Chapter 1

“Lance, are you serious?”On the other end of the line, Serena Gray’s voice carried both excitement and disbelief. “Last year, I offered a million dollars to poach you, and you said you’d finally found your family and couldn’t bear to leave them. What did the Lewis family do to push you this far?”I did not feel like explaining. “If you don’t think you can take the Lewis family down within a year, I’ll go somewhere else. No point wasting each other’s time.”“No, no, if you join us, I can definitely make it happen!” Serena quickly replied. There was a hint of eager amusement in her laughter, like she was enjoying the spectacle.“The Lewis family doesn’t still think you’re just some ordinary salesperson, do they? If they do, they deserve to go under. They’re unbelievably stupid!”After hanging up, I sent my resignation email to HR and started packing up my desk.Before long, Clive, dressed in a flashy designer suit, strode over, flanked by a few junior managers. “Lance, I know you

“No matter the past or the future, Clive is my brother. That’s not going to change!” Joanna was so furious that her usual icy composure completely fell apart, and her face flushed red.“If you still want to stay in the Lewis family, apologize to Clive now!”My cheek burned, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my chest. "Apologize to him? Not a chance! Joanna, even setting personal feelings aside, are you being fair as a leader?“For the past two years, I haven’t slept more than four hours a day just to close deals. I’ve been running between clients and production lines nonstop. The second an overseas client wasn’t satisfied, I’d get up in the middle of the night to revise proposals. Almost every month, I drank so much at business dinners that I ended up with stomach bleeding. I’ve had three critical condition notices issued.“And by the end of the year, I brought in 30 million in sales, yet my bonus was only 250 dollars. Meanwhile, Clive sits in his office all day, enjoying

Before I could even say a word in my defense, I was pinned to the ground by four or five burly security guards. The box I had just packed up was overturned, and all my belongings spilled across the floor.After carefully searching everything, the guards found nothing unusual and shook their heads at Joanna.Joanna’s expression eased slightly, but before she could speak, Clive let out a soft sigh. “Looks like Lance is pretty professional about this. He knew something like that shouldn’t be hidden anywhere else. It’s safest on his person. But there are so many people here. I can’t bear to have them search you.“Joanna, maybe we should just let it go? Even though that watch is my favorite, I’ll just go home and cry for a couple of days. It’s not worth humiliating Lance over this…”As soon as he said that, the last trace of hesitation in Joanna’s eyes disappeared. “The Lewis family has strict morals. We have zero tolerance for thieves! Don’t hold back. Keep searching. Strip him!”Righ

My father stood there in a perfectly tailored suit. His graying hair combed neatly back, with my mother, dripping in jewelry, right behind him.When they saw it was me on the ground, their faces showed nothing but shock and disgust. There was not even a trace of concern. After hearing the employees eagerly list off my so-called crimes, the disgust on their faces deepened, along with undisguised contempt.“Hmph. Figures. Grow up poor long enough, and all you care about is money.” My father shot me a harsh glare and waved a hand at Joanna. “Forget it. It’s just a watch. I’ll get Clive ten better ones later. Get him up!”Joanna hesitated for a moment. “No! Lance stole the watch I gave Clive. I’m going to find it in front of everyone and clear his name!”She signaled the guards to continue. The guards had no choice but to obey when my parents did not object. After checking me again and again, they still found nothing and shook their heads.“Mr. Lewis, Ms. Lewis, we’ve searched him tho

I lay sprawled on the cold tile floor. My consciousness was already fading. Someone rushed over, crouched down, and carefully helped me up.“Lance, it’s me! It’s Shaun!”I forced my eyes open. Through my blurred vision, I saw his face. Even though he was dressed in an expensive custom suit, looking every bit elite, I could still recognize traces of the timid little boy from the orphanage who used to cling to me.“Shaun, it’s really you…”The janitor’s room door was pushed open again. My parents, Joanna, and Clive hurried in. They did not spare me a glance. Instead, they looked nervously at Shaun Collins.“Dr. Collins, we were in the middle of discussing the partnership. Why did you suddenly leave? This guy just has some issues with the company. We were questioning him. Don't let it spoil your mood…”Shaun ignored them completely. His eyes reddened as he looked at my injuries, carefully untying the ropes around me. “I knew it was you. Lance, I’d recognize your voice anywhere!”Se

As soon as I walked out of the company’s building, I saw a black Maybach parked not far away. The window rolled down, revealing a strikingly beautiful face—it was Serena.The moment she saw us, she got out of the car and quickly walked over. “Mr. Lance, you’re finally out. I was worried you might change your mind, so I came to pick you up.”When she noticed my injuries and the blood at the corner of my mouth, her expression instantly darkened. “Wait, did the Lewis family actually lay hands on you just because you resigned?”Before I could answer, she had already turned and opened the trunk, pulling out a small first-aid kit. “I always keep this on hand. Let’s treat your wounds first. We don’t want them getting infected.”As she spoke, she guided me to the car and had me sit down, carefully cleaning the wounds on my face. “They went way too far. I’ll have my top legal team get justice for you.”Shaun stood nearby, quietly watching her tend to my injuries without saying a word.Onl

Not long after I left, Lewis Corporation was thrown into complete chaos. First, Shaun publicly announced an exclusive patent partnership with Gray Corporation. The news sent shockwaves through the entire industry.Investors who had been sitting on the sidelines immediately changed course, pulling their funds from the company and redirecting them to Gray Corporation instead.Lewis Corporation’s stock hit a limit down three days in a row, and its market value evaporated by hundreds of billions.After joining Gray Corporation, I immediately reached out to the overseas clients and domestic partners I had previously managed. Most of these clients had been personally developed by me, and they trusted me deeply.When they learned I had left Lewis Corporation and joined Gray Corporation, almost none of them hesitated. They all chose to terminate their contracts with Lewis Corporation and sign with Gray Corporation instead.One cancellation call after another flooded into Lewis Corporation

Chapter 8

In the CEO’s office of Lewis Corporation, my father lost his temper at Clive for the first time. “Clive! Look at what you’ve done! In just one week, we’ve lost 70% of our clients, and the stock price has completely crashed. What exactly are you good for?!”Clive slumped into the couch, the smell of alcohol still clinging to him. His voice was full of defiance. “Dad, how is this my fault? Those clients were all there because of Lance. He jumped to Gray Corporation. Of course, they’d follow him. Besides, if you hadn’t forced him out back then, would he even be coming after us now?”“You’ve got some nerve talking back!” Joanna sat off to the side, rubbing her aching temples. Her voice sounded tired. “Dad, Mom, there’s no point arguing about this anymore.“Clive, stay out of company business from now on. You don’t understand how to deal with clients. If this keeps up, the company will collapse even faster.”“I don’t understand? And you do?” Clive snapped as irritation flashed across

Chapter 9

My parents were like a cat on a hot tin roof, pacing frantically around the office.“What do we do? The internet is full of people tearing us apart, and the banks are demanding repayment. If this keeps up, the company is finished! Raymond, let’s go beg Lance. He’s our biological son. As long as he’s willing to come back, the company can still be saved!”My father hesitated for a long time before letting out a heavy sigh. “It’s our only option. Joanna, come with us. You’re his sister. Talk to him. Ask him, for the sake of blood, to spare the Lewis family.”…Downstairs at Gray Corporation’s office, my parents and Joanna stood under the blazing sun. Anxiety was written all over their faces. The moment they saw me walk out of the elevator, they rushed over.“Lance, I know I was wrong! It’s my fault for how I treated you. Please forgive us just this once. Please save the Lewis family!”I gave her an indifferent look and said with a calm tone, “Mrs. Lewis, I don’t think we have anythi

Chapter 10

Joanna immediately called Clive. “Clive, did you take the family emergency funds? Mom and Dad are in the hospital and need urgent treatment. Transfer the money back right now!”On the other end of the line came Clive’s contemptuous laugh, mixed with the sound of a woman giggling in the background. “So what if those old fossils are in the hospital? What does that have to do with me? Joanna, are you stupid? I have no blood relation to them. Why should I care if they live or die?!“I’ve been the Lewis family’s son for over twenty years. I’m just taking a little compensation for myself. Don’t you think I’ve earned it?”“Clive! How can you be so selfish? That’s the money Mom and Dad worked so hard for!" Joanna cried out into the phone.“Is that so? Even better for me then! I’m their favorite son anyway. They’d be happy if I spent it. Enough, I’m busy. Stop calling me.”Then, the call ended.Joanna collapsed into a chair in the hospital corridor. Passersby glanced at her strangely, bu
