Chapter 1528: Boundaries

"Lover?"

Upon hearing this, Waverly's face showed a hint of anger. She pouted and muttered, "Men are all the same, not a single good one among them..."

"Men like Connor, even if they have multiple lovers, it's quite normal, isn't it?" Cheiko mused.

As Waverly looked at Cheiko, she couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment. Then she softly asked, "If Connor asked you to be his lover, would you be willing or not?"

"Of course, I would!" Cheiko replied without any hesitation, nodding decisively.

Waverly gave Cheiko a disdainful look.

Cheiko chuckled helplessly and said, "Although I'd be willing, it seems that Connor isn't interested."

Meanwhile, after a brief cleanup, Connor led Cheiko and Waverly towards the location of the Bander family.

...

At the same time, in Honduria, within the Bander family estate.

Though on the surface, the Bander family estate appeared the same as usual, it was actually harboring hundreds of martial arts guards. Even handguns were issued to these guards. They had been brought in overnight from elsewhere by Palmer to ensure his safety.

The senior members of the Bander family were also restricted from leaving. They were effectively under house arrest, not allowed to go outside.

The Bander family was now on a high state of alert.

For so many years, Palmer had never felt such fear and nervousness. He had always considered Connor as his prey, thinking that once Connor entered Honduria, he was as good as dead.

However, he had come to realize just how terrifying an opponent Connor was.

"Yaakov, how dare you deceive me? Are you trying to get me killed?" Palmer angrily shouted into his phone.

"Mr. Palmer, why are you getting so worked up? Connor is just a young brat. Dealing with him should be a straightforward matter, right?" Yaakov's voice sounded calm and composed.

"Mr. Palmer, how could you think of me that way? We've always been on good terms. What benefit would I gain from having Connor get rid of you?" Yaakov asked in a seemingly innocent tone.

"Stop pretending with me. Once I'm done dealing with Connor, I'll settle accounts with you!" Palmer gritted his teeth.

"Haha, sure, I'll be waiting for you!" Yaakov couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Palmer threw his phone to the ground and muttered through clenched teeth, "Yaakov, I'll make sure to get back at you sooner or later..."

Outside the room, Deryn and Eira exchanged helpless glances upon hearing Palmer's outburst. This was the first time they had seen Palmer so agitated in so many years.

"Big sister, Father seems really pushed to his limits this time..." Deryn remarked with a sigh.

"All our shares are currently held in Swiss banks. Once Connor completes the transfer with the bank, the Bander family will truly be left with nothing..." Eira furrowed her brows.

"Is the situation really this dire?" Deryn's expression turned astonished.

"Father believed that Wadi would definitely defeat Connor, which is why he agreed to Connor's challenge initially. It started with a wager of $10 billion, but Connor raised it to $100 billion. Father didn't want to give up on the opportunity, so he staked all our family's assets on the bet. Now, Father has lost..." Eira explained softly.

"Why is Father being so foolish?" Deryn shook her head in disbelief.

"No one could have foreseen just how formidable Connor would turn out to be," Eira sighed and continued, "However, it seems the situation isn't as dire as we imagine. After all, Connor's woman is still in Father's hands, and Connor killed Wadi. Jiang Yifan won't let Connor off easily. So, Father still has a chance to contend with Connor!"

"I never thought this Connor would bring such disaster to our Bander family. We really underestimated him back then!" Deryn said with a furrowed brow.

"Eira,, come in!" Just then, Palmer's voice came from the room, calling Eira inside.

Hearing her father's summons, Eira quickly entered the room. She respectfully inquired, "Father, you called for me? What is it?"

Palmer turned his head to look at her, then said, "Bring the daughter of the Seventh Elder here as well. I need to talk to the two of you."

"Alright..." Eira replied and then left the room.

A few minutes later, Eugenia, accompanied by Eira, entered Palmer's room.

Eugenia was feeling quite nervous at the moment. She had no idea why Palmer had called her here, but she suspected it was related to Connor in some way. Having lived in the Bander family for so many years, this was the first time she had entered Palmer's office.

Palmer, however, was unusually warm towards Eugenia. He smiled and said, "Eugenia, you're becoming more and more beautiful..."

"Thank you for the compliment!" she replied nervously.

"Here's the situation. I've called the two of you here today to discuss something. Are you aware of the wager between Connor and our Bander family?" Palmer asked with a serious expression.

"We are aware," Eira nodded gently.

Eugenia, on the other hand, appeared confused.

"I made a bet with Connor. If he could defeat Wadi, I promised to give him control over all of our family's assets. Now that the results are out, Connor indeed defeated Wadi. Therefore, everything our Bander family possesses might become Connor's at any time," Palmer explained to Eugenia.

Her expression turned extremely incredulous upon hearing this. She had never expected such a wager between Palmer and Connor.

Staring wide-eyed, she couldn't find words to describe her astonishment. She was utterly taken aback and unsure of how to process her current emotions.
