Connor looked at Maya and did not say anything. He still did not understand what Maya was discussing and what they were quarreling about in the conference room.
“Without my uncle’s financial support, the company could not operate normally. Freya was forced to seek external investment. Fortunately, Freya is quite popular. She sold 50% of the company’s shares to those in the conference room!” Maya turned to look at the conference room and said softly.
“So these people are all shareholders of Freya’s company?” Connor was stunned for a moment.
“Yeah, they’re all shareholders!” Maya nodded lightly, then continued to frown. “After Freya sold her shares, she successfully got some money and continued to run the cosmetics company. However, the company still did not improve. So, the shareholders came out to find trouble with Freya. They want Freya to change her business strategy for the company…”
“Then?” Connor asked.
“Freya started this cosmetics company to create her brand. How could she be willing to be a foreign agent? Therefore, Freya refused to agree with the shareholders’ idea, and the shareholders all proposed to withdraw their shares!” Maya said slowly.
“Since they want to withdraw their shares, let them withdraw…” Connor said casually.
“Excuse me, do you have a brain? If all these shareholders withdrew their shares, Freya will have to pay a huge amount of dismissal compensation, but Freya doesn’t have the money to give them now…” Maya rolled her eyes at Connor and retorted.
“What happens if she can’t pay them?” Connor frowned and asked.
“If she can’t pay the dismissal fee, they will go to court to sue Freya. Freya will lose the lawsuit, and the company will have to declare bankruptcy…”
“I see!” Connor nodded lightly. At this moment, he understood what was going on.
To put it bluntly, Freya’s company was not doing well, causing it to suffer losses. These shareholders wanted to withdraw their shares, but Freya could not take out so much money to give to these shareholders.
But what Connor couldn’t understand was what did Freya’s company’s poor management have to do with him?
He was not an employee of her company.
“I understand what you’re saying, but what does this have to do with me?” Connor turned and asked Maya.
“You still have the cheek to say that?” Maya glared at Connor, then pouted and said, “Yesterday, a rich kid named Mr. Shenaur Jr. wanted to invest in Freya’s company. If Freya could get this money, maybe the company would get better, and the shareholders wouldn’t have dared to come and cause trouble…”
“So, this has nothing to do with me, right?” Connor was stunned as he asked. “How could it not be related to you? When Mr. Shenaur Jr. confessed to Freya last night, she rejected him directly, saying she already has a fiance. That’s why Mr. Shenaur Jr. withdrew his investment in Freya. When those shareholders discovered Mr. Shenaur Jr. did not invest, they all came here to cause trouble!” Maya explained.
Hearing this, Connor finally understood.
So the rich kid who appeared in the bar last night was Freya’s investor.
“Do you still dare to say this has nothing to do with you? If it weren’t for you, Mr. Shenaur Jr. wouldn’t have given up on Freya, and she wouldn’t have lost that investment!” Maya said to Connor in disgust.
Connor narrowed his eyes as he looked at the conference room. He was a little conflicted.
Freya’s current problem was not a problem for Connor at all. As long as it could be solved with money, it was not a problem for Connor.
However, the problem now was that Connor had yet to register his marriage with Freya. He was afraid of exposing his identity.
“Freya is stupid too. Someone bought her a villa worth fifty million dollars a few days ago. If Freya accepted and sold it, she could have solved her problem.” Maya looked at Connor and continued.
“Freya didn’t want that villa?”
When Connor heard this, he couldn’t help but exclaim. Then, he stood up and walked toward the conference room.
“Connor, where are you going?” Seeing that Connor was about to leave, Maya hurriedly shouted.
Connor ignored Maya. He walked to the door of the conference room and pushed it open.

In the conference room.
“Ms. Phillips, no matter what you say today, we must return the shares. Otherwise, we won’t leave!” a middle-aged man with an oily face said to Freya. “That’s right. If we don’t get the money today, we won’t leave!”
“We’re not leaving!” the other shareholders also shouted.
“Mr. Zach, Mr. Carden, on account of my father, can you give me a few more days? Three days later, I will give you a satisfactory explanation…”
Freya rubbed her forehead tiredly and said to the crowd with a helpless expression.
“Give you a few more days?” When the middle-aged man heard this, he could not help but sneer.
“Freya, didn’t we invest in your company back then and let you do it because of your father?”
“But I didn’t expect you to run the company like this. You have the face to ask us to give you a few more days. How much time have we given you?”
“I know you have all always taken good care of me, but I don’t have money now…”
Freya looked at everyone and tried to explain.
“You what? Mr. Shenaur Jr. wanted to invest in our company a few days ago. Why did you reject him? You have to give us an explanation today!” the middle-aged man bellowed.
“But 1 don’t have the money to withdraw your shares now!” Freya sat and spoke in despair.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money. As long as you go to Mr. Shenaur Jr. now and ask him to invest in us, we won’t mention withdrawing our shares!” the middle-aged man replied expressionlessly.
When Freya heard this, she was stunned, and a strange look flashed in her beautiful eyes.
She knew that the shareholders present were all billionaires, and they did not hold many shares in Freya’s company.
They would only get two or three million if they wanted to withdraw their shares. This money was nothing to them at all.
However, they kept threatening Freya with withdrawing their shares. Moreover, they came over every two or three days to cause trouble. This was not normal.
Coupled with what the middle-aged man had said, Freya suddenly realized that these people might not want to withdraw their shares. They might have colluded with Mr. Shenaur Jr. to force her to take the initiative to look for him and agree to his request.
All of this was a trap set by Mr. Shenaur Jr..
However, even if Freya knew this was a trap, she could not resolve it.
“Freya, you just have to call Mr. Shenaur Jr. now and ask him to invest in our company again. Then, we won’t ask for a withdrawal of shares.”
“Yeah, Freya, isn’t it just a phone call? What’s so difficult about it?” another middle-aged man chipped in.
“Whoosh!”
The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.
When everyone heard the voice, they turned to look at the conference room door.
When Freya saw Connor walk in, she was surprised.. Then, she frowned and said, “Connor, why did you come in? Hurry up and get out!”
