Chapter 3 The Man on the Wheelchair


    He stared at the sea in distance. His face still remained freezing cold though it was warm spring now.


    "Master Stefan, we get the news that there is going to be your wedding with Anayah Campbell. What


    can I do for you?" Paul asked.


    When hearing that, Stefan smiled, "Nothing! Only a new house will be enough!"


    His attractive deep voice was intoxicating as it sounded.


    "Yes, sir. By the way, Asher Roberts and Jaiden Cole told me by phone that everything goes on just as


    you have nned. After the wedding, they will take actions!"


    Actually, Paul had been serving him for more than ten years.


    "Okay, no rush. Don''t make any mistakes about my grandpa!" Stefan replied casually while his eyes


    were still fixing on the sea.


    ''Wedding, huh? Frank, it has been nine years! I can''t wait to see you again!''


    The Byrne family was known as the most powerful family in the X City, the king on the top. The whole


    family owned a hugemercial base including the Byrne Group and CT Group while Edison Byrne


    was its founding father.


    When he was young, he had been a top gun in both the political world and the underworld. After


    establishing the two groups, he had taken the top position and then he married the one he loved most.


    After giving birth to a son and a daughter, his wife passed away.


    His son, Callum Byrne, married a nice woman, Ciara Harvey, who gave birth to three sons. However,


    the oldest son, Keegan Byrne, died of disease at the age of twelve. It rendered Edison sad for a long


    time.


    The second son, Frank Byrne, had been cruel and domineering. Both of his parents loved him the


    most. However, Edison had been remaining a neutral attitude towards him.

    The youngest son, Stefan Byrne, had been filial and sensible. And he was the one whom Edison cared


    most.


    When Stefan was sixteen, there was a fire ident happening in the Byrne Mansion, because of which


    Stefan''s legs were crashed. Then he was taken to the private-owned ind of the Byrne family for


    rehabilitation. It was then he had to live with wheelchair.


    Edison was rendered desperately sad because of it. In order to make up for him, he transferred 40% of


    the shares of the Byrne Group to Stefan. And Frank appeared to be the only candidate to inherit both


    the Byrne Group and its branch, the CT Group.


    Stefan squinted while sitting on the wheelchair on the balcony. The fire nine years ago had been a


    nightmare of his life. He still remembered that it was Frank who pushed him into the fire when it started


    to burn. And then his legs were crashed by a burning pir falling down.


    It was Paul who rushed into the fire and risked his life to save him, who was dying at that time.


    From then on, he was turned into a cripple. He bore the great pain and built up a vi in the ind he


    owned. Then he named it as the Soul Ind!


    Since Stefan had been staying in the ind, Edison would suffice all his needs as he still cared about


    him most.


    However, when Stefan moved to the ind, he asked for nothing. He totally isted himself from the


    outside world.


    Now he had been staying on the ind for nine years. Except for his grandpa Edison, no one came to


    visit him.


    At the age of eighteen, Stefan got 40% of the shares of Byrne Group.


    He still clearly remembered that when he got the shares that day, Frank stared at him with a mocking


    smile while he was sitting on the wheelchair.


    Frank deliberately squatted down beside him and shouted, "Stefan, don''t worry! I will make the Byrne


    Group greater and stronger! You have nothing to do but sit still and enjoy yourself with your shares!"


    Then he whispered with low voice while no one could catch it, "Well, Stefan, I really feel ashamed for


    you for doing nothing but to gain with shares! If I were you, a cripple, I would definitely deem myself a


    burden. How could you ept so many shares while doing nothing? What can you do with that? Just


    sit still on your wheelchair and see how I am going to be the president of the group!"


    Then he patted on Stefan''s shoulder and stood up with a smile and left.


    From then on, Stefan swore that he had to stand up one day!


    Now it had been nine years. It was time for him to take back everything he should own.


    Since there was going to be a marriage between Frank and Anayah, the first thing he needed to do


    was take away Frank''s beloved one and hit him hard!


    Then he would like make Frank see how he was going to bang Anayah! He needed to make him taste


    the worst feeling in his life!


    At the thought of that, Stefan couldn''t help smiling. Now he really fancied what was going to happen


    next.


    ''Frank Byrne, you will soon experience the pain I have been through during the past nine years! Just


    enjoy it! Now it''s time to start our game!''


    …


    Meanwhile, the Campbell family was also amercial tycoon in the X City, while the Byrne family was


    second to none.


    Nichs and Lucia were college ssmates. After getting married, she gave birth to Anayah Campbell.


    When she was seven years old, Nichs brought a five-year-old girl back home.


    The girl was none other than Emmeline Campbell. Lucia had been arguing at that time, questioning


    Nichs who the girl was. He gritted his teeth and insisted that it was his illegitimate daughter with


    another woman.


    From then on, Emmeline had been bullied by her stepmother and sister. And Nichs had been doing


    his best to protect her till she was admitted to the B University.


    …


    Emmeline was studying in the B University. Today, she was wearing a blue dress with her hairs


    hanging down beside her waist. Her big eyes were blue coupled with curly eyshes while her skin


    was fair. Obviously, she was a mixed blood.


    She still remembered clearly that her dad took her home when she was only five years old. At that


    moment, her stepmom shouted, "Where did you get this bastard? With another foreign bitch? Nichs


    Campbell, exin to me!"


    Nichs held her hand tightly and stared at her shouting stepmom, "From now on, she is my daughter!


    If you dare to stir up troubles, you gotta get the hell out of here!"


    Thanks to the dignity of her father, she finally had a house to stay.


    From then on, she called Lucia mom and addressed Anayah as sister. However, when Nichs wasn''t


    home, both her stepmom and sister would do everything they could to torture her.


    They fagged her like a servant and forced her to eat leftover. However, Emmeline still didn''tin.


    She just simply bore all pain and difficulties because she needed to survive out of hunger.


    So she had been living in such a family for fifteen years.


    A year ago, she was finally admitted to her dream university. Under the protection of her dad, she


    finally had the chance to study together with her ssmates


    After ss, Emmeline, Lena Moss and Agnes Jones were all heading out of the campus. Both of them


    were the ssmates and the best friends of Emmeline.


    When they reached the gate, someone shouted, "Emmeline, wait!"


    A warm and sexy voice sounded from behind. All of them turned around at the same time and noticed


    that it was Antonio Thomas who was running towards them with a smile. And he was holding a little


    box.


    "Here you are."


    He handed Emmeline the little box.


    "What''s that? Hey, Antonio, what gift did you give her again?" Agnes grabbed it immediately.


    "Hey…" Antonio was rendered anxious when seeing that.


    "Come on, Agnes! Stop! That the gift for Emmeline!" Antonio was about to take it back from


    her.
