Amelie Blanchard, my mother, glanced at the documents containing the details of the pasta shop and gently said to Richard, "Honey, I've already found a job for you as a hotel inspector. You'll be paid $4,000 a month! Why don't you leave this shop to—"Richard snatched up the document, cutting her off, "No! I'm going to inherit the shop!"Everyone present was stunned by his declaration.Perhaps he realized that he was behaving strangely as he quickly tried to smooth things over by wrapping his arms around Amelie's shoulders. "Mom, I'll be able to stay by your side if I take over the shop. Don't you want that?"Her eyes welled up with tears as she patted his back in pride before glaring at me. "Hank, you'd best cherish this office job. Don't you dare embarrass the Lane family. You'd better be grateful to Richard for the rest of your life! You wouldn't be so lucky if it weren't for him."Amelie did not want to let such a great job opportunity go to anyone else, so she reluctantly gav

Richard watched Jenna's car leave before turning to look at me with fire blazing in his eyes.I could tell that he never expected me to survive the fire. He certainly didn't expect me to be so lucky to cross paths with a legend of the business world. If looks could kill, I'd definitely be dead once more.I stared right back at him. Richard had always lived the life of a pampered brat. So, there were now dark bruises under his eyes despite it having only been a few days since we last saw each other. It seemed he was exhausted from running a pasta shop."Why did you come here all of a sudden? Did you have something to say to me?"His eyes were turning bloodshot from fury. He was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.When he glanced at it, he found it to be a call from the pasta shop's staff.Apparently, a drunk customer had started a brawl in the shop, and he was urgently needed to sort things out."You're all so useless! Why do you even need me to handle something

I was invited to the company's annual gala due to my contributions. Jenna patted me on the shoulder with clear admiration in her voice. "You've done well with the RuTech project, Hank. I was worried you wouldn't be able to keep up with the team. I didn't expect you to do so well!"I smiled and clinked my glass against hers. "You flatter me. I'll forever be grateful for your help. I have no idea whether I'd be this successful if it weren't for your help."Jenna smiled in satisfaction before veering off to discuss the next year's business trip with the other executives.The server by the hall's entrance approached me right after she left me to my own devices. "Excuse me, there's a man at the door who wishes to see you. He's been waiting for a while."I was confused as I wasn't expecting anyone. Still, I put my glass down and followed the server out of the hall.I pushed open the doors to find Richard standing right outside.I scanned him up and down with disbelief. His eyes were

Theo was on the phone, speaking in a voice filled with concern. "Don't worry, son. Just rest and recover overseas. I've already spread the news about Hank kidnapping you. Your mom and I have everything ready. We'll feed it to him once he wakes up."The fear that I'd been reining in crashed into me like a tsunami. I knew the bottle of pesticide before me better than anything else.They were going to feed me the same thing that had killed me in my last life.My feet accidentally thudded against a nearby stick in my fright.Amelie turned to look. When she found me awake, her lips stretched into a nasty smile as she approached me with a cup of water in hand."You're awake so soon, my son. Good. It's almost time. Drink up."She tore away the tape covering my mouth and gripped my jaw. I struggled against her grip, causing the cup to fall to the ground."Why? Why are you doing this to me?"She became enraged at my unwillingness to cooperate. So, she grabbed the stick and swung it agai

The Wayne family didn't keep us waiting for long as the car meant for Richard arrived 30 minutes later.Richard immediately let out a shrill shriek when he spotted familiar faces.However, they quickly silenced him by clamping a wad of cloth over his mouth before tossing him into the back seat.The door slammed shut with a loud bang, and Richard's screams faded into the distance.I didn't even bother sparing them another glance as I left the church in another car.I later uploaded a surveillance camera recording online, showcasing just how Amelie and Theo had abandoned me back then.The matron of the orphanage also defended me in public, saying, "We found Hank 20 years ago. He has always been a hard worker and the Lane family only sought him out after his college entrance exam results were announced. "After that, Mr. and Mrs. Lane even threatened me to keep my mouth shut about their crimes. They said they would report me for child abuse if I breathed a word about it. I've alway
