All Chapters of Exiled Heir Cuts Ties for Good: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

The next morning, the Gordon family held a press conference. They announced that their son had been switched at birth and that the biological heir would marry Jodie instead.The media was in an uproar. Everyone knew Jodie was now paralyzed, yet the Gordons were pushing their long-lost son straight into the marriage.No one was stupid enough not to understand their intentions. Rumors began flying, sending the company's stock into a brief tailspin.The lawyer handed me the share transfer agreement. After carefully checking every clause, I signed my name without hesitation.With that 15% in hand, my goal was accomplished. The future of the Gordons had nothing to do with me now.The moment the press conference wrapped up, I grabbed my suitcase to leave, only to hear rushed footsteps behind me."Hank, stop right there!"Vivian caught up to me and grabbed my wrist with a frown. "Do you really have to burn every bridge? Do you have any idea how humiliated Liam was back there yesterday?

For the next month, I lived in Jodie's bedroom.The maids would occasionally hear crashing sounds from behind the door, accompanied by my muffled groans.The reality inside, however, was completely different.I would be sitting comfortably on the couch, holding long silver needles and precisely inserting them into key acupuncture points on Jodie's legs.The loud crashing noises were simply Jodie tossing cheap vases against the floor to put on a show for anyone listening outside."Ugh…" As I twisted the final needle into place, Jodie's brow furrowed, and a thin sheen of sweat broke out on her forehead."Feeling the pain now?" I raised an eyebrow, handing her a towel.As she took it to wipe her forehead, a sharp gleam lit up her dark eyes. "Yeah. It feels like a million ants chewing their way through the bone. It's a world better than that dead, numb silence from before.""That means it's working. The nerves are reconnecting." I smoothly pulled out the needles and said casually,

"Regret? Why on earth would we regret anything?" Liam sneered, opening his mouth to spew more insults.Before he could get another word out, the main lights dimmed sharply, and a dazzling spotlight hit the stage at the front of the hall.The entire crowd fell quiet in an instant.Dressed in a striking white evening dress, Yelena walked confidently onto the stage. She held the microphone, her face beaming with unrestrained arrogance and ambition."Thank you, everyone, for taking the time out of your busy schedules to join us tonight. As you all know, my sister Jodie was tragically paralyzed in a car accident and can no longer lead Stafford Corp."For the future of Stafford Corp, the board has unanimously decided that, effective today, I will officially take over as chairwoman of Stafford Corp!"Thunderous applause instantly tore through the ballroom. Carl and Vivian clapped the hardest, their faces plastered with the flattering grins of gamblers who had hit the jackpot.Yelena ra

I leaned in slightly, looking Olivia straight in the eyes as I delivered each word. "Did you really think I didn't know the truth behind that so-called hospital mix-up back then?"Olivia's weeping stopped abruptly. Her pupils dilated as sheer horror washed over her face."I forgot to mention. The very first day I returned to the Gordon family, I looked into the archived records. There was no nurse mistake, nor was there any accidental mix-up."The truth is, you hired a blind fortune teller back then who claimed my astrological chart brought ruin and that staying with the Gordon family would curse you and destroy your wealth."So, you two so-called biological parents abandoned me at a rural relative's house overnight to let me fend for myself!"Then, you bought Liam, who had a perfect chart to protect the household and attract fortune, from an orphanage and spent 20 years pouring money into raising him as your own blood."My voice wasn't loud, yet it cracked like lightning through
