Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day, at 8 o’clock in the morning.

Connor, who was still in the midst of his dreams, was suddenly awakened by the sound of his phone ringing.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he picked up the phone and answered the call.

“Mr. Connor, hello!”

The voice of Birdie came through.

Upon hearing her enticing voice, he instantly became more awake and quickly asked, “Miss Birdie, do you have any news over there?”

“That’s right!”

Birdie replied nonchalantly.

Connor’s expression seemed even more excited upon hearing Birdie’s response. He continued to ask, “So, is my fiancée kidnapped by Rockefeller’s people?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“No, your fiancée’s situation has nothing to do with Rockefeller!”

Birdie answered directly.

“Nothing at all?”

After hearing Birdie’s answer, Connor’s expression appeared somewhat strange.

At this moment, he didn’t know whether he should be happy or unhappy.

If Freya was not in the hands of Rockefeller, it was undoubtedly a good thing, but what troubled him was that he had no clue where she was. He didn’t even know whether she was alive or dead.

“What about the death of my parents?”

After hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask.

“Mr. Connor, your father Dawson was a close friend of my father Warren. Your father did call my father before he passed away, but your father’s death has nothing to do with my father. And also…”

Birdie seemed somewhat hesitant as she spoke.

“What else?”

Connor urgently inquired.

“Also, your father was the representative of Rockefeller in Dexas before he died!”

Birdie finally decided to tell Connor the truth.

Upon hearing her words, he was instantly dumbfounded. He sat on the bed, stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He never expected that his own father was also affiliated with Rockefeller. This news was like a bolt from the blue for Connor.

“By the way, Mr. Connor, my father mentioned that if you want to investigate the true cause of your parents’ death, you can ask your grandfather. He might know what happened back then!”

Birdie continued.

“My grandfather?”

After hearing her words, he couldn’t help but pause. The image of an old man appeared in his mind, and he smiled bitterly without saying a word.

“Mr. Connor, I’ve already investigated the first two matters for you. As for the subway project, can you consider giving it to us?”

Birdie, who was no longer concerned about what Connor was thinking, asked directly.

“Don’t worry, I will inform Thomas to cancel the bidding for the subway project. Your company should be able to get the project then!”

Connor replied absentmindedly.

“Thank you, Mr. Connor!”

Birdie let out a long sigh of relief and continued, “As for the third matter you mentioned, my father also believes that working with you is the best plan. So, as long as you can help me get rid of Chester, I can assist you in dealing with Rockefeller’s people!”

“No problem. When I need you, I will contact you!”

Connor, who was currently not in the mood to care about these matters, replied casually before hanging up the phone directly.

The phone call between Birdie and him contained too much information that he couldn’t digest in a short period of time.

Firs there was Freya’s matter. Thomas and the others had basically used all their connections, but they still could not find about her whereabouts. Connor suspected that it might be Rockefellar’s people who did it.

However, Birdie said that this matter wasn’t done by Rockefeller’s people, which means that Freya might have encountered an unfortunate incident.

Thinking about this, Connor’s mood became even worse.

As for how his parents died, he didn’t get a definite answer from Birdie.

But what surprised him was that his father turned out to be associated with Rockefeller, and his grandfather knew what happened back then.

However, he had never heard his grandfather mention this matter. The entire McDonald family believed that Connor’s parents died in an accident.

He had no positive feelings towards his grandfather at all because it was his own grandfather, Maverick McDonald, who drove Connor out of the McDonald family.

In fact, when Connor’s parents were still alive, Maverick treated Connor very well. Among all the children in the McDonald family, he was undoubtedly the most favored by Maverick. Perhaps this had a lot to do with Connor’s parents being in charge of Rockefeller in Dexas. But regardless, Maverick’s care for Connor came from the bottom of his heart.

But what he didn’t expect was that after his parents passed away, Maverick seemed to have changed completely and directly drove him out of the McDonald family.

Moreover, all these years had passed, and he never contacted Connor, not even a phone call.

Connor even felt that he might have already forgotten that he had a grandson named Connor.

Sometimes, he couldn’t understand why. After all, he was Maverick’s own grandson. Why would Maverick be so heartless?

If it weren’t for Birdie mentioning that Maverick might know the cause of his parents’ death, Connor would never want to recall those things he experienced in the McDonald family.

The things he went through at Porthampton University were already miserable enough, but compared to what he experienced in the McDonald family, he felt that it was simply too painful to mention.

He didn’t want to think about what the McDonald family did to him back then in his entire life.

Connor took a deep breath and muttered softly, “Some things need to be faced eventually…”

Although he didn’t want to return to the McDonald family now, he had no choice but to go back and clarify things since Maverick might be the only clue to investigate his parents’ death. Even if he didn’t want to face the people in the McDonald family, he could only choose to go back and find out the truth.

With that in mind, he took out his phone and dialed Thomas’ number. He informed him about giving the subway project to Birdie and briefly mentioned that he planned to return to his hometown.

Thomas understood what Connor wanted to do and didn’t waste any words, directly agreeing.

After hanging up the phone, Connor started his journey, preparing to go back to the McDonald family and take a look.
