Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Phillips Family’s courtyard.
Connor, Freya, and the others about to go out for dinner saw Zander, Ailee, and Qahira walking over after taking two steps out of the room.
Zander’s eyes flashed with anger when he saw Connor, and he ran to Connor in big strides.
Then, he grabbed Connor’s collar and shouted at the top of his voice, “Connor, how dare you come to our house? Get out!”
“Zander, what are you doing? This is the Phillips Family’s mansion, not your home! It’s not up to you whether Connor leaves or not!” Maya pushed Zander away and shouted angrily.
“Maya, how dare you side with an outsider? How could 1 have offended Adam if it weren’t for him today? I originally planned to build a good relationship with Adam, but now it’s all ruined by Connor!” Zander shouted, his eyes bulging.
“Zander, what are you doing? Hurry up and let go of Connor!” Zander’s father, Sebastian, walked over and ordered Zander sternly.
“Yeah. Can we talk about it properly? Why do you have to be so handsy?” John naturally noticed the situation with Connor and spoke expressionlessly.
After John spoke, Zander calmed down a lot. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “Dad, Grandpa, this stinking delivery man…”
“Let go of Connor now!” Sebastian interrupted Zander.
“…” Zander hesitated, slowly letting go of Connor’s collar.
“Zander, tell me what happened between you and Connor.” John waved at Zander and said calmly.
In John’s eyes, Zander’s temper wasn’t the best to begin with. Moreover, he was about the same age as Connor. They were inevitably having conflicts on their first meeting, so he didn’t take this too seriously.
At this moment, the Phillips Family had already gathered around them, looking at Connor and Zander with puzzled expressions.
“Grandpa, do you know who I saw at Collective Strokes today?” Zander asked John emotionally.
“Who?” John said indifferently.
“Adam Lawson! The Lawson Family’s Adam Lawson!” Zander answered through gritted teeth.
When everyone heard Adam’s name, they were instantly stunned, and their expressions filled with incredulity.
“Didn’t Adam go abroad to study?” John naturally knew what kind of person Adam was, so after hearing this name, he asked in a surprised tone.
“Yes, he did go abroad but returned a week ago!” Zander nodded.
“Zander, 1 didn’t expect you to know Mr. Lawson Jr..”
“Yeah, not everyone can get to know someone like Mr. Lawson Jr.. You must get along well with Mr. Lawson Jr. in the future!”
“I heard that the Lawson Family is the richest in Phillips Estate. Moreover, the Lawson Family is well-known in the business world and politics!”
After hearing Zander’s words, the Phillips Family members began to discuss in hushed voices.
“Oh yeah, Zander, what do you think is the relationship between Adam and Connor?” John’s expression was still calm as he asked Zander softly.
“Grandpa, so… this was what happened. Not long ago, the Lawson Family invested in a real estate project; the person in charge of this project happened to be Adam. I was also very interested in this project, so when Adam was overseas, I contacted him and wanted him to bring me along to work on this project,” Zander explained.
“Wow, Zander is really promising now. He knows to actually do business with Adam Lawson!” Zander’s mother spoke excitedly when she that.
After all, Zander had always been regarded as the most useless one among the descendants of the Phillips Family.
Zander’s mother was naturally elated when she learned that Zander would do business with Adam.
Even Zander’s father, Sebastian, was relieved.
“The Lawson Family is brilliant, and Adam is the most promising one among the children in the Lawson Family. Zander, if you hang out with Adam more, it will greatly help you!” John said slowly.
In today’s society, other than money, the most important thing was connections.
It was even more obvious, especially in a small place like Phillips Estate.
The Lawson Family controlled most of the resources of the Phillips Estate. If Zander could get along well with Adam, he would not have to worry about food and clothing even if he did nothing for the rest of his life.
No one had expected that the most useless child of the Phillips Family would be so lucky to get chummy with the Lawson Family!
“Grandpa, of course, i know that getting on good terms with Mr. Lawson Jr. will greatly help me. So, to please Adam, I went to Kelly Turner’s Collective Strokes today. I wanted to pretend to meet Adam by chance and then take the opportunity to curry favor with him. However, 1 never expected this to fail because of Connor. He made all my previous efforts go to waste!” Zander pointed at Connor and shouted angrily.
Zander did not go to Collective Strokes for Adam. After hearing that Connor would make a fool of himself there, he just wanted to go and watch the show.
He said this because he wanted the Phillips Family to think that Connor had affected his relationship with Adam.
Zander’s accusations were very effective. Everyone frowned and looked at Connor angrily.
They could not understand why Connor, an outsider, wanted to ruin the relationship between Zander and Adam.
“Zander, what’s going on? Explain it properly…” John’s interest was piqued as he narrowed his eyes and asked Zander.
“Grandpa, it’s true. Today, we saw Connor competing with someone else in Collective Strokes. Mr. Lawson Jr.’s girlfriend, Kelly Turner, saw that Connor was good at playing the guitar and wanted to give him a chance to be responsible for Collective Strokes!” Qahira said to John before he could say anything.
“Kelly Turner’s family is considered a notable family in Phillips Estate. If Kelly Turner acknowledges Connor’s talent, it would be a good opportunity!” John said slowly.
“Yeah, Ms. Turner even offered Connor an annual ten million-dollar salary!” Qahira pouted and said.
When Laura and Sean heard that, their eyes widened in shock..
