Conor met her gaze. “Because if they learn about this now, they’ll come running.” Olivia fell silent. She knew he was right. Emma and her grandpa Ronan had looked down on her for years. They had mocked her, humiliated her, and treated her like she was worthless. If they suddenly discovered that she now controlled Titan Group… They would never leave her alone. Conor continued calmly, “People like them don’t respect family. They respect power. And the moment they realize you possess it, they’ll suddenly remember that you’re their daughter.” Olivia frowned immediately. She couldn’t understand. “Why keep it a secret?” she asked. “Now that I finally have enough power, why continue hiding?” She looked at Conor in confusion. “If everyone knew the truth, wouldn’t they stop looking down on me? Wouldn’t Grandpa finally regret everything he did? Wouldn’t Emma lose that arrogant look on her face?” A part of her wanted the whole city to know. She wanted everyone who had mocked

The solid wooden desk shook violently. “Damn that useless brat!” Without another word, he pressed the intercom. “Tell Carl to come downstairs.” The servant’s hesitant voice came through. “M-Master… Young Master Carl returned to his room about thirty minutes ago.” “He also gave strict orders that no one was to disturb him. He said he wasn’t feeling well and wished to be left alone.” “I don’t care.” Victor’s voice was colder than winter frost. “Drag him down if you have to. I want him standing in front of me. Immediately.” “Y-Yes, Master.” The servant hurried away. Inside the mansion, everyone who heard Victor’s furious roar instinctively lowered their heads. None of them dared make a sound. Less than two minutes later… Hurried footsteps echoed throughout the hallway. Carl hurried into the study. The moment he stepped inside, he noticed the terrifying atmosphere. His father’s face was so dark it looked ready to explode. Several senior members of the fa

He blinked several times, convinced he was seeing things. “What are they doing here?” His gaze swept over the magnificent Titan Group headquarters before returning to the pair. Then… disbelief quickly turned into contempt. A cold sneer appeared on his lips. “What a joke.” He couldn’t understand it. How could people like Conor and Olivia possibly appear outside Titan Group’s headquarters? In his eyes… Conor was still the same worthless loser. An unemployed nobody. Someone who survived only because Olivia worked to support him. As for Olivia… Even if she had found a decent job, there was no way someone of her status could enter a place like Titan Group’s executive offices. Carl folded his arms and laughed mockingly. “So that’s it…” His smile grew increasingly sarcastic. “They came to try their luck.” He looked at Conor with complete disdain. “You actually dragged Olivia here? I didn’t think you could sink this low.” He slowly walked toward them, the mocki

For the first time since arriving at Titan Group… Carl felt genuine panic creeping into his heart.Conor looked at Carl with complete indifference. His denial meant nothing.The Winston Family had already confessed everything.They had admitted that Carl was the one who had revealed Lily’s blood type.They had admitted that he was the one who convinced them she was a perfect match.Whether Carl confessed now or continued to lie… It would change absolutely nothing.To Conor, Carl was merely making one last, pathetic attempt to save himself.Beside him, Olivia’s expression grew colder with each passing second.Her fists slowly clenched at her sides, and her chest rose and fell as she struggled to keep the fury threatening to erupt under control.She had always known Carl was selfish, arrogant, and hypocritical.But this… This was beyond anything she had ever imagined.She had never thought he could be so despicable.She took a slow step forward.“Carl…”Her voice was frighteningly calm,

Carl’s threat lingered in the air even after he turned away.His final warning had not sounded like an empty attempt to save face.There had been something darker beneath his words.Something that made Olivia’s heart tighten.She watched his retreating figure disappear toward the parking lot, her fingers slowly curling into fists.A faint uneasiness settled over her.Carl had always been arrogant, selfish, and shameless.But today, she had seen something different in his eyes.Hatred.Real hatred.And that frightened her.She instinctively glanced at Conor.For the first time, she wondered whether Carl would actually do something reckless.What if he targeted Lily again?What if he tried to hurt Conor?What if he went after her mother or someone else in her family simply because he could no longer control the situation?The thought made her stomach twist.Conor noticed the change in her expression immediately.He did not need to ask what she was thinking.He could see the worry writte
