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
26. Just Focus on the Project!
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
25. This Game Has Only Just Begun!
Connery frowned at the warning. However, after everything that had happened tonight, he didn’t feel he was in a position to make any demands.He nodded slowly, immediately agreeing to the rules set by Brian Jones. After all, he’d been given a place to stay for free. And besides, the place he was staying at was J-House. A place ranked among the ten most luxurious in the city.“Alright. I promise I won’t cause any trouble. I just need a temporary place to stay, Brian.”Brian stared at him for a few seconds, as if making sure Connery was truly serious. After that, the young man gave a faint smile.“Good. As long as you stick to those rules, you won’t have any problems here, Connery.”Connery nodded again.A servant then approached and said politely, “Mr. Connery’s room is ready, Young Master.”Brian nodded at the servant, “Show Mr. Connery to the room on the fourth floor now.”The servant bowed. “Yes, Young Master.”“Please follow me, Mr. Connery,” the servant continued.Connery stood u
24. Are You Really Not Joking?
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
