"You had never spent much money raising this child since his childhood. You had not spent any money supporting his education. However, you were able to get a lifetime of inexhaustible wealth from him. Not only that, but all of you, the four elderly people, also would be well taken care of for the rest of your lives. Not only will you benefit from him, but even your three daughters will also be able to squander his inexhaustible wealth. Is that not it?"
Vireo had never spoken to his parents so frankly about all that before this. However, at that moment, since he wanted to completely cut all ties with them and never be involved with them anymore, he had to tell them everything!
"Originally, I could ignore all of these. Since I, Vireo Payne, am the Payne family's child, I didn't intend to pursue the matters anymore. There's something very good about me. I am very optimistic. As long as the world could give me a little smile, I will be able to beam like the sun. Later on, I got together with Mira, and I went to the provincial capital to build my career. Originally, I thought that I would have a bright future there. However, I have never expected that Mira was the woman who made my life even worse. At that moment, when I was in despair, and when I needed my family the most, what have you done? I n the four years of marriage I had with Mira, you had taken more than tens of millions of dollars from both me and the Turner family! You may have gotten one hundred million dollars! My life with Mira would have gone in a good direction. Even i f she had hidden a lot of things from me, she still had some feelings for me.
However, the reason Mira, as well as her father, did not treat me as a human and had kept calling me a greedy man from a lowly background was that you had taken tens of millions from them in those four years. You had gotten all that money, but you had never thought of giving me a single penny! Is that how you treat your son?"
He continued, "Never mind that you have not given me a single penny! I have never cared for money that much. However, I had a fall out with Mira later on. When I was forced into a dead end, and when I held a knife to Mira, that was when I needed the comfort of my family the most. At that time, I was having a complete breakdown. I f my family was able to reach out and pull me out at that time, I wouldn't have done that kind of thing. However, as my family, who had leeched off tens of millions from me, what have you done to me back then? You openly sever all ties with me! When I was arrested, not only did you not comfort me, but you even made false accusations against me! You listed all kinds of crimes that I had committed, which were all made up by you, to the police. You even reported t o the police that I was once detained in prison for half a month in that small county! Was that something that you as my parents should do? If I were your biological son, would you have done that? When I was a hair's breadth away from death and was i n a coma in the provincial city, what did you take me for then? Dad! Mom? May I ask what did you take me for when I was a hair's breadth away from death in the provincial capital four years ago? If I guessed it right, at that time, you wanted very badly for me to be sentenced to death, right?"
Lucius and his wife looked at Vireo with immense embarrassment. Vireo sneered. It was very obvious that he had hit the nail o n the head! He had always known that they had that kind of mindset back then, anyway.
"So, do you understand why I didn't contact you again after my mentor saved me, pleaded mercy for me, and finally got me out of that misery, but I chose to go abroad t o further my studies? That was because I had already made up my mind back then that I would never be in contact with you anymore in this life. I will never be in contact with the Payne family anymore in this life! I no longer have adoptive parents and three sisters anymore in my life! So, please leave. Don't ever bother me again in the future. If you were to do so in the future, my biological parents will take you to court with the proof of the DNA paternity test and let you rot in prison! Now, please get out of the way. If you don't, the law enforcement officers will have a way to let you get out of the way."
After saying that, Vireo did not take another look at the two old people from the Payne family anymore. He turned around t o open his car door.
Lucius suddenly burst out howling from behind him. "Vireo, we...we have no way out anymore."
