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?”

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