?Chapter 1005:
Hannah shifted ufortably.
“Brian, that might not be wise.
The Daniels family has a lot of influence in Blebert, and Connor has power too.
Kicking him out could create bigger issues for us.”
Paul’s gaze hardened.
“You’re right.
It shouldn’t fall on you.
More chapters just for you gα?ησv????s
I’ll handle it.
I’ll go to the banquet hall and make it clear, as the owner of the Sunrise, that he isn’t wee.
Let’s see how he reacts to that.”
Paul turned to leave.
Every mention of Connor brought back painful memories of his daughters’ suffering, and it took all his strength not to confront him immediately.
But just as he reached the door, Hannah stepped in front of him, her voice urgent.
“Brian.”
Paul stopped and turned back to her.
“Hannah, is there something else I should know?”
Hannah sighed, looking uneasy.
“Brian, I know how you feel about Connor.
But today isn’t the right time to confront him.”
“Why not?” Paul asked, irritation creeping into his voice.
“Because Arabe is here.
She’s over ny now,” she exined, choosing her words carefully.
“Connor said he was here as an escort for his grandmother.
Even though we didn’t invite her, her age and status in Blebert mean we can’t ignore her presence.”
Paul let out a bitterugh, seeing right through Connor’s tactic.
He knew he wasn’t wee, so he brought his elderly grandmother along to deflect any bacsh.
With Arabe here, Paul had to show her the respect she deserved.
Any confrontation with Connor would have to wait.
That realization only fueled his frustration.
His expression tightened as he turned away.
Seeing the tightness in Paul’s jaw, Marissa could already imagine the sh that would happen when he met Connor.
Any hopes Connor had of enjoying the party were about to fade quickly.
Fortunately, Arabe was around, likely to help ease the tension and keep things civil.
Marissa found some reassurance in that.
