Chapter 457 Howard Was Collaborating with Arnold

Tom stood next to Connor and noticed a broken look in his eyes. He scratched his head, surprised, and squatted down to help Connor up. "Have some water. It's time to eat."

Connor didn't wake up. Instead, he grabbed Tom's collar and muttered, "Owen, you should die."

His voice was filled with such intense hatred and anger. It was like he was ready to drag that demon to hell with him.

Tom looked at Connor. The name Owen wasn't unfamiliar. Owen managed most of the Hawthorne family's business now.

Owen was the eldest son of Mr. Hawthorne, while Connor was the youngest, born much later.

With Mr. Hawthorne's health failing and him relying on expensive meds to stay alive, the Hawthorne family was clearly on the brink of chaos.

Connor's condition was a sign that Mr. Hawthorner's health was deteriorating, and the family was about to implode.

Owen was testing Connor's reaction.

"Ethan asked me to watch over you and protect you, and he'd buy me a Cullinan," Tom muttered, almost like he was talking to himself.

company's current crisis was severe.

"There are breaches in the bodyguard and security personnel; someone is deliberately targeting us," Richard said, sitting on the sofa and looking at Ethan.

Both of them knew the situation well.

The department Richard managed was in chaos, and now clients were not only demanding to terminate contracts but also seeking compensation.

Ethan's eyes darkened. "Howard is hitting back hard."

"What should we do?" Richard asked, looking at Ethan. He trusted Ethan completely; he would do whatever Ethan said to do.

"We're a startup, and the trust we can build is already limited. Plus, we don't have industry elites to stabilize things," Ethan said, knowing it would be tough to keep the company steady under Howard's fierce attack.
