The real son of the Quinn Family had returned and I, the fake son, had been kicked out.

And my wife, Aleena Lincoln, in order to be with the real son of the Quinn Family, abandoned me with our son.

Ten years later, my son came to the park and found me playing chess.

With a face full of impatience, he said, "Mom told me to come find you. Tomorrow is my sweet seventeen birthday party. Don't forget to come!"

"By the way, I heard that you know Mr. Etheridge from Ethereal Group, is that true?"

"My family's company's capital chain has been cut off recently. Can you ask him to invest sixty-eight million dollars in my company to help turn it over?"

——

In the pavilion of the park, Haghen Quinn looked at me with impatience on his face.

Anyone who was not blind could see his contempt and disdain for me.

Kyler Etheridge, who was playing chess with me, glanced at Haghen and said to me with a smile, "Your son? He's an interesting kid!"

I looked at the chessboard, made a move and casually responded, "he's been spoiled since he was a child, otherwise he and his mom wouldn't have kicked me out of the house."

"Raising a child is not an easy thing," said Kyler with a smile, "If you can't teach them well from a young age, there will be many troubles in the future."

"As soon as a child is born, he or she does not immediately become a filial child, as parents we must raise and teach them well."

I rolled my eyes and said irritably, "If you have the guts to say that to your daughter, then see if that unruly daughter of yours will tear your mouth to pieces!"

Kyler snorted and said, "That's different. My daughter is my own child. I love her so much, how could I possibly hit her!"

As soon as those words came out, Haghen became angry.

He flipped our chessboard over, pointed at Kyler's nose and yelled. "What did you say, old man? Say it again if you dare!"

If I had not blocked Kyler, Haghen would have taken action against him.

I frowned at my furious son and said calmly, "Okay, go back. I will attend your party tomorrow."

He responded to me irritably, "If it weren't for my mom asking me to come find you, I wouldn't have wanted you to appear at my party."

"Don't forget to tell Mr. Etheridge from the Ethereal Group about investing in my company. Otherwise, you won't have to attend my party tomorrow!"

Before I could respond, he gave Kyler a fierce glare and threatened. "And you, Old Man, don't let me see you again in the future, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Then, he turned around and left in anger.

Kyler picked up the chessboard and chess pieces Haghen had overturned from the ground and said to me with a calm expression, "If that kid knew that I was the big boss of the Ethereal Group, what do you think his expression would be?"

"How about I go with you to attend his sweet seventeen birthday party tomorrow! Didn't he say he would beat me up every time he sees me? Let's see if he dares to beat me in public tomorrow!"

I replied irritably, "Don't add to the chaos!"

"I won't come the gathering party tomorrow. If those bastards ask about it, just say I have important things to deal with. Don't mention that I'm going to the Quinns to come to that kid's party tomorrow!"

"Otherwise, I don't know how those bastards will laugh at me!"

After leaving the park, I returned to my villa.

In the villa, there were memorial photos for my adoptive parents.

I placed a bouquet of roses between the memorial photos for my adoptive parents, gently wiped their portraits with a cotton cloth and said in a low voice, "Mom, Dad, tomorrow is your grandson's sweet seventeen birthday party. It's a pity that you won't be able to see it!"

"You passed away suddenly before you had the chance to enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren around you. Your departure was a huge blow to me!"

"After you left, Darian kicked me out of the house and Aleena filed for divorce with me in order to be with him."

"Even Haghen hates and despises me and wants Darian to be his father!"

"I can ignore all of these."

"But I swear to find the murderer who killed you and make him pay the price."

"Over the years, I have never given up on finding the murderer and I have found some clues. Mom, Dad, please wait a little longer ...."

I was the adopted son of the Quinn Family.

Even though I was not the biological son, my father and mother cherished me a lot.

When I was in my twenties, I married Aleena.

After a year of our marriage, she gave birth to Haghen.

At that time, Darian Quinn, the real son of the Quinn Family, returned to the family.

Darian was good at disguising himself and won the favor of his parents. I also took good care of him.

After all, I thought, it was me who took his place and enjoyed the wealth and glory in the Quinn Family for more than twenty years. I owed him and wanted to make it up to him.

However, I never expected that Darian had such a vicious heart hidden under his hypocritical face.

He plotted to frame me. He secretly seduced my wife, deliberately flattered and spoiled my son and repeatedly spoke ill of me in front of my adoptive parents.

Aleena and Haghen ignored me from time to time and even began to despise me.

Fortunately, our parents saw Darian's malicious intentions and scolded him several times before he behaved himself for a period of time.

As a result, when Haghen was eight years old, our parents died in a car accident.

The driver involved in the accident had not been found yet.

As soon as our parents passed away, Darian inherited their estate. The first thing he did was to dismiss me from all positions in the Quinndom Group and drive me out of the Quinn Family's manor.

Aleena did not have the slightest hesitation and threw a divorce agreement in front of me, forcing me to leave the house.

My eight-year-old son, Haghen, even punched and kicked me, saying, "I don't want you to be my dad. I want Uncle Darian to be my dad. Get out of here!"

Darian put his arm around Aleena's waist and said to me smugly and sarcastically, "Hansel, to put it nicely, you are an adopted son of my parents. To put it bluntly, you are just a dog my parents raised!"

"What do you have to compete with me?"

Aleena snuggled in Darian's arms and said to me with disdain, "I married you not because of you, but because you are the heir of the Quinns!"

"Since the real heir of the Quinns has returned, as the adopted son of the Quinns, what qualifications do you have to accompany me till old age?"

The vows of love we were made in the past became a complete joke at that time.

It was also from that time, my heart completely died for the mother and son.

I left the Quinn Family with nothing, like a lost dog.

I felt I had already despaired of the world.

I sat by the river the whole night. I had several impulses in my heart to plunge into the surging river, but the voices and smiles of my adoptive parents kept appearing in my mind.

The driver who caused their death had not been found yet and I had not repaid them yet for raising me. How could I give up on myself and seek death?

When I was about to cheer myself up and leave the riverbank, an old man came over from not far away and said to me with a smile, "If you really jump down from here, it will disappoint me so much."

"I've been watching over you the whole night. Come on, I'll take you to have some breakfast and then we can have a good chat."

This old man was my close friend later on, Kyler Etheridge, the big boss of the Ethereal Group.

He has been following me ever since I was kicked out of the Quinn Family.

In his words, he was very optimistic about my abilities and wanted me to join the senior management team of Ethereal Group.

I refused.

I said, "I want to try and see if I can make a name for myself after leaving the Quinns with my own abilities."

Kyler favored me even more. With his help, I plunged into the financial industry. With my own abilities and hard work, I gradually broke into the ranks of the bigwigs behind the scenes.

Kyler and I became close friends regardless of age difference and he introduced me into the top gathering circle in the business world, which was full of top bosses from various industries.

Ten years had passed in a blink of an eye.

Looking back, the Quinn Family, which was once so huge to me, was really not worth mentioning in front of me now.

I never thought about taking revenge on Aleena and Haghen, mother and son. The only thing I could not let go of was the car accident that happened to my adoptive parents.

Over the years, I had hired many private detectives and mobilized a lot of connections to investigate the details of the car accident that my adoptive parents had.

The few days ago, I finally got some clues.

I took out my mobile phone and looked at a photo on it.

It was a photo of Darian and Aleena’s wedding.

Ten years ago, after I was kicked out of the Quinn Family's manor, the two of them got married.

Haghen, dressed a boy's suit and stood beside them and the family of three had sweet and happy smiles.

This photo was sent to me by Darian on purpose to provoke me.

I murmured. "Is it you? Or is it her?"

"We should know the answer tomorrow!"

"No matter who killed my parents, I will make that murderer pay a heavy price!"

I have said that whoever killed their foster parents, I will make that murderer pay a heavy price

On the day of Haghen's 17th birthday party, the Quinn Family was very lively.

Ten years had passed in a blink of an eye, but there had not been much change in the Quinn Family's manor.

Of course, these were just appearances.

Over the years, under the leadership of Darian, the Quinn Family's company, Quinndom Group, had been on the decline.

If the Quinndom Group failed to raise funds this time, they might have to mortgage and sell the old house to ease the financial pressure on the company.

Many guests came to the Qin family. The moment they saw me here, many of them showed strange expressions.

"Why is Hansel here?"

"Nonsense, today is his son's sweet seventeen birthday party, how can he not come?"

"That's a bit ridiculous. Everyone knows that Hansel was kicked out of the house. Moreover, Aleena divorced him and even his son didn't recognize him. He came here at this time, could he be here to mess things up?"

"Since he was kicked out of the Quinns' manor, I haven't heard any news about him. I don't know what he has been busy with these years."

"I heard that he seems to know Mr. Etheridge from the Ethereal Group. The Quinns invited him to attend the birthday party. It seems that they want to leverage his friendship with Mr. Etheridge to establish a connection between the Quinns and Mr. Etheridge."

"What you said is even more nonsense. Mr. Etheridge is the big boss of the Ethereal Group? How could Hansel have a relationship with him?"

In recents years, after I got into the financial industry, I had been working behind the scenes. Apart from the bigwigs in the top community, few people knew that I was the emerging financial tycoon in recent years.
