486: A Call from Aunt Candace

A Call from Aunt Candace

After Mina heard Connor's words, she was instantly stunned on the spot, her face filled with disbelief.1

Because Mina had never thought that Connor would actually be CeeM himself!

Back then, in order to help Mina to get rid of Hector, Connor even took the initiative to admit his identity to Mina, but unfortunately, Mina did not believe Connor's words at that time.

Mina was silent for a long time, and finally asked Connor in shock, "Connor, are you really not lying to me? You're the real CeeM right?"

"Why would I lie to you at a time like this? Moreover, I've already proven my identity to you just now. If you still don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do!" Connor sat on the sofa and said to Mina helplessly.

"Then if these things didn't happen, would you never tell me that you were the real CeeM?" Mina shouted excitedly at Connor.

"Even if you knew that I'm CeeM, so what? This will only cause some estrangement between the two of us. Back then, when you didn't know my identity, you could still treat me as a friend. But now that you know my identity, will you still treat me as a friend? Can you still treat me like before?"

Connor replied with a serious expression.

Mina looked at Connor and couldn't help but sigh. She then said in a low voice, "You're right. I might not be able to get along with you in the same way as before. After all, you're no longer the Connor I knew!"

"..."

Connor looked at Mina without saying anything.

In fact, Connor had already guessed that this would be the result. As long as Connor told Mina the truth, she would definitely not be able to accept these things. Moreover, she would not know how to face Connor in the future.

This was also the reason Connor had never mentioned his status to anyone even though he could. Connor didn't want to lose his previous life, nor did he want to see his friends gradually alienate him because of the change in his identity.

In many people's eyes, if someone suddenly became rich, their friends would definitely try all kinds of ways to curry favor with them. But in fact, things were not like that at all. Those who knew that you were rich and came to curry favor with you were not your friends at all!

Those people could only be considered fair-weather friends at most. Real friends would never come over to curry favor with you just because you were rich. On the contrary, they would gradually alienate you because of the difference in status between you and them.

Connor did not lack fair-weather friends, nor did he lack people who flattered him. What he lacked was friends who would stand by his side regardless of whether they were rich or poor.

Mina was precisely this kind of person. Back then, Mina did not despise Connor just because he was poor, so Connor had helped Mina again and again.

But now that Mina knew Connor's identity, she didn't know how to get along with him anymore.

"Connor, thank you for your help, but I really didn't expect you to be CeeM. Thank you for the gifts you sent in my livestream, but I won't take a single cent of that money. I'll return it all to you in two days…"

After saying this, Mina turned around and ran out of the villa.

Connor sat on the sofa and looked at Mina's back. He couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't chase after her because he knew that even if he chased after her now, he wouldn't be able to make her stay.

"Ah…"

Connor took a deep breath. He did not expect things to end up like this.

He had only wanted to lend the villa to Mina out of kindness, but how could he have imagined that Mina's friend would cause such a mess?

After some time, Connor slowly got up and walked to the bedroom.

He didn't plan to return to the rented house anymore. After all, if he met Mina again, Connor didn't know what he should say to her.

Connor went to the bathroom to take a shower and then went straight back to the bedroom.

Although the bedroom in the villa was very comfortable and the space was much larger than the rented house that Connor had lived in before, for some reason, Connor still liked the previous house better.

This villa was empty. Connor was indeed a little lonely living alone.

Connor lay on the bed and thought that if Chloe moved in, it would be better, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

After all, he couldn't let anyone know about his relationship with Chloe. If Chloe lived with him, it would definitely be exposed.

Therefore, Connor felt that it was better for him to live alone in this villa.

..

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning.

Connor slowly opened his eyes, then picked up his phone to look at the time.

There were only less than three days left before Connor would start school again. Connor was prepared to move to the dormitory in the school when that happened.

That way, he could still be with Dominic, Spencer and the others every day.

Although the environment was not bad, living alone in such a big villa was really lonely.

"Ring!"

At this moment, Connor's phone suddenly rang.

Connor subconsciously looked at his phone and found that an unfamiliar number was calling him.

Connor originally thought that it was just a scam call, so he hung up without thinking. 

However, just as Connor hung up the phone, the other party called again.

Connor looked at his phone and was stunned for a moment. He felt that if it was a scam call, the other party would usually not call again after hanging up once.

But now that the phone was ringing again, it meant that the person who called was not a stranger, but someone who wanted to talk to him about something.

So in the end, Connor picked up the phone and said softly, "Hello, who is it?"

"Connor, you're getting bolder now. You actually dare to hang up on me!"

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. Her voice was very elegant.

"Aunt Candace, why did you call me?"

Connor asked with a puzzled expression after hearing the woman's voice.

"Why? Can't your Aunt Candace call you? I'm in Porthampton now. Do you want to meet up?"

The woman chuckled.
