Chapter 387: Scarlett Moore’s Thoughts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Actually, Connor had never considered this matter from Freya’s perspective.
Connor thought that Freya was so angry because he had lied to her.
However, Freya did not care if Connor had lied to her. What she really cared about was the feelings that Connor had shown her back then. Were they because he really liked her, or because he wanted to use her to get the inheritance?
Furthermore, no matter what Connor said, Freya would not believe him.
“Freya, I really do like you. I really want to be with you!”
Connor looked at Freya sincerely.
Freya looked at Connor and asked, “Of course I know you want to be with me. But can you tell me if you want to be with me because of the inheritance? Or because of me as a person?”
“I’m doing this because of you!”
Connor answered without thinking.
“Alright, since that’s the case, then go and tell Thomas that you want to give up this inheritance. As long as you can give up this inheritance, 1’11 immediately agree to reconcile with you.”
Freya stopped struggling and called out to Connor softly.
When Connor heard Freya’s words, he was once again stunned on the spot. A hint of conflict flashed across his eyes.
Freya quickly noticed this dilemma and said coldly, “Connor, you say that you love me, but when I asked you to give up your inheritance, you still felt conflicted. This means that you don’t love me that much at all. I admit that you’re the first man I’ve fallen in love with. I love you, and I’m ready to be with you and become your wife. I can even have children for you. I don’t care if you have no money or skill because 1 don’t think that all of this is important. What’s really important is that you love me. But I can’t be sure if you really do love me now. If I’m not as important as the inheritance in your eyes, why should I be with you?”
Connor looked at Freya and said nothing.
“I think you should calm down and think about what you need!”Freya looked at Connor and continued.
“What do 1 need?” Connor could not help but mutter.
Freya shook off Connor’s hand and turned around to walk towards the car.
By the time Connor reacted, Freya and Priscilla had already left.
“That’s right, what do I need?”
Connor could not help but sigh softly. Then, he turned around and prepared to return to the Empire World Building. However, just as Connor was about to go back, a strange voice came from behind him.
“Oh my, isn’t that Connor? What happened to you just now? Has your rich heir act finally been demolished?”
When Connor heard this voice, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he turned around and looked behind him. He realized that the person who spoke was Cindy Stone!
“Why are you here?” Connor whispered to Cindy.
“Why can’t I be here? You looked so serious when you confessed to the beauty just now. To be honest, if I didn’t know that you were a poor loser, I might have agreed to it. You’re really something. Just this morning, you pretended to be a rich heir in the showroom to buy a house, and now you’re here to lie to a rich and beautiful woman in the afternoon. It’s a pity that no one seems to have fallen for it…”
Cindy looked at Connor and mocked him. Actually, she hadn’t heard what Connor and Freya had said at all. She had only guessed it based on their expressions.
Connor glanced at Cindy indifferently. He was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Cindy. He directly walked towards the Empire World Building’s building.
At this moment, Scarlett suddenly walked out of the building and happened to see Connor.
“Mr. McDonald…”
Scarlett opened her mouth to greet Connor, but Connor did not even look at her and walked straight into the building.
He was not in the mood to bother with Scarlett.
“Connor, don’t you want to go? Why are you walking so fast? Let’s have a good chat!”
After Cindy saw Connor enter the Empire World Building, she chased after him relentlessly. However, when Cindy saw Scarlett, she did not continue to chase after Connor. Instead, she stopped and grabbed onto Scarlett’s arm. She smiled at Scarlett and said, “Scarlett, are you off work?”
Scarlett was stunned when she saw Cindy talking to Connor. She asked Cindy softly. “Cindy, do you know Mr. McDonald?”
Cindy pouted and asked, “Cousin, are you talking about that guy just now?”
“Yeah, how do you know Mr. McDonald?” Scarlett replied with an incredulous expression.
“What Mr. McDonald? That person is called Connor, and he is from the same school as Dominic. He is just a poor loser, but he usually likes to pretend to be a rich heir and deceive people everywhere. I think there must be something wrong with his heart!”
Cindy pouted and replied. Then, she turned to Scarlett and asked, “Cousin, how do you know him? And why did you call him Mr. McDonald? Did he also lie to you about being a rich heir? Let me tell you, this Connor is not some rich heir at all. He’s just a poor delivery man. Don’t be deceived by him, or it’ll be too late for you to regret it…”
After Scarlett heard Cindy’s words, she could not help but take a deep breath. Then, with a helpless expression, she asked, “Cindy, why did you say that Connor is a liar?”
“Why wouldn’t I say that he’s a liar?” Cindy blinked and looked at Scarlett. “Scarlett, Connor went to the showroom of Evergrande Real Estate today and said that he wanted to buy all the remaining houses. Don’t you think it’s funny? Those houses are worth more than one billion dollars, and he actually wants to buy them all. Moreover, the people in the showroom actually believed him. 1 really don’t know what those people are thinking!”
Scarlett looked at Cindy and smiled helplessly. She couldn’t help but think to herself that Connor might be able to afford all the houses in Porthampton, so he definitely could afford the ones in the showroom.
As the new Chairman of the Empire World Corporation, even a big shot like Thomas Morgan had to be respectful to Connor. However, when it came to Cindy, Connor had actually become a swindler. Scarlett did not know how to explain it to Cindy.
However, Scarlett was also a smart person. She knew that Connor did not like to expose his identity. Moreover, Thomas had also told this to her, so very few people in the Empire World Corporation would mention Connor’s identity.
Scarlett also had her own thoughts—she felt that the more people knew about Connor’s identity, the more competitors she would have.
Therefore, she didn’t plan to tell Cindy about Connor’s true identity, but she could make good use of Cindy, at least. This way, it would be much easier for her to get close to Connor..
