337: A Difficult Decision

A Difficult Decision

No one had expected Stephanie to say something like this. She actually planned to disfigure Freya in front of so many people.0

However, these people didn't know that Stephanie was only doing this to provoke Connor into revealing his true identity.

Stephanie had given Connor two option just now, but he still did not react in any way. Stephanie felt that perhaps it was because her words just now did not really agitate Connor, so she proposed the idea of disfiguring Freya.

Very clearly, the current Connor was already on the verge of rage and could erupt at any time.

Stephanie also felt the anger in Connor's eyes. She felt that if she provoked him a little more, he would definitely go berserk and reveal his own identity.

"Howard, I don't want to talk nonsense with these people anymore."

At this moment, Stephanie suddenly shouted.

"Alright, Miss Lee!"

Howard obviously understood what Stephanie wanted to do. He immediately took out a small knife from his clothes and rushed toward Freya.

"Freya, be careful!"

Maya shouted instinctively when she saw Howard rushing over.

Freya was so frightened that she hurriedly took two steps back. Perhaps because she was too nervous, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Howard approached Freya step by step.

The surrounding spectators all ran off into the distance. No one was willing to step forward to help Freya.

Howard held a small knife in his hand, a sinister smile on his face as he slowly walked up to Freya.

"I'm sorry!"

At this moment, Howard suddenly shouted at Freya. Then, he raised the knife in his hand and slashed at Freya's face.

"Ah…"

Freya screamed out of fear and closed her eyes.

In the next second, blood spurted out.

However, Howard's knife did not cut Freya's face. Instead, it stabbed into Connor's back.

Just as Howard was about to attack, Connor suddenly rushed over and hugged Freya, using his back to shield her.

"Ugh…"

When Connor felt the pain coming from his back, he could not help but gasp.

Meanwhile, Freya stared at Connor with an incredulous expression. She never thought that Connor would save her at such a critical moment!

"Connor, are… are you alright? Are you stupid?"

Freya's eyes instantly became moist as she exclaimed.

Connor raised his head and glanced at Freya. He forced out a smile and said in a low voice, "If this knife were to cut your face, how could I bear to…"

When Freya heard Connor's words, she froze on the spot. Tears could not help but fall from her eyes. She was really touched by his action.

When Stephanie saw this scene, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

Because she knew that her goal had been achieved. At this moment, Connor must have been completely angered by her.

Connor endured the pain on his back and slowly got up to look at Stephanie. He asked with an unusually sinister expression, "Do you know how stupid your actions are now?"

"Stupid? Is it really?"

Stephanie looked at Connor with a disdainful smile.

"Do you know what will happen if you anger me?"

Connor continued coldly.

"I don't know what will happen if I anger you, but I know that you know Kyle Hayes and Thomas Morgan. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance to call them and ask them to get someone to help you!"

Stephanie replied lightly, then took out a phone and threw it in front of Connor.

Connor looked down at the phone on the ground. At this moment, he finally understood why Stephanie did this!

Stephanie wanted Connor to call Kyle and Thomas so that he would have to expose his identity in front of Freya.

"Stephanie Lee and Yannick Lee!"

Connor shook his head and smiled bitterly. Then, he said indifferently, "Looks like you guys really put in a lot of effort this time!"

"..."

When Stephanie heard Connor's words, she could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, she sneered.

Then, she stood up and walked in front of Connor. She used a voice that only Connor could hear and said, "Connor, since you've already found out, I'll tell you the truth. Everything that happened today was actually planned by me. My real goal is to expose your identity in front of Freya and make you lose the right to inherit the inheritance."

"Are you so sure that I will expose my identity in front of Freya?"

Connor gritted his teeth and replied in a low voice.

"I'm not, but you only have two options now. The first is to watch your fiancée get disfigured, but you still have the right to inherit the old chairman's inheritance. The second is to use all the power you have to protect her, but you have to expose your identity in front of Freya."

"On one side is your beloved woman, and on the other side is ten trillion in wealth. I'm also very curious what you'll choose!"

Stephanie looked at Connor with a faint smile, then sat back down on the chair and looked at Connor with a playful expression.

Connor stood there expressionlessly, gritting his teeth and not saying a word.

Stephanie was right. There were only two paths in front of Connor. One was the path to Freya, and the other was the path to ten trillion.

At this moment, Connor had to make a choice. Between money and woman, he had to give up one!

No matter who was in front of this multiple-choice question, it would be a difficult decision to make.

No one knew how to choose.

What was the most important thing between a woman he loved and a huge amount of wealth?

Freya, Maya, Priscilla, and the others looked at Connor with puzzled expressions. They didn't know what Stephanie had just said to Connor, nor did they know what Connor was thinking.

"Connor, I'm not in the mood to waste time with you. My patience is limited, so I'll give you three minutes to consider. If you still haven't made a choice after three minutes, then don't blame me for what's about to happen next!"

At this moment, Stephanie shouted at Connor again.
