My family spent three years laughing at me for being a janitor while I quietly sat on $280 million in lottery money. I kept the uniform, the old Corolla, and the basement room because I wanted to know if they loved me without status. Yesterday, they called me a disgrace and kicked me out. Today, I returned in a Bugatti to pick up my boxes—and my father fainted when he saw my face.

I did not take anything that was not mine, but I simply stopped holding up the things that were ready to collapse.

The next morning, I drove a matte black luxury car to my parents’ house to reclaim my name.

Colton opened the door in his robe and looked at the car and my tailored suit with pure confusion.

I walked past him and into the living room where my father was coming down the stairs looking exhausted.

Arthur Pendergast, the interim CEO of Horizon Power, entered behind me with a team of associates.

He inclined his head and greeted me as Mr. Miller, and my father froze at the sound of that respect.

Arthur announced that Zenith Crest Holdings now controlled the company and that major changes were happening.

“Julian is the owner of the entity that saved this house and your foundation,” Eleanor explained to my mother.
