Chapter 1

A slap cracked across my face.The blow split my lip. I staggered and fell.I knocked over the vase behind me. It shattered. I landed on the shards and cut my palms."Kneel!" my father, Paul Bishop, roared. I knelt in front of him and my mother, Jenna Cole."Noah, you're the older brother. An older brother is supposed to give in to his younger brother!" Paul shouted."Victor always thinks of you whenever he has something good. What's the harm in giving in to him this once?" Jenna asked."There's only one spot to study abroad. You have to give it to Victor!"I looked at my biased parents. Their favoritism was laughable.Ever since we were children, they had always been partial toward my younger brother, Victor Bishop. He was smooth and said the right things. I was just the quiet, honest one.They bought him expensive watches when I hadn't gotten new clothes in three years.When my shoes were falling apart, I glued the soles back on and kept walking.In summer, they slathered

Chapter 2

Jenna slapped me hard."You've been at this school less than a week! You don't even live on campus! And you took first in the mock exam? Who's going to believe that?"Go tell your teacher you're giving the spot to Victor. Do it now! If you don't, I'll report you for cheating and get you barred from the college exams!" she threatened.To them, Victor deserved the best, and I didn't.That was why they were using the college exams to force me to give up the spot.I let out a short laugh and stood up slowly.I was still bleeding from the glass, but I barely felt it. I coldly looked at my parents and shook my head."I earned this chance myself. I won't give it up for anyone!" I told them.Victor shot me a resentful look. His words carried an edge of insinuation."Stop talking tough, Noah. When Mom and Dad sent you to the countryside, they didn't even enroll you in a school. Are you that gifted? You taught yourself and beat students who've been grinding for decades?"Do you know ho

Chapter 3

Paul snapped. He jabbed a finger at my face and started shouting, "We're your parents! You wouldn't even be here without us! How dare you talk to us like that!""Is that so?" I asked.I let out a cold laugh and shook my head. "You had me, but you didn't raise me. Are we even family?"You dumped me in the countryside when I was eight, dressing it up as training. Does eating scraps and sleeping in a barn count as training? What was the point of that?"If I hadn't been too stubborn to die, would you even be standing here now, scolding me like you actually parented me?"My questions left them stunned. It seemed to hit them then, just how much they owed their older son.I continued questioning them, "You said, 'No need to treat him well.' Do you have any idea how much I suffered because of that? What right do you have to stand here as my parents and lecture me?"Paul sensed his authority being challenged, and the flicker of guilt on his face vanished in an instant. He glared at me co

Chapter 4

"Fine!" Paul snapped, his eyes turning vicious as he glared at me.In a fit of fury, he roared, "If you won't give it up, then get out of the Bishop family. We're disowning you!"Even though I'd braced myself for this, now that the moment had actually come, my heart still throbbed with pain.So it was true—my own parents had never once regarded me as their real son.In their eyes, I was nothing more than an unwanted extra.Even now, casting me out, they still had to protect Victor to the bitter end.I took a deep breath and let out a bitter smile. "Fine. From now on, I'm no longer a part of the Bishop family. Whatever happens to me has nothing to do with you anymore."With that cold declaration, I turned and strode away."Noah, stop right there!" Jenna shouted.She bit her lip, her eyes reddening as she tried to chase after me, but Paul grabbed her wrist.His face twisted with malice as he bellowed, "Let him go! Keeping an ingrate like that around is nothing but trouble! I'd

Paul and Jenna caught up with me at the airport, panting hard as they blocked my way. Sweat drenched their foreheads."Noah, your brother is seriously ill. He needs a kidney transplant. You can't leave. You have to donate a kidney to him!" they demanded.I looked at them coldly and suddenly let out a laugh."Brother? What brother? When you disowned me, didn't you two swear up and down that I was no longer part of the Bishop family?"And now that your precious son is sick, suddenly you remember you have a son you kicked out of the family? Don't you find your behavior disgusting?" I asked.I deliberately raised my voice. Nearby onlookers immediately stopped in their tracks, curiously turning to look our way.Paul's face went ashen with fury. He jabbed a finger at me and snarled, "Even if we disowned you, you're still technically our son! Our blood runs in you whether you like it or not! We raised you all these years. Do you have no sense of gratitude at all?"I shot him a look of

Chapter 6

I was their son too. I was their flesh and blood, just like Victor.Yet, he got their favoritism and their bottomless indulgence.And me?What did I get?I got their contempt and their mockery, beating after beating.I got Victor's abuse and humiliation, with endless disdain heaped on me.Paul never once stood up for me when Victor wronged me.Jenna never once dropped to her knees for my sake, wanting to save me.I had never once experienced that kind of love from my own parents.Right then, my chest ached so badly that I could barely stand it."I'm begging you, please, just save Victor. He's on the verge of death. Only your kidney can save him!" Jenna pleaded.She deliberately raised her voice as she clung to me, wailing. She made it sound as though I were a heartless brother who had simply stood by while my younger brother died. As if I were cold-blooded enough not to care about my own family.She put me on display in front of everyone, ripping away my last bit of dignity

Chapter 7

Could she really tell everyone that, all my life, she'd doted endlessly on her younger son instead?That whatever he wanted, she bought, that she practically wanted to hand him the best of everything under the sun?That the moment Victor so much as pouted, there was nothing he couldn't get?"I… This…" she stammered, eyes darting, not daring to say another word.The more they watched her act so out of character, the more visibly uncertain the crowd's expressions grew.Baffled, they eyed her with growing hesitation and pressed her again, "Wait, why aren't you saying anything? Someone asked you a question. Why won't you answer?""Yeah. If you've got nothing to hide, why not just say something?" another onlooker asked.The crowd gradually started to sense something was seriously off.They frowned, their questions growing louder and sharper."I think she's just guilty. If not, why wouldn't she say anything?" someone commented."Exactly. The second someone actually pressed her, she

Chapter 8

Just as I was puzzling this over, I heard an argument from outside the ward.I pushed back the covers and got up, and heard Jenna's voice. She was frantically demanding something."Doctor, are you sure you haven't made a mistake? How could he not be my biological son? Check carefully again. Did you mix up the blood samples and take someone else's by accident?" she asked.The doctor sighed. His tone was gentle but firm as he tried to reason with her. "Please try to stay calm. We've already run the tests. The results confirm your son is not biologically related to you. I know this is difficult, but please stay strong."Jenna sank to the floor and sobbed into her hands.Hearing their exchange, I felt something inside me go utterly cold and dead.I never imagined it. I truly wasn't my parents' biological son, which explained everything.It was no wonder Paul and Jenna had never shown me an ounce of warmth or love, or cared what happened to me. It was because Victor was their real so

Chapter 9

After hearing my words, Jenna looked hurt.She looked at me sorrowfully, her voice trembling as she said, "I'm sorry, son. It's all my fault as a mother. I shouldn't have treated you that way."Her words actually made me laugh. I couldn't help shaking my head, replying with open mockery, "Mother? You still have the nerve to call yourself that? Have you and Paul ever actually cared about me?"My eyes filled with sorrow. I took a deep breath and continued, voice trembling, "I already knew I wasn't your biological son. So you don't need to come in here and put on this fake performance. I honestly can't be bothered to care."She froze when she heard this.Tears blurring her eyes, she shook her head and said, voice shaking, "No… That's not right, Noah. Who told you that you're not my biological son?"You are our real son. You're the one I gave birth to!"I was stunned by what she said. I stared at her in shock, unable to process it for a long moment.Was she saying that I was the re

Chapter 10

After it was confirmed that Victor truly wasn't Paul and Jenna's biological son, they abandoned him without a second thought.They stopped pressuring me to donate a kidney. Instead, they tried every trick they could think of to win me back. They showered me with gifts and cooked all my favorite dishes. It was a calculated, desperate attempt to rekindle whatever love I might still have for them.I just found the whole thing pathetic.They once treated Victor like the most precious, fragile thing in the world. They coddled and doted on him all the time. Now, he was worthless and discarded just because they found out he wasn't their biological son.Heartless parents like them, who selfishly indulge themselves without a single thought for anyone else, will get what's coming to them eventually. As it turned out, their karma arrived sooner than expected.Spoiled his entire life and entirely unable to cope with being abandoned, Victor bought a knife and began tracking their daily route
