Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1056

Connor had definitely heard of the Grevenberg family.

Back before the Sartori family took over the city's social scene, the Grevenbergs were one of the four most powerful families in Eldridge City-untouchable,

respected, and feared by everyone who mattered.

Then, almost overnight, the entire Grevenberg family was wiped out.

The first time Connor ever heard the name "Shangguan" was from Grant. That set off a spark in his memory. Suddenly, a wild theory took shape in his mind.

He turned to Grant and asked, "Wait... are you from the Grevenberg family?"

But immediately, he second-guessed himself. The Grevenberg family-thirty-eight people had all been killed in one night, not a single survivor. It was a tragedy Connor had only ever read about.

He remembered stumbling across the story as a kid, sneaking into his grandfather's study. He'd been messing around and managed to unlock one of his grandfather's old, locked boxes. Inside, he found a yellowed newspaper and the Sartori family's treasured pink emerald pendant.

Connor had been just old enough to read the headlines and understand the story. But back then, it felt like just another piece of family gossip, nothing more.
