He sighed and confessed, “I come from the countryside and started out as a henchman, same as Haley's father. Both of us come from poor families. When we were kids, it wasn't easy for our parents to afford the tuition of primary school, let alone high school and college. How could a rich Lady like you understand the value of the chance to study? You would never understand how hard it was for the poor Like us.

Haley's father and I were in the same class. We were seatmates. We treated each other like family. After our middle school graduation, I went to Look for a job in the city while Haley's father joined the army. In the beginning, we were both frugal and diligent. Over a decade later, we both had our own families. We were so busy with our respective Lives that we didn't have the time to visit each other, so we only kept in contact through letters."

Hearing this, Haley was utterly dumbfounded.

He murmured in a daze, "How... How come I didn't know about this?" Reece ignored him and continued, "Finally, I managed to save some money by running a small business. One day, I received terrible news—Haley's father had died in a rescue mission. Haley's mother wrote to me, saying that Haley had dropped out of school and come to Sheffield to work. She asked me if I could help her son settle down.

I didn't plan to open an electronic shop at first because, like I said earlier, I'm not well-educated. I knew little about electronic products. But Haley's mother mentioned in the letter that Haley used to work at an Internet cafe in Sheffield as a network administrator. I wanted Haley to hone his skills, so I used up all my savings to open my store. I wanted him to do something he was good at."

At this, Reece couldn't help but sigh.

"Although, it didn't take Long before I found out that Haley's computer skills aren't as good as I thought. Still, I paid him twice the amount of his peers, and I kept telling him to hone his technical skills. Unfortunately, he didn't listen to my advice.”

Haley's expression gradually darkened.

He remembered that a few years ago, Reece had come to the Internet cafe he worked at to see him. Reece had said he needed technical staff for an electronic shop and even offered a high salary for the position.

At that time, Haley thought that he could make a fortune by playing this ignorant man.

As for whether he was capable enough for this position or his ability to learn and catch up with the advances in technology, Haley paid little attention.

“But. spoke.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Haley's voice trembled as he

“Because your mother mentioned in the letter that you're a very proud kid," Reece said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with hatred.

"I was worried that you wouldn't accept my help if I was honest with you, so I pretended not to know you at all. Haley, you are nothing Like your father. Your father was a reliable man. He worked hard and was a good student. If it weren't for the fact that his family couldn't afford the tuition then, he would have been able to go to college!"

The more frustrated Reece became, the higher he raised his voice.

“For your father's sake, I didn't hold you accountable for stealing from me. I only deducted from your salary and fired you. But how could you be so ungrateful as to help other people frame Maria? You disappoint me!"

Everyone was enlightened. Haley's face was deathly pale. He already Looked quite sickly as soon as he showed up here, but now, he looked like a zombie.

"I..." he faltered in a trembling voice. "I... I was wrong. I won't do it again. But it wasn't me who planned this. It was—"

Before Haley could finish his words, two strong men led by Reuben suddenly rushed forward and grabbed him. The next second, Haley was thrown on the floor and subdued.

His mouth was gagged, so he couldn't say another word.

At this time, Mrs. Jenkins suddenly spoke. "It turns out that this malicious person tried to framed Maria. Fortunately, we know the truth now. The Jenkins family won't wrong a good person, nor shall we let go of those who wrong us."

Right on cue, Reuben stepped forward and said loudly, "Mrs. Jenkins, just give me the order.”

Mrs. Jenkins looked at him with satisfaction.
