In the conference room.

When Yannick saw the overwhelming number of votes, he found it difficult to accept for a moment.

After all, he had been willing to give up Stephanie in order to compete for this inheritance and expose Connor’s identity to Freya.

During John’s birthday banquet, the reason why so many company executives went to congratulate him was also due to the information released by Yannick.

In Yannick’s eyes, Connor was just a poor loser who didn’t deserve his attention.

Moreover, as Steven’s grandson and the first priority heir according to the law, he believed it was only natural for him to reclaim Steven’s inheritance.

However, no matter how much Yannick planned, he never anticipated that Thomas and Jonas would ruin all his plans in the end, leaving him deeply unwilling.

“I’m asking you a question! Are you all pretending to be deaf and mute? Weren’t you supposed to help me? Why are you now siding with Connor?” Yannick directly grabbed the collar of one of the lawyers and yelled with a fierce expression.

“Mr. Yannick, the voting results have been announced. Please do not disturb the work of our legal team!” Jonas stood up and shouted at him.

Hearing his words, Yannick couldn’t help but pause for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, you’re all impressive! You’ve all joined forces to bully me, right? Well, just you wait, all of you, just you wait! One day, 1 will make you regret it! This Connor is nothing but a waste. 1 can’t understand why you would help him!”

“Smack!”

Connor stood up and slapped him across the face.

Yannick was stunned for a moment after being slapped by Connor, then stared at him with bloodshot eyes and shouted, “How dare you hit me?”

“What’s wrong with me hitting you? If you dare to insult me as a loser again, 1 will make sure you never see Stephanie again in your life!” Connor said expressionlessly.

“You…” It was only after hearing this statement that Yannick suddenly remembered that Stephanie was still in his hands. If he could successfully inherit the estate today, losing Stephanie would be acceptable. But if he didn’t inherit the estate and also lost her, it would be a double loss for him!

“If you still want to see Stephanie, it’s best for you to get out of this meeting room now!” Connor said to in a deep voice.

He hesitated for a moment in his place, then gritted his teeth and said fiercely, “Fine, I’ll leave now. Just you all wait for me!”

After saying this, he turned and walked towards the exit of the meeting room.

After seeing Yannick leave the meeting room, Jonas stood up slowly and looked at Connor and the others, saying, “Now 1 will announce the arbitration result of this meeting. After unanimous voting by the twelve lawyers in our legal team, Mr. Connor still qualifies to inherit Mr. Steven’s estate, so Mr. Connor remains the sole heir of Mr. Steven!”

Thomas immediately felt relieved, and the heavy burden on his heart seemed to have been lifted.

“Mr. Connor, although you have regained the eligibility to inherit the estate and the right to control it, you haven’t actually inherited Mr. Stevan’s estate yet. You need to confirm your relationship with Miss Freya as soon as possible in order to smoothly inherit the estate,” Jonas said softly to Connor.

Upon hearing his words, Connor couldn’t help but turn his head and glanced at Freya beside him.

“Mr. Thomas, does it mean that there’s nothing left for me to do now?” Freya didn’t even look at Connor and stood up directly, facing Thomas.

Thomas couldn’t help but pause for a moment after hearing her words, then said, “Miss Freya, the arbitration meeting is already over, but I think there might be some misunderstanding between you and Mr. Connor. If you both can…”

“I have no misunderstanding with this person. Since the arbitration meeting is over, I’ll leave first!” Freya replied to Thomas in a cold tone, then stood up and said to Priscilla, “Priscilla, let’s go!”

After hearing these words, Priscilla couldn’t help but look at Connor, sighed helplessly, and then stood up to follow Freya as they walked towards the exit of the meeting room.

He sat in place, watching Freya’s figure, his eyes filled with helplessness. He could sense that she hadn’t completely forgiven him yet, considering he had deceived her for such a long time. It was normal for her not to forgive him.

“Mr. Connor, why are you still standing here? Flurry up and go out to explain to AAiss Freya!” Thomas anxiously shouted at him.

Upon hearing his words, Connor finally reacted and quickly stood up to chase after Freya.

However, at this moment, both girls had already entered the elevator, and the elevator was heading to the first floor.

“Mr. Connor, there’s another elevator over there!” Thomas quickly reminded.

Upon hearing this, Connor quickly pressed the elevator next to him, and as soon as the elevator door opened, he rushed into it.

A moment later, Connor, Freya and Priscilla had already left in the elevator.

Inside the meeting room, only Thomas, Jonas and a few other lawyers remained.

“You can all leave first. 1 have something to discuss with Mr. Thomas,” Jonas whispered to the other lawyers.

“Alright!”

Everyone nodded quickly, then tidied up their belongings and left the meeting room.

After seeing the lawyers leave, Jonas turned to Thomas and smiled knowingly, “Chairman Steven never said that to you, did he?”

“What did he say?” Thomas asked with a smile.

“Don’t pretend to be clueless here. Chairman Steven never said those w^ords to you, and he would never allow you to participate in the voting of our legal team. Otherwise, what’s the point of our legal team?” Jonas said in a low’ voice.

“Since you know Chairman Steven didn’t say those words, why did you still help me?” Thomas curiously asked.

Jonas glanced at him, not answering his question directly, and said softly, “I can’t understand why you chose to help Connor. What is your purpose?”

“Is it necessary for me to have a purpose in everything I do in your eyes?” Thomas said with a smile.

“Thomas, others may not understand you, but that doesn’t mean 1 don’t. Tell me the truth, why did you choose to help Connor today?” Jonas previous gentle demeanor was completely gone, and he asked Thomas with a serious expression..
