Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Conner: "It's pretty straightforward. You can't have both pride and a wife. If you want a wife, you've got to let go of your pride. Andre managed to get his wife because he wasn't afraid to be a little shameless."

Even the head of the Nettleton family decided to throw a bone, saying, "I'm giving you a few days off. Go out and find yourself a girlfriend instead of hanging around me all the time."

The servant was clueless; he genuinely went out looking for true love.

Meanwhile, the Nettleton family head stuck to his routine of showering and crashing on the sofa. The night was unusually quiet, and Mia's words had Annie tossing and turning. She could tell Conner was playing games by choosing the sofa, trying to win her sympathy. Her only thought was: This guy's got issues.

But, there was an upside to sleeping on the living room sofa; she could see him as soon as she opened the door.

"Annie? Still up?" Conner sat up from the sofa.

Annie walked over, "Conner, there are a few things I need to ask you."

Conner straightened up immediately, thinking she wanted to dig into his love life. He'd already rehearsed his most heartfelt responses, "Go ahead, Annie."

"Did you kill Emmery?"

The hope vanished from Conner's face, replaced by a steely gaze, "Why ask that now?"

"At first, I didn't ask because I didn't care. Later, I was too scared to know the truth. Now, I need to know how to deal with my sister."

Annie's resolve was evident, as if she'd made a decision. Conner picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, sensing someone cared about him, and then set it back down-all while Annie watched intently.

"Annie, it's probably best you don't know about this," Conner finally said.

Annie replied, "Right now, I'm just the second daughter of Chapman Inc under the Nettleton family, not Officer Chapman."

"It was Emmery's mom I had to deal with; she was out to kill me but got shot by Asher instead, leaving her. defenseless. Emmery didn't want me to be the one to end him, so he struck a deal before taking his own life, Conner revealed slowly.

"What kind of deal?" Annie asked.

"He wanted someone to stay alive," Conner looked her in the eyes.noveldrama

Annie seemed to grasp who that person was, her eyes brimming with tears.

Back when Conner's granddad

passed, the family needed to pick a new leader since his last wishes had mysteriously vanished. Emmery's mom had everyone threatened bribed, or locked up, so it was no surprise most backed Emmery.

"Bro, it's time for a shake-up."

Under The Silent Ring, five guys sat together. Asher, unable to hold back, said, "The old man's will was meant for you. It's hidden by that wicked woman. If you don't move, Emmery takes over, and we never avenge our aunt. You won't have a place in Newtown."

Mars chimed in, "Conner, my sharpshooting skills will definitely come in handy."

Teddy leaned back, "Conner, just give the word."

Andre handed over The Silent Ring's master card to Conner, "It's yours to use."

Conner, after a long pause, finally said, "Let's do this."

Andre reminded, "Catch them off guard, and it'll be twice as effective."

So, on that unexpected night, Conner and his crew surrounded the Nettleton

family estate, catching everyone by surprise.

In under three hours, they had everyone under control.
