Brian didn't expect his uncle to be so slow to digest his words. However, Brian replied casually, "Uncle, how could I joke about something like this?" Alfred snorted and was about to protest, but Brian spoke again, "You only have two choices, Uncle. Accept my decision and I won't bring up the X542 file, or ... oppose my decision and I'll investigate the case thoroughly."Alfred froze.Connery swallowed nervously.If the case was investigated, not only would his father suffer, but he would also likely be dragged into the case. So, slowly, he touched his father's hand and said pleadingly, "Dad, just accept it!"Alfred snorted and angrily pushed his son's hand away. Staring at the monitor screen furiously, Alfred said, "I accept my transfer for now, but ... I won't stay quiet."Brian smiled. "All right, Uncle."Alfred gritted his teeth."Then what are you waiting for, Uncle?"Alfred furrowed his brow."I'm sure you ... already know where the exit is, right?"Alfred's face turned red,

Connery's eyes widened in shock at what his father had done. "Father, are you kicking me out?"Hector snorted, "You ... after betraying us, it seems you've become stupid. You really don't understand human language, Connery?"Connery ignored his brother's words and instead stared at his father, who refused to look at him. He said again, "Father, are you really kicking me out? You don't trust me anymore?""Go! You ... I've crossed you off my family list!" Alfred said cruelly.Connery was stunned, not expecting his father to be serious about it.He never imagined that his own father would need him like that. In fact, everything he did was purely to help his family. However, apparently it never meant anything to his family.He felt that everything he had done was in vain.With a heavy heart, he said, "All right, Father. I'm leaving."After saying that, Connery turned to walk out. However, before he reached the door, Alfred said, "Leave all your things behind. You ... have no right to ta

The next morning at J-House, Connery Jones woke up earlier than usual.He remembered exactly what had happened the night before. Not only had his father kicked him out, but Brian had offered to let him stay at J-House.Connery exhaled softly. “At least I still have one person who’s helping me.”Before he had a chance to go to the bathroom, a servant knocked on his door and asked permission to prepare everything he needed.Connery Jones was incredibly surprised by the service at the residence of J-House’s sole heir.‘No wonder my father was so eager to take control of this place.’As soon as he finished freshening up, a male servant in a neat black uniform approached him, “Mr. Connery, Young Master Brian would like to see you on the fifth floor.”Connery was a little surprised. “Now?”The servant nodded. “Yes, Sir.”“All right, I’ll be right there.”A few minutes later, Connery was already on the fifth floor of J-House.Brian was standing near his desk in a neat suit, looking as if he

Brian slipped both hands into his pants pockets; his demeanor was relaxed, but his gaze was sharp.“I just want to make sure of one thing,” he said quietly, staring intently at his uncle without blinking. “Why do you want to talk to Connery?”Alfred snorted, “My business with my son is none of your concern, you little brat.”Brian sighed casually, “You … just want to hold Connery back, don’t you? You don’t want Connery to thrive?”Alfred laughed bitterly, “Hold Connery back so he doesn’t thrive? Do you think I’m some petty father?”Brian raised an eyebrow slightly. “Isn’t that what you’ve always done?”Hector immediately took a step forward. “Don’t act like you know everything about our family, Brian! You’ve barely even met Connery.”Brian smiled thinly. “Really? Or am I the first one to truly see his potential?”Those words made Hector fall silent for a moment, then his face hardened instantly.“Nonsense,” he replied coldly. “What is Connery? Since when has he had abilities worth br

“Young Master, what do you need right now? Do I need to-”“No, Joe. You don’t need to do anything. You’ve done your part, and that’s enough.”Joe Maiden nodded in understanding. He knew full well that the young master would certainly come looking for him if he actually needed his help. If he wasn’t needed at the moment, then he would wait.The following week, Brian Jones had already observed Connery’s performance, his cousin, to whom he had entrusted a major responsibility.That afternoon, via a monitor in his office, he was watching Connery standing at the long conference table, leading a meeting. The meeting was discussing the major project he was currently handling.Surrounding him, several special staff members handpicked by Brian sat with serious expressions.A woman with short hair opened her tablet. “Mr. Connery, I’m Elena. I’ve been specifically assigned as the financial analyst for this project.”The bespectacled man next to her nodded. “I’m Rafael, from internal audit.”Con
