Hearing Laura’s words, Freya, who was driving, turned her head and glared at her. With an ugly expression, she said, “Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“Nonsense? How am 1 spouting nonsense?” Laura’s face darkened and she continued, “Connor never touched the vase at all, and he’s not an antique expert. How could he possibly know that the vase was fake?”

“Can’t you tell that the vase is fake just because you haven’t touched it? What if Connor knew a lot about antiques?” Freya also seemed to think that Laura’s words made sense, so her voice became much softer towards the end.

Laura sneered. “Does he look like someone who knows antiques?”

“Mom! Aren’t your words a little too much?” Freya widened her eyes and yelled at her with a displeased expression.

“I’m just stating the facts. How is that too much?”

Laura saw that Freya had been speaking up for Connor, so she naturally felt very upset. She turned to Connor and asked, “Connor, tell us. How did you tell that the antique was fake?”

When Connor heard Laura’s words, he could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he said indifferently, “Aunt Laura, I do know antiques. The reason why 1 said that this vase was fake was all a blind guess…”

Of course, Connor would not tell Laura the truth at this time, so he could only follow her meaning and try to end this topic as soon as possible.

When Laura heard Connor’s words, her expression instantly became smug. She turned her head and shouted, “Freya, did you hear that? Connor himself admitted that he was spouting nonsense. What else do you want to say?”

Freya sighed helplessly and said, “Alright, even if Connor got a lucky guess, no matter what, he still helped our family a lot, right? Isn’t it a little too much to talk to him like that? If it weren’t for what he said today, we would still be worrying about that 20 million dollars!”

When Laura and Sean heard this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across their eyes. This was because they knew that Freya was right; they were able to escape unscathed today only because of Connor. However, the two of them looked down on Connor from the bottom of their hearts, so they did not take the initiative to thank him.

“I know you two look down on Connor, but you can’t go so overboard. Shane just helped you guys with a small favor, yet you guys are so grateful to him. Connor helped us with such a big favor, but you guys are acting like nothing happened!”

Freya vented her dissatisfaction at Laura and Sean.

She originally thought that since Connor had helped them so much today, her parents’ attitude towards Connor should have changed. However, Freya did not expect her parents to act as if nothing had happened. Not only did they not treat Connor better, but they even became meaner. Freya could not take it anymore.

“Freya, what are you doing? Your mother didn’t mean anything else. Connor has helped us so much this time, and we’ve all remembered it. It’s just that we’ve already treated Connor as our family, so we didn’t thank him. Please don’t take it to heart!”

When Sean saw that Freya was really angry, he quickly said this with a smile to smooth things over.

“That’s right, Freya. Mom didn’t mean to make things difficult for Connor. That’s why he said those words. Please don’t take it to heart!”

Laura also felt that she’d gone a little overboard, so she also tried to soothe Freya.

Freya took a deep breath and turned to look at Connor without saying anything else. No matter what, these two people were her parents. Freya was worried that if she continued, Sean and Laura would be sad.

Connor, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care. He just sat there quietly without saying a word. After all, he was already used to such things.

20 minutes later, everyone finally returned to the hotel.

After a whole night, when Connor and the others returned to the hotel, it was almost midnight, so everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, at ten o’clock in the morning.

After Freya woke up, she dressed up briefly and ran to Sean and Laura’s room.

After entering, she found Sean sitting on the sofa watching TV while Laura was putting on makeup in the bathroom.

“Freya, your great uncle and the others will be coming over today. Your father and I have to go to your grandfather’s house to receive them. If you have nothing to do during the day, bring Connor out…”

Laura whispered to Freya as she put on her makeup.

Perhaps because of what happened last night, Laura’s attitude towards Connor had changed slightly.

“Second Grandpa and the others are here? Then should I go over?”

Freya hesitated for a moment before asking with anticipation.

“Normally, we should bring you over. After all, your great uncle hasn’t seen you in a long time. However, the two of us were thinking that if we bring you over, we would have to bring Connor along, so…”

Laura was worried that Freya would be angry, so she stopped halfway. However, Freya knew what Laura meant: Laura was worried that Connor would embarrass them.

Freya didn’t say anything. Instead, she walked over to Sean and sat down on the sofa to watch TV with him.

“Freya, your great uncle’s generation is doing better than us, so they’re all proud and arrogant. If they see Connor, they might make fun of him. Your mother’s words just now didn’t mean anything else. Don’t take it to heart…”

“I know…”

Freya nodded helplessly and did not say anything else.

“By the way, how’s the situation at your company?” Sean asked.

“Last time, Connor helped get Thomas Morgan to invest 200 million in my company, so the situation at the company is quite stable now!”

Freya deliberately made sure to emphasize that Connor was the one who’d gotten Thomas to help. Her goal was to increase Connor’s favorability in her parents’ hearts.

“I didn’t expect this Connor to have some connections. He actually knows someone like Thomas Morgan!” Laura said sarcastically after hearing Freya’s words.

Hearing Laura finally praise Connor once, Freya was naturally very happy and quickly said, “Connor is not what you think at all. You don’t understand him!”

“Haha…”

Laura sneered and did not say anything..
