Chapter 1

"Ronan, it's just donating a kidney to your brother. It's not like you're going to die. Why are you making such a fuss?"The one speaking was Ronan Vance's second sister, Bella Vance, her face twisted with impatience."Thomas's condition is deteriorating. If he doesn't get a transplant soon, he won't survive. You've been back in the Vance family all this time, and we've never expected much from you. You're the only one who's a match. What reason do you have to refuse?" his father, Dominic Vance, said in a low, heavy voice."Nooo…" Ronan shook his head desperately, powerless and terrified. The anesthesia finally took hold, robbing him of even the strength to speak as he was pushed toward the operating room.…Inside the operating room, the Vance family's adopted son, Thomas Vance, lay on the other table."Doctor, I want to say a few words to my brother," he said."The chief surgeon hasn't arrived yet. Make it quick," one of the doctors replied.Thomas propped himself up, leaning

"Impossible. Even if you didn't have money, you still stole from the house, didn't you?" Bella recovered quickly, frowning as she spoke.The rest of the Vance family followed her lead. Denise nodded vigorously. "That's right. I bought a brand-new set of makeup, and it went missing. We found it in your drawer. Ronan, you really brought all those filthy orphanage habits back home with you. If you didn't have money, you could've said so, but you chose to steal!""Exactly. My wallet disappeared too. I'm sure you took it," his third sister, Carmen Vance, added."And my limited-edition shoes—the pair that cost thousands. I loved those shoes. The day I wanted to wear them, they were gone. You must have taken them and sold them," Denise said angrily.On the sofa, Thomas's lips twitched with a fleeting, shadowy smile as he watched Ronan, as if enjoying a private show.Ronan let out a short, cold laugh. "Right. Anything that goes missing, you pin on me. If one of you dropped dead someday, I

Dominic snapped, "You've grown bold these past two years. You dare use 'cutting ties' to threaten me? Do you think I'd beg you to stay?"Seeing that Dominic still hadn't picked up the pen, Ronan said calmly, "It wouldn't matter even if you did. Are you still not signing because you can't bear to let me go?"With a cold huff, Dominic finally picked up the pen and scrawled his signature."And this one." Ronan slid the signed document aside and handed another to Linda. "You should sign as well.""Ronan, do you really want to blow this up to such an extent?" Linda glared at him, furious. "We ask you to marry the Reinman family's heiress, and somehow we're the ones in the wrong?""Ronan, don't be impulsive. Mom and Dad are just upset." Thomas grew anxious. If Ronan walked away now, who would take his place and marry that distasteful heiress of the Reinman family?When Ronan still didn't respond, Linda's temper flared. "Thomas, don't bother comforting him!"She reached for the documen

"When he comes back, I'm going to teach him a real lesson!" Linda fumed.Allison slowly shook her head. Even she hadn't expected that Ronan would actually steal something."Mom, don't be angry." Allison tried to comfort her."Mom… did he really cut ties with us for good?" Denise asked."Cut ties? Where would he live? He doesn't have a penny to his name. Who would believe a childish stunt like that?" Linda never took the severance agreement seriously."Well, when he comes back, we can't let him off easy," Carmen added. "I still don't understand how our family ended up with someone like him.""Mom, Dad, Sisters… what about the marriage with the Reinman family?" Thomas asked, hiding his glee behind a worried expression."Don't worry, Thomas. I'll make sure he marries the Reinman heiress." Linda stroked his hair. "My precious boy shouldn't have to settle for anyone right now." "Exactly. You're the future of this family," Bella said. "When it's time, we'll make sure you marry someo

"A beautiful girl?" Ronan's roommate, still engrossed in the game, lit up instantly. "Damn, Ronan, not bad. You've secretly started dating? Be honest—were you out on a date tonight? Wait—hold on. What happened to your head?""I bumped it. I'll go take a look." Ronan already had a good idea who it might be. He stood and stepped outside.At the dorm entrance, boys returning from classes slowed down at the sight of a girl in denim shorts and a pink T-shirt with a cartoon print. She had long hair and a slim figure. One by one, the boys slowed down and stared, guessing who she was waiting for.Ronan walked up to her, his voice cool. "What do you want?"It was Judy Browne, his former high school classmate.Her grades back then had been average—middle of the class at best. They'd been assigned as desk partners, and she often asked him questions, which he patiently explained. Over time, they grew close and eventually started dating.Later, he poured an enormous amount of effort into help

"Fine. Looks like you won't give up till we slap you with the truth. Still want to act tough? Bella, go pull up the surveillance footage," Linda said coldly.Bella immediately headed upstairs. "Ronan, once that footage is right in front of you, I want to see how you explain it."Ronan didn't bother responding. He lifted his suitcase and went upstairs.He didn't have much, so packing took only a short while. Ten minutes later, he was back downstairs.Bella had just come down too and was speaking with the rest of the family."The footage is gone? Isn't our surveillance saved for at least six months?" Dominic frowned."I checked. Some clips are deleted. Someone definitely tampered with it," Bella said."It must've been Ronan. Only he would know exactly when he went to steal the necklace," Denise added. "No wonder he sounded so confident earlier—he knew we wouldn't find anything."Allison stayed silent, her eyes flickering with something unreadable."You've grown bold, haven't you

Chapter 7

After leaving the Vance residence, Ronan boarded a bus back to campus.Today, he'd work into the night, and the software would finally be finished.It was still a simple version—mostly text-based options with minimal functionality—but it was ready to use. The templates were already set up; the only real task was inputting all the dishes and staples, which was no small job.Of course, calling it "software" was a bit generous. At first glance, it looked more like a spreadsheet: each option had plus and minus buttons to select quantities.'Once I post this on the forum, I can start making money,' Ronan thought, watching the city blur past the bus window, a faint smile tugging at his lips.For the first time, he felt completely free of the Vance family. The future stretched out before him, wide and promising.Back at his dorm, he didn't even unpack his suitcase. He dropped onto the chair in front of his computer and started typing furiously.It was past one in the morning before he

Chapter 8

From the dining room came laughter. Ronan's parents and the younger sisters were gathered around, coaxing Thomas to eat more.Suddenly, Allison felt a surge of anger—anger directed at Thomas. She had never felt this way before."Thomas!" Allison strode forward, her brow furrowed, eyes fixed on him.The rest of the Vance family noticed her serious expression. Linda asked, concerned, "Allison, what's wrong?"Thomas's gaze faltered under Allison's unwavering stare. He shifted nervously. "Allison… did I do something wrong?""Sit down first," he added quickly, moving closer to gently take her hand."Yeah, Allison, whatever it is, just tell us. Why are you acting like this?" Linda scolded lightly from the side."I'm asking you—who really took Mom's necklace?" Allison's eyes bore into Thomas.Thomas avoided her gaze, twisting his fingers anxiously. "Allison… what's wrong? Ronan took it. Everyone knows that."Allison's brow furrowed further. "I'll ask you one more time—who took it? I…

"And besides, Thomas isn't short on money. What possible reason would he have to steal my necklace?" Linda said. Allison said, frowning, "I saw him take it with my own eyes. The surveillance footage is still there—why don't you watch it before jumping to conclusions?""There's nothing to conclude," Dominic said coldly. "Thomas already said it—Ronan forced him. That settles it. Ronan won't get to come back until he properly apologizes."Allison's eyes widened in disbelief.Just like that… the matter was glossed over?She had clearly seen the video. Thomas had taken the necklace to Ronan's room, and when he came out, he was grinning with triumph. That wasn't the expression of someone being coerced—it was the look of someone who had succeeded in getting away with something.And yet… a few words from Thomas were enough for their parents to believe him.Allison felt all the words she wanted to say die in her throat. She had even seen other things her younger sisters had lost—things

Watching Ronan carry food for at least four or five people, Allison felt her eyes grow warm.She couldn't believe a member of her family had to rely on this kind of work to make money."Allison, is there something you need?" Ronan frowned as he glanced at Allison gripping his arm. "What's this? Planning to hit me like Dominic?""No…" Allison hurriedly shook her head. "Ronan, come home with me."She tried to pull him along, but he shook her off."I don't have a home. How can I go home with you?" Ronan said flatly. "I have things to do. Please go."Without another word, he ran upstairs.To be honest, even he hadn't expected the software he uploaded last night to already have users by early morning. A few had tried it just out of curiosity. As for Allison… he didn't even give it a second thought.What he was thinking about now was that once things got busy, he couldn't manage alone—he'd need at least two more people to help. He already knew some students from poorer families who
