Disowned, I Rose Via a Water Jar

Betrayed by his brother Max and fiancée, Martin Byron was disowned and exiled to his late mother's dilapidated courtyard. There, he discovered a mysterious water jar connecting him to Erica Lucas in 1980. He traded future knowledge and scarce goods for her vintage treasures, amassing a swift fortune. When Max allied with Alan Donne to plot his downfall, Martin leveraged his foresight and preparation. With the backing of Rita Rusk, he turned their own schemes against them, forcing the villains to choke on their bitter fruit of defeat.
