Yu Cheng's face flushed with shame and anger. He couldn't believe he had been so ignorant. He was aware of the Covenantor Distribution Center's reputation, yet he had failed to see the connection. His own son, once the heir to the Yu family, had been treated as nothing more than property, publicly auctioned off like an object.
If Alex hadn't been taken in by Wu Xiufan, Yu Ze would have suffered the same fate. The humiliation, the abuse, the utter disregard for his humanity – it was a fate too horrific to contemplate.
The Yu family, desperate to maintain their reputation, would have been forced to disown Yu Ze, leaving him to fend for himself.
The weight of his realization crushed Yu Cheng, his body trembling with the force of his emotions. He had failed his son, his family. The shame was unbearable.
