Chapter 1

“Wesley, get on your knees.”Victoria’s voice was cold as she looked down at me.Beside her stood Ethan, wearing an innocent, aggrieved expression, while my so-called daughter, Sophie, glared at me indignantly.“What are you waiting for? You stole something, and you still think you’re in the right?”Sophie glared at me furiously.“Get on your knees and apologize to Ethan right now!”Ethan put on a forgiving act and gently tugged at her sleeve.“Sophie, don’t talk to your dad like that. Maybe he just made a mistake.”What a saint.I’d been at the Sterling residence for three months, and this little performance happened almost every week. I was getting sick of watching it.The problem was that I wasn’t the Wesley Hart they were talking about.Three months ago, I’d simply had a huge argument with my sister and stormed out of the house. Somehow, I’d ended up being forcibly dragged home by this completely unhinged mother-daughter duo.I thought it was amusing, so I decided to st

And I looked exactly like him.An idea struck me, and I stopped struggling.Being away from home had been boring enough. Now that some entertainment had practically fallen into my lap, why not have a little fun?So I went along with it and let them take me back to the Sterling family home.Victoria noticed that I was distracted, and the anger on her face deepened.She suddenly shoved me away. I staggered a few steps before hitting the cold wall behind me.“Looks like you really won’t listen until you’re pushed to the brink.”She pulled out her phone and made a call right in front of me.“Freeze every bank account and credit card under Wesley Hart’s name. Effective immediately.”I couldn’t hear what the person on the other end said, but Victoria gave a cold snort.“Yes. Every single one. Let’s see how bold you are when you don’t have any money to rely on.”She hung up and looked at me like I was nothing more than an ant, clearly waiting for me to panic and beg.Too bad for h

“Ah!”Almost instantly, Victoria and Sophie came rushing upstairs.The moment they reached the landing, they saw Ethan lying at the corner of the stairs, blood running from the cut on his forehead, while I stood at the top of the staircase with an indifferent expression.“You heartless bastard! What did you do to Ethan?”Sophie was the first to rush over, pointing at me and screaming.Victoria immediately ran to Ethan and carefully pulled him into her arms. The concern and fury in her eyes made it seem as though she wanted to tear me apart.“I didn’t push him.”“Shut up!”Still supporting the supposedly unconscious Ethan, Victoria glared at me as if I were nothing but trash.“I told you I’d break you of that attitude! Looks like locking you in your room was far too lenient.”She turned toward the bodyguards rushing upstairs and shouted, “Take him to the basement! No one lets him out without my permission!”The two bodyguards immediately stepped forward, roughly grabbing me b

Sophie and Ethan were completely stunned as well, staring at me as though they were looking at a ghost.Just then, the front door of the mansion was kicked open from the outside.More than a hundred bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses flooded into the house like a tide, taking control of the entire mansion within seconds.Nora led the group and walked straight toward me, bowing respectfully.“Mr. Caldwell, we’re here to take you home.”I nodded and casually glanced at Victoria and Sophie.Then I pulled my government ID from my pocket and tossed it onto the coffee table in front of Victoria.Under Name, it clearly read: Nathan Caldwell.Victoria stared at the ID on the table.The shock and fear in her eyes were unmistakable.Sophie looked even paler. She stumbled back a step and murmured,“Nathan Caldwell… from the Caldwell Group… No way…”Just then, the bodyguards standing on either side suddenly bowed in unison, clearing a path.A woman in a designer suit walked into

She nodded and drove in a different direction.Eventually, we arrived at the underground parking garage beneath the headquarters of the Caldwell Group.We took a private elevator straight to the top floor.My sister pushed open a hidden door inside her office, revealing a more private lounge behind it.A man in a sharp white suit stood with his back to us in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing out at the city below.Hearing the door open, he slowly turned around.His face was both familiar and strange.His features were almost identical to mine.It was Wesley Hart.He walked toward me with a faint smile.“Thanks for doing this, Nathan.”“No problem.” I shrugged. “I just played the part too well. They got so deep into the role that they nearly sacrificed me as the stand-in.”My sister looked at the two of us and said solemnly, “Julian, I’ve already revealed Nathan’s identity to the Sterling family as planned. It’s your turn now.”Julian.Julian Prescott.That wa

“You need a stage,” my sister said.“I’ve already got one.”Julian smiled as he opened his tablet. The screen displayed an invitation that had just been released online.“International Designer JP: New Collection Launch and Copyright Statement.”JP was Julian’s anonymous professional identity, the name under which he had risen to international fame.The name had become synonymous with creativity, innovation, and mystery. He had never shown his face publicly, making JP something of a legend in the design world.And Ethan had openly said more than once that JP was the designer he admired most.How ironic.“The event is tomorrow at ten in the morning.”Julian looked at me.“Nathan, a financial attack is a slow knife. It’ll hurt them, but it won’t bring them down overnight. My knife needs to be fast and precise. I want to drive it straight into Ethan’s heart with one strike.”I understood exactly what he meant.A financial collapse needed time to unfold, but reputations could b

He had fallen from the top straight into the gutter.Even more interesting was the Sterling family’s reaction.Three hours after the scandal began to spread, the Sterling Group posted a statement on its official website, expressing shock and regret over Ethan’s personal conduct and announcing the immediate termination of all business dealings with his studio.After that, my phone and Julian’s private work number became a confession hotline for the Sterling mother and daughter.I didn’t answer a single call.Victoria sent me hundreds of messages in a row.I didn’t reply.She turned to Julian instead.“Wesley…No, Mr. Prescott. I know I was wrong. Ethan deceived me. Sophie has already kicked him out, and we have nothing to do with him anymore. Please, just give me a chance to apologize to you in person.”Sophie’s performance was even more ridiculous.She sent dozens of voice messages, sobbing and rambling about how sorry she was and how she had given Ethan a harsh lesson.She s

My sister’s expression darkened. She was about to step forward when my phone suddenly vibrated.It was a message from Julian.Just two words:Come upstairs.My sister and I exchanged a look, walked past the mother and daughter, and used our key cards to enter the building.When the elevator doors opened, the door to Julian’s apartment was slightly ajar.I pushed it open and found him sitting quietly on the couch. On the coffee table in front of him was a tablet pointed toward the door. Its screen displayed the back end of a live stream, and the number of viewers had already surpassed a million.So he’d planned this from the beginning.“Someone like her won’t give up until you strip away the last shred of her dignity.”Julian looked up and gave me a calm smile. There was a cold, ruthless determination behind it.Sure enough, the security guards downstairs hadn’t been able to stop Victoria’s desperate attempt to get upstairs. Somehow, she’d managed to force her way up and was n

Julian calmly closed the door.My sister said nothing. She simply nodded at us before turning and heading downstairs to deal with the aftermath.Julian and I exchanged a look, both of us seeing the same sense of relief in each other’s eyes.A month later, I found myself standing once again in the heart of the city’s central business district.The two gilded words “Sterling Group” that had once towered over the top floor were being slowly removed by a crane. They swung through the air in a lonely arc before finally being tossed into a scrap truck.In their place were several brand-new letters:“Caldwell Global Center.”Julian stood beside me. He was dressed in a sharp white suit, his short hair neatly styled, his eyes clear and resolute.Together, we stood in the executive office that had once belonged to Victoria, looking down through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows at the bustling city below.“From now on, this is your design headquarters.”I handed him a glass of champ
