Revenge of the Abandoned Son 38. The Peak of Turmoil
The commotion in the student forum intensifies as someone discreetly captures a photo of Jane waiting alone at the café until evening. Many students feel pity for her, defending her due to her sincerity toward Kalix, although Kalix remains indifferent. On the flip side, Eugene faces blame for maliciously stealing another woman's lover. In this peak of opinions, Jane emerges as a protagonist supported by many, casting Eugene and Kalix as villains, with Jaxson as the male lead. That night, Kalix laughs while reading a post but accidentally likes a comment suggesting Jane and Jaxson are a perfect match. Despite retracting the 'like,' someone screenshots it, reposts, and opens the comments for discussion. Unexpectedly, Jane responds with a lengthy post. [Friends, this isn't Kalix's fault. It's me who couldn't keep him with me, allowing someone else to take him. I've pondered why Kalix broke up with me four months ago, even refusing all my gifts. Only recently did I realize that perha
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 39. Kalix vs. Jaxson
Witnessing the shift in the forum's direction, even before he had a chance to express his concern to Eugene, infuriated Jaxson. "Kalix again," he muttered through gritted teeth. Currently in his car on the way to campus, he saw no need to conceal his anger.In the past few days, Jaxson had grown tired of hearing the name Kalix. Whether it was his parents' arguments, his mother's confessions, or Eugene's involvement, the name Kalix seemed to mark the end of his patience. He truly despised both the name and the person.Upon arriving at campus, Jaxson overheard some people discussing Kalix. Despite remaining a favorite among many students, he was dissatisfied with Kalix's newfound title.Why? Because Kalix had suddenly become a polite man, showing respect to women and avoiding exposing Jane's affair from the beginning. He also refrained from discussing the woman much when showing the video.Jaxson wanted to ignore Kalix, but everyone around him kept mentioning that name. Unconsciously,
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 40. Nick
The next morning, Kalix woke up with a familiar headache. He found himself in his room, still in last night’s clothes. Holding his very dry throat, Kalix forced himself to stand.In the living room, he saw Nick lying on the sofa. With a somewhat confused mind, he tried to remember what happened last night, it seemed they both talked so much that Kalix couldn’t recall anything.“You’re awake...” Nick’s raspy voice greeted him as he squinted at Kalix. Kalix mumbled lightly in response, “Do you want some warm water?”Nick nodded before getting up to wash his face. It was almost 11 a.m. when they fully realized and freshened up.“Aren’t you going to class?” Nick asked. “I have a morning class. What about you? Want to wait here or go for a walk alone?”Nick thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t want to stay here alone, and I don’t know much about the capital, so I don’t want to wander alone.”“So, do you want to come to my campus?”Nick chuckled lightly, conveying a meaning understood
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 41. Preparation
One week passed quickly. After having enough fun and discussing their business plans, Nick decided to return to his hometown first and better prepare himself. On the other hand, Kalix became busier preparing for the semester exams and the upcoming software engineering competition. The semester exams were scheduled for the next week, and a month later, the software engineering competition would take place. This meant they would participate in the competition just a day after returning to school. So, their time was quite tight. Those who originally came from outside the capital couldn't even go home for a vacation but spent their time on training. "Mom, I can't come home this holiday," Kalix said over the phone with Grace. Shortly after, a gentle voice from the other side was heard in Kalix's ear, calming him down. "It's okay. I know you're very busy. Instead of spending time on the journey, it's better to use that time to rest." "Mm. I'm sorry, I can't accompany you on the holid
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 42. Vacation
“Is this really done?” Carl stared at the computer screen in amazement, reviewing Kalix and Iann’s week-long work.“Is the problem truly solved? Have you really fixed all the issues?”Carl shifted his attention from the computer screen to Kalix and Iann. His eyes were filled with satisfaction, and a silly smile on his lips made him look ridiculous, but genuinely happy.Kyle, observing this, couldn’t resist a smirk. “Look at yourself, you look so foolish and silly.”“Hey, don’t call me silly!” Carl protested loudly, but it didn’t diminish his happiness today. “The fact is, I managed to bring two treasures into our group.”“Well, it’s up to you!”The commotion between Carl and Kyle was not unusual, so no one felt uneasy. Since the repairs were completed quickly, just two days after the exams ended, which meant they saved a few days, everyone was in a good mood.Kalix, who had been silent from the beginning, spoke up, saying, “So we have a few days of vacation when the holidays co
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 43. Mr. Wees Hegard’s Birthday Party
Kalix wore a navy blue suit that suited him well, although it wasn’t his first time in formal wear, he still felt a bit unsure when seeing his reflection in the mirror. It felt different as he was still in his late teens.“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?” Snyder appeared from behind, now in a black suit with the top two buttons undone. His overall appearance looked extravagant and somewhat careless, fitting the image he presented to many.Ignoring Snyder, Kalix nonchalantly replied, “No.”“Well, that’s good. Let’s go.” After saying that, Snyder turned and walked out first.It was around half-past five when they left Snyder’s house. Mr. Hegard’s birthday event took place in their family villa, a bit far from the city center, where Snyder’s house was located. Since the event started at 5 pm, they were likely to be late.Kalix didn’t care, after all, he wasn’t invited and only came along because of Snyder and the system. As predicted by Kalix, they arrived late, causing them to be scrut
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 44. Long Way Off
Almost everyone at the birthday party had no idea who Kalix was. Even Wees Hegard and his pianist friends were equally unaware of his identity.Many of them didn’t have high expectations for him. Besides his unknown name, Bradley’s piano playing could be considered the best among those in their twenties.However, observing Kalix’s sitting posture and hand positions, it didn’t look like an amateur was playing. It was not much different from a professional.Then, as the first keys were pressed and the melody followed the dance of his fingers on each key, Wees Hegard became more convinced of the man’s skill.“Do you know another young piano genius but didn’t tell us?” asked an older pianist with a big name in the country, who had been a judge in various renowned competitions.Wees showed a complicated expression on his face and regretfully answered, “Mr. Robert, I really don’t know. If he ever participated in professional competitions, I should know him.”Mr. Roberts, the one called, smi
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 45. Data Breach: Recovery Challenges
Kalix arrived at the location around 9 p.m. After thanking Snyder, he headed to their team room where Carl and Kyle were already present. The two appeared anxious in front of the computer, their expressions grim."How's the situation?" Kalix asked them both.Kyle turned towards him and shook her head, but she looked much better than Carl, who seemed nearly frustrated."The data couldn't be justified? Is it really damaged?" Kalix walked to the other side of Carl, staring at the computer screen with a furrowed brow."It's over, everything is over!" Carl exclaimed, hitting the table's edge. His eyes were reddened, seemingly on the verge of tears."Let me check it."After those words, Carl stood up and made room for Kalix.A few hours ago, Carl received a notification on his phone that someone tried to access their computer, which contained data for the upcoming 10-week competition. He had been suspicious from the start, so he decided to investigate.And his suspicions were correc

"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.

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

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

After nearly 2 hours of shopping, they decided to find a place to eat outside the shopping center. 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. Fortunately, the streets weren't too crowded with pedestrians at that time.After retrieving the watch from the store's employee, he exited t
