Vireo tossed and turned in bed, so Isadora was not able to fall asleep as well. Isadora leaned on his shoulder and asked him softly, "What's the matter, Holden? Are you still worried? Don't worry. Both Sabrina and Mister Ford are the ones who had set this up. The setup this time is done on a very large scale, so the Payne family will no longer be able to make a comeback. They'll never be able to make a comeback. Everybody in the Payne family may rot in prison."Isadora did not like the Payne family one bit. After she heard Vireo retold his own experience, Isadora has been thinking of having the entire Payne family killed at all times! They were too detestable! She looked at Vireo. "Holden, I can help you. I'm not a good person anyway!"Vireo immediately put Isadora in his arms and covered her lips. "You're not allowed to talk about yourself like this. You're a good girl. You should be enjoying your happiness for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"Isadora gently nodded. "Mm-h
"Did they say anything?" Vireo calmly asked.On the other end, the guard said reluctantly, "The old couple kept going on and on that you're their son, you're their son, they were the ones who had raised you and they ask you to have a heart. In the end, they kept going on and on about wanting to meet you once. As long as you're willing to meet them, they will reveal everything they know."Vireo could not help but laugh.That was the kind of people his adoptive parents were. He actually had already decided to not press charges against them. However, as expected of his adoptive parents, even after they had been imprisoned, they still did not forget to emotionally blackmail him. The last bit of compassion Vireo had for his adoptive parents was gone as well. All that was left in his heart was sadness and misery. However, even if he no longer felt compassionate for his adoptive parents, Vireo still had the tolerance that he should have. "Alright, I will be here in two hours."Since they
"We're the ones who are not acknowledging you! Even if you were to shout to let us out, we will still not acknowledge you! You're simply not our son! We are not related by blood!"Lucius originally wanted to play hard to get in exchange for his son's conscience, as well as the respect that his son was getting from the people outside. After all, it was a fact that they had raised Vireo. At that moment when they saw their son coming to set them free, they knew that he had gone soft. Therefore, they had nothing to lose and they were fearless.After he was done scolding Vireo and venting his anger, Lucius looked at Vireo from the corner of his eyes. He was thinking that immediately after that, Vireo would certainly kneel before him and his wife and beg for their forgiveness. It was a fact that they had raised him. If someone did not even acknowledge the people who had raised him, then how could that person gain a foothold in society, and how could he gain a foothold in the hospital? Howe
"S-Son.." Lucius stuttered."I am not your son." Vireo's tone was still very calm.At that moment, Lucius' wife had also arrived in front of Vireo. She also looked eagerly at Vireo. Originally, she also wanted to call out her son just like Lucius did, but before she was able to do so, she was interrupted by Vireo.Vireo sighed. "There's actually only one reason I came here today, submitted an entire day's worth of paperwork, and handed assurance letters to all the departments, which is that both of you are already very old. If I were to take a million steps back, I still owe it to you for raising me. Therefore, this is considered the last thing I'm going for you. As for the things that you said, we are indeed not related by blood, and I am not your son. Even if you didn't say that to me, I will also tell you that today."Now, both of you, please listen carefully. I am Holden Payne! I am the son of Sean Ford, who was the former director of the Ford family in South City. I am not you
Vireo smiled miserably. "Also, ever since I could remember when I was about seven years old, I had to cook for myself. Whenever the family has any good food, it's all for my three sisters. There was never any for me. My sisters will have money for breakfast every morning when we go to school, but not me. The feeling of hunger was unbearable, so what could I do? I had to get up very early to cook for myself in the kitchen. Even so, grandma would still beat me up with her walking stick as she said I was wasting the gas. If I were your son, and if you had cared for me even a little, would you have let your son go without food in the morning?He continued. "When I was eight, and I was only in second grade, you sent me to a cannery at the south border of our county during the two months of my summer break. You let me, an eight-year-old child, work for them and wash the cans. At that time, washing a can will only earn me a single penny. I was only able to make thirty cents after washing thi
Lucius and his wife were really unable to answer him. Both of their faces turned red and then turned white. When their faces were red, they were as red as blood. When their faces turned pale, they were as white as sheets.Vireo raised his head and looked at the sky, and then he continuously sneered. Only then did he say again, "When I was almost finishing high school and was about to go to college, you didn't allow me to apply for college. You were afraid that I would leave and never return after getting into college. It was at that time that I finally understood everything. I was not your biological son. You only had one purpose for buying me—to let me take care of all of you until the day you die. Because in our county, a family would be deemed as a family with no heir if there were no sons in the family. A family without an heir was considered to be inferior to others in status."All of you did not mean to care for a child that you had bought. Not only could you not invest in this
"You had never spent much money raising this child since his childhood. You had not spent any money supporting his education. However, you were able to get a lifetime of inexhaustible wealth from him. Not only that, but all of you, the four elderly people, also would be well taken care of for the rest of your lives. Not only will you benefit from him, but even your three daughters will also be able to squander his inexhaustible wealth. Is that not it?"Vireo had never spoken to his parents so frankly about all that before this. However, at that moment, since he wanted to completely cut all ties with them and never be involved with them anymore, he had to tell them everything!"Originally, I could ignore all of these. Since I, Vireo Payne, am the Payne family's child, I didn't intend to pursue the matters anymore. There's something very good about me. I am very optimistic. As long as the world could give me a little smile, I will be able to beam like the sun. Later on, I got together
Vireo was not surprised at all. He already knew that they were already at a dead end. He turned his head around, laughed coldly, and said, "You're already at a dead end, so you came to South City to ask me for help. However, you still didn't forget to make trouble for me! You were either accusing the people by my side as scammers or saying that I am an ungrateful jerk. But, how were you planning to set me up behind my back? You wanted to not let me get married because you're afraid that I will have children. That way, all of my fortunes and my house in South City would be yours. Not just you, but even your daughter's children would be able to move to South City because of my position in South City. You simply wanted to leech off everything from him until I am bone dry, isn't it? Am I not the unluckiest adopted son in this world to have such adoptive parents like you? Since I have solid evidence proving that you're not my biological parents, and you can't produce the adoption papers, th
