?Chapter 1019:


    “Brian really isn’t like most people.


    The Nash family just went from near copse to being on top.


    You have to wonder what those who tried to tear them down are feeling right now.”


    “And think about Tiffany—people expected her to crumble after Connor left her.


    Some were even waiting tough when her life fell apart.


    But who would have thought that suddenly, she’d have such a remarkable father? She really is lucky.”


    “Speaking of Connor, did you see him here with the kids? I bet he’s thinking about getting back with Tiffany.”


    gα?ησν????s, the ce for amazing tales


    “You can’t me him.


    With Paul being her father now, Tiffany’s in a powerful position.


    If they team up, who could possibly stand against them? It’s only natural Connor would want to reconnect.”


    “But where is Brian?” someone asked, scanning the room.


    “I can’t wait to see what the owner of the Sunrise is like now.”


    Then, a wave of excitement swept through the entrance of the banquet hall.


    “Brian’s here!” someone called out from near the entrance.


    Every eye turned to the door, where a tall, broad-shouldered man entered with calm, unhurried steps.


    His face was hidden behind a ck mask, giving him an air of mystery and control.


    Despite the mask covering his face, hismanding presence made people hold their breath.


    On his left walked a tall, slender man in a ck tailcoat, while Marissa and Everett walked proudly on his right.


    No one had met Paul, but several guests who had once boarded the Sunrise recognized the man beside him—Elvis.


    Elvis dressed exactly as he had on the Sunrise, in his ck tailcoat and with his hair slicked back.


    His hands rested at his sides, and though he wore a gentle smile, there was an unspoken fierceness in his gaze that made people feel intimidated.


    As soon as Elvis stepped into the room, those who recognized him felt a chill run through them.


    Anyone familiar with the Sunrise knew the captain’s harsh reputation—stories of his ruthless ways and bloodied deeds were widespread.


    It became clear then that the man being shown respect by Elvis could only be one person—the long-awaited host, Brian.


    The guests who knew Elvis gasped, and their shock spread quickly, quieting the entire hall.


    Paul’s presence seemed to fill every inch of the space, an invisible force holding everyone’s attention.


    One look at Paul told the crowd all they needed to know: the Nash family had changed.
