Chapter 76: Mina Is Disappointed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mina was wearing a low-cut halter dress, and she looked sexy.
Her legs were exposed, and she was wearing white yoga pants. She looked gorgeous.
She was carrying a few shopping bags. She looked like she had just returned from the supermarket.
Mina looked a little tired, possibly because of the heavy bags.
Connor hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly walked up to Mina and said with a smile, “Mina, let me help you with the bags!”
Mina turned and glared at him. She didn’t say anything and walked straight into the residential area. She didn’t want to pay Connor any attention.
Connor seemed a little awkward as he stood in place. He felt very uncomfortable.
After all, he had been silently protecting Mina, worrying about her.
However, Mina’s cold shoulder and disregard were what he got in return. That was hard to swallow.
Just as Mina was about to enter the residential area, the roar of an engine suddenly came from afar.
A black Honda Accord slowed to a stop arrogantly at the residential area entrance.
Then, Todd got out of the car, panicking.
When Connor saw Todd, he was instinctively surprised.
He had never expected that Kyle would act so fast on the matter.
It had only been less than half an hour, and he had already solved the problem? Connor panicked a little. If Todd saw him, he would take the initiative to talk to him.
If Mina were to see that, Connor’s identity might very well be exposed. Therefore, Connor was momentarily paralyzed, unsure about what to do! When Connor saw Todd appear at the residential area entrance, he was a little nervous.
Although Connor had previously told Mina that he was CeeM, Connor had only impulsively revealed his identity out of his concern for Mina’s safety.
However, Connor did not intend to reveal his identity back then. He did not want Mina to know what happened between him and Todd Knowles.
After getting out of the car, Todd walked straight into the residential area.
Perhaps because he was in a hurry, Todd did not notice Connor immediately. After hesitating, Connor hid behind a car.
“Mina!”
At that moment, Todd suddenly shouted.
When Mina heard someone calling her name, she was stunned before turning to look at Todd.
Mina did not know that Todd was Knowles of Porthampton, who had been making things difficult for her in Twitch. However, she knew Kenzo, who was following Todd.
When Mina saw Kenzo, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. Then, she instinctively looked at Connor at the residential area entrance.
After all, Mina had just seen Connor standing there. She thought Connor wouldn’t leave so soon, so she hoped that he was still there to help her.
However, when Mina saw Connor behind the car, she was surprised. Then, disdain came over her expression.
She could see Connor hiding behind the car from where she was standing, while Todd and Kenzo could not see him.
“Yesterday, when Hector was beaten up, Connor hid in the living room without saying anything. Now that Kenzo is here looking for me, Connor is hiding again. I was blind back then to be friends with someone like Connor!”
Mina sighed disappointedly. Then, she turned around and walked toward Todd and the others.
“You’re Mina, right?”
Todd scanned Mina from head to toe and asked her gently.
“That’s right. I’m Mina. I thought about it last night. As long as you guys don’t cause trouble for my friends and me, 1 will sign a contract with Knowles of Porthampton on Twitch!”
Mina felt that she, a weak woman, was no match for these people, so she gave in weakly.
“Well, Mina, I think you might have misunderstood!” Todd looked at Mina and grinned, then continued, “I’m Knowles of Porthampton from Twitch!” “You’re Knowles of Porthampton?”
After hearing what Todd had to say, a hint of confusion flashed in Mina’s eyes.
“Yes, yes. I’m Knowles of Porthampton!”
Todd nodded lightly, looked at Mina, and continued, “Well, I feel that there might have been some misunderstanding between us. It was indeed a little rude of me to send someone to you earlier. For that, I apologize!”
After Todd said that, he bowed deeply to Mina.
Mina looked at Todd, surprised.
She really couldn’t understand why Todd, who had sent people to threaten her last night, was now acting like a different person. He had come to apologize to her!
After Kenzo and the others saw Todd apologize, they bowed and apologized to Mina.
“What’s this?”
Mina shouted in confusion.
“Miss Mina, we don’t mean to scare you. We just came here to apologize to you.
If you had said earlier that you knew Mr. Kyle Hayes, we wouldn’t have dared to make things difficult for you even if we were beaten to death!” Todd said with a smile.
“Mr. Kyle Hayes?”
Mina was utterly dumbfounded because she had no idea what Todd was talking about!
“Miss Mina, here’s 50,000 dollars. I heard that one of my men injured your friend yesterday. This is for the medical expenses. In the future, you can do whatever you want on Twitch. I won’t bother you anymore, and I won’t force you to sign a contract with me!”
Todd said as he handed 50,000 dollars to Mina.
Then, before Mina could react, Todd turned around and left with his men.
A moment later, the black Honda Accord disappeared from the residential area entrance.
Mina held the 50,000 dollars in her hand. She looked very confused.
“Is this Hector?”
Mina could not help but mutter softly after returning to her senses.
Not many people knew that Mina and Todd had a conflict. Only Connor and
Hector knew about it.
When Connor saw Todd and his men arriving, he immediately hid.
Mina felt that it was not Connor who helped her. If it were really Connor who helped her, he would have already stepped up and asked for praise!
So if it wasn’t Connor, then it should be Hector.
After all, when he left last night, Hector said he wanted to investigate who was threatening Mina.
Thinking of this, Mina felt warmth fill her heart, and her gratitude toward Hector grew even stronger.
She was initially hesitant about being Hector’s girlfriend, but now she knew her answer.
Hector was handsome, rich, and had a very good personality. Most importantly, he was able to stand up and protect her when the situation called for it. He was not a coward like Connor, who hid behind a car when he saw Todd and his men. Mina found it funny when she thought about it.
Earlier, Mina had a pretty good impression of Connor. Although he was a little poor, he was a good person.. But now, it was true that she should not judge a book by its cover!
