My mom is the sole heiress to the colossal Morgan fortune. While she was away on a business trip, my dad orchestrated a scheme. He let his secret illegitimate son, Solomon—whom he’d been hiding for years—steal my project and take credit for my hard work. My dad even introduced him to everyone as the true heir of the Morgan family. At the company’s annual gala, Solomon had his arm wrapped around Shakira, my arranged fiancée. He pulled out a few hundred-dollar bills and slapped them right against my face. “You should be honored I even used your proposal. Don’t be so ungrateful!” My sister, Sara, stood by his side, watching cold-heartedly. “Solomon is so kind. He’s actually paying an intern like you.” “I suggest you know your place. Don’t forget who the real heir is!” In my past life, I cared too much about family. I treated Solomon like a real brother and handed everything over to him on a silver platter. But in the end, they used me until I had nothing left, and then they disposed of me. Reborn and seeing these three for the monsters they really are, I didn’t hesitate. I punched Solomon right in the face in front of everyone, leaving his mouth a bloody mess. “A cheap male escort from a sketchy club thinks he can step on my head?”
Seeing Solomon spit out a bloody tooth, Sara panicked. “Kennedy, have you lost your mind! Touch him again, and I swear Dad will fire you on the spot!” The surrounding employees rushed over to hold me back, shouting at me. “That’s the Chairman’s grandson! The heir to the Morgan Group! You’re just a tiny intern, are you trying to get yourself killed?!” I sneered and shook off their grip. “Since when can a male escort steal my identity?” “Sara, you’ve completely lost your mind over this bastard!” My so-called sister panicked. She slapped me across the face to cut me off. “You must be drunk! What kind of delusion is this? Steal your identity?” “Solomon is my real brother!” Looking at Sara, a cold shiver ran down my spine. I couldn’t believe she could say something so shameless for Solomon’s sake! Sara wasn’t even a blood Morgan. When my mom was pregnant with her second child, she had a miscarriage. Devastated, she adopted a baby girl from an orphanage to raise as her own. Who would have thought we were raising a viper? She lived with the Morgans for twenty years. My mom treated her like a biological daughter, and I loved her like a real sister. But to her, our guidance was nothing but “chains.” She would rather treat an outsider like Solomon as her brother than stand by my side. I touched my stinging cheek and sneered at her. “Sara, you’re getting bolder. You actually have the guts to help Solomon steal my identity.” “When Mom gets back and finds out you let Solomon take my place in the marriage alliance, have you thought about the consequences?” Sara’s face turned pale. She was clearly terrified of my mother’s ruthless business methods. Shakira, who had been watching the drama unfold, frowned and finally spoke. “What do you mean by that? Isn’t Solomon the heir to the Morgan Group?” Hearing this, Solomon immediately put on a show, looking deeply hurt. “My mom always took great care of Kennedy. She said she treated him like her own son.” “I didn’t expect him to actually believe it. Now he hallucinates about being the true heir.” “Shakira, please don’t believe a word he says!” I didn’t explain. I just wanted to see Shakira’s reaction. The Russells were the family my mother chose for my arranged marriage. If the heiress of the Russell family couldn’t even see through a lie this obvious, then this marriage wasn’t worth keeping anyway. Shakira hesitated and looked at Sara. Sara quickly jumped in. “Shakira, do you think I wouldn’t recognize my own brother?” “Don’t forget the sapphire necklace Solomon gave you. That’s the Morgan family heirloom.” “It’s only given to the future daughter-in-law. Do you still doubt Solomon?” Hearing this, I stepped forward and landed another heavy punch on Solomon’s face. “You dared to steal my mom’s necklace!” That necklace had been passed down through generations of the Morgan family. It would never be taken out until the wedding day. Solomon was incredibly bold to steal something like that just to please Shakira! “Enough! Security, drag this lunatic away!” This time, it wasn’t Sara. It was Shakira. She looked at me with pure disgust. She clearly believed Sara’s lies completely. As several security guards pinned me down, a colleague from the office mustered up the courage to speak up for me. “Miss Russell, Kennedy only snapped because Mr. Solomon stole his project. He’s just drunk, it’s understandable.” Shakira sneered. “He’s just an intern at the Morgan Group. It’s his job to serve the family! What’s wrong with taking his project?” “Didn’t Solomon give him a few hundred bucks as compensation? People of your class are just so greedy!” I stared at Shakira, stunned. I didn’t expect the Russell heiress, who always acted sweet and kind in public, to be so repulsive behind closed doors. She and Solomon were birds of a feather! Sara smirked at me triumphantly, hugging Shakira’s arm. “Thank you, Shakira. I knew you would see right through him. He’s just trash!” Looking at Shakira’s arrogant face, I felt sick to my stomach. The Russells were far less powerful than the Morgans. No wonder Shakira threw away her dignity just to cling to the Morgan family. Too bad the guy she was trying so hard to please was a complete fraud! I couldn’t wait to see her face when she realized she married a penniless bastard!
In my past life, when I found out Solomon was my dad’s illegitimate son, I wanted to tell my mom. But I gave up the idea after my dad and Sara begged me on their knees. My dad had cried, kneeling before me. He said Solomon shared half of my blood, and he begged me to treat Solomon like a brother. He confessed that marrying into the Morgan family made him feel emasculated. So, he kept a secret mistress and had an illegitimate child. He had hidden it well for years to keep my mom happy. In the end, my heart softened, and I kept their secret. Before my dad brought Solomon back, Solomon worked at a host club. That was where Sara met him and got hooked. Feeling sorry for Solomon, I was the one who asked my mom to let him intern at the company. I never expected that Solomon wanted far more than just a job! Taking advantage of my mom’s one-year business trip abroad, my dad forced me to hand over my projects to build up Solomon’s resume. He even went behind my back and told the board of directors that Solomon was the true heir of the Morgan family! All of this was to pave the way for Solomon to marry into the wealthy Russell family. In my past life, I let my dad and Sara pull the strings, giving up everything I owned. But I never expected that after stealing my identity, they would orchestrate a car accident to kill me. When my mom rushed back from abroad, the shock and grief caused her heart failure. The entire Morgan fortune fell into their hands. Thinking about my past life, my blood boiled with hatred. This time, I will make all of them pay! Sweeping my gaze across the room, I locked eyes with Scott, the General Manager. My mom had sent me to the company to learn the ropes from the bottom, but to prevent the executives from giving me special treatment, she kept my identity a secret from everyone. Only Scott, her most trusted manager, knew who I really was. I dragged him out of the crowd and demanded loudly, “Scott, you are the person my mom trusts the most.” “Tell everyone right now. Am I the true heir of the Morgan Group?” When I pulled Scott forward, Solomon’s body tensed up. Even Sara’s face flickered with panic. If my mom found out that Solomon was pretending to be me to get married, they would be utterly ruined! Under the watchful eyes of the entire room, Scott frowned and let out a long sigh. “Kennedy, I know Mrs. Kelly thinks highly of you, but you can’t actually believe you’re a Morgan.” “Apologize to Solomon right now! If you keep spreading these lies, I’ll fire you myself!” Solomon and Sara sighed in relief, and the crowd burst into whispers. “I knew Kennedy was out of his mind! He really thought he was a big shot.” “He’s just jealous of Mr. Solomon’s success. A few drinks and he forgets who he is.” “Do you think he has a crush on Miss Shakira? That’s why he’s acting like a psycho.” Hearing the mockery, I stared coldly at Scott. “Do you know what happens to people who betray my mom?” Scott shivered, quickly looking away, too guilty to meet my eyes. I sneered internally. In truth, I already knew he had been bought off by my dad. In my past life, when my mom received the news of my death, she was devastated. Right at that moment, Scott ran to her with fake news—claiming the company was facing a massive scandal, the cash flow was cut off, and partners had fled with the money… My mom couldn’t handle the successive blows, which triggered her fatal heart attack. And all of that was fabricated by Scott under my dad’s orders! I dragged him out today just to force him to expose himself so my mom could see his true colors! Just minutes ago, I had already sent an audio recording of his previous secret meetings to my mom. She would see it very soon. But right now, with Scott’s backing, Solomon became even more arrogant. He kicked me hard in the chest and spat on the floor. “You piece of trash, you think you can fight me? Security! Beat him up and throw him out!” As I tried to stand up, several security guards pinned me down. Just as a fist was about to hit my face, a familiar voice boomed through the hall. “Stop! What do you think you are doing at the company gala?!”
The guards quickly let go of me. My dad rushed over, pulled me up, and whispered angrily in my ear. “Why are you being so difficult? Ruining the gala like this!” “He is your brother, you should have just let him have his way.” “Good thing I got here fast. I would have been so heartbroken if you got hurt!” I watched him put on his act of a loving father. If I hadn’t been reborn, I would never have believed that this very man was the one who planned my murder. I pushed his hand away and said coldly, “What brother? I am the only child of the Morgan family. I don’t have a brother!” “A bastard like him isn’t even fit to step into our house!” Exposed in public, my dad’s face flushed bright red. “You bastard!” He slapped me hard across the face, pointing his finger at my nose. “I came here to help you, and you dare call my son a bastard!” “You’re just an intern, yet you have the nerve to claim you’re a Morgan. You must be tired of living!” Sara quickly chimed in, backing my dad up. “Exactly! Some random lunatic is here throwing a tantrum.” “Claiming he’s the real Morgan heir. What a joke!” “Do you think my dad and I can’t even recognize our own family?” She thought she had all the backing she needed, her voice dripping with venom. I found it hilarious. I looked at her and asked, “Your family? Sara, did you forget you’re just an orphan we brought home from the orphanage?” “If I hadn’t chosen you back then, my mom would never have adopted you!” “Now that you’re grown up, you throw all that gratitude down the drain!” Sara’s face turned white, then red. Her origin was her deepest insecurity. To her, being adopted was a shameful stain on her life. Having it exposed in front of everyone almost made her lose her mind. Shakira couldn’t help but defend Sara. “So what if Sara is adopted? She is recognized by the Morgan family, which makes her a thousand times better than trash like you!” Seeing her defend Sara, I let out a sharp laugh. She probably had no idea that Sara and Solomon were already sleeping together! Back when Solomon worked at the host club, he wasn’t doing anything clean, and those two had spent plenty of nights in bed together. Solomon pointed at me, raising his voice. “Even if Sara is adopted, she is my sister. Who are you to talk down to her?” He was so deep in his acting that he truly believed he was the master of the Morgan family. I slapped his hand away and said coldly, “Because I am the sole heir of the Morgan Group!” “The Morgan family belongs to me and my mother. A parasite who married in and an adopted orphan do not count as Morgans!” “If I want you gone, I can make you kick the curb in a second!” The moment the words left my mouth, my dad lost his mind. He slapped me repeatedly, then kicked me hard in the ribs, screaming, “I knew you were an ungrateful dog!” “I’ve been married to Kelly for years. We are husband and wife. This company is mine too!” “Let me tell you, this company belongs to me, and it will belong to Solomon in the future. You are the one who is going to get kicked out!” Having married into the family, even though he held an executive title, his abilities were nowhere near my mother’s. The whispers of being a “trophy husband” had built up a toxic rage inside him over the years. Now that I had exposed his rawest nerve, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he kicked me several more times. My body throbbed with excruciating pain, and I coughed up a mouthful of blood on the floor. But he didn’t care. Shakira looked at me with disgust and waved her hand. “Get him out of here. He’s an eyesore.” I looked at the smug grins on Solomon and Sara’s faces and said softly, “Have you guys ever wondered what will happen when my mom gets back and finds out what you did?” My dad’s face tensed, but then a ruthless glare flashed in his eyes. “You are completely insane, whispering nonsense!” “Tie him up and throw him into a mental asylum! Don’t let him out until he’s completely cured!” Seeing the murderous look in his eyes, I knew he wanted me dead. Just as I was calculating how to make my escape, the heavy doors of the hall were slammed open. “I’d love to see which one of you dares to send my son to an asylum!”
