Chapter 1

Ryan Smith glanced at me sideways and haughtily handed the card to the teacher.Someone immediately gasped. "That's an exclusive black Centurion card. You need verified assets of more than one hundred million dollars to qualify for one!""Goodness… To think Jack Smith's family is this wealthy!"Ryan clearly enjoyed everyone's praise and did not attempt to hide his arrogance. Then, he gave Lily a look that held both contempt and pity. "Blame your parents for not having five hundred thousand dollars, little girl. No matter how hard poor people like you work, you'll only ever be stepping stones for people like us."Lily's face flushed red as she shouted angrily, "This isn't fair! I came in first!"She had loved artificial intelligence since she was little and had spent three full years preparing for this competition. The chance to receive advanced training was everything she had dreamed of.The surrounding parents began talking over one another, and someone even sighed."This is fa

After Ryan ended the call with Claire, his pride returned. "Don't worry, Jack. No one is taking this award from you today. It belongs only to you."Then, he gave me a provoking look.I simply sneered.A moment earlier, Ryan and Claire had openly put their affection on display over the phone. They spoke so intimately that everyone around them felt embarrassed.My phone soon rang, and Claire could be heard barking at me the moment I answered. "Irvine, what's wrong with the card you gave me?! Call the bank and unlock it now! Then, raise the limit to five million dollars."I remained calm instead. "What do you need that much money for?""Business negotiations and client entertainment, naturally. Stop asking questions and just do it!"I lowered my eyes, hiding the icy fury in them. I had controlled the company from behind the scenes for more than a decade. Everyone who knew me understood what that look meant. Someone was about to lose everything.How ridiculous. A woman who owed eve

Everyone stared at me with wide eyes, their disbelief plain to see after they heard what I said."Has Lily's father gone crazy? Does he really have two million dollars?"Ryan gritted his teeth. "Empty words won't help you..."But before he could finish, a chime sounded, followed by the automated announcement. "You have received two million dollars."My smile widened. "I certainly don't mind contributing more to education. Do you want to increase your donation again? I'll keep going as long as you do!""My goodness… Lily's family isn't some ordinary family at all! I never would have guessed!"The teacher wiped the sweat from her forehead again. Still, she simply turned to Ryan, barely suppressing the joy and excitement on her face. "Do you want to increase your donation?"Ryan's cold expression gradually darkened. He pulled out his phone and called Claire again. Before long, his smugness returned. He deliberately unfolded his tri-fold smartphone and casually made sure everyone sa

I remained perfectly calm on the surface with the faintest hint of a smile on my face as I listened to Ryan's sneers. "Is that so?"Claire stepped out of the car in an elegant, expensive outfit and hurried straight toward Ryan and Jack. She never noticed Lily and me standing only about ten feet away.The moment she saw Jack crying over his bloody knee, anger flashed across her face. "Who did this? Don't they know Jack is my son? Who wants to die so badly?!"Ryan gritted his teeth and said, "Honey, it was him! You have to make him pay for what he did to us!"Claire followed Ryan's pointing finger. Her dark expression was about to erupt, but she froze in shock the moment she saw me. I met her eyes with a meaningful smile and walked toward her at an unhurried pace with Lily beside me.Ryan grew impatient when Claire did nothing. "Claire, that's them."His supporters joined in."That shameless father and daughter bullied your son, Ms. Claire. They refused to apologize and acted incr

Claire studied my face for a moment, then smiled strangely. She moved her lips without making a sound and said, "This is your punishment for defying me!"Then, she ignored Lily, who was watching her hopefully, and took Ryan and Jack by their hands. She smiled at the crowd and said, "This is my husband, and this is my son. As for those other people, they're nobody but shameless schemers with ulterior motives. They're making a lot of noise, but it's all a bluff!"Lily froze. Then, she shouted with an expression full of pain, "Mom, how can you say that about Dad?! How can you say we're no one to you?!"Jack looked at Lily with contempt. "Lily, how can you be so shameless? My mother already explained everything, and you still have the nerve to claim you're related to her!"For once, I was actually furious. I pointed at Claire and cursed, "Claire, you ungrateful wretch!""He's still acting that arrogant. Claire and her husband are being far too merciful. A beating would teach him a les

Chapter 6

Claire glared at me in fury while Ryan looked utterly stunned. He asked, "Claire, didn't you say you held all the power and were the real head of Oceanic Group?"Before I could answer, my special assistant laughed. "Her? She's only our chairman's puppet. But it seems like the puppet has forgotten her own place."I placed my foot on Claire's face and slowly forced it down. "Claire, I gave you the position of general manager and more than ten million dollars in assets. You wanted to live off me while acting as though you were in charge, but you should have considered whether I would allow it! You took a lover behind my back and publicly slandered Lily and me, so you should be prepared for my retribution."Claire showed an expression of pain and fury beneath my shoe.Meanwhile, Ryan looked devastated as he had already accepted the truth. After a moment, he cursed me again. "Irvine, does having power give you the right to bully us? Everyone, judge this for yourselves. Look at the true

Chapter 7

Claire held my leg tightly. "Irvine, you're right. I messed up. I'll never do it again. Please forgive me this time! I promise I'll never betray you again!"I kicked her away without hesitation. "In your dreams!"Claire moved toward Lily and tried to take her hand, but Lily forcefully pulled away.Claire pleaded through her tears. "Honey, I'm your mother! Even if I made a small mistake, I'm still your mother! Please talk to your father for me. I've admitted I made a mistake! Ask him to forgive me!"Lily looked at her coldly. "Claire, why didn't you answer when I called you 'Mom' earlier? Why did you let Dad and me be humiliated? I decided then that Dad would be the only parent I have for the rest of my life. I don't have a mom anymore."Claire froze. Her lips moved as though she wanted to say something else, but when she saw Lily's determination, she turned to her own mother. "Mom, please talk to Irvine for me. I truly know what I did was wrong now!"Her mother looked deeply disa
