In the dormitory.
After Connor heard Rachel’s answer, he was shocked.
Although Connor had always guessed that it was Rachel who leaked this news, Connor couldn’t understand why Rachel did this. It didn’t benefit Rachel at all!
“What is your purpose?” Connor sized Rachel up and asked her expressionlessly.
“I don’t have any motives. I want you to expose your identity because I don’t want you to stay at Porthampton University!” Rachel slowly said.
“Why?”
Connor seemed even more puzzled because he couldn’t understand what his decision to leave Porthampton University had to do with Rachel!
“You’re asking me why?” Rachel seemed somewhat helpless. Then, she said softly, “Why do you think? Connor, have you forgotten the most important thing for you now? Have you forgotten why I came to Porthampton University to wait for you?”
“…”
Connor looked at Rachel without saying anything.
“If you have forgotten, then let me tell you that I didn’t come to Porthampton University to be a lecturer. I just wanted to join hands with you to deal with those people in Rockefeller. I wasn’t worried before you inherited Steven Lee’s inheritance. After you inherited Steven Lee’s inheritance, I gave you some time to adapt. But now, I think the time is almost ripe. There’s no need for you to continue staying at Porthampton. You should do what you should do!” Rachel said to Connor seriously.
“What does it have to do with me being at Porthampton University?” Connor frowned and asked.
“You spend most of your time in school now. Tell me, where do you find the time to deal with Rockefeller?” Rachel took a deep breath and continued, “I know that if I persuade you to leave Porthampton University, you will resist it. So, I might as well use this school sports meet to make it impossible for you to stay in Porthampton…”
“So that I can’t stay?” Connor sneered.
“Now that your identity has been exposed, basically all the students in Porthampton University know that you’re not an ordinary person. In the future, you definitely won’t be able to continue to stay as an ordinary person, so your best choice now is to leave here and do what you should do!” Rachel said in a low voice.
“Who exactly are you? What is your motive?” The more Connor listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He even suspected that Rachel was using him.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. You just have to remember that I’m not your enemy!” Rachel replied indifferently.
“How do I know you’re not my enemy? I’m now very suspicious of our purpose in contacting each other…” Connor said expressionlessly.
“If I wanted to harm you, would I help you contact Joey’s brother? If I wanted to harm you, I could have asked Joey not to help you back then…” Rachel looked at Connor and replied.
“Okay, since you brought this up, what about this? I won’t care about Joey’s brother anymore. You can bring Thomas to meet him tomorrow. If this project can be negotiated, I’ll consider cooperating with you. If this project can’t be negotiated, we’ll be ordinary friends in the future. I won’t choose to cooperate with someone I don’t trust…” Connor thought for a moment and said to Rachel solemnly.
“Do you think I’m trustworthy just because I helped you win this project?” Rachel lightly smiled and softly asked Connor.
“At the very least, you have helped me get some benefits. Moreover, this also hurt Rockefeller’s interests. This means that you can still be trusted for the time being!” Connor replied.
Rachel looked at Connor and didn’t say anything. In fact, Rachel also knew that what she had done before had already made Connor very dissatisfied. Connor was different from before. He would not be willing to be manipulated by others, nor did he want anyone to use him to do anything.
“All right, I promise you. I’ll bring Thomas to meet Joey’s brother tomorrow!” Rachel thought for a moment and nodded at Connor.
Connor took a deep breath after Rachel agreed. He didn’t say anything else and walked out of the dormitory.
In fact, Connor now knew why Rachel would reveal the sponsor’s matter. Rachel’s purpose was very simple. She just hoped Connor would leave school as soon as possible and put all his energy into the company. This way, Connor would have enough time to deal with Rockefeller.
But now, Connor still thought of leaving school, and Connor had not yet obtained his university graduation certificate.
Of course, Connor could put his name on the school and get his graduation certificate without coming to class.
However, the premise was that Connor was still the heir to this inheritance. Once Connor lost the qualification to inherit the inheritance, he would get nothing if he left the school. In the future, Connor would have a harder time in society.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
To put it bluntly, after experiencing the Lee Family’s fight for the inheritance, Connor had always felt that this money did not wholly belong to him. He might lose everything he had one day!
Once he lost all of this, Connor would have nothing left.
Therefore, Connor had always thought of ways to leave some leeway for himself. If he lost his inheritance, he would not be unable to survive in this society.
Connor had lived at the bottom of society before, so he naturally knew how hard it was to live there.
Therefore, Connor wanted to be Jorge’s disciple and finish university. This was to prepare for his future in society.
Back then, Connor hid his identity and did not want the people around him to know he was a super wealthy heir. He was worried that if Freya knew his identity, he would lose the right to inherit the inheritance.
Connor hid his identity because he didn’t want to be looked at differently by the people around him when he lost his inheritance one day.
To put it bluntly, this was just a way for Connor to protect himself!
The fewer people who knew Connor’s identity now, the less impact it would have on his future life if he lost the right to inherit the inheritance.
