Olivia’s palm struck Carl’s face with tremendous force. The crisp sound echoed throughout the entire hall. Carl stumbled backward, completely stunned. He never expected Olivia to actually hit him. Even Conor was momentarily surprised. After all, just moments earlier, Olivia had already wanted to slap Carl, but he had stopped her by grabbing her wrist and calming her down. However, this time, the anger burning inside her had finally reached its limit. Olivia took another step forward, her hand rising once again. She wanted to slap him again. She wanted to make him feel even a fraction of the pain and hatred she had carried in her heart since Lily’s kidnapping. But before she could do anything, Conor immediately reached out and gently held her hand. “Olivia.” His voice was calm but firm. She turned toward him, her eyes still filled with uncontrollable fury. “Conor, let go.” Her voice trembled with anger. “He almost destroyed Lily’s life.” Conor looked at

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,

A mocking smile spread across Carl’s face. “Oh?” He glanced at Olivia’s lowered hand before letting out a contemptuous laugh. “So you wanted to slap me?” He slowly shook his head. “How bold of you.” His eyes were filled with disdain. “Have you forgotten that the future of the Nelson Family is still in my hands?” He smiled arrogantly. “If I say one word, your grandfather will personally drag you back to apologize to me.” His gaze swept over the two of them. “You should be thanking me instead of trying to hit me.” Olivia’s fists tightened. The anger in her eyes only grew stronger. Carl, however, paid no attention to Olivia’s cold gaze. Instead, he turned his attention toward Conor, a mocking expression appearing on his face. “As for you…” A sneer slowly formed on his lips. “I really have to admire your shamelessness.” His eyes swept over Conor with contempt. “You have no job. No status. No achievements.” His smile widened as he continued. “Yet you still cling to Ol

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

Carl looked up. “…What?” “Go there personally,” Victor said, his gaze unwavering. “Apologize if you have to. Lower your head if necessary. I don’t care what it takes.” His voice became even colder. “I want you to find out exactly who issued that order.” He stepped closer until only a short distance separated them, his eyes filled with unquestionable authority. “And if the Norman Family has truly offended someone…” His expression darkened. “…then you will do everything in your power to earn that person’s forgiveness.” Carl swallowed hard. “…Yes, Father.” Although he answered obediently, confusion still filled his heart. Who… Who could possibly possess such terrifying influence? For Victor, there was no longer any room for pride. Whether Carl had to apologize… Whether he had to kneel… Whether the Norman Family had to lower their heads before someone they had never even heard of… It no longer mattered. Anything was better than standing by and watching the Norman Family colla

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
