?Chapter 1105:
Meanwhile, Connor and Arabe had returned to Arabe’s house in Daniels Manor. Upon entering the living room, they were surprised to find Foley and De there, alongside Chloe. It was unusual for Foley and De to visit Arabe unless it was for something critical. Chloe was a neer to Daniels Manor, as Connor typically discouraged non-family members from visiting. Despite the oddity, Connor didn’t reveal any strong emotions, simply ncing briefly over the group.
Connor observed the group without overt reaction, though he did note Chloe’s red, tear-stained eyes and her sniffles. When Arabe and Connor appeared, Foley and De quickly rose, respectfully greeting them.
“Good evening, Great-grandma, Uncle Connor.”
Chloe, following suit, stood and respectfully greeted, “Good evening, Great-grandma, Connor.”
Arabe, who had always kept her distance from Chloe, remained detached, instructing, “Don’t refer to me as Great-grandma. You’re not part of the Daniels family. Please, call me Mrs. Daniels.” Chloe, visibly embarrassed, refrained from showing any upset.
Connor, with apparent disinterest, asked, “Why are you here?”
Foley took the lead as De and Chloe hesitated, saying, “We just wanted to drop by to see Great-grandma and you, Uncle Connor.”
Connor gave a slight nod.

“Greetings acknowledged. You may go now. And remember, no visitors in the future. Grandma appreciates her peace.”
Connor was ready to guide Arabe toward the dining room. At this, Foley and De exchanged worried looks, and Chloe, feeling the sting of embarrassment, bit her lip, remaining silent.
Foley, gathering courage, added, “Uncle Connor, there’s another reason for our visit. We need to discuss something important with you.” As someone escorted Arabe to the dining room, Connor seated himself on the sofa and gestured.
“Go ahead. What is it?”
Foley, visibly uneasy under Connor’s scrutinizing look, asked, “Uncle Connor, we’re hoping to have Chloe live in Daniels Manor. Would that be eptable?”
“Why?” Connor responded sharply.
“Is the Brock family unable to amodate an unmarried youngdy?”
“That’s not it,” Foley said, feeling embarrassed and uneasy under Connor’s sharp gaze.
“It’s just that Chloe can’t stay with the Brock family any longer. With no other options, she has to seek refuge with her older sister.”
De chimed in, “Indeed, Uncle Connor, Chloe is desperate. I couldn’t bear to leave her homeless. As her sister, it’s my duty to help.”
Connor sneered as he looked at Chloe and asked, “So, you can’t stay with your family any longer?”
Despite Connor’s aloof manner, Chloe felt excited to talk with him. Connor was Blebert’s most influential figure, someone Chloe had long revered and fantasized about marrying.
As Connor concluded his question, Chloe adopted a more miserable expression.
