Chapter 9
Hello, everyone. My name is Bruce Reade. I am Zona Reade’s brother and also Mike Francis’s brother–in–law, the Vice president of Honor Group.”
T’d like to set the record straight. Snow Francis is actually Mike Francis’s illegitimate daughter. My sister, Zona Reade, was Mike Francis’s first love. After Mike married, they had an affair, which resulted in Snow’s birth.”
“This is Snow’s birth certificate. Everything she’s told you about her so–called parents is a fabrication by Mike Francis!”
The man in the video was Snow’s real uncle.
This had been uncovered by my grandfather, who had bought this man off after he had lost a great deal of money gambling.
As soon as the video played, the room erupted into chaos.
Snow collapsed on the floor, staring blankly ahead.
David Gus, in a fit of rage, destroyed the entire wedding venue. The Gus family, humiliated, quickly left. Even Mr. Gus was so enraged he had to be taken to the hospital.
The room was in total disarray, with Gus family members shouting about how they had been wronged.
Mike Francis, on the other hand, was cradling Snow in his arms, crying. But it wasn’t out of sorrow–he knew their good days were over.
After this scandal, Mike Francis, like Snow, was stripped of his position in Honor Group. They became pariahs, dismissed from the company on the spot.
As for me, I wasn’t idle. I filed a lawsuit, accusing both of them of embezzling my finances and Mike Francis of stealing my mother’s inheritance.
There were also numerous instances where Mike Francis used his position to help Snow, and the corruption.
involved was clear.
Even if they didn’t serve long sentences, they would still be punished. I refused to settle.
Mike Francis continued to come to my grandfather, crying, hoping I’d forgive him for the sake of family ties.
“You know, I had a dream once, in which you and Snow were successful. You and David Gus took over Honor Group, and I was left on the streets with your grandfather. You forced me to marry some old man I didn’t know.”
The last time I looked at him coldly.
“Now I understand. If I show any mercy, that’s exactly what will happen to me.”

Therefore, you’d better be careful.”
I shook my head, no longer willing to deal with my father.
Perhaps this would be the last time I ever called him “father.” I had no intention of seeing him again.
And as it turned out, I never did.
He had once called me his goddaughter, but now, in front of everyone, he left that out.
As for Snow, she was released after two days in custody.
But soon after, she was pursued by the Gus family and ultimately met a tragic end on the streets.
Rumor has it that it was David Gus who ordered the hit.
But who could ever know for sure?
In this world, accidents happen all the time, and some man–made “accidents” are nearly impossible to trace.
After this, I traveled the world, leaving the past behind.
During my travels, I made many new friends, but one boy in particular left a lasting impression on me.
He saved my life when I lost control during a skydiving accident.
After that, we traveled together for a month.
Though it was only a month, we developed a connection that felt like we had known each other for ten years.
One day, he disappeared without a word. I was heartbroken, almost as if I had been dumped.
A year later, when I returned to take over the family business, there were many people from R City’s high society at my welcome party.
Among them, a familiar figure appeared–the boy I had traveled with.
“Mr. Norris, did you enjoy your year of travel?”
He grinned at me.
I simply stared at him, then gave him a big hug.
He hugged me back, his voice soft.
This time, I won’t disappear. I’ve built my company up well, and I hope we can be together on equal footing from
now on.”
I pushed him away gently.
Who said I want to be with you?”

I won’t give up. Wait for me!”
He said earnestly, looking into my eyes.
I smiled, because I knew he would keep his word.
And I would wait for him.
