Chapter 190
Connor did not utter a single word as Lena continued to speak with unwavering confidence, as she praised the arrival of the CEO of the Winchester Group.What Lena did not know, however, was that the man she was glorifying, the very authority she was counting on to save her from embarrassment, was standing quietly before her.Connor watched her with a faint smile resting on his lips. It was not a mocking smile, nor was it one filled with bitterness. Instead, it was a calm, reflective expression, as he was observing a memory unfold before him.Inside his mind, his thoughts moved steadily, each one layered with meaning.“So this is how far things have come,” he reflected silently. “The same people who once dismissed me as nothing now place their hopes on a version of me they cannot even recognize.”His gaze lingered on Lena for a moment longer, and there was a subtle shift in his eyes ,something deeper than amusement, something closer to understanding.“You speak of power,” he continued

The owner of the hall let out a faint, amused sigh as he shook his head slowly. He stepped forward, his voice calm but firm as he addressed Lena directly.“Miss Lena,” he began, “you seem to be holding onto a belief that someone is coming here who will change everything.”Lena crossed her arms over her chest, lifting her chin slightly. “Not just someone,” she corrected him sharply. “Someone you cannot control.”The owner raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “There is no one who will walk into this hall that I cannot deal with,” he replied evenly. “This is my property, and I decide what happens here.”He paused briefly, then added with a subtle emphasis, “And more importantly, I am with the most significant person standing here.”The statement caused a ripple of curiosity among the guests.Lena frowned slightly. “What do you mean by that?” she asked, her tone laced with skepticism.The owner turned his head slightly and gestured toward Connor, who stood calmly a few steps behind

The owner of the venue's expression turned stern and authoritative.“Enough,” he said firmly. “Everyone should remain silent.”The command carried a weight that no one dared to challenge. Almost immediately, the murmuring voices faded, and the laughter died down. Connor stood calmly at the center of it all, his expression unchanged. ,While Lena and Benjamin still wore faint traces of disbelief mixed with irritation. The guests, now silent, watched attentively.The owner reached into his pocket and brought out his phone. Without saying another word, he unlocked it and navigated swiftly through the screen before holding it up for everyone to see.“At times,” he began slowly, his voice measured, “words are not enough to convince people. So perhaps it is better to show proof.”He stepped forward slightly and turned the screen outward, angling it so that those closest could see clearly.“This,” he continued, “is the transaction alert I received earlier today.”A few people at the fron

The manager moved his eyes between Connor and the owner of the hall.It was clear from the trembling of his hands that fear had taken hold of him completely.Connor looked at him steadily, his voice measured and composed as he finally spoke. “I will give you a chance,” he said quietly. “If you are humble enough to recognize your mistake, then I may consider allowing you to keep your job. But that depends entirely on what you choose to do next.”The manager swallowed hard, his throat suddenly dry. “Sir… I… I understand,” he stammered, his voice shaking slightly.Without wasting another moment, he began to lower himself to his knees in front of Connor, his movements hesitant but desperate. However, just as his knees were about to touch the ground, a hand shot out and grabbed his arm forcefully.“Have you completely lost your mind?” Lena’s sharp voice cut through the air as she yanked him back upright.The manager staggered slightly as he was pulled back, his expression filled with co

The call ended,and then Connor lowered his phone.Around him, the murmurs of the guests gradually faded into an uneasy silence.All eyes turned toward the entrance as the manager had just stormed in with two imposing security guards behind him.Lena’s lips curled into a satisfied smile as she folded her arms across her chest, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. “Well, Connor,” she said with a mocking tone, tilting her head slightly, “it seems your time is finally up. You should have listened when I warned you earlier.”Benjamin stepped forward, adjusting his suit as he smirked. “You heard the call yourself, didn’t you?” he added, glancing at Connor with obvious disdain. “The manager is here not alone but with two security guards. That alone should tell you how serious this has become. You should have left when you still had a shred of dignity.”Connor did not respond immediately.Instead, he simply looked at them both, a faint smile playing on his lips, as their words held no weig

Lena’s confusion was evident on her face, her brows furrowed as she stared at him, trying to understand the confidence behind his calm expression.Connor did not say another word to her immediately. Instead, he lifted his hand slightly and gestured. “Step aside,” he said quietly.Lena blinked, caught off guard by his tone. “What?” she asked, clearly offended.“I said step aside,” Connor repeated, his voice still calm but now carrying a firm edge.Lena scoffed. “And if I don’t?” she challenged, folding her arms again.Connor did not argue. He simply reached forward and gently but firmly pushed her aside, not with aggression, but with a confidence that made it impossible for her to resist.“Connor!” Lena snapped, stumbling slightly as she moved out of his way. “How dare you”But Connor had already turned his back on her, completely ignoring her outrage as he began walking toward the stage.Benjamin stepped forward immediately. “What do you think you are doing?” he demanded.Connor did n
