When Freya saw Shane Zimmerman and the others laughing at Connor, a hint of anger appeared on her face. She took a step forward and was about to speak but was stopped by Connor.
Connor narrowed his eyes and asked Shane, “Is the general manager of Eon Investment Company called Joshua Qualls?”
When Shane heard Connor’s words, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he frowned and asked, “Do you know the general manager of Eon Investment?”
Qahira, Ailee, and the others were also confused. After all, in their eyes, Connor was just a poor loser. It was impossible for him to know such a person.
Freya was also dumbfounded.
“I don’t…”
Connor smiled and shook his head, then continued, “I’ve only heard of this person’s name!”
“Oh! I knew it! Someone like you wouldn’t know Shane’s boss!”
Qahira quickly added.
“Shane’s boss?”
Connor couldn’t help but reveal a playful smile. Qahira probably didn’t know that Shane’s real boss was standing right in front of her.
Although the general manager of Eon Investment was Joshua Qualls, the real chairman of Eon Investment was Thomas Morgan.
In other words, Connor was actually the boss of Joshua Qualls’ boss!
Joshua only held 30% of the shares of the company, while Connor held 60%.
Previously, at the company banquet at the Fairy Lake Resort, Joshua had to queue for more than an hour before he could speak to Connor!
The reason why Connor mentioned Joshua’s name was to make Shane restrain himself. However, looking at Shane’s expression, he knew that Shane probably didn’t understand what he meant.
“I wonder what major Brother McDonald is studying in school now. If it’s related to finance, you can come to my company after you graduate. 1’11 arrange a job with a monthly salary of ten thousand dollars for you.”
Shane took a step forward and pretended to be enthusiastic as he spoke to Connor.
In fact, his words were very skillful. Not only could he inadvertently humiliate Connor, but he also said it in such a way that did not allow Connor to find any faults with his words. Most importantly, he could also show off his ability. It could be said that he was killing two birds with one stone.
“Nah!”
Connor said indifferently to Shane.
“Connor, you should be appreciative. Shane won’t casually introduce a job to someone. Are you sure you don’t want it? After you graduate, it’s basically impossible for you to find a job with a monthly salary of more than ten thousand dollars. But now, as long as Shane says the word, you can easily earn more than ten thousand a month. When you become a full-time employee, it won’t be a problem for you to earn fifty or sixty thousand dollars!” Qahira shouted at Connor in a strange tone.
“After Connor graduates, he will join my company, so you don’t have to worry about his work!”
Freya shouted with a frown, then pulled Connor and wanted to leave.
At this moment, Freya’s face had darkened. After all, no matter what, Connor was her fiance. But now, these people actually humiliated Connor in front of her. They simply did not put her in their eyes.
“Since Mr. McDonald is going to help Miss Freya’s company in the future, then 1 won’t do anything unnecessary. After all, it’s much easier to work under your fiancee!”
Shane sneered.
“Hahaha, Brother-in-Law, you just have to say that Connor is someone who depends on his wife. You don’t have to be so tactful!”
Zander burst out laughing.
Qahira and Ailee were also laughing hysterically.
When Connor heard Shane’s words, he could not help but turn his head and glare at Shane.
At this moment, in his gleeful delight of mocking Connor, Shane did not know how miserable he would be in the future.
At this moment, he was humiliating and mocking Connor without any restraint. However, Connor only needed one phone call to change Shane’s life.
“Connor, let’s go!”
Freya grabbed Connor and was prepared to leave.
“Freya, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Shane just booked a restaurant. Let’s go over and have a meal before leaving!”
Qahira saw that Freya was about to leave with Connor and hurriedly called out.
“You guys go ahead. Connor and I will go back first!”
Freya called out without turning her head.
“Don’t. Uncle and the others have already arrived at the restaurant. Isn’t it inappropriate if you don’t bring Connor over?” Qahira shouted again.
When Freya heard this, her expression changed drastically. She had not expected Qahira to call her parents over.
On the other hand, Qahira’s expression was very smug. She naturally wouldn’t let today’s scene end like this.
She wanted to utterly humiliate Connor in front of the Phillips Family and Freya’s parents, so she had already asked them to go to the restaurant.
“Qahira, why did you call my parents out when you want to eat with your fiance?”
Freya shouted angrily at Qahira.
“Isn’t your fiance here today? What’s wrong with us having fun together?”
Qahira replied with a smile, then continued, “Let’s hurry over. If we wait any longer, Uncle and the others will get angry…”
Freya looked at Qahira’s expression and was furious. She had never expected Qahira to go so far. Not only did she humiliate Connor here, but she even wanted to bring Connor to her parents and humiliate him in front of them. Wasn’t she clearly trying to embarrass her parents?
“Freya, don’t tell me you don’t dare to go over because you think Connor is too embarrassing?”
Zander said when he saw her standing there without saying anything.
“Why won’t 1 dare to go over?”
Freya gritted her teeth and replied softly, her expression becoming firm.
She knew that if she continued to reject her like this, it was very likely that it would affect Connor’s mood, so Freya pulled Connor and said, “Connor, let’s go. Someone is buying us a meal; it’s a waste not to eat free food!”

Connor glanced at Freya indifferently, his face turning dark.
Back then, he had refused to come to the Phillips Estate because he was worried that something like this would happen. However, he did not expect the Phillips Family to go so far.
Connor was really unwilling to let Freya and her parents lose face just because of his identity.
However, he couldn’t reveal his identity in front of Freya yet. Otherwise, Connor would show Shane that an idiot who didn’t want to die shouldn’t do anything stupid.
Shane and Qahira saw that Freya had agreed, so they got into the Land Rover and drove off.
Connor followed Freya into the Mercedes-Benz, while Ailee got into Zander’s BMW.
The three cars drove straight to the restaurant.
“Connor, I’m sorry. Qahira’s personality has been like this since she was young. If she says anything to you, don’t take it to heart!”
Freya whispered to Connor as she was driving.
“I should be the one who’s sorry. I’m the one who embarrassed you!”
Connor replied guiltily.
“Why would you embarrass me? You’re my fiance. As long as 1 feel that there’s nothing wrong with you, you’ll still be the best in my heart!” Freya hurriedly said.
When Connor heard Freya’s words, a warm feeling surged in his heart..
