Mr. Lenny couldn’t help but pause after hearing Yana’s words.
He quickly turned around and asked her, “Yana, what do you mean by that?”
With a proud expression, Yana walked out from the crowd and approached Connor.
She glanced up and down at Connor, wearing a disdainful expression as she said, “Mr. Lenny, 1 know this person. His name is Connor, a student at Porthampton University. He used to work part-time at a bar. I don’t think someone like him qualifies to attend such a high-end auction, right?”
Upon hearing these words, the crowd instantly erupted in discussion.
“Connor is just a poor student. He doesn’t even have money to pay his tuition fees. How could he possibly know the owner of Grand Hotel?”
She continued speaking as she looked at the crowd.
Upon hearing her words, everyone present was stunned, their expressions filled with astonishment.
They never expected that he would be such a person!
At this point, Mr. Lenny had already come to a conclusion. Harold had previously suspected Connor, and now Yana had come forward to accuse him of his identity.
This undoubtedly meant that he must have sneaked in, there was no doubt about it!
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Lenny asked Yana, “Yana, do you know why he sneaked in?”
Yana’s expression appeared somewhat disdainful upon hearing this question.
With a cold face, she said, “What else could it be? He must have come in to steal things…”
The crowd was even more shocked upon hearing Yana’s words.
Because they initially thought that Connor had sneaked in to meet Sabrina, so they never expected him to be an actual thief.
“How could he possibly know the boss of Grand Hotel? Even if they know each other, they wouldn’t invite him to attend such an auction, right? After all, anything presented at today’s auction is of priceless value. How could this he afford it?”
“Yeah, he must have come in to steal things. 1 never expected that Sabrina would actually have such a boyfriend. It’s really beyond imagination…”
At this moment, everyone’s gaze towards Connor became contemptuous.
If Connor had only sneaked in to meet Sabrina, they would had understand.
But he lied, claiming that he was invited, and now he had been exposed. This clearly showed a problem with his character.
Who could have imagined that Sabrina, who had always been lofty, would actually find such a boyfriend.
Connor narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yana, his expression full of amusement.
In fact, he knew very well that Yana said those words just to retaliate against him.
“Yana, are your words true?”
Mr. Lenny asked Yana, looking at her.
“Mr. Lenny, everything 1 said is true. If you don’t believe it, you can ask anyone here. Many people know this Connor…”
Yana said firmly.
“Yes, I can testify…”
At this moment, a young man walked out from the crowd.
Connor glanced at this person and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Because Connor realized that he didn’t know this person at all. He thought this person should also be a student at Porthampton University.
The young man turned his head and glanced at Sadie, then said, “I know this person is a student at Porthampton University. 1 have seen him at Porthampton University, and my friend Sadie has also told me that his family conditions are very difficult. So, Mr. Lenny, it’s best for you to investigate this matter…”
Upon hearing these words, Connor couldn’t help but turn his head and glance at Sadie.
At this moment, Connor finally understood that the young man who spoke up was actually Sadie’s friend, and their relationship seemed to be very good.
But Connor couldn’t understand why this young man, whom he didn’t know, would stab him in the back.
Sadie also looked at the young man, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
Because she couldn’t understand why this young man would join in the fun, as there shouldn’t be any conflict between him and Connor!
“Mr. Sheldon, are what you said true?”
Mr. Lenny asked the young man with great respect.
“Mr. Lenny, so many people are watching. Do you think I would lie to you?”
The young man replied indifferently.
Upon hearing these words, the crowd instantly erupted in discussion.
If someone else had said these words, they might not have been very convincing.
But if it was this young man speaking, most people would believe him.
Because this young man was none other than Sheldon Statton, the pursuer of Sadie!
The Statton family was quite famous in Porthampton, and Sheldon could be considered a rising star among the young generation of Porthampton. Many people knew him.
No one had expected that he would come forward and speak at this moment!
Even Harold showed a surprised expression because although he knew Sheldon, their relationship was quite ordinary.
He couldn’t understand why Sheldon would come forward to speak up for him.
Sadie also didn’t understand what Sheldon meant by this.
After hesitating for two seconds, she quickly walked up to Sheldon and frowned, asking him, “Sheldon, what are you talking about?”
“Sadie, didn’t you tell me about this Connor? I’m just speaking the truth, I don’t have any other intentions!” he said seriously.
She looked at him, her expression full of helplessness, not knowing what to say.
After hearing the conversation between them, Connor finally understood.
The person who stabbed him in the back was none other than Sheldon, Sadie’s pursuer.
Sheldon stood up at this moment to harm Connor, not to help Harold. He simply regarded Connor as his competitor.
So he thought that as long as he stood up and said a few words, he could completely ruin Connor’s reputation, which would be a good thing for him!
Connor squinted his eyes as he looked at Sheldon’s position, his expression extremely helpless.
Because he didn’t expect that he would unintentionally offend so many people..
