Chapter 160 - 160: Have You Found An Investor?
When everyone saw the person who walked in, they were all stunned.
“Connor?”
When Cody saw Connor, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
He never thought that Connor would dare to show up today.
Freya was also looking at Connor in surprise. She had already given up hope just now. She felt that Connor would not show up today, so she was prepared to agree to be with Cody.
But, Connor was here!
“If you want to break the engagement between us, don’t you have to get my consent first?” Connor walked up to Freya and asked calmly.
“Connor…”
Freya looked at Connor with mixed feelings, not knowing how to answer this question.
“Connor, how brave of you to still show up. Didn’t you promise Freya yesterday that you would bring an investor over? Where is the investor now?”
Before Freya could say anything, Maya pointed at Connor’s nose and accused.
“Was I talking to you?” Connor turned to look at Maya and asked expressionlessly.
“Stop talking nonsense with me. Yesterday, you told Freya that if you don’t find an investor today, you must break your engagement with her. Is your he here?” Maya’s eyes widened when she saw Connor and shouted at the top of her lungs. “Connor, I advise you to back down. After all, if Freya can be with me, at least she doesn’t have to worry about money. Moreover, I can help her pay for the compensation today. In this case, you don’t have to bear this money.
Otherwise, according to your current economic status, I reckon you won’t be able to pay it even if you work for a lifetime!” Cody reacted and said to Connor with a smile.
“My fiancee’s matter is not for an outsider like you to worry about!” Connor turned to look at Cody and said coldly.
“You…”
After Cody heard that, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he gritted his teeth and growled, “Connor, don’t be so shameless! The best choice now is for you to break your engagement with Freya. Otherwise, according to the contract you signed yesterday, if Freya can’t afford to pay the compensation, you have to help her pay it!”
“Who told you that she can’t pay that?” Connor calmly asked Cody.

Hearing that, Cody was speechless for a moment.
Freya quickly approached Connor and asked with a puzzled expression, “Connor, what do you mean by that? Have you already found an investor?”
Freya’s heart was once again filled with hope. She felt that if Connor had not found an investor, he did not have to show up today and humiliate himself.
H 11
Connor turned to look at Freya.
“Connor, why are you looking at me? Say something. Have you found an investor?” Freya asked nervously when Connor did not say anything.
“Did you really say that you wanted to break our engagement?” Connor asked Freya softly.
H 11
Freya was instantly speechless. What kind of situation was this? He still had the mood to care about these things!
“Connor, did you find an investor or not? Can you say something and stop being mysterious?” Maya shouted impatiently.
“Yeah, did you find an investor or not? If you don’t, hurry up and return the money to us. We’re not in the mood to waste our time with you!”
“Hurry up, don’t keep us in suspense! I’m not in the mood to banter with you…”
The shareholders in the meeting room were already a little impatient from waiting. They shouted at Connor agitatedly.
Cody looked at Connor and could not help but sneer. He saw that Connor was hesitant, which meant that Connor did not find an investor. Otherwise, he would not have said so much nonsense.
“Connor, say something quickly! Did you find an investor or not?” Freya urged Connor anxiously.
“Answer my question first. Do you really want to break the engagement with me?” Connor asked Freya expressionlessly.
“Is there any point in discussing this now? The reason I agreed to marry you back then was because my father’s company had problems. But now, my company has problems too. If 1 break the engagement with you and get together with Cody, 1 can solve all the problems in our family. What’s true about this? I just want to maximize the value of my marriage!” Freya shouted at Connor.

After hearing Freya’s words, Connor fell into deep thought. Then, he said expressionlessly, “Alright, I get it now!”
“Have you found an investor yet? If you can’t find it, 1 can only break our engagement!”
Although Freya said that, she hoped Connor had found an investor.
After all, Freya felt that she was still free when she was with Connor. If she was with Cody, she would only become Cody’s plaything.
“Phew…”
Connor took a deep breath, turned his head, and spoke toward the conference room door, “Mr. Hoffman, come in!”
The reason Connor asked Freya that question was mainly because he wanted to see what Freya was thinking. If Freya wanted to be with Cody, even if Connor helped Freya find an investor this time, Freya would still choose to leave him if anything happened in the future.
Connor knew that he had to marry Freya no matter what. However, if Freya’s heart was not with him, Connor did not have to waste too much energy on Freya. They would just be husband and wife in name only.
However, if Freya had no choice but to break her engagement with Connor, Connor felt he might still have a chance to become a real couple with Freya.
When Connor finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a black suit entered the meeting room.
Mr. Hoffman was Thomas’s assistant and the manager of a financial company under Connor’s name.
Connor was late today mainly because he was waiting for Thomas.
However, Thomas’s flight was delayed. In the end, Connor had no choice but to bring Thomas’ assistant to talk to Freya about the investment..
