Connor returned to Thomas’s side with a disappointed expression, then whispered to him, “I’m sorry. I was too impulsive just now…”
“Mr. McDonald, you shouldn’t have gone over just now! Yannick was just trying to provoke you and delay time!”
Thomas replied helplessly. Then, he looked at the elevator and said in a low voice, “Now, we can only leave it to fate!”
Connor took a deep breath, then sat beside Thomas and slowly closed his eyes.
In an instant, the entire office fell silent, as if only the ticking of the clock on the wall could be heard.
Time passed by slowly.
Thomas kept staring at his phone. When the last half hour was over, he revealed a helpless smile and sighed softly, “Maybe this is fate!”
Connor, who was sitting next to Thomas, also realized the outcome of the matter after hearing this sentence.
At this moment, Connor did not feel sad because he was about to lose this inheritance. However, he was heartbroken because Freya did not appear. He did not expect that at this critical moment, Freya would still choose to not forgive him.
“Mr. Lozano!”
Yannick Lee shouted at Jonas Lozano excitedly when he saw the time was up.

Jonas turned and glanced at Yannick, then slowly stood up and said to Thomas, “Mr. Morgan, the hour is up, and Miss Phillips isn’t here yet. 1 should be able to announce the outcome of the arbitration now, right?”

When Thomas heard this, he instinctively looked at Jonas.
He originally planned to have Jonas wait for another half an hour, but later he felt that it was no longer necessary.
After all, if Freya really wanted to help Connor, an hour was definitely enough.
However, if Freya did not care about Connor’s life or death at all, she would not come even if she had a day.
“Mr. Lozano, let’s not waste any more time. Hurry up and announce the results!”
Yannick shouted at Jonas impatiently.
Jonas turned and glanced at Connor and Thomas. After seeing that neither of them had any objections, he said softly, “Alright, then I will announce the result of the arbitration. According to the evidence provided by ATr. Yannick Lee, our lawyers unanimously believe that Mr. Connor McDonald has violated the provisions of the inheritance contract, so from now on, we will cancel…”
Ding dong!
Before Jonas could finish speaking, the elevator suddenly sounded.
When Thomas heard the elevator, a hint of excitement flashed across his face. He hurriedly shouted, “Mr. Lozano, wait a moment!”
Jonas turned and glanced at Thomas, but he didn’t say anything.
Connor and Yannick also turned their heads to look at the elevator. At this moment, Yannick began to feel a little nervous. He was worried that Freya would suddenly appear.
The elevator door slowly opened!
Everyone widened their eyes and stared at the elevator door.
However, when they saw the person walking out of the elevator, they were all dumbfounded!
The person who walked out of the elevator was not Freya, but the lobby manager of the Empire World Building, Scarlett Moore!
When Connor saw Scarlett, a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes. Then, he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
“Miss Moore, what are you doing here?”
A hint of disappointment flashed across Thomas’s face as he asked Scarlett angrily.
“Mr. Morgan… I…”
Scarlett seemed to be frightened by Thomas’s tone and stammered as she tried to explain.
“What is it?”
Thomas shouted as he stared at the woman, then continued, “Didn’t 1 tell you this morning that 1 have a very important meeting today? No one is allowed to come in and disturb us.”
“Mr. Morgan, I… I know you have a very important meeting today, that’s why 1 came up…”
Scarlett said with a trembling voice.
“What are you doing up here?”
Yannick felt that Scarlett might be stalling for time for Connor, so he shouted impatiently.
When Scarlett heard this, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, she asked Thomas with trepidation, “Mr. Morgan, can I tell you now?” “Hurry up and tell me!”
Thomas replied coldly.
“Alright, then…”
Scarlett quickly nodded and whispered, “Mr. Hayes brought a woman over. They’re downstairs at the company now. They said they were here to look for Mr. McDonald, but you had previously instructed that no one was allowed to come in and disturb your meeting, so I didn’t let them come up. Mr. Hayes got a little angry, so 1 had no choice but to come and ask you if you want to see them!”
When Thomas heard Scarlett’s words, a hint of excitement flashed across his face. He quickly asked, “Mr. Kyle Hayes, right?”
“Yes!”
Scarlett nodded lightly.
“Then, the woman that came with him is called Freya Phillips, right?”
Thomas continued to ask.
“I don’t know the woman’s name, but Mr. Hayes did call her Miss Phillips…” Scarlett hesitated for a moment and said softly.
“Then, why are you still standing here? Hurry up and invite them up!”
Thomas shouted excitedly.
“Invite them up?”
“Stop talking nonsense. Go down and bring the two of them up…”
Thomas reached out and pushed Scarlett into the elevator. Then, he walked quickly to Jonas and said loudly, “Mr. Lozano, Miss Phillips is already downstairs. She will be up soon. Can you wait for another minute?”
When Jonas heard this, he hesitated for a moment and then said lightly, “Alright then. Since Miss Phillips has already arrived, let’s wait!”
After saying this, Jonas sat back down.
Connor stared at the elevator with an extremely excited expression.
Regardless of whether Connor could still inherit the inheritance or not, at least he would not feel too sad about it. Fie felt that as long as Freya could appear, it meant that everything was worth it.
“Mr. Lozano, the agreed time has already passed. Why do we have to continue waiting?”
Yannick shouted at Jonas.
“Mr. Lee, you’re just a whistle-caller for the Arbitration Council this time. How the arbitration is conducted is our business, so you don’t have the right to interfere with our business now!”
Jonas turned and glanced at Yannick as he said calmly.
“Why you…”
Hearing Jonas’s words, Yannick’s eyes flashed with anger. He then gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I’d like to see how you plan to mediate Connor today!”
Jonas glanced at Yannick indifferently and didn’t say anything.
In fact, Yannick could also feel that Jonas was biased toward Connor and Freya. After all, he wasn’t a fool. Jonas could tell what was going on with just one glance!
But he couldn’t judge Connor based on his own feelings. He had to act according to the evidence no matter what.
Thomas couldn’t bring out the evidence that Yannick had framed Connor, but Yannick did bring out the evidence that Connor had exposed his identity in front of Freya.
Therefore, Jonas could only follow Yannick’s suggestion and hold this arbitration.
Ding dong!
At this moment, the elevator doors finally opened again.
Kyle walked out of the elevator first.
After Kyle walked out of the elevator, he bowed slightly and raised his right hand.. He said softly, “Miss Phillips, this way!”
