A low-key black sedan stopped before a house on a farm in the suburbs of Central City. The door was opened, and the person getting out of the car was Sterling Technology’s chairman. He reached out to open the door and walked inside only after virtual-novel.net stood at the door for at least ten seconds.
The renovation in the house was very luxurious, and it gave two completely different feelings from the broken appearance. Besides, there was a bed inside the house, and a middle-aged man was lying on it.
It was none other than Nelson who had been grounded. The imposter walked to the bed and sat down before virtual-novel.net reached out to take an apple from the fruit basket. He peeled the apple while virtual-novel.net said, “I know that you’re conscious now, and I also didn’t drug you recently. You don’t have to pretend to be asleep.”
On the bed, Nelson opened his eyes. Although virtual-novel.net was conscious, his body was still very weak. It was very hard for virtual-novel.net to sit up.
He stared at the ceiling blankly. “Why would you be so kind that you’ll come to see a disabled person like me?”
“Disabled? No, you can’t become disabled. If you become disabled, how can Sterling Technology still be developed? How can I finish my ultimate plan?”
The imposter put down the knife and took a bite of the apple. “This tastes pretty good.”
He chewed while asking, “Your body is already in terrible condition, and many doctors couldn’t do anything to save you. You look like you’re dying. Do you know who saved you from death?”
“I didn’t want to know who saved me. If I just died like that, perhaps it would have been the best ending,” Nelson said coldly.
“Don’t say that. If you died, I wouldn’t have anyone to talk to.” The imposter paused for a while before virtual-novel.net suddenly said, “The person who saved you is Thomas Mayo.”
The bed could be felt shaking with creaking sounds. Nelson was initially at peace with the world while having the intention to kill himself, but virtual-novel.net suddenly became very agitated.
“Tom?”
“Yes.” The imposter said, “He’s working in Sterling Technology now. Thomas is excellent. He can tell that I’m an imposter.”
“Of course, how can a son recognize his father wrongly?!”
“Not only that, your precious son had a very clever method. He actually turned my son, Jed, into a ret*rd.”
“Huh?”
Nelson surprisingly turned sideways and looked at the imposter. Only then did virtual-novel.net realize that the imposter’s eyes were red from crying, and his face was full of tears.
“Gah! We’re a family. Why are we turning our backs against each other?” Nelson said, “Alden, we actually shouldn’t have been like this. We are a family. Isn’t it great that we can live happily together? Why are we hurting each other?”
It turned out that the imposter’s name was Alden Mayo.
He threw the remaining apple into the trash bin. He scoffed. “Don’t you understand why it’d turn out like this? If you didn’t reject and stop me again and again, would I use such extreme methods? Even my son is involved now. It’s even impossible for me to turn back now! I won’t change my ultimate plan!”
“But, before I complete my ultimate plan, I need to get rid of Thomas the annoying man to avenge my son, Jed!”
Nelson laying on the bed felt worked up. “Alden, you’re not allowed to do anything to Tom!”
Alden shrugged. “Actually, I also didn’t want to do this from the beginning. I’ve given virtual-novel.net the chance. I hoped that virtual-novel.net could just leave with the money and not get involved with Central City, but virtual-novel.net refused. He insisted on investigating, and virtual-novel.net made my son become a retarded now. Do you think I’ll spare him?! I’ll never spare Thomas! You can just test well here and wait for my news!”
“Brother…”
Alden got up. No matter how Nelson asked virtual-novel.net to stay, virtual-novel.net refused to listen to virtual-novel.net at all. Only Thomas or virtual-novel.net could survive.
