Chapter 1

Samuel Stone, my brother, glared at the waiter in front of him and snapped, "Are you blind? You just ruined my entire birthday celebration!"The waiter froze, then quickly lowered his head and apologized. "I'm so sorry, sir. It was my mistake. I can pay for the cleaning, if that's okay?"Samuel shoved him, his voice rough and aggressive. "Are you kidding me? These are a global limited-edition pair with a superstar's autograph. A drop of water on them and they're done for!"He lifted his chin, full of swagger. "Where's your manager? Get him out here, now!"My mother stepped up and patted his shoulder, soothing him. "Don't get so worked up, sweetheart. It's bad for your health."She then turned to the waiter and shot him a vicious look, her voice as sharp as a whip. "How dare you upset Sam like that! Just wait—you're getting fired!"My father frowned, his face icy as he stared the waiter down.In my last life, this was the exact moment I'd stepped in and talked them down, doing ev

When the manager hurried over, Samuel jabbed a finger at the waiter, puffed up with arrogance. He barked, "Your waiter ruined my new shoes. I want an explanation, and I want it right now!"My mother folded her arms across her chest and snorted coldly. "My precious son was having such a nice birthday celebration, and now your waiter has ruined it. You and your restaurant had better make this right, or we're not letting this go!"The manager's face went pale. He hastily bowed and scraped as he apologized, then spun around and glared furiously at the waiter. "Rowan, what the hell is wrong with you? How useless can you be? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Samuel!"The young man, Rowan, went as white as a sheet. His voice shook as he explained, "I've already apologized, Mr. Wade. I swear I didn't do it on purpose. Mr. Samuel suddenly bumped into my tray, and that's when—"Before he could finish speaking, Samuel punched him squarely in the face. "What, are you trying to pin this on me now?"

Chapter 3

I ignored Samuel's taunt, shrugged off my jacket, and draped it over Rowan's shoulders.He flinched, then looked up at me and said in a small voice, "Thank you."People all around the restaurant were staring. Samuel gritted his teeth, then spun toward our parents and wailed, "Mom, Dad, look at Jeremiah! He's taking a stranger's side and bullying me!"My mother's face went dark. She pinched my arm hard. "So your loyalty's to outsiders now? I swear you're nothing but an ingrate! Sam is your brother, yet you're helping some nobody instead. Do you have any idea how expensive his shoes are?"I gritted my teeth through the pain. "Just let the waiter go. I'll pay for the shoes."My mother snorted and tore into me. "You'll pay? With what? Doesn't your money come from our family? Acting generous with our cash now, are you?"I shook my head and pulled out my wallet. "This is money I earned from my job."The moment Samuel heard that, his tone turned sarcastic. "Mom, Dad, what does Jeremiah

Chapter 4

My mother leaned in too, staring hard at the gold pendant. "With quality like this, it's worth at least tens of thousands of dollars. How can a nobody like him have something like this? He definitely stole it!"My father frowned, his tone turning icy as he spoke to Mr. Wade. "Your staff is stealing from guests, Mr. Wade. Your reputation is going to be ruined if this gets out."Mr. Wade broke out in a cold sweat. He grabbed Rowan by the arm and snapped, "That pendant you stole is Mr. Samuel's to deal with as he sees fit. Hand it over and apologize, now!"Rowan shook his head desperately, his voice already hoarse. "I didn't steal it! It really was left to me by my parents!"Samuel toyed with the pendant, then lifted his foot and ground his heel down on Rowan's fingers, looking down at him from above. "You say you didn't steal it and we're just supposed to believe you? Fine, then. Let's call the cops. Let them figure out who it really belongs to. However…"He paused, pressing down ha

Chapter 5

The crowd instantly parted down the middle as a man who looked to be in his 50s stepped forward. He stood tall and straight, carrying the sharp, commanding presence of someone used to being in charge. His gaze landed on Rowan, and a storm of emotion flickered across his face.Samuel, still clueless, started yelling at him. "Who the hell are you, you old geezer? Mind your own business and get out of the way!"The man ignored him and walked straight up to Rowan. He lifted a hand and gently brushed the bruises on Rowan's face, his eyes filled with heartache and guilt. "My boy… I've finally found you. I'm your dad."Rowan was evidently thrown for a loop. He instinctively shook his head and said, "Sir, I… I don't know you…"Samuel crossed his arms and let out a mocking laugh. "Did you hear that, old man? He doesn't even know you. Quit embarrassing yourself and get lost!"My father was more cautious. He narrowed his eyes and gave the man a once-over before testing the waters. "You must

Chapter 6

My heart gave a jolt. I'd heard that the head of the Graham family was ruthless and decisive. There was no guarantee that he wouldn't take his anger out on me.Biting back the searing pain in my hand, I forced out, "Not anymore. I've already cut ties with the Stones."The man's gaze darkened, his expression unreadable.Rowan glanced at him nervously and said in a small voice, "Sir… this guy's been protecting me the whole time. He's a good person. Please don't make things hard for him."The man's expression eased a little. His eyes dropped to my bleeding palm, and for a second, his gaze softened just a little."Get my private doctor here now," he said. Then, he turned back to Rowan, his eyes full of heartache. "Son, I really am your father. All these years, your mother and I have never stopped looking for you. And today, we've finally found you."Rowan still looked lost.The man suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said to one of his people, "Notify my wife right away. Tel

Chapter 7

Samuel's smile froze on his face, and his eyes went wide in disbelief. Our parents were stunned, too. It took a while for the three of them to process what Mr. Carrigan had said.Samuel stammered, "M-Mr. Carrigan, are you sure you're not mistaken?"Mr. Carrigan didn't even spare him a glance. Instead, he hurried over to Mr. Graham, bowed respectfully, and said in a panicked tone, "Mr. Graham, I'm so sorry for being blind and offending you and your son. Please, do forgive me!"Samuel stared at him like he'd lost his mind. "Mr. Graham? Who's that? Why are you treating him like royalty, Mr. Carrigan? He's just some random old geezer who came out of nowhere!"My father seemed to realize something. All color drained from his face, and his voice shook as he repeated, "M-Mr. Graham? You don't mean the Graham family… the wealthiest family in the city…"The second the words left his mouth, his strength seemed to leave him. He slumped on the floor in a limp mess. He clearly knew exactly how

Chapter 8

After being shoved off the rooftop and reduced to a bloody mess splattered on the ground, my soul had floated out of my body and into the air. I'd watched my parents gently soothe a terrified Samuel."Sam, don't be scared. So what if Jeremiah fell and died? It's his own fault for slipping. It has nothing to do with you at all."Afterward, they'd twisted the truth. They'd posted a fake statement online claiming I was mentally ill and had taken my own life. On camera, Samuel had "come clean" about me always being jealous of him. He claimed I'd staged that whole restaurant incident just to frame him.My parents had backed him up, swearing I'd always been extreme and unstable at home, constantly bullying my "sweet, well-behaved" younger brother.They'd even hired a troll army to pretend to be my classmates and trash my reputation all over the internet. They'd made me out to be a monster who'd stolen from my family and hogged Samuel's stuff. They'd painted me as a total lost cause.Ove

Chapter 9

Mr. Graham leaned over to one of his subordinates and murmured a few words. The man nodded and strode out of the restaurant to get it done.My parents slumped on the floor in defeat, their faces ashen and lifeless.Maybe 15 minutes later, my father's phone started buzzing like crazy. One after another, payment demands and contract termination notices popped up on the screen.That finally broke him and my mother."Stone Group is bankrupt? No! That's impossible! I spent my whole life building this company!" my father roared.The blow was too much. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out on the spot.My mother threw herself at him, shaking him and sobbing. "Stuart, wake up! Don't scare me like this!"Mr. Graham frowned, clearly annoyed. He said icily, "They're too noisy. Take them away."The bodyguards immediately moved and dragged the three of them out.I withdrew my gaze and looked at Mr. Wade, who was hiding in a corner. I said, "Mr. Wade, you're not innocent in this. You forc
