StarNovelChapter 1882 Adler and I were like night and day, two brothers living in completely different worlds. He had no clue I existed, yet I spent every day watching his life unfold. Little did he know, we went to the selementary, middle, and high schools. But since I was older, our paths never crossed.

That stoked the fires of my jealousy. He seemed born with everything handed to him on a silver platter; the Tredgold family's universe spun around him. He had the world's most legitimate standing-his father's son and heir.
Meanwhile, I had lost my mom, leavingwith nothing. During that time, I was simmering with resentment and anger. The deeper my hatred grew, the more composed I becon the outside.

Once I hit the big time, Russell Entertainment would face a storm of bad press. I figured they'd be bankrupt in under two years.
Sophie greetedwith warmth, but I wasn't in the mood to chat. Sure, she Sure, she was pretty, but the world's full of pretty faces. Maybe she was here to makesoffer, so I kept my cool. "What do you want?"
