Connor looked at Quinn who was kneeling in front of him with a helpless expression.
He could not help but hesitate for a moment before continuing, “Stand up. How am I supposed to talk to you while you’re kneeling on the ground…”
Upon hearing Connor’s words, she hurriedly stood up and looked at Connor with a very serious expression. “Mr. McDonald, if you don’t let me repay you, I won’t let you pay for my mother’s treatment. Please let me do something!” Connor knew that if he didn’t let Quinn do something, she would definitely not change her mind because this girl was too stubborn.
Connor hesitated for a couple of seconds before asking Quinn softly, “Quinn, how old are you this year?”
“Eighteen!”
Quinn quickly replied.
“Eighteen years old?”
Connor thought for a moment and then said,” You should still be in high school, right?”
“My friends who are the same age as me are all in their third year of high school. They’re about to take the college entrance examination, but I had to take care of my mother, so I dropped out of school in my first year of high school…”
Quinn said to Connor with a disappointed expression.
“How are your grades?”
Connor asked indifferently.
“My grades are not bad. My teacher said that if I work hard in my third year of high school, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to get into a first-tier university…”
Quinn replied.
“Your grades are so good. It would be a pity if you didn’t continue studying!” Connor sighed softly and continued, “How about this? I’ll get Thomas to make arrangements for you. After your mother recovers, you can go straight to the Porthampton University to study. I’ll also pay for your tuition fees…”
Quinn was stunned again after hearing Connor’s words. She seemed to be even more surprised.
Because Connor had just said that he wanted to treat her mother’s illness, and now he wanted to arrange for her to go to school. Quinn was so excited that she didn’t know what to say.
“Mr. McDonald, I don’t know how to thank you for helping my mother. And now you’re going to help me with my studies? I don’t know how to thank you!” Quinn exclaimed.
“As long as you go to the Porthampton University, you’ll be thanking me!” Connor whispered to Quinn.
Quinn looked at Connor and asked with a puzzled expression, “Mr. McDonald, what do you mean by that?”
“This is how I see it. Don’t you want to repay me? You can’t help me now, so I’m going to let you study in school for a while. After you finish university, I’ll arrange for you to work in Thomas’s company and help me manage my business. What do you think?”
Connor said to Quinn with a smile.
Quinn looked at Connor with gratitude. She didn’t know how to express her feelings.
Although Connor said that he wanted Quinn to repay him, he was actually helping Quinn.
Connor was giving Quinn a chance to change her fate.
If there was no Connor, Quinn might live in this small town for the rest of her life. If she was lucky, she could find someone she liked, get married, have children, and spend an ordinary life. If she was unlucky, she might become a plaything in the hands of the rich.
However, she was very lucky to meet Connor.
“Mr. McDonald, you’re such a good person. Why are you so good to me?”
Quinn asked Connor softly.
Actually, I’m doing this for myself. I need someone I can trust to help me manage the company, and you’re the person I trust!”
Connor calmly replied.
Quinn understood what he meant by that. She said in a serious tone, “Mr. McDonald, don’t worry. I definitely won’t let you down!”
“I believe you!”
Connor nodded lightly.
Quinn looked at Connor without saying anything.
Ten minutes later, Connor brought Quinn back to the hotel.
After arriving at the hotel, Connor first went to Thomas’s room and told him about Quinn.
This small matter was nothing to Thomas, so he agreed immediately.
After explaining these things to Thomas, Connor returned to his room alone.
Quinn returned home, wanting to share the good news with her mother.
After Connor returned to his room, he washed up and was ready to rest.
However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
When Connor heard the knocking on the door, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he frowned and asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Charles Ziegler!”
Charles’s voice sounded from outside the door.
When Connor heard Charles’s voice, he quickly sat up on the bed and asked softly, “Uncle Charles, is there something you need?”
“Mr. McDonald, I want to talk to you!”
Charles said calmly.
Connor hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door and opened it.
When Charles saw Connor, he asked softly, “Should I call you Mr. McDonald or Connor?”
“Call me whatever you prefer!”
Connor smiled faintly, then turned around and returned to his room.
Charles sighed softly and followed Connor into the room.
“Please sit!”
Connor pointed at the sofa beside him and said.
“No, thank you…”
Charles replied faintly, then looked at Connor and said, “I didn’t expect you to hide it so well. I thought that you were just an ordinary poor student, but I didn’t expect you to be my boss. Now that I think about it, it’s really ridiculous…”
“Ridiculous?”
Connor looked at Charles and asked, “Why do you think it’s ridiculous?”
“Connor, I’m warning you. Although I’m your subordinate, I’m speaking to you as Sabrina’s father. Personal and work matters don’t mix. Don’t think that I’ll be like the others, respectful to you after knowing your identity.”
Charles looked at Connor seriously.
“I know. Just say what you want to say. There’s no need to beat around the bush with me!”
Connor sat on the sofa and said calmly.
“Why did you deliberately hide your identity and get close to my daughter?”
Charles asked Connor.
“I hid my identity to get close to your daughter?”
Connor smiled helplessly when he heard Charles’s words.
“What’s that smile for? Do you think I don’t know? You pretended to be a poor student and deliberately approached my daughter. You must have some ulterior motive!”
Charles shouted after seeing Connor smile.
