Chapter 1

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!"
