"Are you for real, Dr. Lowe?" The person on the other end of the call was so excited that they almost sounded incoherent.I furrowed my brows."What? Don't you want it? I can be joking as well.""No. No. I'm the one joking. I'll take a flight and come and get you right away. Besides, we will arrange a private mansion on Bailey Island, so that you can have a proper holiday and some rest."They continued, "This technology of yours alone could generate hundreds of millions in direct profit, not to mention the value of patent transfers. We're talking about a deal worth over a billion. Are you really not planning to cooperate with Kensington Corp anymore?"I replied impatiently, "Yes. No more cooperation."Then, I hung up.Looking at the large discount coupon pushed to my screen by some unknown cafe, I suddenly chuckled.This thing was not even as good as a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal.It was probably some grand opening coupon picked up from a random college student on the way to

I walked out of Kensington Corp feeling completely at ease. Looking at the sunlight, I felt completely relaxed.Finally, I did not have to stay in that trashy company anymore, enduring constant humiliation from those jerks.Over the past two months, they mocked me endlessly. They injected unknown substances into my drinks and fed me expired snacks of questionable origins.Besides that, I was the only one who had to clean up after Sean's mess. I had enough of it.I merely suggested upgrading the equipment and refusing their processed snacks, and they called me pretentious.Back when I lived with my adoptive father, William, the servants would have treated my words as orders.My adoptive father was the world's largest arms tycoon and a top-tier weapons designer. The inheritance and research institute he left me behind could buy out thousands of Kensington Corps.If the Kensington family did not find me right when I was just emerging from the grief of my adoptive father's death, th

I did not know how Sean or Sonya reacted, but I knew my parents, Robert and Agatha, were furious.In less than a minute after the message was sent, my parents kicked my door open.Without asking a single question, they started berating me, "We took so much effort to take you home from the mountains, not so you can laze around all day and bully your brother!""Sonya's your older sister. Sean's our son, too. How dare you talk to them like this! As expected of a country bumpkin! You clearly have no upbringing at all!""Your adoptive father was probably just like you! Some backcountry nobody! Serves him right to die in the mountains!"I was not angry at first, but they brought up my adoptive father.According to him, I was dumped into a trash bin when I was three months old. When he found me, I did not cry or yell. I just kept looking at him. He initially wanted to leave me, but he returned and took me along with him.He said that perhaps this was fated.Although he was wealthy, he

Hearing such words from Sean, the entire family instantly panicked.Sonya, who was next to him, looked worried as well. They immediately went up to him to take turns consoling him.They promised him money in the future, as well as teaching me another lesson.I was the only one, still kneeling on the floor, looking at everything happening in front of me.For the first time, my eyes grew misty, not from the pain, but from the grievance.If my adoptive father were still alive, how would they dare treat me like this? And how would I have ever ended up here?The pain from my broken ribs became more and more intense. It felt as if bone fragments were tearing through muscle, blood surging chaotically inside my body.Struggling, I pulled out my phone and tried to message someone I know for help.But I only began to type my message when someone kicked the phone in my hand away.Sonya stood in front of me in fury, her fists clenched tightly."Wesley, you have crossed the line! Since yo

Several figures rushed out from the light at the end of the corridor, charging straight at the guard."What's going on?" The guard reacted instantly. His hand moved fast, plunging the syringe into my body and pushing the contents in before turning to flee.Through the blinding light, I saw a figure step forward.Albert Henri, the boss of Jet Group, Kensington Corp's biggest rival. The very person I tried to message for help.I still had something he absolutely needed. Saving me would bring him far greater returns."Dr. Lowe, I'm here!"I heard a body falling to the ground with a loud thud behind me, as well as Albert's voice fading away. I understood that I was finally safe.I closed my eyes and passed out.At the same time, Sonya and Sean were at the celebration party, celebrating their own success."Come on, everyone! Let's raise a glass to our biggest contributor, Sean Kensington!" Sonya raised her wine glass to honor Sean.Sean replied to her with an equally wide smile,

The next day, everyone in the Kensington family started looking for me.Because the contract terminations were due to technical issues, the other parties didn't have to pay any penalties. But without that incoming cash flow, the factories could no longer be paid.If those orders continued, the Kensington family might have survived, barely keeping both the factories and the company running.But now, with all those orders gone, their already fragile cash flow collapsed instantly.Worse still, every single one of those orders went straight to their rival company.Sean charged into the underground cellar only to see the guard he paid for lying on the floor, dead.He stood there for a long time, stunned. As for Sonya, she was the technical backbone of the weapons lab before I arrived. She went through all the research drafts and experimental records I left behind.Together with the entire technical team, they studied my notes for three days and three nights straight.Still, they c

Just as I was smiling, imagining the life I would have the next day, I noticed Sonya standing by the door.Tears were brimming in her eyes. She went up to me directly and held my hand, saying anxiously, "Wesley, I finally found you!"Seeing her anxious face, I shrugged her hand off and frowned at her."What do you want? What good news could you possibly bring?"I long knew what she wanted. She just wanted me to go back and slave away for the family. I shrug her off without even looking at her."Why are you here? I've quit Kensington Corp. We no longer have anything to do with each other.""I'm your older sister. I spent a huge effort to find you. Come back home with me."She looked half-drunk, crouching at my doorway, staring at me pitifully. If she looked at me like this before, I would have softened.After all, she was my sister.If I had the ability, I would have agreed to anything she asked.But looking at her at that moment, I just found it laughable.I asked her with a

A few years later, I found myself a gentle and pretty fiancée. For the first time, I finally set aside my research and allowed myself to truly live.One day, I stepped out to deliver wedding invitations to my neighbors.Suddenly, I noticed someone lurking in a cold, shadowy alley nearby. Their gaze flickered, hesitant and uncertain.Curious, I walked closer.What I found was a beggar, disheveled, kneeling on the ground, her legs clearly broken, her face smeared with dirt.But I recognized her instantly.Sonya.I froze for a moment. Then I calmly retrieved a wedding invitation from my bag and placed it into her hands.I did not know what she went through. But at that moment, I already let the past go."I'm getting married. You're welcome to come anytime."Then, I left.I had a wedding photoshoot scheduled that day. If I delayed any longer, I was going to be late.Behind me, Sonya stood there, completely out of place, staring blankly at the invitation in her hands.On the da
