Upon hearing Connor’s confession, Freya was stunned.

It would be a lie to claim that she has no feelings for him.

As she spent more time with him, she realized that besides being poor, Connor didn’t seem to have any other flaws.

However, being poor was not a problem in her eyes. She believed that as long as he was willing to work hard, he could at least become much stronger than an ordinary person, if not becoming extremely wealthy.

After all, Connor had connections that ordinary people couldn’t compare to. He could easily secure a job that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to dream of by just asking Thomas.

Although she had developed a slight liking for him, she was still taken aback by his sudden confession and didn’t know how to respond.

“Freya 1 genuinely like you. 1 know you might think I’m not capable enough, but I will definitely work hard. Can you give me a chance?” He continued speaking to her.

“I… I…” She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Connor, 1 actually don’t know how to answer you right now. 1 know you genuinely like me, but can you give me some time to consider it?”

“Okay!” Since she didn’t reject him, it meant there was still hope. He didn’t rush to seek an explanation but decided to give Freya some time to think.

“Thank you, Connor. It’s getting late, so I’ll go back now,” she replied softly with a blushing face.

“If you have made up your mind, please let me know as soon as possible!” he called out as she was about to leave.

“Don’t worry, I will let you know!” She nodded gently, then turned and left his room.

After Freya left, he lay alone on the bed, smiling foolishly because he believed that she wouldn’t reject him.

From her reaction earlier, Connor could tell that he had a chance.

Once he won over Freya, he could rightfully inherit the trillion-dollar inheritance. By then, he wouldn’t need to hide his identity anymore.

“Buzz!”

At that moment, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Connor picked up his phone and found a Facebook message from Yelena.

He always found her intentions quite strange because he didn’t know what she wanted.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to open his phone and check the message.

Upon opening Facebook, he saw that she had sent him a selfie wearing a low-cut dress, accompanied by some text.

“It’s my first day shooting. How do 1 look? Isn’t my dress beautiful?”

Connor smiled as he looked at the photo. He had to admit that Yelena had a certain charm. Her figure and appearance were quite good, and once she put on a costume attire, she easily outshone those so-called celebrity actresses.

However, he didn’t reply to her because he believed it would be better to keep his distance from this kind of girl. Besides, he had more important matters to attend to at the moment.

He wanted to investigate who leaked the information today!

If he hadn’t reacted quickly, Freya might have already discovered his true identity. If she had found out, all of his efforts would have been in vain.

Not only would he lose the right to inherit the estate but also be regarded as a fraud by Freya!

At first, when Joshua and Christopher came, he thought it was just a coincidence. After all, he had met these two people at Immortal Lake Manor before, so it was normal for them to recognize him.

But later, so many company executives arrived, and many of them were unfamiliar to Connor. He felt that this couldn’t be a coincidence and that someone had exposed his identity.

However, the number of people who knew his identity was not large to begin with. There were Titus and Thomas while the rest didn’t even know that he was at Phillips Manor!

The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. He directly took out his phone and dialed Titus’ number.

He now believed that the possibility of Titus revealing his whereabouts was higher than Thomas doing so.

“Ring…”

The phone rang twice, and Titus answered the call, speaking in an unusually respectful tone, “Mr. Connor, is there something you need?”

“Titus, did you tell others about me being at Phillips Manor?” Connor asked in an extremely cold tone.

“Mr. Connor, how could I dare to expose your whereabouts? Didn’t you ask me to keep a low profile and not reveal your identity? How could I possibly tell others?” Titus quickly replied.

“Are you sure you haven’t told anyone else?” Connor paused and asked.

“Mr. Connor, please rest assured. How could 1 mention your matters to others?” Titus quickly said.

Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed across Connor’s face because he felt that someone like Titus wouldn’t have the courage to do such a thing.

So after hesitating for a moment, he continued, “Alright, I’ll investigate further.”

“Okay, Mr. Connor, if you have anything, just call me directly!”

“Okay!”

Connor nodded and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, he called Thomas, Christopher and Joshua, wanting to find out who leaked the information, but in the end, he couldn’t get any answers.

This made him even more puzzled. If it wasn’t them who leaked the information, then who could it be?

While he was contemplating this, there was a knock on the door.

“Connor, are you asleep?” Freya asked softly.

“No… not yet…” he replied and hurriedly hid his phone.

“Can 1 come in now?” she continued to ask.

“Of course!” he answered and walked to the door, reaching out to open it.

But when he opened the door, he froze in shock, his expression incredibly surprised.

Because at this moment, Freya was standing at his room’s doorstep, holding a pillow and blanket, wearing a black lace nightgown.

“Freya, what is this?” he asked her with a puzzled tone.

“Can 1 sleep with you tonight?” she asked..
