Chapter 320 - 320: Finding A Good Son-in-Law
Rubin was dumbfounded after being slapped by Brooklyn.
He stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
Because Rubin didn’t expect that the person who stood up to stop him was not someone else, but his grandfather!
Rubin was the most outstanding one among the three generations of the Phillips Family. No matter where he went, Brooklyn would treat him like a treasure.
No matter what Rubin did wrong, Brooklyn would stand on Rubin’s side unconditionally!
But this time, Brooklyn’s actions made everyone’s jaws drop!
“Brooklyn, what are you doing? Let the children settle their own matters. Why did you hit Rubin?”
John seemed to be a little surprised. He quickly ran to Brooklyn and reached out to stop him.
“John, today’s matter is indeed Rubin’s fault. It’s only right for Rubin to apologize to Connor!”
Brooklyn was not a fool. He knew that John was no longer the John from before. He had also seen clearly how Winston Lawson, Tristan Lawson, and the others treated Connor.
Even a big family like the Lawson Family did not dare to offend Connor. Even if Brooklyn had a hundred guts, he would not dare to become enemies with Connor over such a small matter!
Therefore, he felt that the best solution now was to have Rubin apologize to Connor. Then, with his relationship with John, Connor would most probably not continue to pursue this matter.
To put it bluntly, no one knew Connor’s true identity. However, through today’s events, they could feel that Connor’s identity was definitely not that simple. Offending Connor was definitely not a good thing!
“Rubin, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to Connor!”
Brooklyn shouted excitedly with widened eyes.
“Grandfather, why should I…”
Rubin was still a little unwilling. He opened his mouth and was about to speak.
However, Brooklyn turned around and slapped Rubin’s face again!
After this slap, Rubin was rendered speechless. He looked at Connor with a red face.
“I’m asking you to go over and apologize to Connor now. Do you hear me?”
Brooklyn shouted at Rubin with a gloomy expression.
“Yes!”
Rubin gritted his teeth and nodded. Then, he walked to Connor and lowered his head. “Connor, 1 was wrong today. I’m sorry!”
“You don’t have to apologize to me. If you really want to apologize, then apologize to my fiancee!”
Things had already turned out this way, but Connor did not want to make a big deal out of it.
Connor and Rubin didn’t have much conflict. He just couldn’t stand the way Rubin mocked Freya.
Since Rubin wanted to apologize, he might as well apologize to Freya.
After hesitating for a moment, Rubin slowly turned his head to look at Freya and said in a low voice, “Freya, I’m sorry!”
“It’s alright!”
Freya was also a very reasonable woman. She did not want to let this go on, so she replied nonchalantly.
Rubin took a deep breath, turned around, and walked toward Brooklyn.
“John, your birthday banquet is about to end. 1 still have something else to do, so I’ll be taking my leave now!”
Brooklyn was not in a good mood either. After saying goodbye to John, he turned around and left the restaurant, not giving John any chance to ask him to stay.
After Brooklyn left, Gabriel Phillips didn’t want to stay any longer. After exchanging a few words with John, he left in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, only John’s children, Freya, Connor, and the others were left in the restaurant.
John couldn’t help but turn and size up Connor. Then, he smiled and asked Connor, “Connor, what happened today? How do you know so many big shots?” “That’s right, Connor. How do I not know of this hidden power you have?” Maya’s mother was also very curious about Connor. After all, she had heard some things about Connor from Maya before, but in her words, Connor seemed to be just a poor kid. There was nothing special about him.
But looking at him today, he didn’t look like a poor kid at all. He was clearly a rich heir!
When Connor heard John’s words, he could not help but hesitate for a moment. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain.
But before he could speak, he heard Freya say, “Actually, Connor doesn’t know these people. These people are here to curry favor with Connor!”
“These people are here to curry favor with Connor?”
When John heard this, he became even more puzzled.
He could not understand what ability Connor had to make so many big shots come over to curry favor with him.
However, Freya did not give John and the others the chance to continue asking. She directly pulled Connor and said, “Connor, now that those people have left, we can leave now, right?”
“Yeah… We can!”
Connor was a little confused and replied in a puzzled tone.
“Then, let’s go. There are many fun places in the Phillips Estate. I’ll bring you around!”
Freya called out with a smile before dragging Connor out of the restaurant.
“Freya, I’ll go with you too!”
When Maya saw that Freya was about to leave, she hurriedly called out and ran out of the restaurant with a smile, leaving behind John and the others who were dumbfounded.
Freya was in such a hurry to take Connor away because she was worried that if these people continued to ask, Connor would tell the truth.
If these people didn’t know that these big shots weren’t here for Connor, but for Thomas Morgan, then everyone would think that Connor’s background was unfathomable. They would also be afraid of Connor, and no one would dare to bully Connor anymore.
However, once they knew the truth, Connor would still be the same Connor in their eyes. They would continue to look down on him.
“Sean, you’re also in Porthampton. Don’t you know Connor?”
John hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Sean.
“Dad, actually, I’ve also investigated Connor’s background, but 1 didn’t find anything. I only found out that he’s a student at the Porthampton University, so 1 don’t know Connor very well!” Sean hurriedly replied.
When John heard this, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Then, he said expressionlessly, “Looks like the heavens are giving our family a chance.. Freya has found you a good son-in-law!”
