My insolent retaliation had drawn everyone's attention.Still, Ellie immediately rushed to Harold's side, while Jennie promptly slapped me twice.They were my sisters, but seeing me launch their beloved gigolo with a kick broke their heart, and were at once glaring at me furiously."James Langford! How dare you hurt our baby brother!"Despite their threats, all I felt was regret—how stupid could I be that I used to fantasize them seeing me as family?I pointed at Harold as they clung to him, dissing out loud, "He's just a gigolo, while I am the heir to Skymex Group and the biological grandson of Miles Langford. And you're trying to claim that I have no right?"At once embarrassed and furious, Ellie leapt up and shoved me to the floor, bellowing, "Watch your mouth! Harold's the one who's been kind enough to sponsor your education! Everyone here, listen up! Harold is the real grandson of Miles Langford, and the only heir of Skymex Group!"My eyes widened in disbelief as I looked a

Ellie and Jennie were both glaring at me with ashen faces. Ellie snapped, "Let me give it to you straight, James Langford—you're the one who should leave! We both have executive powers in this building, while you're just a student!""What's going on here?!"That was when a fair and graceful middle-aged woman squeezed her way through the crowd, looking at us and demanding, "Why are you all just standing around and not taking your seats?!"She was Quincy Waltz—CEO of Skymex Group, and my biological mother.And yet, she was hurrying to Harold's side, wiping his tears as she sighed, "Oh, Harold—don't cry. Just tell me, who did this to you? I'll punish them this instant!"Ellie was at once pointing at me, snapping angrily, "James Langford! Who else would have the audacity to bully Harold while I watched?!"My mother slapped me across the face right then! "You've really gotten full of yourself!" She hollered. "Bullying Harold just because we've been good to you?! Kneel and apologize

After the gala ended, Grandpa didn't return to his manor, instead coming with me to my villa, as I called up over twenty movers, telling them to remove all of Harold's belongings.However, the butler Ernest kept obstructing me. "Please, sir—I don't know what Harold did to offend you, but why would you chase him out?"I rolled my eyes at him. "This is the villa my father left for me. Why should I let some nobody stay here?"Even so, Ernest kept clinging to Harold's room door defiantly, crying out to Jennie, "Please, Mr. Langford! If you insist on this, I will have to call your mother and tell her to punish you!"Hearing that, I turned to my grandfather's bodyguards, who promptly tied him up. "Actually, Harold's not the only one who's leaving," I snorted. "You're leaving too, Ernest! Some ingrate who works together with an outsider to bully his master has no right to stay!"Ernest howled on top of his lungs right then, "How dare you! Where's your conscience?! I served this house w

Before I could actually speak, however, Ellie leapt to my mother's defense. "See, Miles?! It's all your son's fault for spoiling James so much that he can't even humble himself for a second!"If only he got rid of that chip on his shoulder and was as gentle as Harold, there's no reason we wouldn't have doted on him."After Ellie was done, Jennie quickly added, "Please, James—can't you see? Your mother's just trying to temper your personality, so that you can become a fitting heir to Skymex Group. You have to understand where we're coming from…"I simply laughed coolly at their brazen behavior. "So you're saying my father is to blame for not raising me right? For everything that's happening now?"How despicable. My father took you in out of kindness, grooming you to be executives, only for you to slander him in death and torment his only son."Seeing that my grandfather still wasn't humoring them while I remained impervious to their brainwashing, they finally bared their fangs, wit
