Chapter 1

"Adam Richmond has already enrolled."Hearing this, my head went blank, and I blurted out instinctively, "That's impossible!"I took a moment to compose myself and held out my acceptance letter. "This is my enrollment notice."The person glanced at it and scoffed. "That letter was sent six months ago. If it were really yours, why would you only show up now?"A surge of anger churned in my chest as I gripped the acceptance letter tightly.Looking back, right after my mom passed away, my dad, Arnold Richmond, had been pushing me to enroll at the Elysian Academy of Fine Arts in Valoria and to marry a fiancée I had never met.Of course, I resisted. I had argued with Dad every step of the way, but in the end, his bodyguards forced me onto the plane.Still, I refused to compromise. Once I landed, I didn't step foot in the school at all. Instead, I spent half a year traveling the world.Who would have thought that Dad would call so suddenly yesterday? His tone was icy as he said he wa

The fake Adam lifted his brow and attempted a gentlemanly smile. "Since we share the same name, I don't mind helping you out if you're really that broke, but you shouldn't lie."My fists tightened. I took a few deep breaths, forcing down the anger boiling in my chest before turning to Erica. "Are you sure he's Adam?"Erica huffed impatiently. "Of course. Now get lost. I've never seen anyone so shameless."With that, she slammed the door shut.I stared coldly at the door, pulled out my phone, and opened a forum I often visited.I found an old thread of mine that had once gone viral and left a simple message."I'm back."The moment it was posted, replies flooded in like a tidal wave."Finally! Where have you been for the past half year? You promised to come and challenge us in painting!""Seriously! We've waited for years to see you in person. We have to meet you!"I smirked and typed out my address."I'll be home tomorrow. Bring your materials."I let out a cold laugh, curio

The moment I finished speaking, the fake Adam's expression changed instantly. Cold sweat formed on his forehead.He let out a few nervous laughs and forced out, "Alright, I'll go pour some water for everyone."He turned and walked toward the kitchen.I wanted to stop him, but the people around me smiled and nodded. "Sure, thank you!"I let out a cold snort, thinking to myself, "Not so fast. You're not going anywhere that easily."Before long, a crashing sound came from the kitchen, as if glass had shattered, followed by a startled cry from the fake Adam.He emerged, clutching his finger, wearing an apologetic expression. "Sorry. I don't think I can paint today."I didn't wait for him to recover. I stepped forward and grabbed his hand. Blood seeped from a cut that ran along his finger.I raised an eyebrow. "How convenient. You injured your finger at exactly this time. Don't tell me this is just an excuse to avoid everyone."The crowd exchanged confused glances. Someone mutter

Suddenly, Erica reached out and yanked my hat off. "I knew it was you! You caused trouble here yesterday, and now you're back? Are you deliberately looking for a fight?"Her eyes blazed with anger as she swung her hand at me.I tensed and instinctively raised my own hand to block her slap.I knew I couldn't back down. "I'm the real Adam Richmond. If you don't believe me, call my dad and ask him yourself," I said coldly.Erica didn't hesitate. "Go ahead, then. Call him."I clenched my teeth and grabbed my phone to call Dad, but the call wouldn't go through. The screen reading "Dialing…" made my heart pound with panic.Seeing this, Erica sneered. "Can't get through? Mr. Richmond, looks like your little act is falling apart."I took a deep breath, refusing to give up. "You can call your dad too. He knows the truth," I said.Erica's expression wavered for a moment before it hardened, and she let out a cold, mocking laugh. "Still spinning stories? Adam has always been by my side. Th

A tall, imposing man stood at the doorway. Clad in a dark suit and wearing a stern expression, he exuded authority that brooked no challenge.His eyes swept coldly across the room and settled on Erica and the fake Adam. "Let go," he commanded.Erica froze and instinctively loosened her grip. She looked up at him skeptically. "Who are you? How dare you tell me what to do?"His expression briefly darkened, and after a pause, he coldly said, "I am Arnold Richmond."Erica blinked in shock. Then, recognition and nervousness flooded her features. "You're Adam's father, Mr. Arnold Richmond?"She forced a smile and hurried to explain herself. "Mr. Arnold, you couldn't have arrived at a better time. Someone has been impersonating Adam and even attempted to get into the house. I caught him for you. There he is!"With a self-satisfied smile, she pushed me in front of Dad, as if taking full credit for catching me.As Dad's eyes swept over me, a storm of anger and disappointment simmered beh

Chapter 6

Erica looked around, trying to find some explanation on the fake Adam's face. But seeing his nervousness and the way he recoiled, her expression twisted into a mix of confusion and anger.The people around us began murmuring. Some covered their mouths in shock, while others looked at me with sympathy, finally beginning to understand the truth behind this farce.The fake Adam had completely lost the composure and confidence he had shown before. Panic was written all over his face. His eyes darted restlessly as he pleaded, "Mr. Arnold, please, let me explain. I did not mean to. I just—"Dad turned his head toward me, and for a moment there was a hint of pity in his eyes. "Well? Are you waiting for me to call you?" he said coldly.I froze for a second before stepping forward. "Dad," I muttered.As the word left my mouth, all the anger and humiliation I had been holding back rushed up at once, stinging my chest. My body trembled uncontrollably. Tears burned my eyes as I pointed at t

Chapter 7

When Liam turned ten years old, his parents divorced, and his father insisted on taking him away.From that day, our contact gradually dwindled. Later, I only heard that his father's gambling had left him in ruin. Mom had worried about his future for a long time and had sent him money a few times, but there was little more she could do to help.And now, our reunion came under such circumstances.We were on our way to the police station when Erica stood nearby, forcing a laugh as she tried to excuse herself. "Mr. Arnold, I think I'll step back from this family matter. I trust you'll handle it."Dad cast her a cold, firm glance. "We are all going together, Ms. Wright. After all, you are involved in this as well."Erica's smile froze, and she had no choice but to follow, looking nervous and unsettled.At the police station, Liam finally began to explain the whole scheme of impersonating me.He kept his head down, completely stripped of his earlier facade and composure. His voice tr

Liam's expression shifted from pleading to outright anger. His voice trembled with suppressed resentment. "Why? Why is it so easy for you to get everything, and I can't? It's all things you don't want, so why can't I have them? I only—""You're nothing but a thief and a fraud," I said, my eyes cold. "You've taken what was never yours, and you still think you have the right to claim it?"His face twisted with rage, and his composure started to unravel. His voice trembled with desperation. "It's not fair! You've had everything handed to you since you were a child, living in luxury without a care, but what about me? Why can't I have the same?"Dad watched his outburst with a cold, unyielding gaze and said, "You have no right to speak of such things. Nothing you took belongs to you, and you have no right to demand forgiveness from anyone."He then turned to the police, ignoring Liam's complaints entirely.Liam's face went pale as panic washed over him.He turned to Erica, as if rea

She pulled her ID from her pocket and held it out to us."I never claimed to be the Ms. Wright your family arranged for," she said.Liam froze as disbelief and fury were etched across his face. "What do you mean? You've been lying to me?"Erica refused to back down. She let out a cold laugh. "Lying to you? I haven't even finished settling accounts with you. At least my name is real. You? Everything about you is fake, and you've got the nerve to call me out?"In an instant, their conversation exploded into a bitter argument, with every shred of pretense and trust between them crumbling as they tore into each other's secrets.From the sidelines, Dad's gaze pierced with cold disdain. For the first time, the truth became clear to me.This "Erica" was nothing more than a fringe player in the study-abroad scene, living off the wealth and influence of others. She had mastered the art of fabricating a background, gaining trust through appearances alone. When Liam arrived in Marindor an

Chapter 10

When Erica finished serving her short sentence, she emerged looking haggard, stripped of the confidence she once carried.One day, just after leaving the police station, she spotted Liam on the street, looking just as battered and worn. The moment their eyes met, fury flared between them. Erica's face contorted with rage as she marched forward. "This is all your fault! I lost money, and I ended up in jail because of you! Liam, give me back the past six months of my life!"Liam sneered and retorted, "Don't act like the victim here. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess. Have some shame!"Erica was completely enraged by his words. Her eyes darkened, and her chest heaved with fury. In a blind surge of anger, she rushed back to her car, slammed on the accelerator, and drove straight at Liam. He was thrown to the ground, lying in a pool of blood, while Erica's car careened out of control into the roadside barrier. She was immediately arrested by the police on the spot.L
