    Emmett’s statement confused rence.


    Emmett smiled at him. “Maybe your ambition will be infinitely erged as you resist, and in the end, you may change your mind and want to inherit the consortium after all.


    “Master has put in a lot of thought into how to inspire your ambitions, Young Master!


    “At the same time, he has given the other heirs a chance to inherit the consortium if they can bring you down fairly.


    “But you’d die in the process, Young Master.”


    rence froze.


    ‘I’ll die if I don’t take the inheritance?


    ‘And all I can do is resist?


    ‘What the hell?!


    Isn’t he just forcing me to resist?


    ‘What kind of father is he? He’s managed to dig a hole for my grave even after his death.’


    rence thought he might as well have been an orphan. There would not have been so much trouble that way. “In other words, I’m going to have a lot of trouble starting from tomorrow.


    “And they’lle one after the other?”


    “That’s what it means.” Emmett beamed at rence. “As you rise in power, rank, and status, the trouble will only intensify.


    “It wille until you’re destroyed and you disappear from the world.


    “Or until you’re strong enough to take over the consortium!”


    rence’s mouth twitched. “You’re just forcing me to get stronger.


    “Those who want to inherit the consortium are going to keeping at me. I’ll die if I fail to resist them. My dad was ruthless. He could do this to his own son. No wonder he was able to be the owner of the world’s top consortium.”


    rence smiled ruefully. “I’ll inherit it, alright?”


    Emmett shook his head. “Young Master, I’m afraid that won’t work.


    “These people began taking action when you and Miranda got divorced, so you have to confront them now.”


    rence frowned. “What does Miranda have to do with this?”


    Emmett frowned and hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, “It’s a littleplicated. Young Master, haven’t you thought about it? Why Remus Murphy moved to Mediterranean City instead of staying in Beth City in his old age?”


    The Murphy family in Mediterranean City was a subdivision of the Murphy family in Beth City, and Remus was the patriarch of the Murphy family in Beth City.


    Armstrong was one of Remus’ bastards. After acknowledging his biological family, Armstrong returned to Beth City and met Peony.


    The two then got married, but because Remus’ wife did not approve of Armstrong’s involvement in the Murphy family of Beth City, she gave Armstrong five billion for him to develop a career in Mediterranean City.


    Though Armstrong was said to have been told to develop a career there, he had actually been sent away.


    Mediterranean City was a metropolis, but it was like the countryside whenpared to Beth City.


    Armstrong hade to Mediterranean City with five billion and enthusiastically started a real estatepany. Unfortunately, it had been poorly managed, and the five billion dors of capital were soon reduced to two billion dors.


    Since then, Armstrong had be disheartened and henpecked.


    In hister years, Remus unloaded his burdens in Beth City and passed the patriarch title unto his own son.


    Surprisingly, instead of retiring in Beth City, Remus moved to Mediterranean City and lived with his bastard—Armstrong.


    Everyone thought Remus had left Beth City for two reasons.


    Firstly, he was afraid that his son would control his actions if he stayed in Beth City.


    Secondly, he felt sorry for his bastard, Armstrong, and hoped to be able to make it up to him now that Remus had grown old.


    ‘Did it have nothing to do with those reasons? Was it because of Miranda instead?’


    “Did it... have something to do with Miranda?” rence was slightly hesitant.


    “Of course it does.” Emmett was solemn. “Half of the reason Remus came to Mediterranean City was because of Miranda.


    “And the other half of the reason was you, Young Master!


    “As for Armstrong...


    “Young Master, do you think an ambitious and ruthless creature like Remus woulde to Mediterranean City in theirter years to make up for a bastard?”


    rence looked stunned. “He came for Miranda and me?


    “What do you mean?”


    Emmett’s face darkened slightly. “Young Master, we’ve been looking for you for nearly twenty years without sess.


    “Remus found you before we did and made you marry Miranda.


    “Once you married Miranda and revealed your true identity, the Murphy family would gain quick sess. Need I exin the benefits the Murphy family would get from being rted to the world’s top consortium?”


    rence did not know whether tough or cry. “So when I joined the Murphy family, I wasn’t the one who didn’t deserve them, it was the other way around?”


    “Of course.”


    Emmett nodded matter-of-factly, looking solemn. “That old creature Remus took advantage of our consortium’s rules.


    “If the heir got married, the marriage had tost three years before they could inherit the consortium.


    “Remus probably thought that since you’d be with the Murphy family for three years, you’d help the Murphy family for old times’ sake.”


    “Unfortunately, Remus didn’t expect my rtionship with Miranda to be so rocky. He yed his cards badly.” renceughed at himself. “Why else would they say that God’s ns supersede our own? You can’t force love.


    “The way Peony treated me… She called me an orphan, a little loser, a failure, and a nobody.


    “The Murphy family’s daughters and sons-inw also shunned me.


    “Armstrong even med me and disregarded my dignity for Kaysen’s sake.


    “Miranda never liked me. She’s been going on blind dates since the divorce. Remus’ plot has really failed terribly.


    “What Remus didn’t take into ount was that Armstrong and Peony would do all of that to me. He wanted the Murphy family to rise to new heights?


    “Did it ever ur to them that the Murphy family would all die if I lost my temper?” A chill flickered in rence’s eyes.


    It felt awful to have been set up.


    rence now realized that his rescue of Remus had all been orchestrated by Remus.


    Even his marriage to Miranda had been part of Remus’ plot.


    Emmett said, “Young Master, you and Miranda are already divorced.


    “If you want to go after the Murphy family, just give me your word, and I can condemn the Murphy family to eternal damnation.


    “Those who have mistreated you wille to a tragic end.”


    Emmett spoke calmly, but rence believed he was capable of doing it.


    rence was startled and quickly shook his head. “No thanks. I was just saying.


    “I’ve been with the Murphy family for three years. It’s all over now. You don’t have to go after them.”


    “Okay.” Emmett nodded.


    Looking confused, rence asked, “I have one more question.”


    “Yes, Young Master.” Emmett smiled respectfully.


    “How did Remus find me first?”


    Emmett looked at rence kindly. “Young Master, don’t you remember?


    “Three years ago, you donated your blood once.


    “Remus used gic matching to find you before we did.”


    “I see.” rence smacked his head as it dawned on him.


    Three years ago, he had been buying medicine in the hospital when the hospital’s blood bank just happened to be having a blood shortage. There was also a life-threatening operation going on, so the hospital asked everyone present to donate their blood on the spot.


    rence donated 10 ounces of blood, intending to save lives.


    That was when Remus found out about rence’s identity.


    Then, Remus got into a car ident on the route rence always took. Since rence had donated blood, Remus knew that rence was not a bad guy and would save him.


    If rence had hesitated for even a few seconds, Remus would have died.


    Even after rence saved him, Remus died a weekter in the hospital.


    rence was secretly impressed.. Remus had risked his own life to set this up.
