MasukTo help my younger sister, Emily Lambert, recover from her asthma, I went out of my way to buy a private island known for its pristine air. However, on the very day she arrived, someone kicked her so hard that they broke her ribs, and she called me crying. "Arthur, they're saying this island belongs to someone else! They're going to throw me into the ocean." Through the phone, I heard the island manager's harsh voice. "This island is a gift from Ms. Wynter to her boyfriend! Who do you think you are? You're just a trash picker, and you think you can just show up here?" Suddenly, everything clicked. My wife, Cassie Wynter, had a boy toy on the side, and he was now trying to take over the island meant for Emily's recovery. Well, that score needed to be settled. Cassie and I had been married for two years. In that time, she had transformed from a nobody in a third-rate family to a powerful CEO controlling the luxury goods market. Everyone said she had a gift for business, that she had the Midas touch. However, no one knew the truth: the exclusive royal supplier connections she wielded were resources I had risked my life for in the United Zahara. I dialed the Zaharan Royal Family. "Prince Khalid, it's time you repaid the favor you owe me."

Every day, he has to wash laundry for 100 inmates, clean the toilets, and perform various tricks in exchange for food.""Because of his looks, he's quite 'popular' with certain inmates who have particular preferences. Apparently, he's already had a mental breakdown and spends all day crying and calling for Cassie. Prince Khalid wanted to know if you'd like to put him out of his misery?"I shook my head. "No need. Let him live. Let him properly enjoy his life."Some debts could never be repaid by death alone. I wanted him alive, day after day, year after year, paying the price for his past cruelty.Harris understood what I meant, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.Life on the island returned to peace once more. I took most of the assets from selling off the Wynter Group. I established a charitable foundation in my parents' and Emily's n
"No, you're lying! You're lying to me!" Cassie screamed, lunging at the phone to smash it.The female guards held her down firmly."Whether I'm lying or not, you know the truth yourself," I said as I pocketed my phone and turned to leave."Arthur, stop right there! Kill me! Just kill me now!" she shrieked hysterically behind me.For someone as proud as she was, being betrayed by her own family and reduced to a disposable pawn hurt far more than death ever could.I did not turn back. Killing her would be too easy.I wanted her to live, to stay conscious. I wanted her to watch as I avenged my parents, and as the Wynter family crumbled completely before her eyes.I wanted her to spend the rest of her life drowning in regret and despair.When I reached the door, I paused without turning around. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Brandon's been charged with multiple crimes. He attempted to escape from custody, so he's been extradited to United Zahara. Prince Khalid says he really appreciate
My hand gripping the teacup suddenly tightened. Scalding tea splashed onto the back of my hand, but I felt nothing.Cassie watched my reaction, a flash of triumphant satisfaction crossing her eyes. She said, "20 years ago, your father, Richard Lambert, was Haven City's most famous genius designer, and my father, Bobby Wynter, was just his assistant. Your father was incredibly talented and designed a revolutionary piece of jewelry called Eternal Heart that caught the Zaharan Royal Family's attention." "They were prepared to buy the exclusive rights for an astronomical price. My father was jealous of your father's talent, so he pulled some strings behind the scenes. He stole the design, registered the patent first, and then accused your father of plagiarism.""Your father's reputation was destroyed overnight. He was blacklisted from the industry and saddled with massive penalty fees. Your mother was pregnant with your sister at the time and couldn't handle the shock, and she hemorrha
Three days later, Emily finally pulled through and was moved out of the ICU into a regular hospital room. Though her body was still very weak, her consciousness returned.When she saw me, tears welled up in her clear eyes. She gripped my hand tightly, her lips moving but unable to form words.I tucked the blanket around her. "Emily, it's okay. It's all over now. Just focus on recovering, and I'll handle everything else."Emily nodded, still looking exhausted.Just then, there was a knock on the hospital room door. Harris walked in, his expression somewhat strange."Mr. Lambert, Cassie wants to see you. She's on a hunger strike in detention, all just to see you once."I frowned slightly. "No.""She says," Harris paused, "she says she knows a secret about your parents, and if you don't see her, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."My heart sank heavily. My parents were the deepest wound in my heart. Emily and I grew up in an orphanage, with no memory of our parents. I tri
