Chapter 2

Seeing Solomon spit out a bloody tooth, Sara panicked.

"Kennedy, have you lost your mind! Touch him again, and I swear Dad will fire you on the spot!"

The surrounding employees rushed over to hold me back, shouting at me.

"That's the Chairman's grandson! The heir to the Morgan Group! You're just a tiny intern, are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

I sneered and shook off their grip.

"Since when can a male escort steal my identity?"

"Sara, you’ve completely lost your mind over this bastard!"

My so-called sister panicked. She slapped me across the face to cut me off.

"You must be drunk! What kind of delusion is this? Steal your identity?"

"Solomon is my real brother!"

Looking at Sara, a cold shiver ran down my spine.

I couldn't believe she could say something so shameless for Solomon's sake!

Sara wasn't even a blood Morgan.

When my mom was pregnant with her second child, she had a miscarriage. Devastated, she adopted a baby girl from an orphanage to raise as her own.

Who would have thought we were raising a viper?

She lived with the Morgans for twenty years. My mom treated her like a biological daughter, and I loved her like a real sister.

But to her, our guidance was nothing but "chains."

She would rather treat an outsider like Solomon as her brother than stand by my side.

I touched my stinging cheek and sneered at her.

"Sara, you're getting bolder. You actually have the guts to help Solomon steal my identity."

"When Mom gets back and finds out you let Solomon take my place in the marriage alliance, have you thought about the consequences?"

Sara's face turned pale. She was clearly terrified of my mother's ruthless business methods.

Shakira, who had been watching the drama unfold, frowned and finally spoke.

"What do you mean by that? Isn't Solomon the heir to the Morgan Group?"

Hearing this, Solomon immediately put on a show, looking deeply hurt.

"My mom always took great care of Kennedy. She said she treated him like her own son."

"I didn't expect him to actually believe it. Now he hallucinates about being the true heir."

"Shakira, please don't believe a word he says!"

I didn't explain. I just wanted to see Shakira's reaction.

The Russells were the family my mother chose for my arranged marriage.

If the heiress of the Russell family couldn't even see through a lie this obvious, then this marriage wasn't worth keeping anyway.

Shakira hesitated and looked at Sara. Sara quickly jumped in.

"Shakira, do you think I wouldn't recognize my own brother?"

"Don't forget the sapphire necklace Solomon gave you. That's the Morgan family heirloom."

"It's only given to the future daughter-in-law. Do you still doubt Solomon?"

Hearing this, I stepped forward and landed another heavy punch on Solomon's face.

"You dared to steal my mom's necklace!"

That necklace had been passed down through generations of the Morgan family. It would never be taken out until the wedding day.

Solomon was incredibly bold to steal something like that just to please Shakira!

"Enough! Security, drag this lunatic away!"

This time, it wasn't Sara. It was Shakira.

She looked at me with pure disgust. She clearly believed Sara's lies completely.

As several security guards pinned me down, a colleague from the office mustered up the courage to speak up for me.

"Miss Russell, Kennedy only snapped because Mr. Solomon stole his project. He’s just drunk, it's understandable."

Shakira sneered.

"He's just an intern at the Morgan Group. It's his job to serve the family! What's wrong with taking his project?"

"Didn't Solomon give him a few hundred bucks as compensation? People of your class are just so greedy!"

I stared at Shakira, stunned.

I didn't expect the Russell heiress, who always acted sweet and kind in public, to be so repulsive behind closed doors.

She and Solomon were birds of a feather!

Sara smirked at me triumphantly, hugging Shakira's arm.

"Thank you, Shakira. I knew you would see right through him. He’s just trash!"

Looking at Shakira's arrogant face, I felt sick to my stomach.

The Russells were far less powerful than the Morgans. No wonder Shakira threw away her dignity just to cling to the Morgan family.

Too bad the guy she was trying so hard to please was a complete fraud!

I couldn't wait to see her face when she realized she married a penniless bastard!
