A butler was standing next to the old man.

The phone's speaker was on.

So, the butler heard it.

He couldn't help but grin. This brat had a similar temper to his grandfather.

He was quite feisty!

The old man didn't come back to his senses for a long time. "Cortez, what's going on? Is there a mistake in the report?"

"No, the accuracy of DNA tests is 99.9 percent. It has been confirmed."

The old man pondered for a moment and nodded. "It seems that I have to see him."

"Mr. Kade has suffered a lot over the years, and he is your appointed heir. It is fair enough for you to visit him."

...

Kade was dizzy. Lorelai shocked him too much.

He was cuckolded.

The change was so drastic that it left him at a loss.

It turned out that women loved vanity so much.

It turned out that once a woman got heartless, she could immediately turn her back.

It turned out that she called him honey just to deceive his money to hook up with a rich guy.

In the end, he had to be ridiculed by her words which were as sharp as knives.

Was it because of his incompetency and poverty?

Kade had no choice but to accept this reality.

They could just break up in peace, yet he was ruthlessly humiliated by Lorelai, and his last bit of dignity was destroyed.

"Lorelai, don't look down on others. One day, I will make you change your impression of me!"

Kade wanted to cheer himself up in this way.

But in fact, he was deceiving himself.

When he thought of this, he was depressed like a defeated soldier.

When it came to vehicles...

How many years would he have to work to purchase a Ferrari?

What a fucking life.

...

When Kade returned to his neighborhood, he locked the e-bike.

He went upstairs.

He lived on the eighth floor with his adoptive mother and younger sister.

It was also on the top floor of the building.

The family rented the apartment for a few years. They did not rent it for the sake of the good view, but for the cheap rental.

Back then, if his mother had not insisted that they could exercise every day by climbing stairs, he would have spent more money to get an apartment on the lower floor.

At least, he would not have to bear the scorching heat of summer and the dripping waterdrop on rainy days.

He stood in front of the door.

Kade took a deep breath and put on a smiling face.

He didn't want to bring any negative emotions back home.

He looked at his watch. It was 6:30, so his sister might have returned.

He had wanted to pick her up.

However, Kade didn't want his sister's classmates to know that she had an elder brother who worked as a delivery boy. He didn't want his sister to have a sense of inferiority in front of others.

He opened the door and entered.

The door of a room was opened at the same time.

"Kade! You're back!"

A beautiful girl with a ponytail rushed out of the room.

She had thin eyebrows, bright eyes, an oval face, a high nose, and curvy lips.

This was Kade's sister, Hailey Pearson.

She was like a bird returning to its nest and threw herself into Kade's arms.

"Hmm? Where's Lorelai?"

Hailey poked her head out.

"She's busy," Kade said perfunctorily.

From now on, he didn't want to see Lorelai or even hear her name.

"Wow, new clothes! They are for Lorelai, right?"

Hailey noticed the object in Kade's hand, and a trace of envy flashed through her eyes.

She was not envious of the owners of the new clothes.

Instead, she was jealous of something else.

Kade felt sad after hearing this. If he had found out earlier that Lorelai was a gold digger, his family would not have had such a difficult life.

"No, I bought them for you. Try them on in your room and see if they fit you. If they don't, I'll exchange them tomorrow."

Kade smiled and decided to forget everything about Lorelai.

Hailey widened her bright eyes and felt both surprised and excited.

"Oh my... Kade, you must have remembered wrongly. My birthday is a few months away!"

"Do I have to buy clothes for you only on your birthday? Save your nonsense."

"Oh my, they're so expensive. You'd better get them refunded."

Seeing the price, Hailey was so shocked that she withdrew her hand. These clothes cost more than 200 dollars!

"The discount price is 75 dollars. I bought them after all. Put them on."

...

"Can I?"

"Sure."

"Wait, did you make a fortune?"

Kade was speechless.

Fortune? He wanted to make a fortune even in his dreams.

"No."

Kade felt his teeth ache.

"Kade, you are so good to me!"

Hailey giggled and kissed him on the face before Kade could react.

Then, she ran back to her room and locked the door.

This scene was seen by Kade's adoptive mother, Myla Pearson. She just came out of the kitchen with two dishes. Myla did not think much. In fact, she would rather do so.

Kade was a good guy, and it would be good news if he could become her son-in-law because he was diligent and responsible.

A smile appeared on her slightly pale face. "Don't worry about her. She will never grow up. Kade, come over and eat."

Kade replied with an "oh" and went to the kitchen to wash his hands. He returned to the table and prepared three plates of soup before sitting down.

"Sweetie, you must be hungry. Eat more."

Myla picked up a piece of meat for Kade.

"Thank you, Mom. You should eat it too."

Kade did the same to Myla.

Although the dishes were simple, the atmosphere was warm.

Hailey tried on new clothes one after another and walked around a few times.

She kept asking for their opinions.

"Kade, does it look good?"

"Mom, what do you think?"

...

In the end, she sat at the table with satisfaction.

After dinner, Kade took a shower and went back to his room to sleep.

Before he went to sleep, he called the parents of the kid he was supposed to tutor to ask for leave. He was tired and was not in the mood for the tutorial.

At six in the morning, Kade got up to wash up as usual.

Hailey just finished making breakfast.

"Kade, you haven't had breakfast yet."

"It's alright."

Kade wanted to go out early to deliver packages.

Today was Saturday, and he planned to take Hailey shopping in the evening.

He owed her too much because he had to help Lorelai. Anyway, he couldn't get the money back. It was useless to think too much.

However, Kade believed that without Lorelai as the burden, his family would be better off.

After yesterday night, Kade thought things through.

...

In the middle of the neighborhood, there were several old trees.

When the weather was good, there would be several old men sitting at the marble table under the trees to play chess. Kade was quite familiar with them.

The sharp-eyed old men saw Kade from afar.

"Kade, good morning!"

"Morning!" Kade greeted them with a smile.

However, he saw two unfamiliar old men waving their hands at him.

Kade didn't know them, but he was the only one here. They probably recognized the wrong person.

He walked to the entrance to his neighborhood.

Unexpectedly, the two old men caught up.

"Grandson!

"Grandson, wait!"

The old man in the traditional clothes strode forward, and the gold-rimmed redwood walking stick rose and fell along with his hurried steps.

The tip of the cane hit the ground, creating a bang.

"Sir, you must have mistaken me for someone else!"

Kade confirmed that the two old men were there to look for him because they were standing in front of him.

However, the name "grandson" sounded familiar to him.

He felt his temples throbbing.

He seemed to have heard of it somewhere.

The two old men stared at him with great interest.

"Tsk, tsk. Have you noticed it?"

"What do you mean?"

"He looks the same as when you were young."

"Is that so? No wonder he looks familiar. He is really my grandson."

...

The two old men commented on Kade.

Kade was dumbfounded.

Alright, he got it.

The old men probably had mental issues.

So, Kade took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Green Mountain Hospital? Did you find your patients missing?

"That's right. Two..."

Kade was a warm-hearted young man.
