“Huh?” Joyce blurted in confusion.

Natalie, however, caught what the kid was saying. Her eyes widened as she shifted her gaze to her tiny rascal and asked, “Connor, did you just say that the money belongs to your daddy? D-Does that mean your daddy is Mr. Miller?”

Joyce gasped in astonishment. “No way.”

Connor chuckled and replied, “Mommy, Aunt Joyce, there is no need to be so surprised. The Mr. Miller that you have been talking about is Daddy. Have you forgotten that Grandma’s surname is Miller?”

Those words instantly pointed Natalie in the right direction.

Shane is Mr. Miller! He used his mother’s last name to invest in the company.

“What the f*ck?” Joyce, who had finally put two and two together, exclaimed, slapping her own lap. “So Mr. Shane is Mr. Miller this entire time? Why did he jump through so many hoops and pretend to be someone else?”

Connor crossed his arms and answered, “Naturally, he did it to court Mommy. The two of them weren’t married at that time, and Mommy refused to accept any money from Daddy, so he put on a show. He assumed another identity to help everyone out because he knew you’d refuse his offer otherwise.”
