32. The Ending
Brian gave a wry smile.“You … can’t back out now, Connery.”Connery slammed his fist on the table and stormed out of the room. The man finally came to his senses. He had merely been used by Brian to trap his own family. It had all been meticulously planned by the young man. Filled with rage, he left J-Company and hurried back to J-House.He packed his things and left J-House without saying goodbye. An hour later, he arrived at his father’s house and was met with Hector’s cold stare.“You’ve come to your senses?”Connery sighed softly. “This isn’t the time to mock me. “What matters now is that we find a way to thwart his plan.”“We can’t.” Alfred said as he came down the stairs.Connery swallowed hard, “Dad, I’m sorry. I’ve been so stupid. I-”“That doesn’t matter anymore. As you said, what we need to do now is … turn the tables,” Alfred cut in impatiently.Connery nodded with relief. “I’ve studied everything. And … I think I know how to turn the situation in our favor,” Connery e
31. Why Me?
Alfred turned slowly and replied, “Yes.”Hector began to understand where the conversation was heading.Hector’s face tensed. “So … he actually did it on purpose?”Alfred gave a slight nod. “He wanted Connery to find all of that.”Hector clenched his fists tightly. “Why would he do that?”Alfred said in a cold tone, “He wants us to fall into Connery’s hands.”The atmosphere in the room suddenly felt heavier.Hector took a deep breath. “Then we have to stop him, Dad.”Alfred was silent for a moment, “We’ll meet with Connery tomorrow.”The next morning, Alfred’s black car pulled up in front of the main building of J-Company. He arrived with Hector, who wore a sour expression as they entered the grounds of the massive corporate complex.Their steps were quick and purposeful. But as soon as they reached the floor where Connery worked, they stopped.Two burly men stood in front of the door to Connery’s office. Their gazes were cold, their stances firm.Hector immediately stepped forward. “
30. That Big Project
“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
29. The Most Powerful Weapon
Brian went up to the floor where Connery was.Brian’s footsteps could be heard approaching, calm and measured.“I’m sorry you had to hear all that,” Brian said softly.Connery gave a wry smile without turning his head. “It’s not your fault. Why are you apologizing, Brian?”Brian didn’t answer right away. He stood beside the sofa, looking down at Connery with an expression that was hard to read.“They’re your family, Connery. Hearing them talk like that, you must have .…”“It’s fine. Besides, I know them much better than you do, Brian.”Brian fell silent.But then he asked, “And now? What are you going to do, Connery?A moment of silence filled the room.Connery looked down, his hands clenched tightly together. But slowly, his grip loosened. He lifted his head, staring straight ahead. “I’m going to prove them wrong.”His tone wasn’t loud. It wasn’t emotional. But that was precisely what made it sound stronger.Brian watched closely, his eyes narrowing slightly.“Prove what?” he repeat
28. You started this, Uncle!
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
27. Just Talk to Me!
Hector clenched his fists, furious. He was still staring at his brother, who was with Brian. “You’re a real jerk, Brian!”Without another word, he turned quickly, intending to leave the building.“Connery … are you stupid or something?” he muttered under his breath before finally walking away from the building.Meanwhile, inside the car, the atmosphere was the complete opposite.Connery glanced at Brian, who looked relaxed as he read the newspaper.A few minutes later, they arrived at a fairly quiet and exclusive restaurant. As soon as they sat down, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.Connery leaned back slightly. “To be honest … I still can’t quite believe all this.”“What exactly?” Brian asked as he opened the menu.“Everything. From last night until now. I got kicked out, then suddenly ended up at J-House, and now … I’m in charge of a project that big.”Brian nodded slowly. “Life often doesn’t give us time to adjust.”Connery gave a faint smile. “You sound like an old man, B
