185: I'll Work For You For Free

I'll Work For You For Free

"Yes. What is it? Speak!" Xena asked with a frown.

"Uhm, Ms. Hart, I'm sorry about what happened today. I thought about it and decided to return all the shares of your bar to you…" Wyatt knew Connor didn't want to expose his identity, so he spoke tactfully.

"..."

Xena was surprised when she heard that. Then, her eyes widened as she asked, "Wyatt, what do you mean? The matter between you and Connor today has nothing to do with me, right? And the person who hit you was Connor. I didn't provoke you. What do you mean by returning all the shares of the bar now? Who in the southern new district doesn't know that if you have no shares in a bar, it won't be able to continue operating? You're doing this to shut my bar down, right?"

In fact, Xena had already guessed that Wyatt would do this.

After all, Wyatt was beaten up by a waiter in her bar today. Wyatt would feel embarrassed. However, he could not afford to offend Rachel, so he could only vent his anger on Xena.

At this moment, Xena felt that the reason Wyatt returned the shares of the bar to her was to tell Xena that she didn't care about her bar anymore. 'If there are any problems with her bar in the future, please don't come to me for help.'

This was also why Xena turned to look at Rachel when she saw Wyatt calling her.

"Well, Ms. Hart, please don't misunderstand me! I'm returning the shares to you, but it doesn't mean that I won't care about your bar in the future. In the future, as long as something happens to your bar, I'll still care. Moreover, from tomorrow onward, I'll personally go to your bar to take care of it, but I don't want your shares in the bar anymore…" After hearing Xena's words, Wyatt's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly explained nervously.

"Are you saying that you'll return all the shares of the bar to me and that you'll still care if something happens to my bar in the future?" Xena calmed herself down and asked, puzzled.

"Yes, yes, that's right. That's what I meant. Ms. Hart, don't worry. In the future, your bar's issues will be mine to bear. I will help you take care of the bar. I will not let anyone cause trouble in your bar…" Wyatt chuckled.

"Wyatt, what are you trying to do?" Xena was confused. She couldn't understand why Wyatt would do that.

"Ms. Hart, I've already made myself clear to you! I'll help you look after the bar in the future, but I don't want the shares of the bar. I'll bring the share transfer contract to you tomorrow!" Wyatt said.

"Uhm…" Xena was rendered speechless. Only now did she realize that Wyatt would work for her for free!

"Why would you do that?" Xena asked.

"There's no reason…"

Wyatt smiled and said, "Alright, Ms. Hart, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

After saying this, Wyatt hung up the phone.

Xena was confused.

"What's wrong?" Rachel couldn't help but ask after seeing the expression on Xena's face.

"Rachel, did you ask Wyatt to return the shares to me?" Xena looked at Rachel and asked in confusion.

"How is that possible? Although Wyatt is afraid of me, I'm not powerful enough to make him return the shares to you. The shares of your bar are worth a lot of money, right?" Rachel replied indifferently.

"So why is Wyatt suddenly returning the shares to me?"

After Xena heard Rachel's words, she became even more confused.

A strange look flashed across Rachel's face. She hesitated but didn't say anything to Xena.

Meanwhile...

After Connor was sent back to the neighborhood by Kyle, he was attacked by a group of people for no reason before he could enter the elevator. They even knocked him unconscious and took him to the van.

After being unconscious for nearly half an hour, Connor gradually woke up.

When Connor opened his eyes, he found that his vision was pitch-black. Someone must have covered his eyes with a black cloth.

However, Connor could feel that he should be in the car. From time to time, he could hear people talking.

"Who are you, people? Why did you kidnap me?"

Connor hesitated and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"..."

There was silence in the car. No one answered Connor's question.

"What exactly are you doing? If you want money, I can give it to you now!"

After Connor realized that no one spoke, he struggled desperately.

"Thud!"

The young man sitting next to Connor clenched his fist and punched Connor's stomach. He then growled, "You'd better be f*cking quiet. Otherwise, you'll suffer…"

After Connor took the punch, he instantly became quiet. Then, he began to analyze in his mind who would kidnap him.

First of all, Connor felt that the person most likely to kidnap him should be the competitor that Thomas had told him about.

However, Connor felt that they should have killed him directly if the other party wanted to fight for the inheritance. There was no need to do anything unnecessary!

Therefore, Connor quickly rejected this idea.

'Could someone have known my identity and wants to kidnap me for money?'

A bold idea instantly appeared in Connor's minnd. Then, he recalled how many people knew his identity and had the courage to attack him.

"Screech!"

Not long after, the sound of a sudden brake was heard.

The car slowly stopped.

"We're here. Get out of the car!"

The young man sitting next to Connor shouted at Connor, then dragged Connor out of the car.

"Hey, can you take off the blindfold on my face? It hurts when you press on my eyes…" Connor said.

"Cut the crap!" The young man slapped Connor's head and brought him into a warehouse.

After entering the warehouse, Connor was tied to a chair with a rope.

"It's finally settled!"

After tying Connor up, the young man let out a long sigh and sighed softly.

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?"

As Connor was still blindfolded, he had no idea what was happening.

"Connor, are you afraid?"

At this moment, a familiar voice spoke.

"Click clack, click clack!"

Then, there was the sound of high heels hitting the ground.1

The woman approached Connor and reached out to pull off the blindfold over Connor's eyes.

When Connor saw the woman before him, he was instantly stunned and in disbelief!

"How dare you?" Connor looked at the woman and shouted in shock.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me?" The woman's lips curled into a playful smile.
