Revenge of the Abandoned Son CHAPTER 120
At that moment, the event hadn't started yet, and Old Connor hadn't entered the hall, so people formed small groups and chatted. Throughout his career, Kalix had known many people present today in his previous life, but in this life, they had no intersections. He didn't have many acquaintances, if there was someone he knew, it was merely a casual work relationship with greetings, no attempts to please each other. Kalix could be considered somewhat arrogant as a newcomer, but he had skills and talents that matched, so many veteran entrepreneurs didn't mind his overly formal attitude and didn't take the first step to approach him. Kalix and Eugene separated from Eugene's parents, who had more connections and needed more interaction with those people. They found a slightly secluded spot to wait, accompanying Eugene as she enjoyed some of her favorite foods. Although Kalix wasn't interested in Jane's plans and somewhat avoided Jaxson and his friends, it didn't mean the others were doin

It might be his happy smile after a few days of a super complicated mood. If it weren't for Jane, he wouldn't even want to leave his room."Is he crazy? He's just pressing one key, really a country boy who doesn't know how to play the piano, huh," one of James's friends spoke to another, although his voice wasn't loud, it wasn't quiet either and could still be heard by people nearby."He's not crazy, but he's stupid," his friend replied mockingly.However, the note didn't last long. After occasionally pressing the same key with rhythm, Kalix showed his skill by playing fast notes. The change turned the calm atmosphere into an enthusiastic one, surely classical music enthusiasts could feel it.Kalix demonstrated the agility of his

The celebration of Old Connor’s birthday continued even if some people felt dissatisfied. After Kalix took a step away from the old man’s side, the attendees took turns greeting him.Kalix returned to his seat with Eugene and enjoyed the event.“Did you manage to get Old Connor’s contact number?” Eugene asked in a low voice, almost only audible to the two of them.Kalix didn’t deny it, proudly showing the business card given to him by Old Connor.“Great!” Eugene praised him, giving him two thumbs up and smiling proudly.For a moment, Kalix didn’t know how to react to his girlfriend’s enthusiasm. But he knew he was happy because Eugene understood him. They ate and talked about simple things until halfway through the event.Old Connor was very old, he needed more rest time, including afternoon naps. So he had to return to his room earlier.

Revenge of the Abandoned Son 123. Discussion or Negotiation
In front of a gravestone inscribed with 'Kalix Owen', a woman dressed in all black sat weakly. Her pale face was filled with sorrow and regret, but no more tears flowed from her eyes. Her gaze was empty as if devoid of soul, without hope or desire to live.The wind blew beneath the overcast sky, but it didn't bother her. Her mind still wandered unclearly until the rain slowly began to fall. In the sound of the rain, her tears slowly flowed and merged with the rainwater that soaked her.Kalix couldn't see her face clearly, but he could feel her emotions. Like enveloping himself in a puddle of desperate sadness. He wondered, who could grieve her so severely?The final notes finally finished, Kalix stared at his trembling hands. Then a tear fell onto his palm, and he touched his warm face. After stabilizing his emotions, he wiped away his tears and tried to act normal.He turned to look at Old Connor, only to find that the old man's face was also flushed with teary eyes.

Revenge of the Abandoned Son 124. Crossing the Limits
The conversation between Kalix and Old Connor lasted about an hour. Kalix immediately went to the hall where the birthday celebration party was still going on, with many people still there, especially young people who enjoyed having fun and had more free time.After greeting a few people, Kalix and Eugene returned to the hotel, they didn't spend much more time mingling there because they didn't know many people. However, the Connor family focused more on business outside of Urdanica, so most of the invited guests were from abroad."Mom and dad will return to the capital tomorrow afternoon, what about you?" Eugene asked as they walked into the hotel lobby."Maybe on the same flight as you guys. My dealings with Old Connor weren't much, but it seems like I'll get a call from him tomorrow," Kalix replied.Eugene nodded, "Everything according to plan?""Yes, it should be."They didn't speak too much in detail for fear of being overheard.Returning to their respective rooms and changing cl

The next day, Kalix settled matters with Old Connor and signed a contract between them, discussing more about cooperation and such. In the afternoon, he and Celeste's family left the town together but headed to different destinations. Concerned about his mother's condition, Kalix decided to return to Oakville. "Where is mom?" Kalix asked as he arrived home and encountered the housekeeper. The housekeeper politely replied, "Sir, Madam is in her room resting." Kalix felt relieved upon hearing that and spoke a few more words with the woman before hurrying into his room and immediately communicating with the system. Kalix wanted to find out more about what Jaxson was up to now. "Is there any latest information?" Kalix asked. "Have you not read the updates online?" The system asked Kalix instead. "I have read everything. I just want to wait and see where Jaxson will take this," Kalix said helplessly, then he sat down and stared intently at the monitor screen in front of him. "It's g
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 126. Problem Solving
After calming his mother down, Kalix didn't stay idle. He searched for the misdeeds of Jaxson that had been hidden by Dominic's family. Although these things weren't significant, because Jaxson had misused his family's money and power, it would arouse people's anger.Kalix smirked wickedly when he found reports withdrawn by Jaxson's victims due to his actions of driving while intoxicated.Kalix had the system create several social media accounts and post their findings one by one. This also helped generate instant hype so that more people would become aware and join in spreading the word."This won't end simply," Kalix said upon hearing the system's report about their posts gradually catching the attention of internet users.Kalix surfed the internet with his laptop and the system's assistance, also repeatedly discussing his plans with the system. After a few hours, he found a glimmer of light regarding Jaxson's involvement in Carlos's issue.Not using that directly, Kalix chose to co

"Aunt," Lucas called out after finishing hugging his mother."Aunt is the one who saved me, Mom," he continued to explain.Eugene recognized that face. The person called aunt by her child was Jane, who suddenly disappeared seven years ago. It would be a lie if Eugene said she wasn't surprised, but her surprise wasn't something negative. She just didn't expect to meet that woman again after so long, even in such an unexpected situation.Meanwhile, Kalix was still stunned by what he saw. Lucas came with someone else, instead of the police who were tasked with finding his son. For a moment, he was almost speechless, until Jane herself greeted first."What an incredibly extraordinary coincidence, isn't it?" Jane smiled until her eyes narrowed. "I found the child on the south beach. I didn't expect him to be your son.""Yes. I was very surprised and of course, very grateful for helping Lucas meet us." Kalix smiled sincerely.Eugene also thanked Jane, but she couldn't help but scold Lucas i

"Lucas! Be careful!" The shout came from Eugene. Watching her son continue to run around in the middle of the grass field in front of their house sometimes made Eugene feel like she was on the verge of a sudden heart attack. How could she not? Her five-year-old son was very active and almost never wanted to sit still for more than a minute. Eugene could only laugh as she watched Lucas proudly show off his catch, a small insect-shaped ball with black and reddish-orange patterns. "Are you happy to get it?" his mother asked, answered by her son's enthusiastic nod. A blade of grass fell from Lucas's head. Five years had passed, and Eugene had proven herself capable of fulfilling her duties as a mother. Lucas was active and intelligent, inheriting his good looks from Kalix, but his personality, no one knew where he got it from. "Lucas," called Kalix, who had just come out of the house. He was carrying a cup of tea to give to his beloved wife. "Can't you go a day without making yo

Before Hannah contacted Kalix's number, she found her friend's phone ringing, only to discover it was from Eugene's mother-in-law. At first, she hesitated to tell the truth, fearing it might shock the middle-aged woman. However, following Mia's advice, she eventually broke the news cautiously. Then, news came from the doctor who checked Eugene's condition, and yes, the pregnancy news made everyone who heard it feel happy. Eugene felt incredulous at first, but then she felt happy. Meanwhile, Kalix was still trying to digest his wife's words. His breathing gradually calmed, but his eyes couldn't lie. "Oh, what did you say earlier?" Eugene glanced at Kalix to reassure him and laughed before answering, "I'm pregnant, Kalix. Pregnant with your child." After seeing her husband's expression, she chuckled softly—feeling amused by what she was seeing now. "You didn't expect that, did you?" At that moment, Kalix felt the heat of his anxiety dissipating, replaced by a happiness that was eve

"Eugene, are you alright?" Kalix's worried expression couldn't be hidden when he saw his wife looking pale. Eugene smiled gently. Actually, her stomach was quite upset in the morning, perhaps due to indigestion or eating something wrong. She emerged from the bathroom after vomiting her breakfast this morning. "I think I'm fine," Eugene said casually. "Shouldn't we go to the doctor just in case? I'll take you right now," Kalix suggested. Seeing how caring her husband was, her heart felt warm, but she had to refuse, "I'm okay. Besides, I already have plans with my friends today." Kalix sighed deeply, his gaze shifting to his wife's stomach. "I don't mean to stop you, but how can you go out on an empty stomach? You just vomited all your food." Actually, Eugene didn't feel very hungry, but considering the effort the man had put into preparing breakfast this morning, she felt guilty. "I'll try to eat again." It seemed Kalix didn't quite agree with Eugene's words. However, he also fel

All Kalix could see was darkness. He did not know where he was or what time it was. His mind was filled with the bloody figure of Eugene. He felt pain in his heart, regret, anger, and all sorts of emotions raging inside him one by one, making him increasingly despondent. Squatting down and hugging his knees, Kalix did not know how to release the emotions in his heart.He could not laugh, could not get angry, could not do anything. It's as if his body was made to remain silent.In that boundless darkness, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed."Hello, Host Kalix Owen!"Hearing that, Kalix immediately looked up. He remembered, there was a system that could help him, a chance for him to fix everything. Yes, he remembered, he had called upon the system, awakened the system that could assist him."System! System, are you there?!" Kalix searched around in the darkness hoping he would find the system he was looking for.In despair, he suddenly found hope.The mechanical voice of the system echo

The yard was blanketed in pure white, looking incredibly beautiful despite the cold air accompanying it.Eugene entered the room, the place where children under 5 years old from the orphanage slept."Lucas, what do you see?" Eugene asked gently as she approached the only child there.The little boy, Lucas, turned around, seeing the pretty sister who often came to take care of him and his friends in the same room."There's snow, it's beautiful," Lucas said with a sparkle in his eyes. However, realizing he could not touch the snow, the sparkle in his eyes faded.Lucas had been in poor health since he was little, which is why his movements in the orphanage were very limited.Eugene held the boy's chin, smiling softly, and then said, "Do you want to go out?"Of course, the child nodded in agreement, he really wanted to leave his room to see the snow like the other children, even if he

On both sides of the shopping building, there were many eateries.Based on internet recommendations, they decided to visit one of the restaurants nearby. As they walked towards the restaurant, Eugene suddenly remembered something."It seems like I accidentally left my watch in the watch store when I was trying on a new one earlier," Eugene said while lightly tapping her forehead."I'll go back to the store, you just wait for me at the restaurant, okay?""Okay." Eugene nodded and watched Kalix walk back towards the shopping center. Meanwhile, she stood still there and waited for Kalix instead of going into the restaurant.Kalix knew Eugene would wait for him outside the restaurant or even follow him, so he quickly walked back to the shopping center.
