Connor looked at the three of them one more time, then calmly slipped his hand into the pocket of his worn out pajama pants and brought out his phone.The movement alone made Lena scoff.“What now?” she asked mockingly. “Are you calling your supervisor to complain about us?”Connor did not look at her immediately. He unlocked his phone slowly and said in a calm, measured voice, “I just need some clarification.”“Clarification about what?” Mr. Montgomery demanded sharply.Connor lifted his gaze and met theirs.“About who really invited you here.”Mrs. Montgomery gasped dramatically.“Did you hear him?” she exclaimed, turning to Lena. “Your trashy ex-husband is calling us a mistake.”Lena’s jaw tightened instantly at the words trashy ex-husband.She looked at Connor with burning eyes.“Are you stupid?” she asked through gritted teeth. “Did you just say that to my prestigious family?”Connor let out a low scoff.“We will see how prestigious you are soon enough,” he replied evenly.Lena’s

Connor stood tall and composed, his hands clasped loosely behind his back as he faced the Montgomery family.“I suggest,” he said calmly, “that you wait here until the delivery man arrives. Everything will be clarified shortly.”Lena let out an irritated sigh.“We do not have your time,” she replied sharply. “We did not come here to entertain your delusions.”Mr. Montgomery nodded in agreement. “We were invited to this event, and we will proceed accordingly.”Connor’s expression did not shift. “Very well. You may sit. But do not leave this hall.”Lena rolled her eyes. “As if you have the authority to restrict us.”Without waiting for his response, she turned sharply and walked toward one of the luxurious sofas in the sitting room. Her parents followed closely behind her. The three of them sat down confidently, crossing their legs and adjusting their outfits as though nothing unusual had happened.Lena glanced around the grand hall with satisfaction. “Look at this place,” she said smug

The atmosphere in the Winchester Mansion had shifted completely.Guests who had just arrived stood at a distance, pretending not to stare, but their eyes were fixed on the scene unfolding in the sitting hall.Connor remained calm in the center of it all.The Montgomery family stood surrounded by security guards, their pride hanging by a thread.Connor looked at them steadily and spoke in a firm, controlled tone.“You should stop dragging this out and embarrassing yourselves.”Lena’s chest rose and fell quickly.“Embarrassing ourselves?” she snapped. “You think this is our embarrassment?”Connor did not blink.“Yes,” he replied simply. “Because this can end quietly. Or it can end loudly.”Mr. Montgomery clenched his jaw. “You have no right to speak to us this way.”Connor turned to the security guards.“If they refuse to cooperate,” he said calmly, “pull them up from their seats and escort them out forcefully.”The words were not loud.But they carried authority.The guards nodded imme

Connor walked up the stairs and stood at the top of the staircase and watched through the tall glass windows as the Montgomery family was dragged beyond the gates of the Winchester Mansion. Lena was still shouting, her voice sharp and furious, while her father tried to maintain what little dignity he had left. Her mother looked completely shaken.Connor scoffed quietly.“They never learn,” he muttered under his breath.Harris stood a few steps behind him. “Should I reinforce the guest verification process, sir?” he asked respectfully.Connor shook his head. “No. It was an oversight. It won’t happen again.”“Yes, sir.”Connor turned away and continued walking upstairs without another word. His steps were slow and controlled..When he entered his bedroom, he shut the door softly behind him. He walked toward the bed, exhaling deeply.“I need a moment,” he murmured.He was just about to lie down when his phone vibrated sharply in his hand.Connor glanced at the screen.To his surprise it

John Parker walked calmly toward the room he had instructed Nina to assign to Iris the previous night. He had deliberately allowed her to rest, believing that exhaustion would make her less resistant and more reasonable in the morning.He paused briefly at her door before turning the handle and stepping inside.The sight that greeted him made him stop.Iris was not on the luxurious king-sized bed prepared for her. Instead, she sat on the cold floor, her back resting against the wall, her knees drawn up slightly, her arms wrapped around herself as though she were shielding her body from something invisible. Her hair was slightly disheveled, and her eyes were distant.“Good morning, Iris,” John said in a controlled, almost gentle tone.She did not respond.He stepped further into the room and closed the door quietly behind him. “I hope you were able to rest,” he continued, pretending not to notice her deliberate silence. “I thought it would be best to let you sleep. We have an importa

Iris stood rigidly in the middle of the corridor, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she faced John Parker. “I am telling you clearly,” Iris said, her voice steady despite the fury burning in her eyes, “I will never wear any wedding dress for you. If you want me in that church, you will have to drag me there like a prisoner.”John let out a long, controlled sigh as though he were dealing with an unreasonable child. “You are being stubborn for reasons that will not benefit you,” he replied calmly. “You are fighting against something that is already decided.”“Decided by who?” she demanded sharply. “By you? You do not get to decide my life because you transferred money into someone’s account.”His expression tightened slightly, though he kept his tone measured. “You exhaust yourself with this resistance, Iris. You are wasting energy that you should be reserving for tomorrow.”She gave a bitter laugh. “Do not worry about my energy. You should be worried about your reputation. I pro

Connor remained seated at the edge of his bed, his phone still in his hand, as the conversation with the mysterious man from the Facebook comment section continued. His expression was serious, and his posture had grown increasingly rigid with each passing message.On the screen, the man’s last message lingered:“What I want is very simple. Money.”Connor exhaled slowly before typing back.“Money is not a problem,” he wrote deliberately. “Tell me how much you want.”The reply did not come immediately. The small “typing” indicator blinked on and off, as though the man were carefully choosing his words.Finally, the message appeared.“One million dollars.”Connor’s eyes did not even blink. There was no hesitation in his reaction. Instead, he leaned back slightly and typed again.“That is acceptable. Start talking.”The response came almost instantly this time.“For security reasons, I cannot discuss this on Facebook. If you want information about John Parker, we will have to meet in per

Connor stepped out of the cab and stood still for a moment in front of the tall glass building that housed one of the most prestigious banks in the city. The structure shimmered under the afternoon sun, its exterior reflecting wealth and power. He adjusted the sleeves of the oversized shirt he was still wearing. It was the same outfit he had on earlier when Lena and her family had mocked him at the Winchester mansion.He looked down at himself briefly.Worn shirt. Pajama pants. Simple slippers.He had not bothered to change.“I do not have time for appearances,” he muttered quietly.Clutching his black card securely in his pocket, Connor walked through the automatic glass doors and into the bank.The air inside was cool and scented faintly with expensive perfume. Floors gleamed beneath bright lights. Customers sat in plush chairs, dressed in designer suits and elegant dresses. Conversations were hushed and refined.Connor walked straight toward the reception desk.The receptionist, a

Connor stepped out of the manager’s office with the black case of cash in his hand. The staff members he passed avoided eye contact, and the atmosphere inside the bank had completely shifted. What had begun as silent ridicule had turned into tense uncertainty.He walked a few steps, then paused and turned back toward the manager, who was still standing at the doorway of his office with an anxious expression.“Kindly follow me,” Connor said calmly.The manager stiffened immediately. “Is there… is there a problem, sir?” His voice trembled despite his attempt to sound composed.Connor’s expression remained neutral. “There is just a small issue outside that I would need you to handle personally.”The manager swallowed visibly. “Of course, sir. Please, lead the way.”Connor nodded and began walking toward the reception area. The manager followed closely behind him, repeatedly addressing him as “sir” in a tone that was now filled with caution and respect.The receptionist, who had earlie

The manager had already ordered her to gather her belongings and leave the premises immediately. He was so angry that he told the securities to come and drag her and her belongings out of the bank with immediate effect.The receptionist crying had grown louder, drawing the attention of everyone present.Connor then looked towards her direction and said again,“Perhaps next time, you should take the time to understand a person before judging them based on their appearance. Not everyone who looks simple is insignificant.”She nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face. “I understand now, sir. I promise I understand.”The manager stepped forward sharply. “That will be enough," he said to her. You heard the instruction. Get up immediately and leave this building, security!!! do your job.”She cried out to Connor desperately. “Please, sir. Please don't take my only source of livelihood from me. I have nothing else. I swear I have learned my lesson.”The manager’s expression hardene
