Rachel's parents glared at the document without blinking. Unconsciously their mouths were grinning lustfully.Rachel's mother reached out her hand to grab the document. "Let me see it for a moment, Shawn."However, Shawn quickly pulled her away to keep the document in his hand. The grins of Rachel's mother, Verena and her father, Rico Doves, instantly faded. They glanced sharply at Shawn. To avoid embarrassment, they took a step back.Shawn saw that the name of the company was Compact Corp. Of course it was a name he recognized. A name that no one could possibly not know.Shawn did not expect that a multinational company like this would be given to him. For a moment Shawn froze, thinking that none of this was real. Even Rachel froze when she saw the name of the company on the document. Shawn's reaction made Lord Darius chuckle. "Why are you so surprised, Shawn?"Shawn gulped. He then glanced at Lord Darius. The old man just smiled like he was carefree. Shawn didn't know why he had co
"Isn't this weird?" Rachel said as she unwrapped the bandage that was wrapped around Shawn's hand. She glanced at Shawn in surprise with her round eyes.Shawn himself became confused at being looked at like that by Rachel. Usually Rachel looked at him with a stern and fierce gaze, but now that gaze was very round and also slightly plumped her lips. A cute gesture that Shawn almost never saw.Shawn raised his eyebrows. "What's weird, Rachel?"Rachel then touched Shawn's arm. Shawn could feel the warmth and softness of Rachel's skin. It was rare to have this kind of physical contact between them.Rachel exhaled. "You got a puncture wound on this arm. It pierced and scraped your skin and tore your flesh. Isn't it strange that it closed in just a few days?"Shawn gulped, he also didn't know what happened to his body that he had the ability to heal faster than other humans. As far as he was concerned, the only thing he could conclude was that his body's ability to regenerate faster was due
Everyone in the room didn't know what was going on as they looked at each other in confusion and Shawn even frowned as he glanced at Rachel. Rachel shrugged her shoulders because she didn't know what was going on either. Meanwhile, Lord Darius continued to cry while hugging Shawn tightly and did not want to let go as if he did not want to lose Shawn's touch.Lord Darius said with a sob. "Finally...finally...I can see you again... it's been so long since you left..."Shawn was getting confused. He felt the strength of the Lord hugging him. He could only return the hug while patting his back. "I'm not going anywhere, Lord Darius. After all, we just met yesterday."Lord Darius shook his head which made everyone even more clueless about this incident.Rachel wrinkled her forehead. "Lord Darius, you suddenly came into the house and acted like this. Did Shawn do something to you?"Rachel was a little suspicious, it was possible that Shawn had done something again to someone else.Shawn gla
Shawn gaped at that. "You're lying, aren't you?"Shawn's eyes fluttered as he asked. What should Shawn do? During the time he lived with his foster family, Shawn hardly ever felt the warmth of family. When he was little he was often bullied by Ryan and his friends, when he grew up he was always blackmailed by his adoptive mother. Everything was so hard for Shawn to go through until he finally met Rachel and got a system in his life. With the system, at least Shawn can get a better life even though he doesn't get the warmth of family.As for this one, suddenly someone came to Shawn and said that he was Shawn's family, of course Shawn didn't know how to respond to this. Shawn looked into the old man's eyes. Their eyes met and he could see how the old man's eyes glazed over as he looked at Shawn. There was a deep longing there, to the point that Shawn felt the coldness of loneliness creeping into his heart.Lord Darius smiled. "I did not lie, you are my grandson, Shawn."The warm words
"I hope you come to a decision soon, Shawn." Lord Darius smiled as he looked back. Then he and Alex stepped through the exit. Shawn continued to watch his grandfather's departure with mixed feelings.The sound of a car rumbled away from Shawn's porch towards the gate outside. The old man was completely gone from Shawn's house, leaving Shawn with his heart still pounding and racing. He felt that everything that was happening was unreal.Shawn closed the door and turned around. His steps stopped immediately when he saw Rachel in front of him. She looked directly into Shawn's eyes with her eyebrows arched downwards. "I didn't expect..."A little dazed, Shawn looked at the beautiful woman without giving any response. Shawn was pensive as he continued to stand there.Rachel tilted her head slightly. "You're really surprising. I didn't expect that my ugly, tacky, and poor husband would turn out to be someone with a great background. I really didn't expect it at all. Is this a stroke of luck
"Give me another round." Shawn thrust a small glass in front of the bartender.The bartender took the glass and poured some alcohol into it. Then he handed it back to Shawn.Shawn picked up the glass and looked at his reflection in the glass. He smiled slightly. "Look at this fool's face... always being played by fate..."Then Shawn drank the entire contents of the glass. He endured the bitter-sweet taste of the alcohol. Although Shawn was not the type of person who would get drunk, all the unexpected things were too much for him to process in his head.For now, Shawn just wanted to be alone and forget everything for a while. Shawn was picked up by a family that didn't love him and suddenly someone claimed to be his grandfather. Shawn's feelings became chaotic.Shawn put the glass on the table. When the banging sound was heard by Shawn, the system notification sound and screen appeared.[Ding!][Warning! Your body will get drunk if you keep drinking alcohol.][Tolerance to alcohol beg
It was already dark outside. Shawn didn't expect that he would spend so long outside that the sun had already disappeared. The doubt inside him pushed him to not be productive today and just drink alcohol."What an idiot..." Shawn said to himself. He was being lazy today.In the darkness, Shawn's lonely steps sounded loud. It was completely deserted with no one in the underground parking lot. His body began to not feel the cold of the night as the alcohol he drank seemed to emit a warm glow from his body.Shawn took his car keys and was about to open the car door. As it turned out, behind him were several people who were watching him silently. They were grinning, showing their teeth and bulging eyes.They slowly approached. One of them was carrying a large wooden block. When they were right behind Shawn, the person carrying the log swung the log straight at Shawn's head. Fortunately, Shawn could see the swing through the reflection of his car, so he was able to dodge the attack.The
Two middle-aged couples walked quickly to the emergency room. Their faces were tense and covered in cold sweat because they were afraid of what had happened. They were wearing glamorous clothes and some jewelry, they were certainly not poor.They then hurriedly entered the same room. The woman wearing a white fur jacket and white gold earrings shouted in a shrill voice. "Where is my son? Where is Josh?"A nurse approached them. "Sorry, ma'am. You can't yell in the hospital. There are many patients who need to rest."The woman wearing a white fur jacket pushed the nurse. "You're so noisy! Don't you know who I am? My son is injured here!"She yelled back. Then she heard a whimper from Josh. "Mom! I'm here!"They immediately ran over there. One pair went to Josh and the other to Kane. They all had their eyes wide open and the women had tears in their eyes.Josh's mother tried to hug her son. "My son, what happened to you? Your body is full of bandages and gypsum!"Josh struggled. "Aw! Aw
