Chapter 1: Freedom from Prison
The towering iron door opened, and a man stepped out of it slowly. A backpack was strapped to his broad, muscular back.His gaze was sharp with a hardened jaw. The man was 35-year-old Diego Cartwell Burke, an ex-convict who was officially released from prison today.Diego had completed his 10-year sentence for murder, a crime he never committed, but had to serve a long sentence for.Diego walked with certainty, striding through the crowded streets of Boston.

Chapter 2: Meeting the Former Servant
"What did you do to my father, Diego?!" someone shouted at the open door.He had just arrived and rushed into the room, helping Austin up."Are you okay, Dad?" he asked once Austin was on his feet. It was Carlos, Austin's son."It hurts," Austin replied, fingering the cheek where his nephew had punched him."Why did you attack my father?" Carlos asked again, glaring at Diego."Your father deserved it. He took my father's company. You're the same, enjoying the company that my father worked so hard to build from scratch."Carlos was silent, unable to answer because what Diego said was true."Get out of here, Diego!" Carlos shoved his cousin away."You're kicking me out of my father's company? Don't expect me to leave.""All of Brandon's assets have been transferred to me and Carlos. You're poor, you have nothing," Austin said loudly. He tried to stand up straight despite the pain in his face."I don't believe it."Carlos took a secret document from Austin's vault and handed it to Diego.

Chapter 3: Conspiracy
"I once eavesdropped on Mr. Austin, Mrs. Margaret, and Mr. Carlos talking in the backyard. They were celebrating the success of eliminating Mr. Brandon and Mrs. Cecilia and framing you for the murder of your parents, even though I know you never did it."Diego was stunned into silence as soon as he heard this statement from Susanne's mouth. He didn't want to believe it, but it seemed to be true.What Susanne said matched Austin's treatment at the office. He had rudely sent Diego away. Diego was actually the heir to Brandon, his older brother. Austin had taken over Diego and Gloria's parents' entire estate.It's sad. One's own relatives are so cruel to other relatives just for the sake of controlling wealth and property.Diego had no idea that his uncle was the mastermind behind his parents' death. Not only that, Austin had also manipulated the killer to lead Diego to a 10-year sentence.Diego's hands clenched into fists, his jaw hardened, his lips trembled. Before he knew it, Diego's

A knock on the door was heard by Carlos, who was fast asleep in his room. Carlos began to open his eyes slowly, then pushed away Samantha's hand that was pressing on his stomach.Carlos glanced at the clock on the wall with narrowed eyes; it was only 2 am."Carlos... open the door!" The person knocking on the door spoke.Carlos knew that voice well. It was the voice of Margaret, his mother."Why is Mom knocking on my door at this time of night? What's wrong?" Carlos asked himself as he gathered his wits."Who?" Samantha asked Carlos, who also woke up."Mom.""What's wrong with you knocking on my door at this time of night?""I don't know."The knocking grew louder, Carlos got out of bed, and opened the door immediately. Meanwhile, Samantha remained in bed.Sure enough, Margareth was already standing at the door with a panicked look on her face when the door opened. Margareth was holding a lit cell phone.

"Leave him alone. If he dares to come in again, then I'll teach him a lesson myself.""Yes, Sir," the bodyguard bowed pol
