At Lume, in a private room.
Connor looked at Freya and decided to tell her everything that had happened during this period.
No matter what, Freya was also a participant in this, so she had the right to know.
“I originally thought that Thomas was just joking with me, but when 1 went to Thomas’s office, I realized that all of that was true!”
Connor paused before continuing, “Moreover, the inheritance I’m about to inherit is a sky-high price. Its value is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. However, Thomas also told me that if I want to inherit this inheritance, I must fulfill a condition…”
“What condition?” Freya hurriedly asked.
“The condition is that I have to marry you!” Connor replied.
“…” Hearing this, Freya was stunned.
After a while, she finally came back to her senses and asked, “You mean, if you want to inherit, you have to marry me, right?”
“Yes!” Connor lightly nodded, then helplessly smiled bitterly and continued, “When I first heard this condition, 1 also found it unbelievable. I don’t know what the connection between inheriting and marrying you is, but this is what the contract states. Moreover, you have to marry me willingly…”
“So you started to get close to me to inherit the inheritance, right?” Freya asked Connor in disbelief.
“No…”Connor shook his head lightly and continued,” It was Thomas who arranged our meeting. For me to inherit the inheritance smoothly, Thomas even specially made you my fiancee!”
“…” Freya stared at Connor, her face filled with shock.
She had never thought that her engagement with Connor was planned by Thomas, and the person who helped Freya’s father’s company out of its predicament was also Thomas.
“If I want to inherit this inheritance, 1 must marry you. However, under this premise, there is another requirement. No matter the situation, as long as we are not married, 1 can’t expose my identity to you. Once you know my true identity, I will lose the qualification to inherit the inheritance!” Connor looked at Freya and continued.
After hearing these, Freya could not help but take a deep breath, her chest heaved. Only now did she realize that her engagement with Connor was because of this.
It was not a coincidence that Connor had become her fiance. Someone had planned all of this. It was just that Freya had been kept in the dark.
“No wonder the manager of New Century Restaurant was so respectful to you when I first met you!
“No wonder your ex-girlfriend would rather ruin her reputation than try her best to save you!
“No wonder Thomas was willing to invest in my company, and Cody was so afraid of you after knowing your identity!”
“No wonder the Immortal Lake Manor general manager, Titus Jenkins, respects you so much and claimed that a real vase was fake!”
“No wonder so many company CEOs visited you at my grandfather’s birthday party!”
“…” Freya screamed at Connor agitatedly. In the end, her voice began to turn hoarse, and tears began to well up in her eyes – she had figured out what was going on.
She could not imagine how stupid she was back then to be deceived by Connor for so long!
She felt as if her world was about to collapse.
“Freya…”
Connor felt incredibly guilty when he saw Freya like this. He tried to explain.
“So the reason why they did this was because they knew your true identity long ago. As your fiancee, 1 didn’t know anything. I thought you were just an ordinary student. Connor, oh, Connor, you’re really good at acting!” Freya gritted her teeth and shouted coldly.
“I didn’t mean to hide it from you, but there’s such a rule in the inheritance contract!” Connor replied helplessly.
“In other words, you chose to lie to me to inherit this inheritance, and I’m just a tool for you, right?” Freya snarled.
“In the beginning, we had no feelings for each other. I also knew that people like you definitely wouldn’t like me. Moreover, you only agreed to marry me because you wanted to help your father’s company. We only wanted what we needed. However, as we interacted more and more, I realized that 1 have fallen for you, and I really want to marry you…” Connor explained with sincerely.
“Haha…” When Freya heard this, she couldn’t help but sneer. Then, she said coldly, “You have fallen for me? Can you stop joking with me? You want to use me to inherit the inheritance successfully. If it weren’t for that inheritance, would you still treat me like this?”
“I…” Connor looked at Freya and froze. He did not know what to say. After all, he had indeed approached Freya with such thoughts.
Connor wouldn’t have gotten so close to Freya if he hadn’t wanted to inherit that inheritance.
“To put it bluntly, you don’t like me at all or love me. You just want to use me to get the inheritance!” Freya shouted at Connor.
Connor hesitated, smiled helplessly and said, “Think whatever you want. 1 have nothing now, and I will soon become a pauper. You are still the eldest daughter of the Phillips Family. If I have nothing, you won’t be with me, right? Therefore, these things were meaningless!”
“Smack!”
When Freya heard Connor’s words, she stood up and slapped him without thinking. Then, she glared at Connor and shouted, “Connor, have some conscience and think about it.. When did I say that I am with you because of money? When did I say that I would leave you if you had no money?”
