At the age of ten, Penn had sneaked back home. Years of neglect had left the place in disarray. But he had quietly used his saved money to hire people to maintain and clean the house.
So, when he came back this time, the rooms were bright, clean, and even adorned with fresh flowers on the kitchen island.
His eyes stung. He went to the living room, inserted the memory card into the reader, and connected it to the computer.
Within a week, he had learned about his parents' last ten years of life through these cards.
He also learned about the grudges between his father and Natalie.
His father's family had not been wealthy in the early years.d2
With many mouths to feed and being the eldest, he had to shoulder more responsibilities.
The family's money was just enough to keep them afloat. Furthering his education seemed out of reach. For a while, his grandmother had taken up a temporary job.
A wealthy lady from the H Country had come on a business trip but had given birth prematurely. She needed an experienced H Country woman to care for her during her confinement.
The wealthy lady was Natalie, and the premature baby was Ayden.
Penn's grandmother was gentle and meticulous in her care, and she seldom spoke. She quickly won Natalie's liking.
With the increase in their parents' salaries, the family's living conditions significantly improved.
Osmond did not disappoint Natalie either. With outstanding grades, he got into one of the best universities at the time. During college, he majored in psychology, and Natalie donated a research institute to him. This enabled Osmond to devote himself entirely to research without any worries.
Osmond didn't disappoint Natalie. Over the next ten years, he published dozens of authoritative papers and became internationally renowned. Meanwhile, Osmond's father started a business under Natalie's guidance. Catching the wave, the Lange family made a leap in their social class.
Osmond was engrossed in his research. It was not until he was thirty-five that he fell in love and married Penn's mother, who had just joined the research institute.
That same year, Ayden Silverman fell ill.
