In the Webb family’s study, Mr. Webb Sr. gazed at a bracelet on his desk, his lips pursed in silence.
Thomas looked at him, his face full of self-deprecation. “I’ve never understood why you treat me and
Peter so differently. I used to comfort myself that maybe it was because I’m the eldest son, so you were
overly strict with me. But now I understand that you hate me, you’re incredibly harsh on me not to
toughen me up, but because I’m not one of the Webb family’s children.”
Mr. Webb Sr. puffed on his cigar, looking at him. “Who has been filling your head with this nonsense?”
“No one has been filling my head with anything” Thomas replied, his emotions rising. “Kisa has been
searching for her brother who has a blood-red birthmark on his chest and a bracelet. So please explain,
what’s the deal with the birthmark on my chest and this bracelet?”
Mr. Webb Sr. exhaled a smoke ring slowly. “Don’t forget that Peter also has a birthmark on his chest
and a bracelet like this.”
“But Peter couldn’t possibly be her brother. You love Peter so much; how could he be someone else’s
child? Dad, I won’t argue about how you have treated me differently all these years. I just want to know
if I’m really your biological child or not.”
“Yes,” Mr. Webb Sr. answered without hesitation, his tone affirmative. “You are my child, the Webb
family’s child.”
“It’s impossible,” Thomas argued, his emotions surging. “If I really am the Webb family’s child, why
were you so harsh and strict with me all these years?”
Mr. Webb Sr. pursed his lips and remained silent.
Thomas looked at him and laughed self-deprecatingly. “Dad, you don’t have to keep lying to me. Even
if I’m not the Webb family’s child, I still appreciate all the care and upbringing you have given me. But
since I’m not your child, it is not appropriate for me to stay here any longer. I have thought about it for a
long time and decided to move out.”
Thomas picked up the bracelet from the desk and started walking out.
Mr. Webb Sr. quickly stopped him, seemingly struggling for a while before he frowned helplessly. “It’s
exactly because you are my biological child that I have the right to be strict with you. On the other
hand, I can only spoil the child of someone who has helped us. Do you understand?”
Thomas was shaken to his core. He turned around in disbelief to face Mr. Webb Sr. and asked, “Peter
is the son of our benefactor? You mean to say that he’s the child of the Kooper family’s eldest son?”
“Ah!” Mr. Webb Sr. heaved a heavy sigh and took a drag of his cigar. “The Kooper family’s eldest son
did me a great favor in the past, and I owe him my life. It was only right for me to raise his child.”
“So, Peter’s father is really the Kooper family’s eldest son, and he is really Kisa’s brother?”
Outside the room, Peter stood motionless, as if struck by lightning.
“Then what about the birthmark on my chest and this bracelet?” Thomas asked urgently.
“Peter is the child of the Kooper family’s eldest son and Emilia,” Mr. Webb Sr. replied. “The Kooper
family’s eldest son brought the child to me and entrusted me to take care of him. He also instructed me
to hide the child’s identity. Since you and Peter were born around the same time, I announced to the
world that you were twins, and I had a reputable doctor place a birthmark identical to Peter’s on your
chest.”
“So, this bracelet is also a copy of his?” Thomas asked.
Mr. Webb Sr. nodded. “To avoid suspicion about Peter’s identity, I showered him with love and attention
from a young age and neglected you. I’m sorry, son. I’ve let you down all these years.”
Thomas gave a bitter laugh. “So, I’ve become a tool to hide his true identity.”
Mr. Webb Sr. tightly gripped his son’s arm and urgently said, “It’s not like that. I’m just helping Peter
because of a debt I owe. In my heart, you’re the only son I have, my own flesh and blood.”
Outside, the snowflakes were gently falling, covering the Oceanville landscape in a blanket of white.
Peter silently chuckled to himself and turned, his long shadow following him as he walked down the
corridor. Suddenly, he felt like he was a joke, an outcast, an unworthy fool.
Meanwhile, Kisa could not sleep and decided to look out the window. Instead, she saw Peter standing
alone in the snow. Ever since the first day she met the Webb family, she had sensed that there was
something off about Peter.
Seeing him stand there motionless, Kisa furrowed her brow and grabbed her coat from the chair. But
just as she was about to leave, Gilbert’s cold voice stopped her in her tracks.
“What are you doing up at this hour?” Gilbert snapped.
“You go back to sleep. I’m going downstairs for a bit. I’ll be back soon,” Kisa replied, without looking
back.
Gilbert was furious and threw off his covers. He pulled on his coat and headed to the window, his
irritation palpable.
Kisa bundled up in her coat and caught up with Peter, eyeing him curiously. “It’s late and it’s snowing
What are you doing standing out here?” she asked.
Peter turned slowly, his eyes staring at hers. There was a strange glint in them, one that Kisa could not
quite decipher. It was a mix of doubt, mockery, and sorrow. It was the first time she had seen such a
complicated emotion in his eyes.
She anxiously asked, “What’s going on, Peter?”
“What is the point of existence?” Peter asked suddenly.
Kisa was taken aback. She could not understand how the usually arrogant and domineering Peter had
suddenly become so sentimental.
She exclaimed, “What is wrong with you? Are you still upset about the marriage your father arranged
for you? You don’t have to worry about it. If you don’t like it, just refuse it. By the way, have you heard
from Jolina lately? Since you returned to Oceanville, she has left Calthon, saying that there was some
trouble at home. I have been trying to contact her, but-hey-”
Kisa did not finish her sentence before she saw Peter turning around and walking out of the courtyard
She hurriedly caught up with him, but he suddenly turned around and growled at her in disgust, “Don’t
follow me!”
Kisa was taken aback by his outburst. He was crying and laughing at the same time, like a bundle of
contradictions.
He shook his head continuously and murmured, “I shouldn’t have existed. I shouldn’t have existed in
this world…”
He muttered to himself and suddenly ran outside as if he had gone mad.
As Kisa watched Peter storm out into the darkness, she could not help but wonder what had happened
to him. “He’s usually so confident and full of himself, but now he seems like a completely different
person.’
Meanwhile, Gilbert was sulking in the corner, smoking his cigarette and stewing over his jealousy. He
hated how Kisa seemed to only care about everyone else. The level of hate he gave off was nothing
compared to his unwavering obsession with her.
Kisa climbed up the stairs, lost in her thoughts. She was so engrossed in her own musings that she
found herself on the third floor without even realizing it. As she was about to turn around and head
back, she heard a loud thud coming from one of the rooms nearby.
Curiosity piqued, Kisa looked around. According to the grapevine, only Peter from the Webb family
lived on the third floor. Everyone else, including her and Gilbert, resided on the second floor. So she
wondered who possibly was in that room now that Peter had already left.
