“Yeah, I didn’t expect that the person who stood up to speak for us in the end wasn’t our son-in-law but your son-in-law, Sandra. What a joke!” Laura said helplessly.

“We’re all family. What’s the point of saying all this!”

Sandra smiled and waved her hand. Then, she picked up the phone and said softly, “Qahira, have you settled things with Shane?”

“Mom, something big has happened. The vase that Uncle smashed seems to be some kind of millenia-old porcelain. Mr. Jenkins said it’s worth 40 million dollars and is now asking us to compensate him! He said that if we can’t pay up, he won’t let us go!” Qahira said with a sob.

“What… What did you say?”

When Sandra heard this, she was dumbfounded as she stuttered.

“I… I’m not too sure either. Mom, hurry up and get Uncle to come over!”

Qahira was so riled up that her words were incoherent.

“What about Shane? Doesn’t Shane know Mr. Jenkins?”

Sandra said after a moment of hesitation.

“He doesn’t!”

When Qahira heard this, she became even angrier. She cursed indignantly and continued, “Mr. Jenkins sending over red wine has nothing to do with Shane. I don’t have time to talk to you about this now. You’d better come over quickly, or Mr. Jenkins will take me away!”

“Okay, okay. Qahira, don’t worry. 1’11 be right there!”

Sandra didn’t dare to waste any time. After comforting her, she immediately hung up the phone.

“Sandra, what happened?”

Sean hesitated for a moment before asking Sandra.

“Sean, you’re in big trouble this time. That vase seems to be an antique. Qahira has been detained by the people from the restaurant, so we’d better hurry over and save her!”

Sandra picked up her bag and walked out of the room.

Sean and Laura didn’t know what was going on. However, seeing Sandra’s anxious look, they didn’t say anything else and just followed Sandra out of the room.

A few minutes later, Sean, Sandra, and Laura left the hotel and drove toward Lume.

As the situation happened too suddenly, Sean did not ask Freya and Connor to go with them.

In Sean’s eyes, Connor was just a poor student who delivered food. Even if he asked him to go, he wouldn’t be able to solve any problems.

In Connor’s room.

Freya and Connor were talking excitedly. After all, the two of them had not seen each other for a while. As soon as they met, they were dragged to a restaurant by Qahira and the others. At this moment, they had some private space.

Connor hadn’t done much recently, so he spent most of his time listening to Freya talk about the things in her company.

Freya also wanted Connor to understand these things so that he could join her company to help her in the future.

After chatting for a while, Freya saw that it was getting late and got up to leave.

“Connor, you mustn’t take to heart what aunt and the others said today. My aunt’s family’s conditions have never been comparable to ours, and Qahira has never been comparable to me since she was young, so they have always liked to compare themselves with our family. They’re not deliberately targeting you but targeting me!” Freya looked at Connor with a serious expression.

“It’s okay. As long as you don’t think I’m embarrassing!”

Connor looked at Freya and smiled faintly.

“How could I find you embarrassing?”

Freya couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Connor before continuing, “The fact that I asked you to come means that I’ve already accepted you for who you are. I also believe that as long as you’re willing to work hard, sooner or later, you’ll be able to achieve something great. When that time comes, no one will dare to say that you’re not worthy of me, and no one will doubt my judgment!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll work hard!”

Connor looked at Freya and replied in a low voice.

No one had ever said such words to Connor before.

Everyone laughed at Connor and humiliated him. No one believed that Connor would be able to stand out in the future.

However, Freya was the first person to say such words to him without knowing Connor’s true identity. Therefore, Connor was even more convinced that he had not misjudged her. Freya was the woman he had been looking for all this time.

In today’s materialistic society, it was rare for a woman to be willing to share weal and woe with you and support you unconditionally without complaining about your financial status or background!

“Okay, I’m going back now!”

Freya waved at Connor before turning around and leaving his room.

After Freya left, Connor lay on the bed alone and recalled what Freya had told him. He was filled with mixed feelings.

Meanwhile, Freya returned to Laura and Sean’s room alone. However, after knocking on the door a few times, there was no response.

“Are they already sleeping?”

Freya muttered softly, then took out her phone and dialed Laura’s number.

The phone rang for a while before Laura picked up.

“Mom, are you and Dad already sleeping? I’ve been knocking on the door.”

Freya asked.

“Freya, I forgot to tell you. Your father is in big trouble this time…”

“Big trouble? What trouble did you get into?”

Freya asked in confusion.

“The vase that your father smashed at the restaurant today seems to be quite expensive. Qahira and Shane have been detained by the people at the restaurant. Your father, your aunt, and 1 are rushing to the restaurant now.” Laura replied anxiously and hung up the phone.

Freya hesitated for a couple of seconds before turning around and returning to Connor’s room. She called out softly, “Connor, 1 have something to do and need to go out for a while. If you need anything, you can tell the hotel staff!”

“Why are you heading out so late at night?”

Connor asked subconsciously.

“My mom just told me that the vase that my dad smashed today seems to be quite expensive. I’m going to go see what’s going on.”

Freya hurriedly replied.

When Connor heard what Freya said, a strange expression flashed across his face.

In fact, he had already guessed that the vase at Lume was not cheap, but since Shane wanted to stay and show off, Connor naturally would not say anything. He wanted Shane to pay the price for it.

However, Shane had not solved the problem yet, which meant that the value of the vase was definitely beyond Shane’s capabilities. Therefore, Connor was a little hesitant about whether he should help.

If he stepped forward, this matter could be resolved immediately.

After all, the entire restaurant was Connor’s. Titus Jenkins wouldn’t dare to say no even if he destroyed the entire restaurant, let alone a vase.

However, if he really did that, Connor would very likely expose his identity.

However, if Connor didn’t show up, Freya and Sean probably wouldn’t be able to afford the vase if it was really expensive.

In that case, the Phillips Family’s company, which was already on the right track, would face the risk of having its funds cut off again..
