Chapter 328 - 328: Freya Was Beaten Up

The beauty got into the Land Rover and slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The middle-aged man who had tried to hit on the beauty was lying on the ground, being punched and kicked by five strong men in black. From time to time, he would let out painful howls.

Countless passersby saw this scene, but no one dared to stand up and say anything, because they all knew that these men in front of them were Howard Duncan’s men!

In Porthampton, Kyle Hayes was not to be trifled with, and Howard was even more so.

At the same time, Connor did not know that danger was gradually approaching him. He was still strolling around the mall with Freya, Maya, and the others.

After John’s birthday banquet ended, Connor and Freya stayed at the Phillips Estate for about a week.

Perhaps it was because of what happened on John’s birthday banquet, but everyone’s attitude towards Connor had changed drastically. No one dared to mock and humiliate him anymore.

Therefore, in this week, Connor’s life had been very comfortable. He didn’t need to look at anyone’s face at all.

Usually, when he had nothing to do during the day, he would follow Freya, Maya and Priscilla to do some shopping, or visit the scenic spots around the Phillips Estate.

At night, Connor slept on the same bed as Freya. Although they slept on the same bed, Connor did not do anything to her. It wouldn’t be nice if he forced anything on her, so he was patiently awaiting her reply.

A week passed quickly, and Connor’s vacation was coming to an end. Freya, Sean, and the others also began planning to return to Porthampton.

Although so many things had happened in the Phillips Estate, Connor had still not revealed his identity. Moreover, his relationship with Freya was gradually warming up, so Connor was very satisfied with his trip to the Phillips Estate.

And not only that, Freya had promised Connor that she would give him an answer before she left the Phillips Estate, regardless of whether she was willing to be his fiancee or not.

Thus, Connor had been waiting for Freya’s answer.

However, something happened that directly disrupted his current plans.

On the eve of leaving the Phillips Estate, Freya, Maya and Priscilla went to attend their primary school classmate’s birthday party.

Connor didn’t know their elementary school classmate, and he was also considered a celebrity in the Phillips Estate. Basically, all kinds of big shots would come to the Phillips Estate every day to curry favor with him.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Connor did not attend the birthday party with Freya. Instead, he stayed at home and watched TV alone.

However, less than an hour after Freya and the others left, Connor’s phone rang.

Connor looked down at his phone and saw that it was Maya calling. He picked up the call and asked softly, “Maya, what’s wrong?”

After a week of contact, the relationship between Connor and Maya had also eased a lot. Although Maya still did not want to admit that Connor was her brother-in-law, they had no problems getting along.

“Connor, come over quickly. My cousin is being bullied!” Maya shouted.

“Freya was bullied?” When Connor heard this, he frowned and asked excitedly, “Who’s bullying her? Where are you now?”

“We’re at Lume now. Come over quickly. I can’t talk to you anymore—Freya…!”

Maya shouted and hung up.

“Maya, Maya!”

When Connor heard Maya’s last word, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly shouted twice. However, Maya had already hung up the phone.

Connor called her again, but no one picked up even after a long time.

“Something must have happened to Freya!”

Connor took a deep breath and hung up the phone. Then, he picked up the car keys on the table and ran out of the courtyard house. Connor knew that Lume was the restaurant that Shane had treated them to a meal. It was not far from the Phillips Estate.

Twenty minutes later, Connor arrived at Lume.

After getting out of the car, Connor rushed inside without thinking. He asked the waiter and quickly found the private room where Freya and the others were.

The girl who was celebrating her birthday today was called Amy Day. She was Freya and Priscilla’s primary school classmate. The Day family’s status in Davenport was similar to the Phillips family’s; they were both families with lots of generational wealth.

Even so, Amy was still very popular. Moreover, they were all primary school classmates, so most of the wealthy heirs of the Phillips family had come to attend her birthday party.

At this moment, the private room was filled with young people. After Connor swept his gaze across the crowd, he quickly found where Freya and the others were.

“Freya, Maya, are you alright?”

Connor rushed to them, shouting excitedly.

“Connor, why are you only here now? My cousin was beaten up, do you know that?” Maya shouted with her big, watery eyes.

“Freya was beaten up?”

Connor couldn’t help but turn to look at Freya, who was standing beside Maya.

Freya was currently covering her pretty face with her hand, but Connor could still see the palm print on Freya’s face. It was exceptionally glaring.

Freya wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked Connor with a puzzled expression, “Connor, you…Why are you here?”

“Freya, who hit you?” Connor asked as he gritted his teeth. Connor could accept being insulted by others. Even if he was attacked verbally, he could pretend that he did not hear anything However, he absolutely could not accept someone bullying his woman!

If a man couldn’t even protect his woman, then what could he do even if he had more money?

Freya was Connor’s bottom line, and someone had already crossed it.

“Connor, this matter has nothing to do with you.”

Freya knew that Connor was not a real rich second generation. His connections were only because of Thomas Morgan, so she did not want to see Connor blow up the matter. She was worried that this matter would affect him.

“I’m asking you, who hit you?”

Connor looked at Freya and repeated himself through gritted teeth.

Freya stared at Connor with her big, watery eyes. Her expression was extremely nervous because she had never seen Connor so angry before.

Even when John chased him out of the restaurant in front of so many people, he wasn’t nearly this angry!
