Chapter 157 - 157:I Will Bear It Alone
“Why are you doing this?” Connor asked Freya.
“Because you lied to me today. I won’t marry a liar!”
“What if 1 am not lying to you?” Connor asked directly.
Freya looked at Connor and was stunned.
“The investor will be here tomorrow. Can you give me a day? If the investor doesn’t come tomorrow, you don’t have to break the engagement, I would break the engagement myself,” Connor told Freya seriously.
Freya did not speak.
Seeing that Freya was silent, he snatched the contract from Maya’s hands and threw it on the table in the meeting room. He spoke to the people in the conference room, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to withdraw your shares just now? Sign this contract now, and get lost!”
“Kid, who do you think you are? Would we just sign the contract because you asked us to? What if we signed rhe contract and you didn’t compensate us? Who will we ask for this money from?” one of the shareholders asked Connor disdainfully.
“Come here tomorrow morning to collect your compensation. If Freya doesn’t have money to give you, L will!” Connor responded.
“You will give it to us? Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter! You’re just a bartender. What are you going to give us? Do you know how much this money is?” The middle-aged man shouted at the top of his lungs.
“No matter how much the compensation is, 1 have said 1 will give it to you, so 1 will give it to you. Stop talking nonsense here. Either sign rhe contract or get lost!” Connor could no longer suppress rhe emotions in his heart and shouted angrily.
Everyone seemed to be frightened by the aura that Connor erupted with, and they all turned to look at Cody.
After hesitating, Cody narrowed his eyes and said to Connor, “What if you stand us up tomorrow?”
“Don’t worry. i’ll be here!” Connor said slowly.
“Alright, since you’ve said so, I’ll give you a chance. We’ll come over tomorrow morning to get the money. If you can’t pay us by then, be prepared to be sued!”
Cody looked at Connor and sneered. How could he let go of such a good opportunity? Even if Connor ran away tomorrow, Cody was not worried. If Connor ran away, Freya would only be more disappointed in Connor.
“Mr. Shenaur Jn, are we still going to sign this contract?” The shareholders asked Cody in confusion.
“Of course, sign it! Not only do you have to sign this contract, but you also have to state clearly that if Freya cannot pay the compensation, then Connor will bear this money. This contract also needs Connor’s signature and fingerprint. Only then will it have a legal effect!” Cody replied with a sneer.
After everyone heard Cody’s words, they picked up the contract and signed them.
The reason Cody agreed to Connor’s request was very simple. He knew Connor did not have much money to compensate the shareholders.
Once both parties signed the contract, it meant that as long as no one came to invest in Freya’s company tomorrow, Freya and Connor would have to pay a high compensation.
Cody knew Freya’s current situation very well. She did nor have any money.
And Connor naturally couldn’t take out so much money.
As long as these shareholders sued Connor, Connor would be doomed.
After Connor was jailed, Cody could take advantage of the situation and take down Freya in one fell swoop.
Soon, everyone signed their names on the contract and added the condition that Cody had mentioned previously.
“Connor, we’ve already signed the contract. Your turn!”
The middle-aged man threw the contract in front of Connor and sneered.
Connor hesitated before reaching out to pick up the contract.
“Connor…”
When Freya saw that Connor would sign his name on the contract, she could not help but reach out to stop him.
Connor turned and glanced at Freya. He said nothing and picked up a pen to write his name.
“Connor, do you know what you’re doing now?”
Freya knew very well what Cody wanted to do, so she shouted at Connor agitatedly.
“Of course, I know what this means, but someone will come to invest in your company tomorrow morning. If no one comes. I’ll break the engagement with you, and I’ll find a way to compensate them myself!” Connor replied calmly and signed his name on the contract.
Freya took a deep breath and looked at Connor before her, her face filled with shock.
She couldn’t understand why Connor would do this. How was he so confident to put his name on the contract?
“Is Connor really not lying to me? Did he really find an investor?”
At this moment, a very strange thought appeared in Freya’s mind.
Connor had already pur his name on the contract and put his fingerprint, too.
“I’ve signed the contract!” Connor pushed the contract back to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man quickly picked up the contract and carefully checked it before turning to Cody and saying, “Mr. Shenaur Jr., there’s no problem with the contract!”
“Alright, see you tomorrow!”
After Cody heard the middle-aged man’s words, he smiled proudly and turned to leave the meeting room.
After everyone saw Cody leave, they quickly got up and left with him.
At this moment, only Connor, Freya, and Maya were left in the meeting room.
Freya quickly approached Connor and snatched the contract. Then, she shouted at Connor with a puzzled expression, “Connor, do you know what it means to sign rhe contract?”
“Of course, I know what it means. I’ll bring the investor over tomorrow morning. Don’t worry!” Connor replied calmly.
“Connor, why won’t you drop the act already? Even if you bring the investor here tomorrow, would he really invest in my company?” Freya’s eyes widened as she screamed emotionally.
“That’s right. Why must you implicate my cousin if you have a death wish?” Maya pouted and said to Connor.
“If I can’t find someone to invest in your company tomorrow, I ll break the engagement with you. Moreover, I’ll bear rhe compensation alone.” Connor looked at Freya and said in an unusually calm tone.
“Connor, you…” Freya opened her mouth to speak, but Connor did not give her a chance to speak at all. He turned around and left the meeting room..
