The Lester family broke into an uproar.
Brandon had invited all the influential, wealthy people in Seacisco to his wedding, except the Lester
family.
When Elissa went to play cards with her friends, her fellow wealthy ladies mocked her, saying the
Larson Group didn’t respect the Lester family.
Although Lester Silk Fabric and the Larson Group were rivals, Patrick still wanted to make peace and
ensure the development of the two companies. If Lester Silk Fabric and the Larson Group joined
hands, they would undoubtedly monopolize the economic lifeline of Seacisco.
However, Brandon’s enigmatic personality irked him. Although the Lester family belonged to the
wealthiest strata of society, they never interacted with Brandon. They didn’t even know what he looked
like.
“How come Brandon got married all of a sudden? I haven’t even heard of him being in love with anyone
before.” Elisa grunted angrily and took a sip of the tea. Her nose scrunched up with disgust as the
horrible taste spread in her mouth
Ritchie slept all morning and finally woke up in the afternoon. He went downstairs, yawning, and turned
on the TV in the living room.
“Why do you care about Brandon? Our Lester family is in no way inferior to him. His invitation means
nothing to us.”
Ritchie scoffed disdainfully as he sat on the sofa, cross-legged.
“You don’t understand. Brandon has invited all the famous people in Seacisco except our Lester family.
You have no idea how those bitches insulted me while playing cards. They want to defeat me in
everything, so those ladies took the opportunity to mock me by talking about his wedding the whole
time. It was horrible!” Elissa was fuming with rage.
She glanced at the entertainment news on the TV. Suddenly, her face turned pale, and her eyes almost
popped out of their sockets.
Seeing the horror in his mother’s eyes, Ritchie also turned to look at the TV.
“Mom? What happened? Damn it!”
They were broadcasting Brandon’s wedding on TV. However, the couple getting married was the
coward Ethan and his humble wife. Just then, Patrick came downstairs. He was equally shocked. He
stared at the TV with wide eyes.
“Oh my God! It’s Ethan.” Patrick couldn’t believe his eyes. He repeated the words over and over again
as he stared at the TV.
No two people in the world would look this alike. Brandon was none other than Ethan.
No one would have thought that a loser like Ethan would establish a business empire like the Larson
Group, which was as powerful as the Lester family, and become a successful CEO. Nobody had a clue
about his secret life. Elissa couldn’t deal with the shock. She didn’t know what to do. Unfortunately,
Patrick was here; she couldn’t even show her resentment. She turned around and winked at her son,
secretly expressing her feelings.
Patrick picked up the newspaper on the table and unfolded it. A slow smile emerged on his face.
“This boy amazes me.”
Looking at Ethan’s achievements, Patrick realized he was more smart and outstanding than his eldest
son, Seth
Lester, who was in charge of a branch company of the Lester family in a different city, Patrick regretted
kicking Ethan out of the family. It had been a hasty decision. If he had known Ethan’s potential, he
would have never asked him to leave.
Elissa’s heart sank when she saw the smile on Patrick’s face.
She should have killed that boy when she still could. Ethan was wealthier and more influential than the
Lester family now. He wouldn’t bother acquiring their property, for his assets surpassed theirs. She
couldn’t bear to watch him, an illegitimate child, grow right before her eyes.
“Damn it!” Ritchie angrily stomped his foot.
He threw the remote and stormed out of the room. Elissa followed him out to the garden.
“Things have gotten out of hand. We should get rid of Ethan!” Ritchie’s head throbbed. He looked at
Elissa and scoffed.
“Do you think he is still a loser whom we could mess around and get away with it? He is now Brandon
Larson — the CEO of the Larson Group!”
“So what? Just because Ethan has another identity, doesn’t mean we should just give up. The Larson
Group and the Lester family are enemies. The only solution is to get rid of Ethan.” Elissa fisted her
palms as anger coursed through her veins.
