“To please you?”

Freya’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She couldn’t understand why an influential person like Titus would curry favor with an ordinary university student like Connor.

“Yeap, Titus has always been trying to please me. He has come to me several times in private, but I rejected him every time!”

Connor paused and then continued, “Titus somehow found out about my relationship with Thomas, so he wanted me to help him ask Thomas for something. I didn’t want to get involved with them, so I never agreed to Titus’s request!”

“And then?” Freya blinked and asked.

“You know what happened after that. Before 1 came, 1 contacted Titus and asked him to do me a favor. He took the initiative to admit that the vase was fake, but in fact, the vase was real!” Connor slowly explained.

“But if he does this, won’t he lose a vase for nothing?”

That vase was worth forty million dollars. Did Titus not want the money just because of Connor’s words?

“I’ve already made an agreement with Titus. As long as he helps me with this, I’ll treat this money as what 1 owe him. When 1 have money in the future, 1’11 naturally return this money to him!”

Connor looked away as he made up an excuse.

“Why should Titus believe you? What if you don’t have that much money in the future?” Freya asked in confusion.

“Titus is not worried about this problem at all because he knows the relationship between Thomas and me. Even if 1 don’t have that much money, Thomas will help me when the time comes…” Connor said lightly.

“…” Freya looked at Connor with a complicated expression.

This was too unbelievable.

But no matter what, Connor’s explanation was still very believable. Otherwise, there was no way to explain these things.

“Does that mean you have to bear the forty million dollars alone to help my parents?” Freya looked at Connor and asked.

“Uhm…” When Connor heard this, he was stunned and then said helplessly, “You can say that, but I’m not taking on this debt for your family. I’m doing it for you. I know that you can’t take out so much money now, and your father’s company probably doesn’t have much money, so I’m standing up to help you!”

After hearing Connor’s words, Freya was touched beyond words. She had never expected things to turn out like this.

In fact, Connor was the one who had been standing behind and silently contributing.

“Well… If that’s the case, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Why are you hiding these things from me?” Freya scolded Connor.

“Even if I told you, what could I do? Besides, 1 only made a verbal agreement with Titus. 1 can’t produce any evidence. Knowing your parents’ personalities, if 1 told them about this, they would spare no effort to mock me. So, it’s better not to say anything!”

Although Connor had made up all the things that happened before, this came from the bottom of his heart because he knew how Sean and Laura treated Connor.

“But you can’t keep it to yourself! You obviously did all these, but you haven’t said anything. If you do this, my parents will still look down on you!” Freya complained reluctantly, then got up, and was about to walk out of the room. “Where are you going?”

Seeing that Freya was about to leave, Connor hurriedly reached out to stop her and asked in a puzzled tone.

“What else can I do? I’m going to look for my parents now. I want to explain this to them!” Freya replied, her eyes widened.

“Do you think they will believe you?” Connor asked Freya helplessly.

Freya looked at Connor, speechless. Then, she bit her red lip and said, “Whether they believe it or not is their business, but I have to let them know. I have to let them know that you helped them bear the forty million dollars!”

“If you tell them about this now, not only will they not believe you, but they will also think I lied to you. Moreover, even if they believe you, so what? Can they return the money to me or something?”

Right now, Connor thought it would be better to avoid trouble. If Freya revealed this, as long as the Phillips Family casually investigated, they could discover the relationship between Connor and Titus. By then, things would only get worse.

“…” Freya stared at Connor. After hesitating, she said softly, “I… 1 feel that this is really unfair to you…”

“How can there be absolute fairness in this world?” Connor replied expressionlessly, then continued, “1 know you want to use this to change your parents’ opinion of me. However, the reason they don’t like me is actually because I’m a poor loser. Just one or two things can’t change these things. Besides…”

“Besides what?”

As Connor had not finished his sentence, Freya asked hurriedly.

“Nothing…”

Connor shook his head gently. He originally wanted to say that he had never thought of changing these things.

He didn’t care about what Sean and Laura thought of him. As long as Freya didn’t despise him, it didn’t matter.

Furthermore, these were only temporary. As long as he could marry Freya, the restriction on him not revealing his identity would be lifted. By then, everyone would look at him in a new light.

In Connor’s eyes, nothing was a big deal as long as it could be solved with money.

Freya looked at Connor and felt extremely touched.

However, while she was touched, Freya felt slightly upset on Connor’s behalf. After all, Connor had done so many things, but no one knew that he did these things. Moreover, they were all mocking him. This was unfair to Connor.

Not only did his parents not thank Connor, but they also tried all kinds of ways to humiliate Connor.

Only Connor would be able to endure such a thing. They would have laid their cards on the table long ago if it were anyone else.

Though Connor was only making up excuses, these excuses improved Freya’s impression of him..
