On the other side.

Connor followed Mr. Hoffman out of the meeting room and came to a corner.

He expressionlessly asked, “Mr. Hoffman, what happened just now? Why can’t 1 transfer money?”

“Mr. McDonald, Mr. Morgan is not in the company now, and I can’t contact him either. Without his consent, the finance department won’t be able to transfer the money over, and they invested so much money in one go!” Mr. Hoffman explained helplessly to Connor.

“Is this company mine or Thomas’s? I’m the real Chairman. Don’t I have a say in this?”

Connor was a little emotional at this moment; at such a critical moment, if Connor could not invest in Freya’s company, then he might really become a liar in her heart.

“Young Master McDonald, it’s true that you’re the Chairman, but Mr. Morgan and 1 are the only ones who know your identity. Moreover, Mr. Morgan has always been the acting chairman, so such a large sum of money needs his approval no matter what!” Mr. Hoffman explained as if he was treading on thin ice.

“Hu…”

After hearing this, Connor couldn’t help but sigh. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Then is there any other way now?”

“I have an idea. If you’re really in a hurry, you can use the money in your account to invest in this company!” Mr. Hoffman said as he looked at Connor.

“That won’t do. If I use my own money to invest in Freya, she will definitely find out that I gave her the money. At that time, things will become even more complicated!”

Connor directly rejected this idea and then asked, “Can you contact Mr. Morgan now?”

“Before 1 came here, 1 already called Mr. Morgan, but his phone was turned off…” Mr. Hoffman said helplessly.

“What is Thomas doing? He always screws up at the critical moment!” Connor gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, incredulous.

Mr. Hoffman hesitated for a moment and suggested softly, “Mr. McDonald, Mr. Morgan’s plane was delayed. He should still be on the plane now! If it really doesn’t work out, you can go and tell Freya and the others that we’ll transfer the money to them tomorrow. Mr. Morgan will definitely personally come over tomorrow!”

“This is the only way now!” Connor sighed helplessly and continued, “Call the Empire World Corporation’s investors now and ask them to cancel the cooperation with the Shen family. This way, it should be able to prove your identity!”

“Alright, I can make the decision on this matter!”

Mr. Hoffman quickly nodded and took out his phone to call the Empire World Corporation’s investment department.

A moment later, Connor and Mr. Hoffman returned to the meeting room.

When Cody saw them return, he laughed and said, “Connor, have you already discussed with him how to continue fooling us?”

Connor looked at Cody indifferently and ignored him. Instead, he whispered to Freya, “Freya, Mr. Hoffman said that the Chairman of their company can’t be contacted now. Can you set the time for the financing to be tomorrow?”

“Hahaha…”

When Cody heard this, he immediately laughed out loud and said to Freya, “See, Freya? 1 was right. I told you this kid would continue to fool us! Look at what he’s saying. He can’t contact the Chairman? Are you kidding me?”

When the other shareholders in the meeting room heard Connor’s words, they also began to laugh.

“Connor, do you think we’re idiots? Yesterday, you pushed it to today, and today, you pushed it to tomorrow. What excuse are you going to find to fool us tomorrow? Would it kill you to admit that you couldn’t find an investor?”

Maya scolded Connor mercilessly.

“The Chairman of our company is still here…” Mr. Hoffman knew that he was responsible for what happened today, so he opened his mouth to explain.

“It’s alright, Mr. Hoffman, you don’t have to explain anymore!”

However, at this moment, Freya suddenly interrupted him. She stood up and walked over to Connor, asking him with a serious expression, “Connor, tell me the truth. Did you hire this man to put on an act?”

“No!” Connor shook his head.

“Very good!”

Freya smiled coldly and nodded. Then, she shouted with an unusually disappointed expression, “Connor, you’re still lying to me even now. I, Freya, hate it when people lie to me the most. Leave now. 1 don’t want to see you again!”

“Freya, 1…”

“Didn’t you hear me? Do you want me to call security in and kick you two out?”

Freya did not give Connor a chance to explain at all. When Connor said that he wanted to set the date of the financing for tomorrow, she was already certain that he was lying to her.

“Miss Lin, I’m really from the Empire World Corporation…” Mr. Hoffman also wanted to explain himself.

“I don’t care who you are. 1 don’t need your investment now. Please get out!” Freya pointed at the entrance of the conference room and shouted at them.

Connor stood there and hesitated for two seconds. Then, he gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.

He had originally wanted to help Freya out of goodwill, but he did not expect that his warm face would be met with cold resistance.

He had sacrificed so much for Freya, but in return, she had humiliated him again and again.

At this moment, Freya had already spoken so heartlessly. Connor felt that there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

When Mr. Hoffman saw that Connor was about to leave, he quickly followed him out of the meeting room.

“A loser is a loser. No matter how much you pretend to be a rich second-generation heir, it’s impossible for it to become true!”

Cody saw that Connor was about to leave and couldn’t help but mock him.

“Thud thud thud thud!”

However, just as Connor was about to reach the door of the conference room, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out.

In the next second, the door of the meeting room was pushed open.

Thomas Morgan strode into the meeting room!

When Cody saw him, he froze on the spot, the smile on his face equally stiff.

Mr. Hoffman wasn’t famous in Porthampton, so not many people knew him.

However, Thomas was different; as the acting Chairman of the Empire World Corporation, he could be said to be someone that everyone in Oprana knew.

Every big shot worth their salt knew who Thomas was.

Therefore, when Thomas appeared in the meeting room, everyone was stunned. Their expressions were all one of shock.

“Connor—Mr. McDonald, I’m sorry. I just came back from a business trip in Beverly Hills, so I’m a little late!”

In order not to expose Connor’s identity, Thomas explained himself as if they were friends.

“It’s alright!” Connor said lightly.

After everyone heard the conversation between Connor and Thomas, their expressions became even more shocked—they never thought that Connor would really know Thomas!

The entire meeting room instantly fell into a deathly silence. It was so quiet that the atmosphere would intimidate anyone.

Everyone held their breaths, not even daring to breathe loudly. They felt that what had happened today was too unbelievable..
