I'm the true heir to an affluent family who got switched at birth. But when I'm reunited with my family, they suddenly announce their bankruptcy. The sprawling mansion is repossessed, leaving me, my wife, and my parents to sleep on the streets. My parents are so furious that they end up getting admitted to the hospital—one gets a stroke, and the other passes away. My wife gets her legs broken by one of the creditors, and my son is so frightened that he becomes mentally impaired. To bear the astronomical medical bill, I work countless part-time jobs and put myself through the wringer. Everything changes when, one day, I accept a job as a temporary driver. I go to a lavish hotel's banquet hall. A celebration for a gold wedding is being held there, and I see my late mother and paralyzed father sharing a kiss onstage. My crippled wife is dancing offstage as she enjoys the festivities. Meanwhile, my son speaks fluently in a foreign language as he speaks with a foreign child.

The Heir Who Lost Everything Chapter 9
The Falkners left dejectedly.After that, Stella invested in our guesthouse. She even guided me through integrating the small fishing village's guesthouse, seafood market, and sea-based entertainment facilities into a thriving tourism chain.As Stein Fishing Village gained more popularity, big-name companies from Slyburgh started knocking on my door, seeking to collaborate or even buy us out.It was around this time that Corey and Xander showed up in front of me again.Corey tossed a document onto the table and said in a commanding tone, "Sign it."The title of the document read, "Stein Fishing Village Acquisition Proposal."I skimmed through it. He actually wanted to buy us out for five million dollars.Stein Fishing Village was worth at least 100 million dollars now!I looked at them like they were fools and threw the document straight into the trash.Corey slammed his hand on the table. "You bastard! You want to do this the hard way, huh? Don't forget what your last name is

The old Falkner couple glared at me with darkened expressions as they saw how much I cared about Dad and Mom.Xander pressed his polished shoe against my face. "Apologize to Mom and Dad."The rain started pouring again, just like that day.Lying in the mud, I watched Mom and Dad being beaten by the bodyguards. My heart ached with an unbearable pain.Maybe I should've just died in that filthy gutter that day.I cried out in despair, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was wrong! I realize my mistake now! Please, just let my parents go."At that moment, Xander was suddenly shoved aside. A cold, sharp voice echoed above my head. "No, you're not the one at fault. They are."A black umbrella appeared over my head.Then, a soft, floral fragrance drifted toward me, and a handkerchief gently wiped the dirt from my face. As I looked up, a stunningly beautiful face came into view.For a moment, I forgot to cry.It was Stella Lawson, the current head of Lawson Group. She was Elian Lawson's illegit

I was beaten by the bodyguards yesterday and was covered in bruises. As Dad hugged me tightly, pressing against the wounds, I couldn't help but cry out in pain.Dad looked at me curiously and asked what was going on.I waved my hands and said it was nothing. I quickly changed the subject as I bent down to pick up the squid from the floor."Mom, are you making grilled squid tonight? I'm so looking forward to it," I said."Yeah, I remember Lydia loved my grilled squid. Why didn't she come back with you this time?"I fell silent for a long time. With a strained smile, I looked up at them and replied, "Lydia won't be coming back. And I'm not going back to the Falkner family, either."I then asked, "Dad, Mom, can I still be your son, Julian Stein?"They stared at me for a moment, then gently patted my head."Of course. You'll always be our precious son. This will always be your home."Looking at their kind smiles, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I collapsed into Mom's arms and so

I was getting angrier with every word. I felt like I could strangle the woman in front of me, who only knew how to whimper and cry.Lydia had hurt me, yet here she was, acting like I was the one who had wronged her.I shook her hand off. "Now, get out! Right now! I feel sick just looking at you.""No, I won't leave," Lydia said. To my surprise, she dropped to her knees and clung to my legs. "Julian, I admit my body betrayed you, but my feelings for you have never changed. The only person I've ever loved is you!"I was rendered speechless."I slept with Xander because he threatened me. He said if I didn't, he would make your parents kick you out of the Falkner family. I did it all for you!"I harshly yanked her hands off me and pushed her away."You're just greedy for vanity. Don't pretend you're doing all those disgusting things out of love for me. Your slutty actions have nothing to do with me."Lydia's face flushed with anger. "Julian Faulkner! I've already lowered myself l

I stood battered and bruised in the pouring rain, watching my so-called biological parents and their adopted son treat me—their actual son—with disdain as they sat in a luxury car.The world felt absurd beyond belief.Suddenly, my nose tingled, and tears rolled down my cheeks. Luckily, it was raining, so no one could see.I flipped Corey the bird in the rain. "Fuck you, you old shit! Your forgiveness isn't worth anything!" The Lincoln limousine drove off amidst Corey's frantic curses.…Fortunately, my rental apartment wasn't far.I dragged my bruised body and limped back to the place. After stripping off the foul-smelling clothes, I carefully washed myself from head to toe.Lying in bed, I tried to comfort myself that I'd start a new life tomorrow after a good rest.The next morning, I called the junk collector and sold off everything I had bought with Lydia—the projector, the couch, the mattress—all of it.Her clothes and her headphones went straight into the trash.I dr

So, Joel really wasn't my son?I looked at Lydia. My heart broke so badly that it felt like I was suffocating.Lydia shook her head frantically. "No, it's not like you think, Julian. Let me explain—""You guessed it right, Julian. Let me tell you. The day Mom and Dad kicked you out of the company, Lydia climbed into my bed," Xander cut her off with a sneer."Well, that makes sense. I'm the CEO of a company, and you're just a useless country bumpkin. Any fool could tell who the smart choice was." Joel chimed in while clapping along, "Yeah, yeah! You're the best, Dad! That useless country bumpkin doesn't deserve Mom. She's a goddess!"No wonder Lydia had never wanted children after I came back to the Falkner family. She had been waiting and evaluating her options.I'd only just realized it now.All the childhood promises and all those vows were nothing but empty words when faced with greed.Fury consumed me, and I threw a punch straight at Xander's face. "You bastard!"Dad roa

Xander was nowhere to be found. Mom and Dad cried, claiming I was their only hope.Only now did I realize that my so-called biological parents had never considered me their child. Xander was the only one they could see.Even my childhood sweetheart and wife, Lydia, had betrayed me.Oh, right. Not just Lydia. Even the reason I returned to the Falkner family, Joel, had turned his back on me.At that very moment, he was tightly hugging Xander's neck and calling him "Dad".I reached out to pull him away, but he looked at me with pure disgust. "You poor, pathetic man! Don't touch me! You stink!"A bitter taste surged in my throat. "I'm your father!""Go away! You're not my father!" Joel kicked me in the face. His little face contorted with hatred as he looked at me like I was his enemy."Stay away, you disgusting country bumpkin! If Mom hadn't forced me to call you 'Dad,' I wouldn't have bothered! Just being near you makes me want to puke."No wonder he refused to let me hold him d

"Julian..." Lydia called my name as if she was trying to explain, but her mouth opened and closed without a single word coming out.Silence was her answer.I let out a bitter laugh and stood up. "I'm nothing but a pathetic clown!""Julian, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you." Lydia sobbed uncontrollably.Just then, Xander stepped forward. He pulled Lydia aside and looked at me with disdain. "Typical country dog. Always spouting curses and lacking any manners."Mom chimed in, backing Xander up. "This is why we had to lie to you about the family going bankrupt. We thought it would make you grow up, but look at you, still a failure."Dad snorted. "Seems like Xander was right. A lowborn, unrefined brat like you doesn't deserve to inherit the family's fortune."I stood there, staring at them, as their words sliced through me like daggers. I covered my eyes in agony, unable to say a single word.I had been in this family for ten years. Two years after I joined the family, we went b

I stood frozen in place, watching the joyful and harmonious family in the banquet hall.Was I hallucinating because of how tired I was from work? Wasn't my family bankrupt?I rubbed my eyes in disbelief and turned to look at the photo on the golden anniversary plaque beside me.It was a picture of my parents, Corey Falkner and Sabrina Burke, my wife, Lydia Quill, and my son, Joel Falkner. The fake heir, Xander Falkner, was included as well.They looked so close, like a real family.Just then, someone slapped me on the back of the head. It was the car owner who'd asked me to drive for him.He looked at me with disdain. "What are you spacing out for? Stop staring! Listen up. Today is Mr. and Mrs. Falkner's golden anniversary. Get it together. Don't make any mistakes."I touched the back of my head. It hurt, but Mom and Dad were still on stage.So this wasn't a dream. But why?If my family hadn't gone bankrupt, why had they lied to me?I couldn't believe it. Dad, who had tried
