Jack is a twenty-year-old lad who is the adopted son of fraudster Jenny, who has been in the slammer no less than a hundred times. From a young age, Jack learned from Jenny that he was the son of her rich relative Cole, but because his parents had many children, and Jenny desperately wanted a child, finally under her stalking, gave her little Jack.
Jack hated Jenny because every time she received a letter from his parents, she first confiscated the letter, and only after taking away the gifts inside, then returned the letter to him, sometimes without even giving it to him. The angrier is that she never took his parents, so he did not even know what his parents looked like, so Jack resented her.
At that moment, shocking news shook Jack - the police wrote that his parents had both died of diseases, and several siblings who had inherited his millions had also died of diseases. Strangely enough, they all had the same disease. And the disease is not contagious! So Jack became the heir to the million-dollar inheritance, which he shared with his adoptive mother.
Terror struck him and kept him on the edge of his seat, and this terror came from his adoptive mother Jenny. Because he had once passed by Jenny's door by chance, he heard her on the phone with a man, the phone call said: "killed all?" So Jack suspected that it was all a plot by his foster mother, and thought that the death of his parents and siblings must have been poisoned by her!
"That's right." Jack suddenly thought: "foster mother every month to send tea to the parents' house, could it be poison in the tea, which must be a kind of chronic poison, only accumulate more will attack." He could not help but be surprised again, he did not also drink her tea every day. But when he took it to the laboratory, the test could not find anything. Why didn't my adoptive mother poison the tea she gave me? Is there a more sinister plan?
From then on, Jack worried all day long, and finally decided to simply kill his adoptive mother. One can avenge the parents, the second can also get her hands on the inheritance. So that day Jack found a way to get a time bomb through a small gang leader in the school and get a sense of inexplicable excitement. He even laughed maniacally, and after sobering up, even he did not know why he was laughing. The exhilaration supported his immediate action, and at night, when Jenny was not at home, the time bomb was planted in her room.
But just as the bomb was planted, Jack felt a flash, a camera flash, someone. Someone was taking pictures! Jack immediately became nervous, but could not find anyone. Finally, he had to reassure himself that it was just a lightning bolt! And there was no lightning that day!
Jack set the time on the time bomb at 11:00 pm. Because he knew that his foster mother had already gone home from her late shift. After everything was ready, Jack hid in a place far from home, but where he could see home. From there he watched the home. Finally, the light he was expecting came on, and he knew it was his foster mother coming home from work, and couldn't help but snicker: "Just a quarter of an hour you're going to the West."
To pass the remaining 15 minutes, Jack opened the letter he had just received. He soon found that his adoptive mother had written it, and soon he was shocked by the words on the letter, his face was white and his mouth kept trembling. The letter reads: Jack, I can't stand it anymore, I have to tell you you are my real son. I know you will blame me and have been blaming me. But I also have bitterness. The reason I didn't tell you is that I was afraid you would be called the son of a swindler. Thus you will give up on yourself and sink. So I lied to you. I don't want you to repeat my mistake. You know your grandmother was a fraud, and I was scolded by people since I was a child, and eventually, I chose the same path as my mother because I gave up on myself. I don't want that to happen to you! Granted, then you would hate me and even want to kill me. Jack, you don't blame me for not giving you the letters from your mom and dad, do you? You know those were all made up by me to lie to you to give you hope of survival. Making up the inheritance is to relieve you of the pressure of having no money and to give you hope to live.
