Chapter 382: Majority Rules

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…”novelbin

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.

“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.

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.
