looking back on the past was like rewinding an old film reel. Memories of past events vividly played out before his eyes.Keith recalled that unfortunate day again. It was the last time he ever saw that man.15 years ago, in the shade of the trees in the Ritter residence yard, young Keith had returned home from his tutoring class. Upon entering the house, he had seen Troy playing on a skateboard.Troy had been 13 years old at the time. He had been known as the future heir of the Ritter family. He had been gentle, well-behaved, and exceptionally talented.York had already made it clear that the future of the Ritter family business would be passed down to either Keith or Troy. Although Keith had also been an outstanding child, he fell slightly short compared to Troy.With an indifferent expression, Keith had glanced at Troy, who had been playing on the skateboard. He had then retreated into the house without saying anything. He had still had to revise the contents that were taught

Therefore, Troy had been known as the smartest person of his generation. He had been even more dazzling than James, the eldest son of the Quigley family.However, Keith had been deeply jealous of Troy. He had known that as long as Troy was around, he would never be able to become the heir.Keith had also known why Troy asked their parents to give him a break. He had surely been hoping to use the excuse of taking a break to disrupt Keith's studies."Troy Ritter, you're really cunning. You are already better than me, yet, you still want to hinder my studies. Do you really hope to step on me to become the heir?" Keith's expression had been clearly ferocious as he had taken small steps forward, glaring at Troy."Keith, you've misunderstood. I saw that you've been tired lately, so I hope you can take a break," Troy had said."Why do you care? You think I'm tired? I'm tired because of you!" Keith had retorted.Troy had become even more confused as he listened to Keith. He hadn't been

York had asked because of the scar left by that car accident when Keith had pushed Troy that year. The scar left on his heart occasionally reminded him of the accident.Keith didn't deny the truth. He lowered his head and muttered, "It’s true that I caused Troy's death. In your eyes, I have never treated any of you as my family." He paused. His gaze sharpened as he turned to Monica and continued, "Dad, as you said, I can treat my own family as nothing, let alone this woman who's not even the slightest blood-related to me! "If it hadn't been for her, my plan to buy Quigley family's shares wouldn't have fallen through—"Keith was suddenly slapped midway through his words. The handprint was left on Keith's handsome face. It was a slap from York.Keith couldn't believe that York had actually slapped him. He stared incredulously. This was the second time York had hit him.The first time was when Troy died. The second time was because of Monica, who wasn't blood-related to them.K

Half a month? Summer felt as though she had fallen into hell when she heard her punishment. Caroline was too cruel. How could she punish her for half a month? Summer felt that Caroline clearly wanted her to die from the chores.The Quigley residence did not just have a small independent toilet. It had more than ten, and all of them were very big and very hard to clean.Summer wanted to refuse. But just as she attempted to speak, Caroline glared at her sternly. It was like if Summer dared to disagree, she would drown her in a torrent of words. In the end, Summer had no choice but to accept her punishment."Mom, I will clean the toilets tomorrow. I need to rest now," Summer said. She had accepted her punishment, and now she just wanted to seize the opportunity to return to her room.She and Lexi had gone out shopping the entire day. Summer was already exhausted. Plus, it was time to sleep. She had no energy left to argue with Caroline further.However, Caroline snorted coldly
