Although Brian didn't know Diana's intention in saying that, he didn't want to think about it.

The most important thing for him was to drag Edward away from there. Without saying a word to Diana, Brian then left that floor.

Brian chose an empty classroom that had never been used and pushed Edward inside and closed it from the inside.

"You ... do you really want to die, Jones?" Edward was very angry.

Brian only gave Edward a quick glance. "Tell me now! Did you run over my grandfather on purpose that night?"

Hearing that question, Edward instantly froze where he stood.

"Why are you bringing up something that happened a long time ago?"

Brian replied irritably, "It only happened a few days ago. Not long ago, Edward Stein."

Edward clucked his tongue. "Uh, damn you. Why should I answer that?"

Casually, Edward took a step towards the door but Brian stopped him. He stood right in front of the door.

"Damn it. Get out of the way! I'm going out, you bastard!"

"You'll never get out until you tell me what happened that night."

Edward gritted his teeth.

"Whether I tell you or not. Your grandfather is still dead, right? So what's the point, isn't it useless?"

This time Brian's patience was wearing thin.

A punch landed on Edward's right jaw.

Edward staggered backwards. "You ... want to go to the holding cell again, Jones?"

"I'm ready to go to the holding cell. So tell me now. Everything!" Brian commanded.

Edward was silent but when Brian raised his hand again, he quickly said, "Okay, I'll tell you."

Brian was reluctant to hit Edward.

"That night, I just wanted to teach you a lesson. I asked my driver to hit you, not your grandfather. But, I didn't intend to kill you either."

Brian remained silent, waiting for Edward's explanation to continue.

"My car's brakes suddenly failed so it was an accident. My driver didn't do it on purpose."

Edward swallowed nervously as Brian stared at him with a look as if he wanted to chop him up.

In the next second, Brian punched Edward several times in the stomach before finally leaving the room with a gasp.

He rushed for air to keep his chest from tightening.

"Young Master."

Brian suddenly turned his head.

"Do you have a problem?" A young man who looked like a student asked him.

Brian frowned.

"I was sent by Mr. Joe, Young Master."

Uh, Brian understood.

"Go on, I'm fine."

The young man nodded. "I'll still be around, if you need me."

Brian only replied with a short, "Okay."

There was no way Brian could protest what Joe Maiden had done. Maybe that was his way of protecting him.

After that incident, Brian went back to his daily routine on campus, including being a waiter in the canteen.

Nothing had changed. Some people still treated him so badly like trash.

However, for now he didn't mind that. His head was now filled with all the possibilities that could happen after he completely controlled his grandfather's company to the point that he accidentally spilled a student's water.

"You incompetent bastard!" cursed a male student.

"If you can't do it right, why are you here as a waiter?" A female student helped her friend pick up a tissue.

"Stop, Aline!" He prevented Aline from cleaning it.

The man named Rayn turned to Brian, "Why are you still acting like a fool?"

Brian, who was daydreaming, replied, "Yeah?"

Rayn laughed in annoyance and kicked the table that was partially wet with water.

"Look at this!" Rayn pointed at the table lazily.

"Clean it up quickly!" Rayn ordered.

An awake Brian immediately grabbed a cloth to clean it up. However, Rayn deliberately picked up the burger and fries on the table and dumped them on the floor.

"Clean that up too!" Rayn stared with a mocking smile.

His brow furrowed suddenly, "Wow. You're glaring at me?"

Rayn stood up while Brian was still clearing the table, not wanting to respond. However, since Brian was ignoring him, Rayn was furious.

"Poor waiter, you dare ignore me? Or do you have a problem with your ears?"

Brian still didn't want to respond and continued to clear the table.

"Damn it, who do you think you are, huh?" Rayn cursed and pushed Brian until the young man fell down.

People started laughing at him.

Aline narrowed her eyes, "Ignorant waitress. You can earn money from worshipping us, right? Shouldn't you be polite and obedient to the people who give you money, huh?"

Rayn laughed mockingly, "Then don't play deaf. Hurry up and clean it up!"

At first, Brian wanted to leave it at that. However, Rayn didn't seem to know that he was getting lucky and woke up the sleeping lion instead.

Immediately, Brian threw away the cleaning tools he was using and approached Rayn who was staring at him with a surprised look.

Brian tugged on Rayn's shirt collar.

"What are you doing? Get your filthy hands off me!" Rayn widened his eyes in anger.

Aline squealed in shock, "Get off Rayn! You bastard waiter!"

Brian still didn't let go and instead tightened his grip around Rayn's neck.

"The table was my fault. But the floor, that's your own doing. Why do I have to clean it?"

While trying to break away from Brian, Rayn replied, "It's the waiter's job. Why are you still asking?"

Brian nodded. "You're right. But, customers also have an obligation to keep this place clean. Don't you know that?"

Rayn didn't reply to Brian's words and instead kicked Brian's leg.

Unfortunately, Brian managed to dodge.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Brian immediately ran to get a mop and other cleaning tools and handed them to Rayn.

"What do you mean?" Rayn glared in shock.

"You got it dirty, you have to clean it up."

"What? Are you crazy? Do you think I'm willing to do maid duty?"

Brian replied casually, "If you don't want to do it, the CCTV footage of what happened earlier will get out. How about it? Do you want it or not?"

  • 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
