After being slapped by Freya, Connor was completely stunned. He looked at Freya dully.

“Connor, if you hadn’t told me these, how would I have known you are a super-rich heir? 1 always thought you were a poor student, so 1, Freya Philips, never cared if you had money!” Freya shouted at Connor.

“Even if you don’t care, I can’t not care!” Connor gritted his teeth and replied.

Freya was stunned when she heard Connor’s words. Then, she whispered, “Perhaps money is significant to you, but it’s just an insignificant thing to me. 1 might have forgiven you if you had told me these things earlier. But you lied to me for so long.”

“I’m sorry…”

At this moment, Connor didn’t know what to say to Freya. He could only lower his head and apologize.

“Do you think it’s still useful to apologize to me now? Do you think I’ll forgive you?” Freya shouted at Connor.

“I’ve never thought of asking you to forgive me. Stephanie and the others came here today to expose my identity. As long as I expose my identity, I’ll lose everything. Be it the inheritance or you. These things have nothing to do with me!” Connor gritted his teeth and replied.

“Connor, why did you do this? Even if you don’t have money, I still like you. But 1 can’t accept that you chose to lie to me for the inheritance!” Freya replied angrily before standing up and continuing, “Connor, what I hate the most is people lying to me, but you’ve lied to me for so long. I’ll never forgive you!”

When Connor heard this, he looked up at Freya and opened his mouth to speak.

However, Freya did not give Connor a chance to speak. She turned around and walked out of the private room.

Connor sat and looked at Freya leaving. He hesitated and did not chase after her.

This was because he felt that Freya would not forgive him even if he chased after her. Moreover, Connor no longer had the right to keep Freya. He did not want Freya to stay and live a hard life with him.

After all, as long as the former chairman’s legal team knew Connor’s identity had been exposed, Connor would lose everything he had now.

After Freya left the private room, she realized that Connor did not chase after her. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She then walked toward the parking lot and drove off into the streets.

Half an hour later, Freya returned to the Phillips Family’s house.

When everyone saw that Freya had returned, they surrounded her.

“Freya, why are you back alone? Where’s Connor?”

“Yeah, Freya, where did Connor go?”

“Freya, why do you look upset?”

After what had happened today, the attitude of everyone in the Phillips Family toward Connor changed drastically. Although they had previously thought Connor was a rich heir, they did not expect Connor’s background to be so powerful. Even the dignified Tiger Commander of Oprana came over for him.

Therefore, their attitude toward Connor was very different from before. They were all waiting for Connor to come back so that they could curry favor with him.

“Connor didn’t come back with me. You don’t have to think about fawning over him because I’ve already cut ties with him!” Freya was not in the mood to care about these people. After saying that, she ran straight into her room.

After entering the room, Freya immediately lay on the bed and cried.

She felt that she had been too stupid during this period. She had already completely opened her heart to Connor but did not expect Connor to lie to her repeatedly. She could not accept such a fact!

‘Knock, knock, knock!’

At this moment, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

“Who’s there?” Freya asked softly as she wiped the tears off her face.

“Freya, it’s me. Can you let me in?” Priscilla replied from outside the room.

Freya hesitated when she heard that it was Priscilla. Then, she got up and opened the door.

“Freya, what’s wrong? Are you alright?” Priscilla asked in confusion when she saw Freya’s eyes were red.

“I… I’m fine…” Freya gritted her teeth and replied softly.

“Alright, don’t have to put a strong front with me. What did Connor do to you today? Why are you crying like this?” Priscilla sat on the bed and asked Freya softly.

Freya also wanted to find someone to talk to about this, so after hesitating, Freya told Priscilla everything Connor had told her.

Meanwhile…

After seeing Freya leave, Caleb, the manager of Lume, hurried to the private room’s door.

However, he waited at the door of the private room for a long time and did not see Connor come out.

Therefore, after hesitating, he carefully walked into the private room and found Connor still sitting alone in a daze.

“Mr. McDonald, Ms. Phillips has already left…” Caleb respectfully said to Connor.

Caleb was an ordinary restaurant manager. He didn’t know what was happening with Connor, so he was still very respectful when talking to him.

“I know!” Connor replied in a low voice.

“Mr. McDonald, our restaurant is about to close. Do you want to stay here for a while or return to the hotel? If you want to return to the hotel, 1 can send you back now…” Seeing that Connor didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving, so he quickly continued.

Hearing Caleb’s words, Connor’s face lit up. Then, he said in a low voice, “Did you drive here?”

“Yes, yes. Where do you plan to go, Mr. McDonald?” Caleb quickly asked.

“Send me back to Porthampton!” Connor sighed softly. He felt that there was no point in staying here. He might as well hurry back.

“Alright, I’ll drive you there now…” Caleb hurriedly nodded, then turned around and walked toward the hotel parking lot.

Ten minutes later, Connor got into a black Audi Accord and disappeared from the streets of Phillips Estate.

Looking at the familiar scenery, Connor’s heart was filled with mixed feelings. He initially thought that his visit to Phillips Estate would be able to bring his relationship with Freya back on track. However, he never expected such an outcome.

Although Connor still had Stephanie, that woman was just a bargaining chip for Connor. There was no way to change anything.

Connor began to become confused. He did not know how he should continue on his next path.

From the wealthiest man in the world, he had once again become a poor kid with nothing.

How many people could understand this feeling?
