Chapter 16
“Have you lost your fucking mind? What are you trying to do? Connor, that’s your own flesh and blood! What the hell is wrong with you? Maya’s dead! Hurting more people isn’t gonna bring her back!” his mother screamed through her tears.
Connor stared at his mother, then suddenly let oin a cold laugh. “Oh right, I almost forgot about you two.”
His father’s brow furrowed. “Connor, what’s that supposed to mean? You’re not seriously gonna turn on your own parents over some dead woman are you?”
“If you guys had treated Maya decently all these years, if you hadn’t told Serena to drug my drink, that night never would’ve happened. Emma wouldn’t exist, and none of this shit would’ve gone down.
So you’re murderers too, and you’re gonna pay for what you did!“]]
Connor looked at them both with ice–cold eyes. His parents exchanged glances, unconsciously feeling afraid.
It turned out Connor wasn’t just talking. After he gave Emma an artificial heart, he began going after his own parents
He seized power from his parents, trying to take all the shares of Mitchell Corporation into his own hands. His father naturally wouldn’t give up easily, and the two started an internal war within the company.
Everyone in the business world was shocked by this father–son battle.[]
In just two months, because of this internal struggle, all of Mitchell Corporation’s projects ran into problems, and the Mitchell family’s reputation plummeted.
Connor’s parents tried to reconcile with their son, but Connor didn’t care about the rumors swirling around him–he was actually happy that the Mitchell family’s reputation was being destroyed.[]
It was just because of this that his parents had been so harsh to Maya and their daughter. []
Now he wanted them to lose the thing they cared about most.[]
In the end, his father chose to back down. He voluntarily stepped down from Mitchell Corporation’s board of directors, but by then, the company had already been severely damaged by the internal conflict.
It was at this moment that Connor appeared before the public. He announced to everyone that he only had one daughter–his daughter with Maya–and that his only true love was Maya. []
He revealed that Serena had used despicable means to frame him four years ago, and that he had no personal feelings for her whatsoever.[]
Connor even released the dashcam footage to the public. []
Instantly, Serena and Emma became trending topics with endless criticism, and obviously, Connor himself wasn’t spared from the online backlash either.
But Connor didn’t care. Each bit of pain he suffered now actually made him feel better inside–only by living miserably enough could he make up for Maya’s suffering.
After bringing down his father, he lost all interest in the company.[]
He wanted to retrieve his daughter’s ashes and bury them with Maya in the Mitchell family cemetery, where he could stay by their side every day.[]
When Connor went to the public cemetery, the staff told him his daughter’s ashes were long gone–cleared out after two months with no visitors.
Connor caused such a scene that police had to take him away.[]
Footage of Connor being arrested went viral online, sparking another round of public discussion about him.[]
After leaving the police station, one cemetery worker made a phone call. []

“Don’t worry, miss, everything went smoothly here. Hope everything works out for you and you get to live happily ever after.”
Connor didn’t notice the worker’s call. [
He returned home in a daze and spent his days holding Maya’s urn and drinking, never bothering to bury the ashes.
