“Why would I lie to you?”
Maya pouted and said in a bad mood, “This Connor really is my cousin’s fiance!”
“Why would your cousin get such a person to be her fiance? Other than his good looks, he doesn’t have any other good points, alright? What is your cousin thinking?” Maya’s friend quickly asked.
“Actually, Connor is just a little poor. In other aspects, he is quite good!”
For some reason, Maya, who had always looked down on Connor, actually put in a good word for him. Perhaps it was because Connor had helped Freya find an investor for her company last time that her impression of Connor had changed subtly.
However, this still did not change the fact that Maya thought that Connor was a poor loser. She just did not think that he was that annoying anymore.
“I don’t see what’s good about him. The Immortal Lake Manor is closed today, but he’s still trying to go in. There must be something wrong with his brain!” Maya’s friend said with a pout.
“That’s right. There’s a company banquet at the Immortal Lake Manor today. Why would he go in?”
Maya only reacted when she heard this. She quickly shouted in Connor’s general direction. “Connor, Immortal Lake Manor is holding a company banquet today. Ordinary guests have been chased out, so you can’t enter!”
Maya thought that Connor was going to buy tickets, so she kindly reminded him of this fact.
Although she didn’t think that Connor would come here to spend money, Connor should still be able to afford a ticket that cost a few thousand yuan.
Connor turned to look at Maya and said lightly, “Just because you two can’t enter doesn’t mean that I can’t!”
“You…”
Maya glared fiercely at Connor and was instantly speechless. She then scolded loudly, “You really don’t know what’s good for you!”
Maya had wanted to remind Connor out of kindness that the manor was no longer receiving guests, but she did not expect Connor to say something like that. Maya was naturally very angry.
“Maya, it seems that your cousin’s fiance is not only poor, but also likes to act cool! The staff inside said that there would be a company banquet at the resort today, so all the famous CEOs in Porthampton would be there. Other than then, no one can enter at all. But this kid actually said that he could enter. This is too funny!”
A girl who was not on good terms with Maya could not help but mock her softly.
“That’s right, this kid is definitely posturing! If he could really enter, it means that he’s a waiter at the resort. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to enter!” another girl added.
“There is a second possibility. Perhaps this kid is the distinguished guest that the Immortal Lake Manor is preparing to receive!” The girl beside Maya said in a strange tone.
“Hahaha…”
When the surrounding girls heard this, they immediately burst out laughing with disdain on their faces.
Obviously, they all felt that Connor was not a VIP of the Immortal Lake Manor, so they all treated this as a joke.
After Maya heard everyone’s mocking laughter, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable. She felt that these people were not only mocking Connor, but also Freya and even herself.
“This damned Connor, why do I run into him everywhere I go? What a nuisance!” Maya couldn’t help but curse in her heart. Then, she turned her head and shouted at her friend beside her, “Alright, stop laughing. Let’s go!”
When everyone saw that Maya seemed to be a little angry, they all stopped laughing and walked towards the roadside.
Meanwhile, Connor stood at the door and waited quietly for Thomas’s men to come and welcome him. His expression was very relaxed; the whole of the Immortal Lake Manor belonged to him.
“Young Master McDonald!”
Connor waited for two minutes before a middle-aged man in a black suit ran out of the manor with a flustered expression.
Connor turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man indifferently.
“Young Master McDonald, I’m really sorry. I was delayed by something just now, so 1 came a little late. 1 hope you won’t hold it against me and don’t lower yourself to my level!”
The middle-aged man explained to Connor respectfully.
When the two security guards at the door heard the middle-aged man’s words, their eyes widened in disbelief. This was because they knew that the man who had appeared here was none other than the general manager of the Immortal Lake Resort, Titus Jenkins.
Even when the deputy mayor of Porthampton came to inspect, Titus wasn’t nearly as nervous. However, when he faced a poor loser who looked a little shabby, he actually showed such a panicked expression. The security guard felt that everything was unbelievable.
Connor sized up the middle-aged man and asked indifferently. “You are the person in charge of the Immortal Lake Manor?”
“Yes, yes! My name is Titus, and I’m now the general manager of Immortal Lake Manor!” the middle-aged man replied respectfully.
“Oh, 1 see!” Connor nodded his head lightly and didn’t say anything.
“Young Master McDonald, it’s too hot outside. Let’s go inside and talk!” At this moment, Titus was very respectful to Connor. When he spoke to Connor, his was half-bent over in a bow.
“Yes!”
Connor didn’t argue with Titus about his tardiness. After all, he’d called Thomas Morgan only when he arrived here, so it was normal for Titus to be late.
“Young Master McDonald, this way please!” Titus called out respectfully, then led Connor into the Immortal Lake Manor.
On the other side, Maya and her friend were standing by the roadside, waiting for a taxi to arrive.
At that moment, a girl suddenly shouted at Maya. “Maya, your cousin’s fiance seems to have really entered the manor!”
When Maya heard this, she quickly turned around and saw Connor and Titus walking into the manor.
When she saw this, her mouth dropped open and she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Connor actually went in?”
When the others saw Connor walk into the manor, they all revealed shocked expressions, their eyes filled with surprise.
Just now, the staff of the Immortal Lake Manor had said that there was an important banquet to be held today, so they’d chased all the tourists out of the manor. Maya and the others happened to be among the ones who were chased out.
And yet, at this moment, Connor could actually enter the Immortal Lake Manor.. Could he really be the VIP of this banquet?
