Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A beautiful woman walked out of the elevator.
Freya was wearing a short white skirt today. Her tall and sexy figure looked even more alluring under the contrast of the short skirt. Her entire body exuded an irresistible temptation.
Her fresh and refined face was covered with light makeup. Her bright eyes were crystal clear, and her sexy lips were covered with orange-red lipstick. Her short skirt was wrapped around her seductive buttocks, and her slender and fair legs were exposed to the air. She was also wearing a pair of black high heels. She looked extremely sexy and beautiful.
When Connor saw Freya appear, a hint of excitement flashed across his face. He hurriedly stood up and ran to Freya. He said softly to Freya, “Freya, you’re here.”
When Freya heard Connor’s words, she looked at him indifferently but ignored him. Instead, she walked directly to Thomas and said softly to him, “Mr. Morgan, I’m really sorry for being late…”
“It’s okay!”
Thomas replied with an excited expression. He then stood up and gave his seat to Freya. He chuckled and said, “Miss Phillips, please take a seat!”
Freya didn’t stand on ceremony and directly sat on Thomas’s seat.
“Hello, Miss Phillips. I’m the person in charge of Mr. Steven Lee’s legal team, Jonas Lozano!”
Jonas said to Freya very politely.
“Hello, Mr. Lozano!”
Freya nodded her head lightly before turning to look at Connor. She said expressionlessly, “Mr. Lozano, as Connor’s fiancee, I should also be qualified to participate in this Arbitration Council, right?”
“That’s right. Not only are you Mr. McDonald’s fiancee, but you’re also mentioned in Mr. Steven Lee’s will, so of course you’re qualified to participate in this arbitration!”
Jonas hurriedly replied.
“Then Mr. Lozano, I would like to ask you, how does your legal team plan to deal with Connor’s matter?”
Freya seemed to have changed into a different person as she asked Jonas with a very serious expression.
Connor stood beside Freya. He could feel that Freya was a little different from before.
Jonas looked at Freya from head to toe, then whispered to her, “Miss Phillips, the current situation is like this. Because Mr. McDonald had previously exposed his identity in front of you, this behavior has violated the third rule of Mr. Lee’s will. Therefore, we need to revoke Mr. McDonald’s right to inherit the inheritance according to the contract!”
Jonas said to Freya in a serious tone.
Freya smiled faintly when she heard this. She looked at Jonas and asked, “Mr. Lozano, how did you know that Connor violated the third rule?”
When everyone heard Freya’s words, they were all stunned. Their faces were filled with disbelief because they did not know what Freya meant by those words.
“Miss Phillips, what do you mean by that?”
Jonas also asked Freya with a puzzled expression.
“It’s very simple. I just want to ask how you are sure that Connor violated the third rule of the will?”
Freya repeated expressionlessly.
“Miss Phillips, have you seen Mr. Lee’s will?”
Jonas asked softly.
“Mr. Morgan told me about the will yesterday, but I haven’t seen it with my own eyes…”
Freya replied indifferently.
“Alright, then…”
Jonas nodded his head lightly, then looked at Freya and said, “Alright, since you haven’t seen this will with your own eyes, Miss Phillips, let me briefly explain the third rule in the will to you!”
“Go ahead.”
Freya looked at Jonas and nodded lightly.
Jonas took out Steven’s will, then looked at Freya and said, “Miss Phillips, the third rule of the will states that if Mr. McDonald wants to inherit the inheritance, Miss Phillips must fall in love with Mr. McDonald out of your own will. Mr. McDonald must also marry Miss Phillips!”
“I know that!”
Freya turned to look at Connor and said indifferently.
“However, there is a prerequisite to this rule. To prevent Mr. McDonald from using improper means to force Miss Phillips to marry him, before the two of you get married, Mr. McDonald is not allowed to reveal his identity and any information about the inheritance to Miss Phillips!” Jonas looked at Freya and continued.

Freya nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything else.
“Just now, according to the video provided by Mr. Yannick Lee, it has been confirmed that Mr. McDonald has already revealed his identity to you before fulfilling the third rule. Therefore, according to the will, we have the right to revoke Connor’s right to inherit the inheritance!” Seeing that Freya didn’t say anything, Jonas continued.
“In that case, I would like to ask you a question, Mr. Lozano. The third clause in the will states that I must sincerely fall in love with Connor, or that Connor must marry me. Which of these two conditions is more important?”
Freya asked softly.
Upon hearing Freya’s question, Jonas was obviously stumped because he did not know how to answer the question.
Was it more important for Freya to marry Connor, or was it more important for her to sincerely love Connor? Other than Steven Lee, who left this will, no one would be able to answer this question.
“Miss Phillips, I’m only the executor of the will, so I don’t know how to answer you. Because these two conditions are written in the will, neither can be missing!”
Jonas hesitated for a moment and said softly to Freya.
“I just want to know which of these two conditions is more important!”
Freya smiled faintly, then looked at Jonas and continued, “There should be a sentence in the third clause of the will. In order to prevent Connor from using other means to force me to get married, Connor must hide his identity before the two of us get married, right?”
“Yes!”
Jonas nodded lightly.
“Then, Mr. Lozano, the will stipulates that Connor must hide his identity from me to prevent him from tempting me with the money. This way, it can ensure that I don’t like Connor for other reasons?”
Freya asked in an orderly manner.
“You can see it that way!”
Jonas nodded again.
“In that case, if Connor exposed his identity after I fell in love with him, and it wasn’t because he wanted to expose himself, but because he wanted to save me, then can your lawyer team handle this matter appropriately?”
Freya looked at Jonas and continued to ask.
When Connor heard Freya’s words, he was stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
He could tell that Freya was implying that she had already fallen in love with Connor before his identity was exposed.
Therefore, even if Connor’s identity was exposed yesterday, he did not violate the third rule of the will!
