2025-02-28 03:47:47"Kai, you dare to come back? Kneel down this instant!"
A sharp, piercing voice rang through Kai's ears.
Startled by the furious tone, he looked up—standing before him was none other than his adoptive sister, Nora Benson, the eldest daughter of the Benson family.
Beside her stood a frail-looking man—Jake Benson, the biological son of the late patriarch.
Jake had gone missing as a child, which was why the old patriarch had adopted Kai from somewhere as a substitute.
But a few years ago, Jake was found and brought back, leaving Kai as the most awkward existence in the family.
"Are you deaf? I said kneel!"
Seeing Kai's confused expression, Nora stormed forward and slapped him hard across the face.
"Nora, what’s going on?"
Kai was utterly shocked, unable to comprehend why Nora was treating him this way.
In his hand, he held a delicate glass vial containing a precious extract—one he had painstakingly retrieved from a rare medicinal herb.
With this, Nora’s chronic stomach illness could finally be completely cured.
To find this herb, Kai had spent seven grueling days searching deep in the mountains, barely surviving the ordeal.
"Still pretending to be innocent? Tell me—where did you hide the gold bracelet my father left behind?"
Fury burned in Nora’s eyes as she grabbed Kai by the collar, demanding an answer.
"Nora, calm down! I truly have no idea what gold bracelet you're talking about…"
Kai's breathing grew unsteady. Since childhood, he had suffered from a severe condition that required him to take a special medicine just to maintain his health.
But with the recent death of the Benson family’s patriarch, their finances had worsened, and there was no money left to continue purchasing his medicine.
Knowing his days were numbered, he had chosen to risk his life one last time—to find a cure for Nora’s stomach illness.
Kai lifted the glass vial and said, "I spent the past seven days searching for this. It—"
"Lies! Do you think a worthless bottle of water can clear you of suspicion?"
Nora snatched the vial from his hands and smashed it onto the ground.
Kai trembled violently, staring at the shattered glass and the precious medicine wasted on the floor.
His heart sank into despair.
Nora suffered from an incredibly stubborn stomach illness, one so severe that even painkillers couldn’t help her.
To repay the Benson family for taking him in, Kai had devoted himself wholeheartedly to helping every member of the household.
For years, he had studied medicine on his own, eventually developing a treatment that could ease Nora’s pain. But even that wasn’t enough—he continued searching for a complete cure.
And now, after finally obtaining the one medicine that could heal her for good, Nora had crushed it with her own hands!
Looking at the furious Nora, Kai unexpectedly felt a sense of calm.
"Nora, I'll say it again—I don't know anything about a gold bracelet. I've never even seen it."
Nora let out a cold laugh. "Still lying? Jake saw you sneaking into my room yesterday and then slipping out again. If you didn’t steal it, who did?"
Kai stared at Jake in disbelief. He hadn't even been home for the past seven days!
Jake hesitated before speaking, his voice tinged with reluctance. "Brother, it's not that I don’t want to help you, but sister is really angry. I just thought if you secretly returned it, you two wouldn’t have to fight…"
Kai trembled, clenching his fists as he muttered, "I really didn't steal anything…"
Slap!
Nora struck Kai across the face, her voice sharp and merciless. "You didn't steal it? Then are you saying Jake did? I give Jake thirty thousand dollars a month in allowance—he has no need to steal! You're the only one in this family who needs money! If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
Kai was stunned by her words. "Thirty thousand dollars? I only get a hundred-dollar allowance. And didn’t you say our finances were struggling, to the point where I had to stop my medication? How does he have thirty thousand dollars to spend?"
Nora froze for a moment, then sneered.
"Struggling? Of course, we’re struggling when it comes to garbage like you. The Benson family doesn’t have money to waste on a servant's long-term medication!"
Kai stood in place, dazed. "To you… I'm just a servant?"
Nora let out another cold laugh. "What else would you be? Just because Father took you in as his adopted son doesn’t mean we ever agreed to it!"
"From the very beginning, you've always been nothing more than a servant of the Benson family!"
Hearing Nora’s cruel words, Kai, instead of feeling anger, laughed.
So, everything he had done for the past ten years—his dedication, his hard work—was merely his duty as a servant in their eyes.
They had never once seen him as family.
What a joke.
For ten years, he had used his intelligence to multiply the Benson family's assets tenfold. He had helped cure Nora’s chronic stomach illness. He had done countless things for every member of the Benson family…
Yet none of it mattered.
Looking at the shattered glass and spilled medicine on the floor, Kai suddenly felt a strange sense of relief.
"Nora… No, Miss Benson, I completely agree with you. I was never truly a part of this family."
"Glad you understand! Now, hand over the bracelet and get out of the Benson family!" Nora ordered without hesitation.
Kai let out a helpless chuckle. "I've already told you—I never stole any gold bracelet. If you don't believe me, Miss Benson, I suggest you call the police."
"And now… I’m leaving."
With a bitter smile, Kai stepped out of the Benson mansion.
As he walked away, he recalled everything he had done for the Benson family over the years. Every sacrifice, every effort—it all seemed ridiculous now.
He had secretly helped the Benson daughters achieve great success, yet now he realized they had always seen him as nothing more than a servant.
Watching Kai’s retreating figure, Nora felt an inexplicable discomfort. But the thought of him stealing, lying, and refusing to confess filled her with renewed anger.
"That bastard—I’ll have him arrested!"
Seeing that Nora was about to call the police, Jake grew anxious.
Because the truth was… Kai had never stolen the bracelet.
Jake had framed him.
If the police got involved, the truth would come out, and his entire scheme would be exposed!
Thinking quickly, Jake put on a considerate expression and gently reassured Nora. "Sister, don’t rush to call the police. We’re family—I’ll talk to Kai and convince him to return the bracelet."
Nora looked at Jake fondly, her anger softening. "You’re always so understanding. If Kai had even a tenth of your talent, I wouldn’t have minded if the Benson family acknowledged him as an adopted son."
Jake smiled on the surface, comforting Nora.
But in private, he quickly sent a message on his phone.
"Kill Kai. He can't be allowed to live."

Kai walked under the heavy rain despite his condition and in the heavy rain, his steps came to an abrupt stop when he felt a pain in his chest. His hand pressed desperately into his head as he tried his best to make sure that he didn't pass out but he was losing the fight. Just as the pain kept getting intense, he saw the bright lights of cars shine on him and he was astonished when the cars surrounded him. What is going on? Who are these people? Just as questions ran through his mind, men started getting out of the car. They had a baseball bat in hand, some of them held a machete and he was taken aback. They were thugs but what do they want with him?! The thugs started closing in on Kai, with the leader and second in command on the front while others followed, leering menacingly at Kai. He could feel their immense bloodlust and he felt like he was being cut down to shreds just by the way they glared daggers at him. “Look who it is!” The leader said, raising his machet

Kai was absolutely stunned, he had no idea what was happening and who this man that was calling himself his grandfather was. “I’ve been…” The old man’s words got stuck in his throat when his gaze fell upon Kai’s blood-covered body, his teeth gritted in anger and his expression twisted with fury. He was going to ask Kai who did this to him but he scanned the area and was immediately able to deduce that the gang members were the ones responsible for attacking Kai. He was a ball of pure anger, rage pulsed through his veins and his blood quickened with the raw anger that shot through him. There’s no way he’s going to let a bunch of thugs go after doing this to his grandson. With a wave of his hand, the old man signaled his bodyguards, who swiftly surrounded the gang members. The gang members were trembling in fear, they knew really well that they dared not resist or run away. When Jake had hired them, he didn’t tell them that Kai was the grandson of a powerful person.

Kai trembled with rage. "Damn the Benson family! I really thought they adopted me out of sincerity, but in the end..."He had given everything for them!Even after Jake returned to the family, Kai swallowed his pride and continued working tirelessly, all because the head of the Benson family—his adoptive father—had begged him to stay.It was all a lie.They didn’t keep him out of love or gratitude. They kept him under surveillance. Watching him. Watching for the mysterious family pulling the strings from behind the scenes.Kai’s whole body shook. He had never imagined the truth to be so filthy."I... I have to go back. I will make the Benson family pay for this!" His blood boiled.

Meanwhile, Jake was already frantic in the villa."Those idiots—how can they mess up something so simple!" he muttered under his breath. Fortunately, Nora had already left due to matters at the company; otherwise, she'd be shocked to see Jake like this.Wasn’t he supposed to be her gentle and refined younger brother? How could he look so twisted and malicious?Jake’s mind raced, desperately trying to find a way to fix everything. Suddenly, as his eyes swept over the decor of the house, an idea struck him."That's it—I can fake a scene where Kai comes back and assaults me. Nora always trusts me unconditionally, so no matter how Kai tries to defend himself, it'll be useless!""Plus, I can steal the valuables from the house—Nora will end up believing it was all Kai’s doing anyway!"Jake let out a wicked grin, thoroughly pleased with his plan. Looking at the mirror, he was satisfied to see the wound that Kai had inflicted on him and wincing, he rushed to the phone, pretending to be wrong

He didn’t care about any of them, all he cared about was the money they had.“It’s just—” Nora sighed, her voice trailing off as she sat on the chair that Jake had led her to, “I’m worried about the gold bracelet that the bastard stole.” She added.Jake knew the bracelet she was referring to. It was the same bracelet that he stole and sold off just so that he could get some money to pay off the loan sh

“We’re here!” Fabio said happily as soon as they got to the golf course and Kai had expected to meet more people but the course was quiet.He didn’t need a soothsayer to tell him that his grandfather owned the course and the only people on it are probably the people that maintained it.Now is the right time to spend some alone time with his grandfather and ask as many questions as possible.“What were my parents like?” Kai asked as they took turns hitting the golf ball and Fabio only smiled as memories upon memories hit him.He had avoided talking about Kai’s parents for so long but he knew that a day like this was definitely coming and he would have to talk about them.He felt like Kai must have forgotten about his real family because another effect of the potion the Benson family fed him is the long term memory loss.Traveling down memory lane, Fabio couldn’t stop talking about Kai’s father and all the things he had accomplished, he was proud of his son and daughter in-law and even

It’s way past the timeline and Nora couldn’t give Kai the antidote that the family had made mandatory for her.They were all panicking even though they all did a good job trying to act as though they weren’t really bothered about it.Everyone in the Benson family was on edge, waiting for the mysterious family to contact them so that they could lay out their proposals.The sound of the phone going off almost gave them a heart attack, their heart thumped and Nora, especially could feel terror gripping at her.Fear, stark and vivid shone in her eyes as she walked towards the burner phone with different kinds of thoughts in her head but the most dreadful of them all is watching her family die.“Hello?” She said into the phone, sweeping her fear under the rug and swallowing, holding her head up high as she acted as though everything was okay.“Nora Benson.” The robotic voice called and Nora felt her bones almost jump out of her skin, her stomach tightened into a knot and she shuddered.“Ye

“JESUS CHRIST! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!” Nora and Lila both exclaimed when they saw Jake. His eyes were so swollen that they almost looked closed.His lips were bursted and he looked so bruised and battered with his torn and bloodied clothes and face. It was obvious that even Jake wasn’t expecting the turn of events.He had been expecting them to come back with good news and Kai but instead the majority of them came back with bruises and broken bones and those who could still move ganged up on him.While he was being beaten up to stupor, others belonging to the gang joined in and when he had asked what had happened for them to be so brutal with him, they didn’t say anything.All they did was cut ties with him and as he made his way back home, no one had helped him because the gang also took his car.“Did you get in an accident? Why didn’t you call us? How did this happen?” Lila asked as they both guided their little brother to the chair.Jake was going to lie and say that Kai did it but

“I’m so sorry for the embarrassment, Mr Grant, I should have told the security never to let Gina Murphy back into the company.” Catherine apologized.“You don’t have to apologize, Catherine,” Kai said as he took a sip of his coffee, “it’s not your fault and you couldn’t have known that they were coming.” He added.Catherine felt responsible for what happened and despite what Kai had just said, she still thought that her sloppiness was what had caused Gina to come back to the company.If Gina had been the only one then she wouldn’t have gotten as mad as she was right now but she had Lila Benson with her, a member of the family that had made life hard for Kai.“That is never going to happen again.”bCatherine assured Kai who nodded with a smile as he kept on eating.When Catherine had handled the whole thing, he had almost forgotten about it.

The entire Benson family was in disarray and to protect her family, Nora had no other choice but to keep the dark truth to herself even though she was going crazy deep within her.“I need you to find him for me…..” The veins in her forehead looked like they were going to burst as her teeth gritted. All of her attempts to call for help only proved futile.It’s almost as though Kai was already invincible and the people who could actually approach and bring him to his knees are the same people that wouldn’t even help the Benson family.“What do you mean you can’t help us anymore?” Nora yelled, her grip tightened around the phone and she had gotten so close to smashing it against the wall.“WHAT?! This family has been nothing but good to you! We have helped you in times of trouble and you dare say….." the sound of the incessant beep was enough to tell Nora that she’d been hung up on.“ARGGHH!” She screamed, her voice heavy with frustration as she threw the phone on her bed and ran her fin

“Wait— A— Are you sure you heard her right?” Nora asked, panicking, her heart was palpitating and she felt like she was going to pass out as soon as Gina and her sister gave her the news.“Yes, we heard her loud and clear, she told us that we’ve been black listed and I really don’t think that after this any other company would want us.” Lila responded.She sank into the couch, her eyes were almost rolling and her head hurt as she pinched the bridge of her nose but all anger was directed to Kai.Her anger, hatred and disgust for Kai only got even higher and it was beyond control, she also couldn’t understand why Kai doesn’t seem like that.“That idiot, Kai, was with her,” she said in a low tone as her sister sat on the couch right next to her, “he had this arrogant smile and he just pisses me off.” She added through gritted teeth.“Does he look sick? Do you think he’s going to come for the antidote because, you know, he could die without it.” Nora said and Lila looked over at Gina.She

The dinner with Lord Vexmoor went too well for Kai and he was still in awe even as he got ready for the day’s job.He still couldn’t believe that he had gone to see THE LORD VEXMOOR and he had come back home on that same day, that was a luxury he didn’t think he was going to be able to afford.Taking one final look of himself in the mirror, the words of lord Vexmoor rang in his head and he wondered if this was one of the pressures he was going to have to deal with.Marriage is the last thing on his mind right now because the first thing on his mind was how to get back at the Benson family and to see the mysterious family helping them out.“Kai, son, I’ve been waiting for you for a very long time.” His grandfather’s voice jolted him out of his thoughts and he made his way out to see his grandpa waiting for him by the door.“I’m sorry, I got lost in thought for a moment there,” Kai apologized and Fabio only smiled as he admired his grandson, he was glad that he finally found him.Alread
