1225: The Club Owner

The Club Owner

"When did I ever ask for your help?" Connor whispered to Salma as they moved to a distance.0

"You never asked me to help," she calmly replied to him.

"Then why did you say those things in front of everyone? Your words could easily make others misunderstand our relationship, don't you realize that?" he said to her with a hint of helplessness.

She took a deep breath and whispered, "Connor, I am willingly offering money to help you now. Do you know how many people want this opportunity but can't get it?"

"I don't need your help right now!" he directly responded to her.

"You..." Salma looked at Connor in speechlessness and then said softly, "Don't you want to acquire Heavens Club?"

"Of course, I want to acquire Heavens Club, but I will do it my own way. The Thompson family can also participate in the competition. As long as the club doesn't end up in the hands of Arthur and the Synder family, that's all I care about," Connor said softly to Salma.

Salma couldn't help but turn her head and look at him for a moment before whispering, "Connor, do you dislike me that much?"

"I don't dislike you. On the contrary, I think you are a good person. But I already have a fiancee, and I don't want to do anything that would betray her. So no matter how much money you offer, I cannot be with you. I believe that one day you will find someone who suits you," he calmly explained to her.

She turned to him hesitatingly for two seconds, then whispered, "I never thought that I, Salma, would end up like this. I used to be the one rejecting others, but now it seems like others are always rejecting me. I'm really curious about who your fiancee is, someone who can earn such unwavering loyalty from you."

"My fiancee is the most perfect woman in this world," he said lightly.

"Alright then, let's just be friends from now on," she said proactively, knowing that she might truly have no hope anymore.

"Okay." He nodded gently.

"Do you still need my help in acquiring Heavens Club?" Salma asked Connor again, looking at him.

"No, I don't. As long as Heavens Club doesn't end up in the hands of Arthur, if the Thompson family needs my help, I can assist you," he said calmly.

"What can you do to help us?" she responded in a frustrated tone, then turned and walked back to Frank's side.

Connor sighed helplessly as he watched Salma's figure. He knew that his words earlier had been quite serious, but he felt it was better to be clear and not let Salma continue to misunderstand.

On the other side, after Salma returned to Frank's side, she said with a dejected expression, "Grandfather, I failed. Connor said he doesn't need our help!"

"Hehe..." Frank chuckled lightly upon hearing this, then with an expressionless face, he said, "A mere 30 billion isn't enough to move Mr. Connor of Porthampton. But my goal has been achieved, and you have completed your task..."

"Grandfather, what do you mean by that?" She paused, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Connor is Mr. Connor, the rich heir of Porthampton. His assets have long surpassed trillions and he would never be interested in the things our Thompson family has. The reason I had you do this was simply to build a good relationship between you and Connor. After all, if our Thompson family encounters any trouble in the future, Connor wouldn't just stand by, considering your face," Frank, the old fox, had been using Salma's feelings for Connor to win him over. He knew very well that Salma and their Thompson family were not on par with Connor.

"Connor's assets have surpassed trillions?" Salma was dumbfounded upon hearing Frank's words, her face showing shock.

"And that's just a conservative estimate. His overseas assets are even more terrifying," Frank sighed lightly.

Salma subconsciously looked towards Connor's position, her expression a mix of shock and astonishment.

Meanwhile, Vanessa stepped onto the stage, wearing high heels, when she felt the time was right.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is everyone enjoying themselves? Are you satisfied with the hospitality of our club?" After stepping onto the stage, Vanessa smiled and asked the crowd.

"President Xia, please don't keep us in suspense. When will your club's owner appear?" "Yeah, President Xia, we've been waiting for so long just to see your boss. Is he coming today or not?" "Tell us about the club transfer already!"

The crowd seemed impatient, their voices filled with urgency as they questioned Vanessa.

Upon hearing the words of the crowd, Vanessa smiled faintly and said, "Don't be so impatient, everyone. In fact, our club's owner has already arrived a long time ago, and she has been observing all of you in secret..."

Vanessa's words were like a bolt from the blue, directly hitting the people present.

No one had expected that the owner of Heavens Club had already arrived and was among them.

People began to look around, trying to find the owner of the club among themselves.

Even Connor was curious about who the owner of this club could be. He looked around but couldn't find anyone who seemed like the owner.

"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense. Now, let's invite the owner of our Heavens Club to come on stage and talk about the club transfer!" Vanessa said with a beaming smile before stepping back behind the stage.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, their attention focused on the area below the stage.

Because they knew that the person walking up from below the stage at this moment should be the owner of Heavens Club.

"Why make such a big fuss about a club owner? Is it necessary to be so secretive?" Connor couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

But the next second, he froze in place.

He saw Chelsea, wearing delicate high heels, exuding charm as she walked out from the crowd.

His initial reaction was that she was coming towards him.

But the next second, Connor realized that she was actually heading directly towards the stage.
