After John left the restaurant, he walked to the riverside behind the courtyard house with his hands behind his back.
The Phillips Family’s old mansion was backed by the Davenport River. The river water was crystal clear and flowed quietly like a green belt.
The willows and green grass by the river complemented each other. A few yellow-white rocks protruded from the middle of the river like small animals lying on them. The scenery was beautiful.
After John walked to the riverside, he slowly stopped and narrowed his eyes to look at the scenery by the riverside.
Connor hesitated for a moment, then walked to John’s side and asked softly, “Grandpa John, you wanted to see me?”
Actually, Connor already knew why John wanted to see him. Why else would John want to see him at this hour?
John narrowed his eyes and looked at the scenery by the river. He sighed softly, and the expression on his face turned serious. He was like a completely different person from the Phillips Family’s courtyard house.
“What do you think of the scenery here?”
John turned to look at Connor and asked him calmly.
“It’s not bad…”
Connor hesitated for a moment before answering softly.
“Then, do you know how much it costs to buy a courtyard house here?”
John continued to ask.
“I don’t…”
Connor lightly shook his head.
“If you don’t know, I can tell you that if you want to buy a courtyard house here, it will cost at least 80 million dollars. For an ordinary person, they might not be able to earn that much money even if they work hard for their entire life!”
John said slowly.
“Haha…”
Connor looked at John in front of him and smiled lightly. He did not say anything.
80 million might be an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for Connor, it was really insignificant.
In John’s eyes, the smile on Connor’s face was just a helpless smile.
Therefore, he continued, “A courtyard house worth 80 million dollars isn’t the most expensive one in the Phillips Estate. The Lawson Family’s courtyard house costs at least 500 million dollars. Moreover, you might not be able to buy it even if you have the money!”
“A courtyard house costs so much money?”
Connor replied softly in order to cooperate with John.
“Of course. The villas nowadays can’t compare to a courtyard house. A courtyard house is a symbol of status in Davenport! However, although the Lawson Family’s courtyard house is priceless, it might not even be ranked in the top ten in Davenport. If it were compared to the whole country, it’s not even worth mentioning!”
After saying this, John turned to look at Connor and continued, “Our Phillips Family’s courtyard represents our Phillips Family’s status. You’re just a poor student now. You don’t even have a house of your own. Even if you do, it’s just an ordinary building!”
“Grandpa John, you’ve told me so much. What are you trying to say?”
Connor frowned and asked John.
“What I mean is, you’re not on the same level as the Phillips Family at all. You’re not from the same world as my granddaughter, so 1 hope you can take the initiative to cancel the engagement and leave Freya!”
John didn’t beat around the bush with Connor and went straight to the point.

Connor looked at John with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
That was because John had left a very good impression on Connor when he was in the Phillips Family’s courtyard house. At the very least, John did not look down on him because of Connor’s poverty.
But at this moment, Connor realized that everything that John had shown in the courtyard house was all an act!
“Grandpa John, how do you know that I’m not worthy of Freya Phillips?”
Connor hesitated and asked John softly.
“How do I know?”
John replied indifferently and then continued, “1 admit that compared to ordinary people, you’re indeed quite outstanding. You’re able to know someone like Thomas Morgan at such a young age. Just this alone can put you on the same level as most of your peers!”
“Looks like you have investigated my identity. You actually know that 1 know Thomas Morgan!”
When Connor heard John’s words, he knew that John had definitely investigated him in advance.
However, according to the Phillips Family’s current ability, it was simply impossible to investigate Connor’s true identity.
Therefore, John only knew that Connor knew Thomas Morgan, but he did not know that Connor was actually Thomas’s boss.
“Since you know someone like Thomas Morgan at your young age, I figured that your background would be extraordinary. But 1 didn’t expect it to be a coincident!
“Freya is my granddaughter and my most beloved child!
“If you think that you can marry Freya just because you know Thomas, then you’re too naive!
“I’m not afraid to tell you that a person like you is not worthy of my granddaughter!”
John exclaimed.
As he spoke, John’s powerful aura instantly spread out, making people shudder.
However, Connor remained calm and asked John softly, “Grandpa John, what kind of person do you think is worthy of Freya?”
“At the very least, he should be a young talent from a family that’s on par with our Phillips Family. You’re just a poor student now!”
John looked at Connor and shook his head in disappointment. Then, he continued, “If she really marries you, not only will it not benefit the Phillips Family, but you won’t even have a way to ensure that she lives a good life, so how could we let Freya marry you?”
“To put it bluntly, you still see this marriage as a transaction. What you’re thinking about now is whether 1 can bring benefits to your Phillips Family if Freya marries me!”
John was so straightforward, so he did not have any scruples.
“If that’s what you think, then I won’t refute that. After all, adults only think of gaining benefits. Right or wrong doesn’t matter!”
John replied frankly.
“I won’t leave Freya!”
Connor said expressionlessly.
“It’s not up to you to decide whether you want to leave or not. If you don’t leave Freya, 1 won’t help you with the Lawson Family’s matters. When the time comes, revenge from the Lawsons await you. Although Thomas’s sphere of influence is very wide, it doesn’t involve the Phillips Family. So, if you don’t agree to leave Freya, you might not be able to leave the Phillips Estate!”
John seemed to have guessed that Connor would reject him, so he continued to threaten him.
“It’s not up to the Lawsons to decide whether 1 can walk out of the Phillips Estate or not!”
Connor said in a domineering tone..
