Richard and Cassy are the male and female protagonists in the thrilling urban novel "Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir". In this novel, Richard is a disabled yet tenacious man. He rides his old delivery bike shuttling through the streets of Los Angeles every day, working as a delivery guy and a waiter, struggling to make a living in this bustling city just to support his family. Cassy, on the other hand, is a woman born into a wealthy family and spoiled by her relatives. She is used to a luxurious life, has a wayward and vain personality, and gradually loses herself in the whirlpool of material desires, forgetting her original intention and true feelings. This novel tells a tortuous story about Richard and Cassy that changes from sweet to broken and then ushers in a turning point in despair.
The story begins on a sweltering summer day. The streets of Los Angeles are noisy, and Richard is as busy with his work as usual. Although Mrs. Clark, his boss, is strict with him, considering his disability and still willing to give him a job opportunity, he is full of gratitude in his heart. Coincidentally, it is the fifth wedding anniversary of him and Cassy on this day. Even though Cassy's attitude has been getting worse after marriage and she even hates their biological daughter Melvin for no reason, Richard still cherishes the affection of the past and wants to try his best to save this crumbling marriage. He went to the famous jewelry store El Passion in high spirits, planning to choose a gift that could make Cassy change her mind. However, fate always seems to play tricks on him. In the store, he ran into Selina Williams, Cassy's friend who has always disliked him. Taking this opportunity, Selina humiliated him severely, mocking him for being so poor that he couldn't afford anything in the store and even maliciously speculating that he was here to steal. Although Richard was full of grievance and anger, he chose to endure it in order not to cause trouble. Finally, he bought the bracelet that Cassy had once liked in another jewelry store.
When he returned home full of hope, he found that his daughter Melvin had a high fever. Fortunately, the kind old lady next door enthusiastically helped take care of her. At night, Cassy's appearance broke the short-lived peace, but what she brought was not the warmth of a long-awaited reunion, but a cold divorce agreement. She spoke harshly, mercilessly accusing Richard that his existence was a mistake and speaking ill of their daughter, saying bluntly that she regretted giving birth to her. Richard was heartbroken and pleaded bitterly. He took out the carefully prepared gift, but only got Cassy's disgust and contempt. She threw the valuable bracelet out of the window casually. Their daughter witnessed all this and burst into tears, and Richard's heart felt as if it was torn apart.
The next day, their daughter suddenly fainted at school. After being rushed to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed that she had mild leukemia and urgently needed an operation fee of twenty thousand dollars as well as a suitable bone marrow donor. Having no other way out, Richard swallowed his pride and turned to Cassy's family, the wealthy but arrogant and rude Parker family, for help. The Parker family had always regarded him as the lowest of the low, ridiculing and humiliating him in every possible way. But for the slim chance of saving his daughter's life, he chose to endure it silently. Cassy agreed to pay the money on the condition that Richard must sign the divorce papers. Richard had no choice but to agree. However, at this moment, another astonishing turn of events took place in fate.
It turned out that Richard used to be the young master of the prestigious "Dragon Empire" family. Five years ago, his father arranged for him to live incognito and endure hardships in the marketplace in order to temper him. Meanwhile, he secretly sent people to protect him, just to make him grow into a capable successor to the family. Now, Michael, his father's capable butler, showed up and told him that he had successfully passed the "poverty test" and hoped that he would return to the family and take over the huge family business. Richard firmly refused at first, but in the face of his daughter's life-and-death dilemma, he reached an agreement with the butler: if Cassy fulfilled her promise to pay the operation fee, he could delay his return to the family; if Cassy broke her promise, the family would settle everything for him and he would return immediately.
The next day, Richard received the divorce papers, signed them without hesitation, and sent them to the hospital. Then he went to the Parker Manor. The scene in front of him made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Cassy was intimately snuggling up to William Carter, with a dazzling new ring on her hand. Richard asked for the operation fee, but was ruthlessly rejected and viciously humiliated by the Parker family. Cassy even went back on her word and shirked responsibility by saying that she had no money. William also took the opportunity to kick and punch him, threatening him ferociously to take his daughter and disappear forever. Richard was filled with grief and indignation, and his world completely collapsed. At this time, the deadline of his agreement with the family was approaching. How should he choose? Should he bow to fate or fight back from a desperate situation?
This novel vividly depicts the complexity of human nature, the fragility of love, and the cruelty of reality. Whether Richard can break through numerous difficulties and save his daughter from the dire straits? The excitement of the story goes far beyond this.
