Chapter 21
Connor walked steadily toward the Montgomery gate. The moment he reached the halfway point between the mansion and the gate, a deep, smooth engine sound rolled across the compound, loud enough to make everyone look toward the entrance.The sound was unmistakably powerful — deeper, smoother, richer than anything commonly heard on that street — and it grew louder with each passing second. The Montgomery family, who had been frozen in shock inside the mansion moments ago, suddenly began emerging one by one, as though drawn by the invisible pull of curiosity and disbelief.Mr. Montgomery stepped out first, adjusting his suit jacket nervously as he looked toward the gate. His brows furrowed deeply, a sign that he was already trying to calculate who might be arriving in such an expensive machine. Mrs. Montgomery followed immediately after him, her eyes narrowing as she clutched her handbag tightly against her chest, as if a VIP visitor arriving unannounced in her compound somehow threatened
Chapter 22
The Montgomerys and Benjamin stood, unable to process the scene unfolding before their eyes. The sun reflected brightly off the polished silver edges of the car, making it even harder for them to believe that what they were witnessing was real. Lena kept blinking rapidly, raising a trembling hand to her forehead as if she could rub away the absurd image in front of her. Her confusion was so overwhelming that she finally grabbed Benjamin’s arm tightly and asked again, “Benjamin… please tell me I am hallucinating… because this cannot be happening. Not in real life.”Benjamin suddenly burst into laughter, a loud, confident laughter that echoed across the compound and immediately drew the attention of Lena’s parents. He seemed almost relieved that he had found something to anchor himself to, something that allowed him to feel superior again. He wiped his eyes lightly and shook his head as he said, “Lena, relax. You are not hallucinating.” Then he chuckled again, as if the very idea amused

The interior of the Rolls-Royce felt unusually quiet, as though the thick, luxurious walls of the vehicle absorbed every sound from the outside world. Connor sat back in the wide leather seat, trying to steady his breathing after the chaos at the Montgomery mansion, but his thoughts were still racing.He glanced toward Harris, who was seated in the driver’s seat with both hands gripping the steering wheel a little too tightly. The man’s usually calm expression had been replaced with something strained, a hint of urgency that Connor did not miss.“Harris,” Connor finally said, breaking the silence. “We talked about this. We agreed very clearly that you would keep everything low-profile. We agreed you would not come to pick me up with something so flashy. So tell me… why did you come with this car? Why this particular model? Why today of all days?”Harris exhaled deeply, the sound of his breath audible even over the smooth hum of the powerful engine. “Young Master,” he began slowly, cho

Harris nodded without hesitation, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. “Young Master, anything you want concerning the Montgomerys will be handled immediately,” he replied. “You only need to tell me what you want done.”Connor inhaled deeply, recalling the frantic conversation he overheard back at the mansion. “Before I left the house,” he began, “I heard the Montgomery family talking about a company called DC Enterprises. They seemed desperate, almost panicked, about acquiring it. Lena said that losing the company would be a major blow to them and that buying it would bring them a massive advantage. I want to know more about it. Look into that company and tell me why they want it so badly.”Harris let out a short, deep laugh — not mocking, but amused, as if Connor had just brought up a topic he already knew like the back of his hand. “Young Master,” he said with a slight chuckle, “there is no need for me to research anything about DC Enterprises. I already know every detail about it.”C
Chapter 25
A heavy silence settled in the car after Harris asked what they were supposed to do now, and for several long seconds, Connor did not respond. He stared straight ahead, his expression cold, as though he were replaying the Montgomery family’s smug expressions in his mind — the way they mocked him, the way they treated the acquisition of DC Enterprises as if it were some trophy meant to elevate them above everyone else, including him. A faint tension settled in his shoulders before he finally spoke in a calm voice.“Harris,” he said slowly, “I am not backing down from buying that company.”Harris’s brows lifted slightly, and he glanced toward Connor through the rearview mirror. “Young Master, you want to continue pursuing the acquisition… even though the Montgomery family already paid for it?”“Exactly,” Connor said, his tone deepening. “They think they have won. They think they have secured something that will put them ahead of the world. They think they have outsmarted me.” He paused
Chapter 26
The ride to the headquarters of DC Enterprises had been quiet for most of the journey, with Harris driving smoothly and Connor sitting in the back seat, staring out of the tinted window as the city passed by. But the moment they approached the massive glass building that housed the company’s main offices, the car suddenly gave a strained sound, like a cough from the engine, and began to lose speed until it eventually rolled to a complete stop right before they reached the main entrance.Connor felt the shift immediately. He glanced up from the window and leaned forward slightly. “Harris,” he said calmly, “why did we stop?”Harris looked genuinely troubled as he checked a few buttons and glanced at the dashboard, then turned to Connor with an apologetic expression.“Young Master, I am truly sorry,” he said, his voice respectful and slightly tense. “It appears the car has suddenly developed a fault. I don’t know what exactly happened, but the engine is no longer responding. I tried re
Chapter 27
Lena rolled her eyes at Connor who had ignored her question. She then remembered what Connor had said to her earlier about what if she failed to secure the company and her carefully lined brows drew together in an expression that mixed irritation, confusion, and a kind of superiority that she wore like a crown. She shifted her weight from one heel to the other, crossed her arms with a dramatic sigh, and then uncrossed them again because she could not understand why Connor was standing there so calmly after saying something so ridiculous. Her voice rose a little as she demanded.“Connor, what are you even talking about? What do you mean what if we fail to secure the company? Are you sick or something? Is that what this is about? You think because you walked into this building you suddenly have the right to make nonsense predictions?”She scoffed loudly, tilting her head as she looked him up and down with a mixture of disgust and amusement, as though she were examining someone far ben
Chapter 28
Lena could not understand why Connor was standing there with that strangely calm expression on his face, an expression that made her feel as though he knew something she didn’t, something she was supposed to know, something she should have realized by now but for some reason still couldn’t grasp. Her irritation grew the longer he stayed quiet, and finally she snapped, her voice coming out sharper as she demanded, “Why are you looking at me like that? What is that supposed to mean?”Connor’s voice came out low, measured, and frustratingly calm. “I only asked if you were sure the payment receipt you’re bragging about is still valid.”Lena blinked at him, startled for a moment, and then forced herself to scoff, even though his tone had placed a strange weight on her chest. “What kind of stupid question is that?” she fired back, lifting her chin. “Of course it’s valid. I literally just showed you the confirmation.”Connor didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t smirk. He simply spoke as though
Chapter 29
The owner of DC Enterprises stood there, breathing heavily from shouting at the Montgomerys, his chest rising and falling in uneven motions, the veins on his neck still visibly tense, and when Lena demanded loudly for an explanation, he slowly turned his head toward her with a look that held equal parts irritation and disbelief, as though he could not understand why she still had the confidence to question him after everything that had already happened. She lifted her chin stubbornly and planted her hands on her hips, refusing to be embarrassed in front of Connor or anyone else, and with a sharp, clipped voice she asked again, “Why are you treating my family like this? Why are you talking as if we did something wrong?”The man scoffed loudly, shaking his head as if he were dealing with someone who simply refused to think. “Wrong?” he repeated, his voice rising again. “You people were trying to ruin my business!”Lena’s eyes widened, and she stepped forward. “Ruin your business?” she
Chapter 30
Connor had just begun to follow the owner of DC Enterprises upstairs when a sharp tug on his hand froze him mid-step. He turned his head slightly, just enough to see Lena standing before him, her eyes blazing with fury and confusion. She gripped his wrist firmly, her nails pressing slightly into his skin, but not hard enough to hurt—yet the gesture carried a weight of authority and entitlement that only Lena could muster.“What is going on here?” she demanded, her voice sharp and commanding, leaving no room for hesitation. “Connor, why are you following him as if you belong to him? What is your connection to him? I want answers—right now!”Connor’s gaze remained calm, steady, and unnervingly composed. He didn’t flinch, didn’t tighten his jaw, and didn’t even raise his voice. Instead, he lifted one hand and lightly placed it on the owner’s shoulder. The subtle gesture was enough—the man immediately understood Connor’s silent instruction: do not reveal anything to her.The owner’s eyes
