At that moment, Lena's sister Mira rushed onto the stage with people and had me restrained by a group.

My parents and my brother also immediately rushed over.

My dad shouted, "Someone come quick! My son's having another mental breakdown! Take him to the psychiatric hospital!"

My mom cried out, "My life is so hard! How did my perfectly good son become mentally ill? I don't even want to live anymore!"

My brother Alex hugged my waist and shouted, "Torres, please snap out of it! Today is your wedding day—you can't have an episode!"

Mental illness?

Fine.

On my wedding day, betrayed by everyone close to me, is that it?

I let out a sinister laugh, lowered my center of gravity, unified my stance, and suddenly raised my knee, slamming it hard into Alex's groin.

"Ahhhh!"

Alex screamed and instantly collapsed to his knees before me.

But no matter how good a fighter I was, I couldn't take on dozens of people.

Before long, they had me captured.

Then I was sent to a psychiatric hospital.

They used many straps to bind me to a chair. Only my family remained in the room, along with the sisters Lena and Mira.

As for Tony, he seemed too severely injured and was in the hospital.

Oh right, Alex had also gone to the hospital.

I looked at them almost maniacally and said, "Why are you doing this to me?"

No one spoke.

I continued shouting, "After all these years, haven't I been good to you?"

"You only have your current success because Alex gave up his studies so you could go to college!"

My mom shouted.

I laughed. "He failed every single subject since childhood. In the end, he got expelled for getting into a gang fight. Is it my fault he couldn't go to college? And I went to college on student loans and scholarships from the school and government. Did I spend a single cent of yours?"

My dad roared, "If you'd given that money to Alex to invest in cryptocurrency, he'd be a multimillionaire by now!"

Just as I expected, no matter what, they always favored Alex.

Lena covered her swollen face and sneered, "Torres, I'll be honest with you. Today's scene was all planned by us. Mira was the mastermind. The goal was to get you committed to a psychiatric hospital so Alex could take over your company. And the marriage alliance with my family will now be between Alex and Mira."

I glared at Mira. "I really underestimated you. You look so small and sweet, but you have the most vicious heart of all!"

Mira gave me a sweet smile. "It's all about money. You can't blame me for that."

Then she took out her phone and showed me many videos.

These videos all showed me losing my temper and smashing things.

Each time I lost my temper, it was because my parents deliberately provoked me, or because Alex had lost money gambling in Las Vegas.

But now, these would become evidence that I was mentally ill.

Lena closed her phone. "Oh, by the way, I'll have the doctor inject you with a certain drug. Even if you're not mentally ill, you'll be diagnosed as such."
