Chapter 3

In my past life, when I found out Solomon was my dad's illegitimate son, I wanted to tell my mom.

But I gave up the idea after my dad and Sara begged me on their knees.

My dad had cried, kneeling before me.

He said Solomon shared half of my blood, and he begged me to treat Solomon like a brother.

He confessed that marrying into the Morgan family made him feel emasculated. So, he kept a secret mistress and had an illegitimate child. He had hidden it well for years to keep my mom happy.

In the end, my heart softened, and I kept their secret.

Before my dad brought Solomon back, Solomon worked at a host club. That was where Sara met him and got hooked.

Feeling sorry for Solomon, I was the one who asked my mom to let him intern at the company. I never expected that Solomon wanted far more than just a job!

Taking advantage of my mom's one-year business trip abroad, my dad forced me to hand over my projects to build up Solomon’s resume.

He even went behind my back and told the board of directors that Solomon was the true heir of the Morgan family!

All of this was to pave the way for Solomon to marry into the wealthy Russell family.

In my past life, I let my dad and Sara pull the strings, giving up everything I owned.

But I never expected that after stealing my identity, they would orchestrate a car accident to kill me.

When my mom rushed back from abroad, the shock and grief caused her heart failure. The entire Morgan fortune fell into their hands.

Thinking about my past life, my blood boiled with hatred.

This time, I will make all of them pay!

Sweeping my gaze across the room, I locked eyes with Scott, the General Manager.

My mom had sent me to the company to learn the ropes from the bottom, but to prevent the executives from giving me special treatment, she kept my identity a secret from everyone.

Only Scott, her most trusted manager, knew who I really was.

I dragged him out of the crowd and demanded loudly,

"Scott, you are the person my mom trusts the most."

"Tell everyone right now. Am I the true heir of the Morgan Group?"

When I pulled Scott forward, Solomon's body tensed up.

Even Sara's face flickered with panic.

If my mom found out that Solomon was pretending to be me to get married, they would be utterly ruined!

Under the watchful eyes of the entire room, Scott frowned and let out a long sigh.

"Kennedy, I know Mrs. Kelly thinks highly of you, but you can't actually believe you're a Morgan."

"Apologize to Solomon right now! If you keep spreading these lies, I'll fire you myself!"

Solomon and Sara sighed in relief, and the crowd burst into whispers.

"I knew Kennedy was out of his mind! He really thought he was a big shot."

"He's just jealous of Mr. Solomon's success. A few drinks and he forgets who he is."

"Do you think he has a crush on Miss Shakira? That's why he's acting like a psycho."

Hearing the mockery, I stared coldly at Scott.

"Do you know what happens to people who betray my mom?"

Scott shivered, quickly looking away, too guilty to meet my eyes.

I sneered internally.

In truth, I already knew he had been bought off by my dad.

In my past life, when my mom received the news of my death, she was devastated.

Right at that moment, Scott ran to her with fake news—claiming the company was facing a massive scandal, the cash flow was cut off, and partners had fled with the money...

My mom couldn't handle the successive blows, which triggered her fatal heart attack.

And all of that was fabricated by Scott under my dad's orders!

I dragged him out today just to force him to expose himself so my mom could see his true colors!

Just minutes ago, I had already sent an audio recording of his previous secret meetings to my mom. She would see it very soon.

But right now, with Scott's backing, Solomon became even more arrogant. He kicked me hard in the chest and spat on the floor.

"You piece of trash, you think you can fight me? Security! Beat him up and throw him out!"

As I tried to stand up, several security guards pinned me down. Just as a fist was about to hit my face, a familiar voice boomed through the hall.

"Stop! What do you think you are doing at the company gala?!"
