The couple who had been standing at the side, calmly watching the so-called brotherly reunion, suddenly dropped their elegant composure and rushed over in a panic.My biological mother, Catherine Lynch, reached out with trembling fingers to check if I was breathing. She took a long moment before finally letting out a shaky sigh of relief."He's still breathing. Call an ambulance now!"The second I heard that, I snapped my eyes open and grabbed her wrist. "No need. It's just low blood sugar. I'll be fine."It was my first day back in this house. The last thing I wanted was for people to think I was troublesome or high-maintenance. More than anything, I wanted them to like me.The servants stared at me, my face covered in blood, clearly terrified. Their eyes darted nervously toward my mother for instructions.My mother stood up and motioned for the butler and the servants to leave, then turned to Anthony Snyder, her tone gentle but measured as she said, "Liam has only just come bac

Even if I tried to explain, she would not have believed me. She probably would have hated me even more, so in the end, I gave up and decided to just wash them.I turned on the faucet, my face tight with suppressed grievance."Ah!"Anthony suddenly let out a sharp scream, clutching his eyes.Seeing his face go pale, I dropped the clothes and rushed forward, wanting to check on him.However, Yessenia immediately stepped in front of him, glaring at me with full suspicion."Stay away from him!"I blinked, frozen in place, too scared to move.Our parents rushed over at the noise. When they saw the red rash spreading all over my body, they were visibly stunned.The air turned heavy in an instant. I was just about to explain when Anthony spoke first, his voice full of open contempt."Liam, this kind of thing… Don't you think you should explain it?" He paused on purpose, his eyes slowly scanning my miserable state, the corner of his lips lifting slightly."You're not even that old,

The guests who had been chatting in the main hall were all gathered in the garden.The abandoned wooden shed had been completely swallowed by flames, reduced to nothing but charred debris.My father held onto my mother, who was crying uncontrollably. His hand gripped the priceless diamond cufflink tightly as his voice trembled."Liam may have…"He could not finish the sentence.At that moment, Anthony came stumbling over and threw himself into our mother's arms, wailing."How did this happen? I'm too late!"His hands shook as he pulled out his phone. "Mom, Dad, this is the apology video Liam just sent me. He said it was all his fault…"My whole body ached as I forced myself to crawl out from the woods.When people saw me, it was like they had seen a ghost come back to life. Some screamed. Others ran.However, I did not care about their terrified reactions. I dragged myself straight toward Anthony.My fingernails had torn, blood seeping out as I grabbed his ankle, my voice br

Thud.Anthony staggered backward, nearly falling over. He clutched the corner of his bleeding mouth, staring at me in disbelief.I slowly lowered my fist. Every joint ached, my fingernails digging hard into my palm as I used the pain to keep myself steady.After everything he had just said, I forced myself to stay calm and said, "Anthony, listen to me. I never wanted to take your place or steal the love meant for you. I only played small and bowed to your every whim because I thought that was the only way everyone could be happy."But I understand now. Trying to please people is the most useless thing in the world. The pity I beg for by putting myself down only makes people like you push further and go even worse."I also need to say this. You framed me for stealing money, spread rumors that I was sick, cut my swim trunks to humiliate me, and even caused me to fall into the pool and nearly drown."In the end, my voice broke, and I could not hold it together anymore.
