They Tried to Kill Me for Their Fake SonChapter 1

Cade's POV

After being brought back home by my wealthy parents, they swore they'd make up for everything.

And since the "fake son" was mercilessly sent overseas, I was named the sole heir. But the day before I was supposed to sign the transfer of shares, I got into a terrible car accident.

My legs were shattered, and I lost my sight completely.

My mother was devastated, crying so hard that it felt like her heart might break. She even said she'd give me her own eyes if she could. Meanwhile, my father, usually kind and gentle, became cold and demanding, pushing for the driver responsible to be severely punished. He even tightened his grip over the company's shareholders to ensure my position as heir wouldn’t be shaken.

Overwhelmed with guilt, I went looking for him one day, only to overhear a conversation that froze me in place.

The voice belonged to Jed Tillery— the "fake son" who was supposedly exiled overseas. "Wasn't making him the heir just a front? I'm back now after studying abroad. When exactly is he getting shipped back to the countryside?"
