Kneeling before her like a beaten dog, in front of countless media, I lowered my head in apology, publicly confessing and apologizing to her and Lucian.
“It was Selene who drugged Lucian to seduce him and I deliberately interfered in their relationship…”
Seeing the confession they twisted and forced me to write, I had wanted to run away.
Vivienne leaned close and played a vague voice recording of my sister.
“Dorian… so cold…”
I clenched my teeth and admitted everything.

People in the audience casted looks of disdain and mockery at me, as if watching a circus act.
I didn't even know how I left that banquet. I only wanted to see with my own eyes that my sister was safe.
But the caretaker at the nursing home told me that after seeing the video of me kneeling, my sister had cried to go out and look for me… and disappeared.
When I saw my sister again, she had already become a cold, lifeless corpse.
Her body was filthy and battered and even at her last breath she had clutched tightly the paper plane I loved to play with as a child.
I beat those homeless men who abused her half‑to‑death, yet I would never again hear her call me “My little Dorian.”
Holding her body, I was drowning in agony.
Meanwhile, my phone was flooded with headlines celebrating “Tech Rising Star Vivienne and Lucian Finally Reunited.”
How could I not hate them?
I handled all of my sister’s funeral arrangements alone.
With a fruit knife in my pocket, I wanted only one thing—to drag them down to hell with me.
At the bell‑ringing ceremony, I charged inside. But I was too naive. Before I could even get close, the security guards pinned me hard to the ground.
In front of the cameras, I screamed and cried, exposing their shamelessness, hoping to destroy them publicly.
But how could I ever be a match for them?
“He was mentally unstable after his sister passed away. He’s caused trouble for everyone. My apologies, but I promise he’ll never have the chance to hurt anyone again.”
When it came to dealing with a helpless orphan like me, they had endless ways and endless strength.
I was jailed for intentional assault.
Two years later, when I was released, the world outside had already changed beyond recognition.
Vivienne had become the lofty, untouchable CEO of a publicly listed company.
I couldn’t even get near the company gates, let alone talk about revenge.
