No Strings Attached

Everyone was stunned at his words.

lan spoke in a low voice, "He's setting you up in advance. No matter whether our act today is real or fake, he's got something on you now. From this point forward, you have to listen to him. So, for Katherine and Bruce's safety, we have to keep this act going. You and I must become sworn enemies over the battle for the Hayes family estate. Only then will Connor believe you and not lay a hand on Katherine and Bruce."

Brodie clenched his fists tightly. The hatred in his eyes couldn't be concealed anymore. "My grandfather spent a fortune to save Connor and never treated him as an outsider. He even handed over the massive Marecle Operation business to Connor for management. To think that after raising him all these years, he turned out to be an ingrate!"

The thought of Connor ruining Katherine's life and now controlling her again filled Brodie with extreme hatred. He thought that by uncovering the truth, he could clear his mother's name, but it turned out that the person he was looking for was right beside him.

Teo heavily patted Brodie's shoulder. His eyes were bloodshot. "Don't worry, I will make sure nothing happens to Katherine. Connor will definitely get his comeuppance."

The group then planned their next moves. Then, they went their separate ways.From NôvelDrama.Org.

The news of lan and Brodie fighting over the CEO position quickly spread across the entire network. Connor, seeing the news on his phone, smiled sinisterly.

He dialed Brodie's number, and the call was quickly answered. "Uncle Connor, how's grandfather doing?"

Connor's voice was somewhat hoarse, "Not too good. He was bitten by a dog while out for a walk. The dog had a virus, and now the hospital is trying to figure it out. He's been unconscious."

Hearing this, Brodie clenched his

fist. He tried to keep his emotions steady Please, you have to find a way to save Grandfather. My mom can't lose him. I'll come over to see him after a while."

Connor smiled slightly, "We're here with your mom, so there's no need for you to worry. What's going on with you? I saw the news. You and lan fought? What happened?"

A cold light flashed in Brodie's eyes.

He said in a calm tone. "I found out that my mon is the rightful mistress of the Hayes family. Leonora is just

an imposter. She was surgically altered and sent to the Hayes family to replace my mom. So, I am the rightful heir to the Hayes family, and lan is Leonora and Teo's illegitimate son. Because of Leonora, my mom and I have suffered so much. I won't let this go easily."

Connor's face showed pleasure, but his voice sounded worried. "But lan won't be easy to deal with. He won't give up the Hayes Corporation easily. What's your plan?"

"I'm thinking of using the Marecle

family's power to deal with him. After the incident, the Hayes Corporation is now facing financial issues, so I want to take the opportunity to invest in the name of

Marècle Operation. It will not only boost my reputation but also increase my shareholdings. Uncle

Connor, what do you think?"

Connor chuckled, "That's the spirit! That's the child I've nurtured. A child without ambition will never become great. How much funding do you need?" "Fifty million."

"Alright, I'll have someone arrange it for you. Once you take over the Hayes Corporation, our two families will join forces and dominate the globe." "Thanks for your support. Let's not tell my mom about this. She still has feelings for the Hayes family and would definitely disagree with my actions."
