Chapter 56
The moment Harris finished speaking, the air on the street seemed to thicken.Victor Hale stood stiffly in the middle of the road, his eyes wide, his lips slightly parted. For a few seconds, he did not move at all, as if his body had frozen while his mind struggled to catch up with what he had just heard.Around them, the crowd shifted.“Did you hear that?” someone whispered.“He said terminate his employment.”“Is that guy serious?”“No way. This has to be a joke.”Connor, however, showed no reaction.He stood calmly, his shoulders relaxed, his face expressionless. The noise around him did not seem to touch him at all. It was as if he was standing in a quiet room instead of the middle of a crowded street filled with shocked onlookers.“Harris,” Connor said again, his voice steady and clear.“Yes, sir,” Harris replied immediately, straightening his posture.“Fire Victor Hale,” Connor said flatly. “Effective immediately. Send the confirmation to my email. You have two hours.”“Yes,

Connor finally spoke.His voice was calm, steady, and clear, cutting through Victor Hale’s laughter.“This is not a show,” Connor said.Victor was still laughing when Connor spoke, his head tilted back slightly, his shoulders shaking with mock amusement. When he heard Connor’s words, he stopped laughing slowly and looked at him with narrowed eyes, as if he had just heard something ridiculous.“What did you just say?” Victor asked, still smiling. “You’re actually serious?”Connor did not raise his voice. He did not look angry. He simply looked at Victor directly.“You demanded repayment for the damage on your Lamborghini,” Connor said. “Since my bank network is currently unavailable, I asked my assistant to bring my cars instead. You can choose one.”The street went quiet for half a second.Then Victor burst out laughing again, louder than before.“Hahaha!” Victor slapped his thigh. “Did you all hear that?” he said, turning to the crowd. “Did you hear this guy?”People started murmuri

Victor Hale stared at Connor with open irritation, his lips curling into a bitter chuckle like he had just heard the most ridiculous joke of his life. The laughter from moments earlier slowly faded, replaced by an uncomfortable silence as Victor stepped closer, his expensive shoes scraping lightly against the asphalt.“Have you forgotten your place?” Victor asked coldly, tilting his head as he looked Connor up and down. “Or do you enjoy being humiliated in public?”Connor said nothing. His face remained calm, unreadable.Victor laughed again, this time harsher. “You really must like this,” he continued. “Standing there, letting people laugh at you. Or maybe you’re hoping someone will pity you.”He paused, then smirked. “You know what? I’ve changed my mind.”Connor finally lifted his gaze fully to Victor. “About what?”Victor pointed at the cab driver, who was still struggling to stand. “I’ll spare him,” Victor said casually. “After all, beating a poor driver isn’t satisfying enough.”

The laughter didn’t stop immediately. It lingered in the air, mixed with whispers.“Did he just hit the driver?” a woman murmured, her hand flying to her mouth.“He actually slapped him,” another man said quietly, eyes wide. “That’s insane.”Victor paid them no attention.He loomed over the cab driver, who was still on the ground, shaking as he tried to push himself up with trembling hands. Victor clicked his tongue impatiently. “Pathetic,” he muttered. “You people are always like this. Make a mess, then start begging.”“Sir, please,” the driver said again, his voice breaking. “I have a family. I was already slowing down. You came too fast—”“Lies,” Victor snapped, cutting him off instantly. “You think I don’t know how this works? You hit my car because you weren’t paying attention. End of story.”He turned slightly toward the crowd, spreading his hands as if presenting evidence. “Look at him,” he said loudly. “Always the same excuse. No accountability. No responsibility.”A few peopl

The cab drove along the road toward Connor’s mansion. The golden award was placed beside him on the seat. Connor leaned back and looked out the window. His face was calm, as if what happened at the award ceremony and Lena’s outburst no longer mattered.As he sat there calmly, all of a sudden, he heard a loud sound… BANG.The impact came without warning.The cab jolted violently to the side as another car slammed into it from the rear, the force throwing Connor forward slightly before the seatbelt snapped him back. The screech of tires was so loud Connor had to cover his ear, followed by the harsh grinding sound of metal scraping against metal. The cab shuddered, swerving before finally coming to a rough stop by the side of the road..Connor’s jaw tightened instantly.“What the hell was that?” he snapped, his calm finally cracking as he looked forward sharply.The cab driver cursed under his breath, gripping the steering wheel. “Sir, I swear, I was driving straight. That car—”“You wer
Chapter 51
Connor stepped out of the grand doors of Rockhill Villa as though he had all the time in the world, the golden award firmly held in his hand. His expression was calm, giving the impression that nothing extraordinary had just occurred inside the award hall. People were murmuring, shaking their heads, gesturing in disbelief, still processing the dramatic events that had just unfolded inside.Some exchanged incredulous glances, others whispered in shock, “Did that really just happen?”Connor’s gaze scanned the street casually, as if he were merely on a leisurely stroll, unconcerned with the attention around him. And then, as if drawn by an invisible magnet, Lena Montgomery’s sharp, piercing gaze locked onto him. She had been walked out of the hall earlier by Mr. Wills security, her heels clicking violently against the pavement. Her voice erupted almost immediately, loud, cutting through the crowd like a blade, drawing attention from passersby and onlookers.“You—!” she began, steppi
