In fact, it was not just everyone else. When I first learned the truth, I was just as shocked,
“That is… absolutely impossible. When we were younger, your grades were never better than mine. How can you be more successful than me now?”
When Daniel heard Miles’s words, he looked at him with clear disdain.
“If Lulu hadn’t asked me to let you win during the exams, how could you have ever won against
me?”
Daniel fixed his gaze on Miles,
“Miles, in this lifetime, you will never be able to surpass me.”
That sentence was not just a statement of fact, but it sounded more like a curse.
“I’m your brother!” Suddenly, Miles shouted, his voice roaring with emotion.
“When you killed your own mother to become an adopted son of the Westbrook Family, I didn’t think of you as a brother, but merely as a relative.”
Those words left everyone in utter shock.
Even I could not hide my surprise. So, it turned out that when the old welfare home was arranging adoptions, there was a hidden truth.
Miles had never been as innocent as he looked. Everything had been planned from the beginning. He killed his own mother just to get into the Westbrook Family.
He was only eight at the time, yet he already had the capacity to carry out such a scheme.
“Don’t talk nonsense! I could sue you for defamation!”
Although Miles swore firmly, the way his hands trembled slightly betrayed his guilt.
“Lulu, don’t believe a word Daniel says. He’s just making things up.”
“Even if Daniel is rich, he’s not right for you. I’m the one who truly suits you. Yes, I may have been framed and misled by Monica and I hurt you before, but you can hurt me back. That way, we’ll be even. We can still go back to how things were.”
His words sounded sincere, but the affection in his eyes made my stomach turn.
“I can hurt you back?”
“Yeah, right.” Hearing the interest in my tone, Miles’s eyes lit up instantly. He quickly took my hand and slapped it hard against his own cheek.
‘Punish me however you want. If it helps you calm down, I can take everything.”
“All right then.”
Suddenly, my interest was piqued.
‘My punishment won’t be so simple, though. It’s an eye for an eye. For everything you did to me before, you’ll have to pay double.”
As I said that, I ordered the bodyguard to strip all of Miles’s clothes off.
“You claimed at the bar that my earrings and clothes were all gifts from you. But take a good look at the high–end, custom–made clothes you’re wearing now and the Rolex on your wrist…

which of these wasn’t bought using the Westbrook Family’s money?”
My tone shifted coldly, and my expression turned stern.
“Not a single one. In that case, you should return all of it to me.”
I did not even give Miles the time to react. In just moments, his clothes were being stripped off one piece at a time.
The once–glorious Miles, who had always appeared so polished and impressive in public, was now left in utter disgrace.
He looked like a pathetic clown after being stripped naked.
On his finger, he still wore the ring I had personally designed and crafted for him when I was
young.
Perhaps realizing that I had noticed it, Miles desperately tried to hide the ring from view.
“No, no, anything else is fine, just not this. This is the most beautiful memory between you and me. Please, let me keep it.”
Hearing this, Daniel let out a laugh and revealed a ring on his own hand, which was far more luxurious, encrusted with fine diamonds.
“You think that’s the only one? Lulu made this one for me herself too. It’s also a memory between me and her. But now, you’re no longer worthy of wearing hers. Lulu’s special gift belongs exclusively to me.”
