Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Connor saw Freya pointing at himself, a hint of confusion flashed across his face. Pie couldn’t help but ask, “Freya, what do you mean? Why do you want me to leave?”

“There’s no particular reason. I just don’t want you to overhear the conversation between me and Priscilla. So please leave now!” she said seriously to him.

He hesitated for two seconds in place, then reluctantly nodded and said, “Alright, I understand. I’ll leave now!”

After saying this, he stood up and walked out of the meeting room directly.

She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing him leave, then turned to Jason and said, “Mr. Jason, you can play it now!”

“Alright, Miss Freya!”

Jason nodded lightly and then directly pressed the play button on his phone.

“Priscilla, are you asleep?”

Freya’s voice sounded.

“Not yet, what’s wrong?”

“I can’t sleep. I want to talk with you…”

The entire conference room fell into silence, and apart from the conversation between Freya and Priscilla, no other voices could be heard.

Yannick stared at the phone with a cold gaze, his expression gradually becoming grim.

“Priscilla, actually, I’m well aware that I’ve fallen for Connor now. 1 also want to agree to be with him, but I’m still hesitating!”

After Freya finished speaking, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed.

Because this statement alone was enough to prove that she had already fallen for Connor before his identity was exposed, and she also had the desire to be with him.

Yannick looked at the phone with a tightly furrowed brow, his expression filled with anger.

“Since you already have feelings for Connor, why don’t you tell him?”

Priscilla’s voice sounded.

“I’m afraid that if I agree to him so soon, he’ll think I’m too easy to pursue. What if he stops caring about me later?” she said softly.

“Priscilla, it’s the 21st century. Why are your thoughts still stuck in the last centuries? Besides, you like him, and he likes you so you two should be together. If you miss this chance because of your thoughts, you may not even have a chance to regret it later, you know?”

Priscilla advised with a somewhat helpless tone.

“But… I still have some…”

On the other side, Connor stood alone outside the conference room.

The conference room had good soundproofing, so he couldn’t hear the voices inside, but he could see the expressions on everyone’s faces.

He could see that Thomas’ expression was becoming more relaxed, while Yannick’s expression was growing more serious.

At this moment, he didn’t care whether he could regain the inheritance qualification anymore because it was no longer so important to him. What he truly cared about was whether he and Freya could still be together!

Her appearance today brought him hope. He believed that she must care about him, otherwise she wouldn’t have come here at all.

Even if he lost the inheritance, if he could finally be with her, he felt it would be worth it.

Furthermore, he had a doubt in his mind. He wondered why Thomas was helping him so much.

In his eyes, Thomas was just a profit-seeking businessman. Regardless of whether he inherited the estate or not, Thomas’ position wouldn’t change. Moreover, the heir had no authority to dismiss the legal team or Thomas, so he didn’t need to worry about who would ultimately inherit the estate.

“What is he doing all this for, after all?”

He looked at Thomas in the conference room and sighed softly.

Twenty minutes later, the recording finally finished playing.

Jonas returned the phone to Thomas and then said, “Miss Freya, Mr. Thomas, our legal team has listened to this recording. Now, we need to discuss how to handle this matter. I’m sorry to keep you waiting!”

“Okay!”

Thomas nodded lightly. He knew that if Jonas said so, it meant there was still a glimmer of hope in this matter.

At this moment, Yannick’s expression became gloomy. He sat with his head down, not revealing what he was thinking.

Thomas walked out of the conference room and said to Connor outside the room, “Mr. Connor, the recording has finished playing. You can come in now!” “Okay!”

Connor nodded lightly and followed Thomas back into the conference room.

After returning to the conference room, Connor sat directly next to Freya and asked her, “Freya, what did you and Priscilla talk about on the phone? Why can’t I hear it?”

She turned her head and glanced at him without saying a word.

“Priscilla said earlier that you had agreed to be with me. Is this true?” he continued to ask her.

“What does it have to do with you whether it’s true or not? You lied to me for so long. Even if it’s true, I’ve already changed my mind. I won’t be with a liar!” she replied coldly.

“But 1 didn’t intentionally lie to you. As you can see now, it’s the provision in the contract. What can I do? If 1 tell you my identity, wouldn’t 1 be violating the terms of the contract?” he explained helplessly.

“What would happen if you violated the terms?”

She looked at him and asked.

“If I violated the terms, then I would lose the qualification to inherit the estate!” he answered.

“So, in your heart, the inheritance is more important than me?” she sneered.

After hearing her words, he was stunned. He didn’t know how to answer her question.

“Mr. Connor, Mr. Thomas, Miss Freya!”

At this moment, Jonas walked over and called out to them.

“Mr. Jonas, what did you discuss? Is this matter considered a special case for Mr. Connor?”

Thomas asked Jonas with an excited expression.

“Mr. Thomas, just now our legal team analyzed the existing evidence and found that this matter is somewhat complicated. It’s hard to say whether it falls under a special case!” Jonas replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Connor’s eyes flickered with helplessness.

He didn’t expect that Freya would bring out the recorded phone call and still couldn’t convince the legal team. At this point, he could only resign himself to fate.

“What do you mean by ‘somewhat complicated’?”

At this moment, Yannick stood up, his tone filled with excitement as he questioned.

‘”Somewhat complicated’ means that this matter cannot be judged based solely on the contents of the contract if both parties have conflicting claims. According to the fifth provision in Steven’s will, if a situation arises that our legal team can’t handle, in a situation where both sides insist on their claims, we can resort to a vote. The twelve members of the legal team will vote, and the majority will prevail!” he replied calmly..
