After Cody heard what the middle-aged man said, he was stunned.

Then, he looked at Connor and asked with a puzzled expression, “You’re saying that this person is Freya’s fiance?”

“That’s right. It’s this kid. He just said that he could help Freya find a new investor!”

The middle-aged man nodded lightly.

Cody sized up Connor, then held his stomach and laughed out loud. He pointed at Connor and said, “Aren’t you the waiter at the bar last night? How are you Freya’s fiance?”

“What does being a waitress have to do with me being Freya’s fiance?” Connor asked.

“Nothing… It’s okay…” Cody laughed even more impudently.

Freya looked at Cody’s expression helplessly. However, since things had already reached this point, she did not want to explain anything. No matter how much she tried to explain, no one would believe her.

After laughing, Cody told Connor, “You’re just a bartender. What kind of investor can you find? And Freya, how were you looking for a boyfriend? How did you end up with a bartender? This is so hilarious…”

“Is it that funny? It’s my freedom to find anyone I like to be my boyfriend. What does it have to do with you?”

Freya couldn’t stand Cody’s mockery and snapped at him.

“I just feel that this loser isn’t worthy of you…”

“Freya would rather choose me, a waiter, than you. Have you ever thought about whether there’s something wrong with you?” Connor suddenly interrupted Cody.

Cody turned and glared fiercely at Connor. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I’m not in the mood to talk nonsense with you guys now. Freya, what do you plan to do? Do you want to continue to wait for the company to close down with this poor loser, or do you want to be with me?”

Freya hesitated before turning to look at Connor.

Although she knew Connor couldn’t find any investors, Connor’s confidence made her feel that there was still hope. What if a miracle happened?

“Prepare the withdrawal contract for them. I’ll call the investor over now!” Connor whispered to Freya.

“Connor, can you help Freya find an investor? If you can’t, stop bragging. Otherwise, if Freya doesn’t have the money to pay their compensation fees after signing the contract, the company will have to declare bankruptcy!” Maya said nervously to Connor.

Connor looked at Maya indifferently and did not say anything. He picked up his phone and walked out.

After everyone saw Connor leave, confusion flashed in their eyes.

They were curious whether this loser Connor could help Freya find an investor.

Freya took a deep breath and told Maya, “Maya, quickly get my assistant to prepare the contract!”

“Freya, are you really going to withdraw their shares? If Connor cannot find an investor, the consequences would be very serious!” Maya told Freya nervously.

“That’s right, Freya. Would you rather watch your company go bankrupt than be with me?” Cody stood up and asked Freya agitatedly.

After Freya heard Cody’s words, she looked at him coldly and said expressionlessly, “Cody, I’ve said it before. I will never be with someone like you in my life…”

“You…”

Cody looked at Freya furiously.

He could not understand why Freya would rather be with a loser like Connor than choose him!

“Maya, go prepare the contract!”

Freya knew that if she didn’t refund these people today, they wouldn’t let the matter rest. Therefore, regardless of whether Connor could help her find an investor, she had to refund these people.

As for the compensation, it would be best if Connor could find an investor. Freya would have to ask her father for help if he couldn’t.

After Connor left the conference room, he went straight to the office door and took out his phone to call Thomas.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

The phone rang for three minutes before Thomas picked up.

“Mr. McDonald, what’s up?” Thomas asked.

“I need you to help me invest in a company now. Invest 300 million dollars!” Connor replied expressionlessly.

“Alright, tell me the name of the company. I’ll arrange for someone to do it now!” Thomas quickly said.

“I can’t let anyone else do this. I need you to come over now. I’m at Freya Cosmetics Co., Ltd. This company belongs to my fiancee, Freya. I’m worried that my identity will be exposed, so 1 need you to talk to her about the investment personally!” Connor said quickly.

“Uhm…” When Thomas heard this, he was stunned and sounded a little awkward.

“Is there a problem?” Connor quickly asked.

“Mr. McDonald, I’m on a business trip in Beverly Hills now and will only be back tomorrow at the earliest. Why don’t 1 go and talk to your fiancee tomorrow?” Thomas asked helplessly.

“You are in Beverly Hills now?” Connor was instantly speechless.

“Yes, 1 have something to deal with in Beverly Hills. If you’re in a hurry, 1 can rush back now, but I’ll probably only arrive at night. If you can’t wait, I can get the finance people to transfer the money to you first!”

“You can’t transfer the money over yet. If you invest so much money before you arrive, Freya will be suspicious of our relationship. When Freya discovers my true identity, I won’t be able to inherit the money!” Connor said with a broken heart.

“Mr. McDonald, you’re getting more and more thoughtful. How about this? I’ll take a plane back now. I’ll probably reach Porthampton at midnight!” Thomas did not forget to flatter him.

Connor couldn’t help but turn to look at the conference room.

Everyone was waiting for Connor to go back. If Connor went back and said that Thomas would only come tomorrow, these people would definitely not let it go.

However, if Thomas did not even come to Freya’s company and directly transferred the money, especially with 300 million dollars, that would be too suspicious. Even a fool would be able to tell that there was something wrong.

“Can’t you come back in the afternoon?” Connor asked in a low voice.

“Mr. McDonald, I’m in Beverly Hills now. Even if I catch the plane now, 1’11 only arrive at midnight at the earliest!” Thomas explained.

“Alright then. Come back tomorrow morning. I’ll go explain to my fiancee first,” Connor said helplessly.

“Alright…” Thomas replied and then hung up the phone.

“Urgh, Thomas! Why did he drop the ball at the critical moment!” Connor cursed when he saw that the call ended.

It would be fine if this happened normally, but everyone was waiting to see Connor make a fool of himself. If Connor went back and said that the investors would only come tomorrow, these people would not believe it.

“Phew…”

Connor took a deep breath and picked up his phone to call Kyle Hayes. He wanted Kyle to come over and pretend to invest, and then he would return the money to Kyle.

However, on second thought, Kyle was a well-known gangster in Porthampton. Basically, everyone knew Kyle.

Besides, why would a gangster like Kyle invest in a cosmetics company for no reason? This didn’t make sense at all!

In the end, Connor didn’t call Kyle. He turned around and walked toward the conference room..
