Chapter 1

“Madam Jones, we’re honored to have you here. Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?“My apologies for the poor hospitality. I’ll arrange the best hotel in the area right away to make it up to you!”Knowing that Kelsey had arrived, the developer in charge of the construction site where I worked rushed over and kept fawning over her obsequiously.Over the last few years, Weylon and Kelsey had taken over all my resources and become increasingly successful. They had become a prominent and influential enterprise in the southeast region, and people fawned over them wherever they went.Kelsey was polite, but her demeanor carried a prideful indifference. “Save the trouble. I’m here for Max. I’ll leave after I talk to him.”The developer cast a puzzled glance at me. “Max Campbell?“What could you possibly have to say to this ugly, crippled laborer? Did he offend you?“Madam Jones, you just need to tell me, and I’ll properly handle him on your behalf.”Kelsey glared at him. “Get lost!”T

I was stunned for a moment before I said hoarsely, “Did Kelsey ask you to chase me away?”The developer did not answer. He sent the workers straight to my dormitory to throw out my belongings.My face was disfigured, and I was ugly enough to look scary.My right leg was crippled too. Even though I could endure hardship, no one was willing to take me in. I had begged on my knees to get this job.I refused to be driven away, so I tried to beg the developer again, but he grabbed my hair and yanked me to the ground.“I want you to get lost. Are you deaf? If you keep stalling and make Madam Jones wait, you’ll drag me into it. If you do, I’ll break your other leg too!”Suddenly, autumn rain began to fall. It got heavier and heavier.I struggled to get up on my feet. “I signed the contract. You can deduct my pay, but I’m not leaving…”Before I could finish, the developer slapped me.Under the developer’s instruction, the other workers reluctantly started hitting me as well.“Max, ju

I did not care about any of that.However, I had to endure it for my daughter’s sake.I went to Weylon’s company. Many senior executives and core staff were once my employees.Someone put a dead cockroach in my drinking glass. I gagged and spat it out.People immediately crowded around, made me kneel, and forced me to lick the floor clean where I had made a mess.When they saw me standing still, they put their hands on me.“Mr. Campbell, are you worried that you might get your hands dirty? No matter how dirty the cockroach and the floor are, can they be filthier than your heart?“Back then, you looked decent on the outside, but you killed people for a little profit! If Weylon hadn’t successfully comforted the villagers and saved the company, we’d all be out on the streets because of you!“Since you’re back, it’s clear that you have no shame. Hurry up and lick the floor clean!”I was so embarrassed that I tried to leave, but they restrained me. They forced my head down to clear

Chapter 4

The villagers who had raised me hated me to the bone. They were determined to make me pay with my life!If I had not been released early, the villagers would have cornered me and beaten me to death long ago.Kelsey’s so-called celebration would only expose my whereabouts and let the enraged villagers find me.“Why are you so worked up? This was Weylon’s idea. He’s thinking of you and trying to restore your reputation.”I could not help but smile coldly. “Thinking of me?“Then, you can announce all the truth of what happened back then and turn yourselves in…”Slap!Kelsey slapped me hard. “Josie is still here. What nonsense are you talking about?”It was only after Kelsey sent the puzzled Josie away that she dared to continue the topic. “Max, Weylon is my adopted brother, but we grew up together and are closer than real family. Why can’t you just let go of the past and forgive him?“Weylon’s intentions are good, but you’ve treated his kindness like trash. You even tried to ru

“Lily, get out of the way. You might get hurt!”“Lily, Max Campbell killed your father. How can you speak up for the murderer?”“You can’t lose your conscience! How much money did Max give you to convince you to help him?”I did not know how many times I had been stabbed. My consciousness was fading fast, and I barely managed to force my eyes open with my last bit of strength.Lily threw herself on top of me and shielded me from the villagers who were out of control.She did not answer the villagers. She just nervously put pressure on my bleeding wounds.“Max, hang in there. I already called an ambulance. You can’t die…”I remembered that Lily was once severely sick, and I had arranged the treatment for her and saved her life.Was she protecting me to repay that debt?However, her father was among the people Weylon had killed. She should have blamed me for that too...My thoughts were not clear due to my fading consciousness. With the last shred of strength I had, I raised my

When I heard it, I sighed in relief.Lily did it only to save the villagers. Since Weylon was so concerned with maintaining his public image, he would not dare touch her.With that weight off my mind, I could not be bothered to say another word to Kelsey. I closed my eyes and sent her out.When I hovered on the edge of sleep, I heard faint footsteps in the ward.During those ten years in prison, Weylon had tried to have me killed behind bars by bribing many desperate thugs.However, prison was not a lawless place. Not only did I survive under the guards’ protection, but I also developed sharp senses after being beaten night after night.So, the moment the footsteps sounded, I immediately jolted awake and opened my eyes.Then, I saw a small figure tiptoeing toward me.My body tensed up, and I was highly alert. It was only when she came close enough for me to see her face that I slowly relaxed.“Lily, what are you doing here?”Lily came up to my bedside and whispered, “Max, I c

Chapter 7

Warmth flowed through my heart. Before I knew it, my eyes turned teary. I quickly wiped the tears away.I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.“Lily, if I had wanted to send Weylon to prison, I could have done it ten years ago. But Weylon is insane. He’s ruthless and capable of anything.“I’m not afraid to die, but I don’t want to hurt other people for the sake of revenge.“If you still remember my kindness to you, promise me you’ll live a good life and stop taking any risks to investigate further.”However, in the next instant, a person I never expected to see appeared in the hospital room.Lily rubbed her eyes and smiled. “Max, can I keep investigating now?”…A month later, I forced myself back to the company with my wounds still not fully healed.Weylon arranged for all the employees to come downstairs and welcome me. The ceremony was extravagant and grand.I knew that as long as I was still alive, he would not be able to feel at ease, and he would stop at nothing

Chapter 8

Only then did Weylon unclench his teeth. He carried my daughter, smiled, and said, “I was afraid that if I told you the truth, you wouldn’t come.“Sorry, Max. I didn’t mean to curse you. It’s just that Josie hates you so much that she wishes you were dead. I only said that so you could see your daughter.”Weylon’s gentle voice stabbed straight at my heart.If it were not for me back then, he would still be a street thug who would never have a full meal. I helped him build his business, and he stepped all over me to get where he was today. Not only did he want to kill me, but he also used my daughter to tear my heart apart again and again.I could not smile anymore. Instead, I looked at him with the gaze I would give a dead man.“I don’t need my daughter to like me. Having a devoted brat like you is enough.”As soon as I said it, Josie bit me hard. “You bad man! I won’t let you insult my uncle!”Kelsey also cast a gloomy gaze at me. “Max, you’re really ungrateful! You keep misu

Chapter 9

For the dinner in the evening, Weylon purposely arranged for it to be held at a villa in the suburbs.Before getting out of the car, I looked around at my surroundings. I realized that if the villagers came to kill me, I would not even have anywhere to run.I would already be dead by the time the police and ambulance arrived.“Max, we’re here. Why aren’t you getting out?”Weylon’s smiling eyes turned cold. “You proposed the dinner yourself. It’s inappropriate to be late, right?”I let out a chuckle. “What are you trying to do?”“Don’t play dumb! You know exactly what I want.“You barely escaped with your life, and I was going to let you live a little longer. But you dared to humiliate me in public! You’re a disfigured, crippled piece of trash. How dare you?!”Weylon clenched his teeth. “Get out of the car and die like a good boy, and your daughter will always be my precious niece.“Otherwise, if she accidentally goes missing, you’ll never find her again.”This time, to make s

Chapter 10

“How’s that possible?“Where’s she?“Where’s Josie?” Weylon murmured dazedly.He had been able to destroy me because he held my daughter as leverage.Without my daughter, I would have already killed this beast ten years ago!“You’re smart. Can’t you guess?“Weylon, you just took my daughter to get her passport today. Guess where she is right now?”Weylon trembled strongly. “She went abroad? You sent Josie abroad?“No way!“That’s impossible!“She hates you so much. Why would she possibly listen to you?”However, my daughter never hated me.That night, the person who followed Lily to the hospital to see me was Josie.Lily contacted Josie long ago and told her the truth. She asked Josie to hold back and lower Weylon’s guard for my sake.“Weylon Jones, you’ve stolen everything from me. But you can never take away my daughter’s love for me.“Guess who recorded that conversation between you and Kelsey?“Without Josie’s help, how could Lily have found so much evidence?“Also
