Chapter 1

Scott's POVAcross the street from the hospital, the city's top high school was in the middle of a huge graduation celebration, with music blaring and cheers filling the air.The star of the celebration was my mother's godson, Winston Zeller. He had earned the highest SAT score in the state that year.My mother, Yolanda Quinn, was a shareholder in the school and Winston's godmother. She proudly took the stage to present him with his award and scholarship as everyone looked on enviously.The celebration was theirs. Just two blocks away, the hospital room was dead silent.My father, Paul Carson, died with regrets. He wasn't able to find peace even at the very end.Several members of the medical staff offered me their condolences. "We did everything we could. I'm so sorry for your loss."Then, they handed me a form confirming Dad's death. "Would your mother be able to come sign this?"I took the paper and signed my name under "next of kin"."She can't. She's at the celebration ac

Scott's POVThat same day, Yolanda got Dad's contact information, broke off her engagement, and went after him.Yolanda was beautiful enough to rival a movie star, and she knew how to win Dad over. It took only a few months for the two of them to get married.After the wedding, my grandfather, Robert Carson, got her a job at Carson Group. She soon became a manager, and after I was born, she was transferred to headquarters and promoted to executive director.When Grandpa retired because of his health, Yolanda took his place as chairman.The day Grandpa died, she dropped her act and showed her true colors."Paul, I'll be honest with you. I only married you because your dad owned Carson Group," she said. "Now that Robert is dead, your family can't do anything for me anymore. There's no reason for me to stay."Dad begged her through his tears not to leave.Yolanda had the nerve to ask him, "When you took me away from another man, did you think about what you were doing to him?"

Chapter 3

Scott's POVThe two men carried themselves like thugs and looked nothing like police officers at all.Dad hadn't even been buried yet. There was no way I was going to let them take me without a fight."Officers, let me tie my shoes first. Then, I'll go with you," I said.I crouched down and pretended to fiddle with my laces. The moment they looked away, I took off running.I had barely made it out the door when they caught me and slammed me to the ground."You punk!" one of the men snarled. "You really thought you could fool us? I'll break your leg!"With that, he kicked my foot with all his strength, and I heard the bone crack.I screamed. Pain shot through me, and I rolled across the ground.One of them ran inside my house and came back out. "Paul isn't here. Just take the kid for now."…The two men locked me in a small, windowless room with white walls.They sat across from me and began questioning me. "Scott, do you know why we brought you here?"Their act was patheti

Chapter 4

Third-Person POV"I'm Scott's mother. If he dares call the police, I'll break his other leg!" Yolanda hissed.She rubbed her temples. Anything involving the Carsons always got under her skin.Yolanda only wished that Paul and Scott would die in an accident someday so she could finally have some peace.Karl noticed something was wrong and pulled Yolanda into his arms. He cooed softly in her ear, "Tell me, honey. Who made you so upset? I'll deal with them for you!"His warm breath tickled Yolanda's ear, and her anger vanished.She pouted. "It's those pathetic losers again. They keep making my life miserable."I've got some bad news for you. Those two idiots couldn't get anything out of Scott, so I told them to let him go."Karl panicked. "How could you let Scott go? If he won't confess, beat him until he does! Or fake some evidence and make him sign the confession."What if Scott ends up in the same college as Winston? Winston is so gentle and harmless. Scott will bully him merc

Chapter 5

Scott's POVYolanda turned her anger on me again. "Scott, you went to all this trouble to get me there so I would feel guilty, didn't you? Keep dreaming. Even if you and Paul died right in front of me, I wouldn't even shed a tear!"After she hung up, Dr. Whitmore sighed helplessly."Dr. Whitmore, just assume I don't have any parents," I said.He didn't argue with me.…The next day, Dr. Whitmore scheduled my surgery.Afterward, he told me, "Scott, once you recover, you'll walk normally again. But you can't do anything strenuous from now on."I didn't feel sorry about it at all. Because for the first time, there was something in my body that didn't come from Yolanda.Tomorrow would be the seventh day since Dad died, and I insisted on leaving the hospital despite Dr. Whitmore's objections.Dad had already died with regrets. If I didn't lay him to rest properly, what kind of son would I be?But when I came home in my wheelchair, I noticed that the front door wasn't fully closed

Chapter 6

Scott's POVThat evening, someone pounded on my front door.I opened the inner door and faced Yolanda and Karl through the locked security screen door.Yolanda got the first word in. "Scott, how dare you go to the media to expose me and file a police report against me?"You ingrate! Have you learned nothing after all these years? If I hadn't given birth to you and raised you, you wouldn't even be here!"She didn't stop there. "Students from that high school are either street thugs or kids who barely scrape through and end up working odd jobs. "And you expect me to believe you got into Havorton University? Anyone would be suspicious! I was just checking into you before I ended up taking the blame for everything just because I'm your mother!"I laughed. "So you know that school is terrible too, Yolanda?"You used your status as my mother to force me out of the city's top high school and into that dump. You did it because you hated Dad and me."You just wanted to watch me, as Pa

Chapter 7

Scott's POVKarl rushed over and pounded on the door. "Scott, don't make up lies about us! I was at the hospital yesterday, and I saw Paul getting you discharged and taking you home in a wheelchair.""If you're seeing dead people, I guess your time is almost up too," I retorted.Yolanda started to say something else, but I backed my wheelchair away and slammed the inner door shut in their faces.I could practically picture Yolanda's face turning beet red with rage as she cursed and pounded on the door nonstop.But a few security guards soon showed up and kicked them out.A neighbor in the homeowners' group chat wrote, "Those two have no decency!"I liked a few comments and replied, "And she calls herself a chairwoman. She has absolutely no class!"…Dad didn't smoke or drink. His only hobby was watching soccer.Tonight was the Erolean Championship final. I turned on the TV so Dad and I could watch one last soccer game together.His voice echoed in my head."Scott, the goal

Chapter 8

Scott's POV"Open your eyes and take a good look. My father, Paul Carson, died eight days ago," I said. "It was on the very same day I called you."I'm here today to take care of the paperwork for his death. If you still don't believe me, ask the officers to check the records."Yolanda looked at me in disbelief. "Karl told me you and Paul were just trying to get me to feel sorry for you. He saw Paul getting you discharged from the hospital.""Is that so? Then, how do you explain him throwing Dad's urn into the trash?" I asked."Impossible! Karl would never do something like that," Yolanda said."Do you want to see the security footage? It's crystal clear. You can see that shameless bastard Karl in every frame!" I said.Yolanda turned to the police. "Officer, is Paul really dead?""According to these documents, there's no doubt about it," the officer replied.Yolanda stood there in a daze for a moment, then crouched in front of me. "Scott, how have you managed all these days by

Chapter 9

Scott's POV"Karl specifically asked me to bring you home so we can all take care of you for a while," Yolanda said. "He also said you and Winston got into the same college, so when school starts, we'll take you both there together!"Her smile faded when I continued to ignore her. She put on a pitiful expression. "Scott, please. Give me a chance to make things right, okay?"Watching her act so helpless, I knew she had an ulterior motive. After all, even when she was living with us before, she rarely ever humbled herself.No matter who was right or wrong, Dad and I always had to apologize, placate her, and do whatever it took to make her happy.Poor Dad had given all his love to a woman who never deserved it."Ms. Quinn, don't waste your tears," I said. "I'm not Karl, so I won't fall for them."Yolanda tried to argue. "Scott, you just hate me because I left you and Paul. But all I did was pursue my own happiness. What's wrong with that?"Karl was only protecting me from getting

Chapter 10

Scott's POVPeople online started calling me their inspiration.Now that I had everyone's attention, I moved on to the next part of my plan.I exposed Winston online for hiring someone to take the SAT for him, with Yolanda, chairwoman of Carson Group, acting as his accomplice.I also posted his awful grades from all three years of high school. He barely passed most of his classes.The story quickly sparked public outrage, especially among high school seniors and their parents."Sure, regular grades aren't everything. But with scores like that, suddenly coming out on top of the SAT is an insult to all the kids who actually worked for it!""Exactly. There are geniuses in this world, but I don't believe anyone can suddenly become one on one of the biggest tests of their life!""As they say, if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide. The truth will always prevail!""The fact that this kid had to speak out online proves the local authorities can't be trusted. This ne
