The Shameless and Invincible True Heir
Sael Walker
I'd barely been welcomed back into the inner circle when the fake heir tried to pull me into his little crew.
The other rich kids, of course, couldn't resist messing with me. They pushed me to smoke and drink, treating me like some obedient stooge.
I was pissed—steam practically coming out of my ears. He, meanwhile, put on this innocent act and said, "Hey, go easy on my brother. He just moved back from the middle of nowhere and doesn't know how things work around here. I'll take this one for him."
Everyone ate up his "loyalty," and just like that, my reputation as some clueless hick was sealed.
That day, he was set on dragging me to another rich-kid party. I was about to put my foot down when, out of nowhere, the steward from one of the capital's old-money families showed up at our door.
He said it was a special order from the lady's father—an extravagant gift.
My parents' faces lit up instantly. They clapped the fake heir on the shoulder, practically glowing with pride. "Ryan, you've made us proud! Looks like Sophia's family is more than pleased with you. This engagement—well, it's as good as done!"
Ryan straightened his tie with practiced charm, shooting me a smug, taunting look.
But when I glanced at the label on the gift box, I couldn't help but laugh.
Every new hire at Harrington Group gets the same welcome package.
If the Chairman of Harrington Group knew someone was mistaking it for an engagement gift for his daughter, he'd be furious enough to lose sleep.
