Chapter 1121: Confused and anxious, Foley felt the weight of his betrayal toward Neil, yet Connor hadn't given any assurance of protection. It was as if he were teetering on a tightrope, with no safety beneath him, poised to fall into an abyss at any moment.
Lacking the courage to ask any more questions, Foley rose to his feet, gave a respectful bow to Connor, and said, "Uncle Connor, I'll be heading back now. Good night." Connor merely nodded, offering no further words.
Once Foley had departed, Domenic reentered the study. "Mr. Daniels, how shall we proceed regarding Foley?" "Just let him be," Connor instructed coldly. "He was raised under my observation. I know him well. Influenced by Neil for years, he's beccunning and ruthless, yet he lacks the means to truly impact anything." In the grand schof things, such minor players did not warrant a titan's concern.

No matter their mistakes, he would never allow them to face harm. It was both his duty and a promise he had made to Arabella. Although Neil's family had their flaws, they were still descendants of Arabella. If anything were to happen to them, it would break her heart.

A realization dawned on Domenic. "Mr. Daniels, are you suspecting Neil isn't a descendant of the Daniels family?" Connor's slight nod conveyed his suspicions. How could anyone try to kill their own parents? Perhaps Neil knew he wasn't their biological child.
Whether or not Neil was truly a Daniels, Connor couldn't show mercy. As the head of the family, he couldn't let someone so cruel and immoral remain within their ranks. He had to pursue justice for his parents and brother.
No matter the blood relation, he would not offer protection to Foley.
Foley approached him out of fear of Neil, seeking refuge for his own survival. Had Neil offered him the security he needed, Foley would never have turned to Connor. Instead, he would have aligned himself with Neil as an accomplice.
Had Neil's attempt on Connor's life been successful, Foley could very well have been the one to carry out the deed.

Anyone capable of betraying their own father would never be loyal to their uncle. Everything they did was motivated by self-interest. If the DNA test results proved Neil wasn't a true Daniels, the first person Connor would remove from the family tree would be Foley.
"I'll handle it, Mr. Daniels," Domenic said before exiting.
Connor remained at his desk, enveloped in silence, the weight of his decisions pressing down on him. Known for his decisiveness, once he resolved to withdraw mercy from Neil's family, he intended to see it through.
A major reorganization was imminent for the Daniels for the Daniels family, 'The that would be marked by bloodshed.
Connor worried that the changes and shocks might upset his grandmother, unsure she could handle them.
