Chapter 445: "What is it?" Connor asked, a note of curiosity in his voice.
"It's about Norton's death. Shortly after Glenn was born, your parents stumbled upon the fact that the fire in the hotel where Norton was staying wasn't an accident. It was a deliberate act of arson committed by someone who meant to kill him," Allyson replied.

But all these calamities had occurred when he was just a child, and he knew very little about them. His aunt and grandmother never delved into the details, leading him to believe they were simply accidents.
Yet today, Allyson revealed that Norton's death was part of a sinister plot.
Connor's curiosity got the better of him. "Did they ever figure out who did it?" he asked eagerly.

While your parents managed to uncover that it was indeed arson, they never succeeded in identifying the culprit." Connor tightened his fists and declared, "I'll pick up where my parents left off." Allyson nodded, her voice gentle yet resolute. "Back when you were a child, I kept mum about this stuff. I was worried it might weigh you down. But seeing you now, so resilient, I reckon it's tyou knew the score. Norton's passing can't stay a mystery forever. And there's more to share about what went down." "Please go ahead," Connor urged, his expression steady.
Allyson began, her tone reflective. "Maybe it's the stellar genes of your Daniels lineage, but Glenn, he was also an extremely outstanding child. Even as a little child, it was crystal clear he was destined for greatness. Your parents saw it too. They wanted him to be the one leading the family." She glanced at Connor, a playful glint in her eye. "And you, well, your arrival was a surprise package. After Glenn, your parents weren't exactly planning on adding to the brood. But there you were, bursting onto the scene." With a sigh, Allyson continued, "Even though you weren't in their plan, they still brought you into this world. But on the day your mom was released from the hospital after you were born, fate dealt a cruel blow-a heavy truck collided with your car." Allyson's voice caught in her throat, choked with emotion. "Both your parents passed away in that awful crash. And Glenn, bless him, was there too. Trying to protect you, he took a hit that left him with lasting injuries to his legs, changing everything." Tears welled in Connor's eyes, the weight of the past bearing down on him. Even though he was too young to grasp the magnitude of those events back then, hearing about them now was enough to shatter his heart.

They held on until they got to the hospital, but despite all efforts, they couldn't be saved. Before they left us, they made sure to leave a will. They made it clear to your grandmother not to hand over control of the family business or the shares to Neil. And they entrustedwith helping Arabella raise you and Glenn right. You were just a tiny newborn, and Glenn, he was only four, his little legs already bearing the weight of disability.
During that period, the entire Daniels family was enveloped in darkness, with no glimmer of hope on the horizon. But your grandmother, she was truly a force to be reckoned with. Despite being in her sixties, she found the strength to hold the Daniels family together and raise you and Glenn alongside me.” "The most rewarding part for us is seeing how you've surpassed our expectations. Not only have you shouldered the responsibility of leading the family from your grandmother, but you've also steered the Daniels family with remarkable skill.
I heard you even tracked down the renowned doctor, Riss, for Glenn, giving him hope of walking again! Finally, everything is looking up."
Allyson exclaimed, "I thought seeing you marry a fine wife and raise beautiful children would be the perfect ending. But who would've guessed you'd marry Tiffany, who's such a..." Allyson halted, a hint of dissatisfaction lingering in her tone, clearly still pondering Connor's marriage choice.
Connor gently put his arm around Allyson's shoulder, comforting her. "Auntie, I'm genuine happy now. My NO wife is the woman I chose after much thought, and I couldn't be more content with her."
"As long as you're happy!" Allyson said with a hint of helplessness.m "There's another very important thing I need to tell you..."
