They didn’t expect John to be so heartless.
Initially, they thought that John would at most reprimand Connor in front of everyone, but they did not expect him to not show any mercy and chase Connor away.
The entire restaurant fell into a dead silence. Everyone stared in John’s direction with disbelief on their faces.
Even Connor himself didn’t expect John to be so angry. He originally thought that since his relationship with Joshua couldn’t be explained clearly, it would be better not to explain it to these people. When John’s anger subsided, this matter would be considered to have passed.
However, he never expected that John would actually chase him out!
“Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? Connor only made a small mistake. Why did you chase him away?” Freya shouted at John excitedly.
“A small matter?” John couldn’t help but sneer. Then, he said in a deep voice, “How can this be a small matter when it concerns the Phillips family’s dignity? Things have already reached this stage, and yet this kid still won’t admit what he did. How can 1 agree to marry you to such a person?”
Freya was stunned for a moment when she heard John’s words. Then, she took a step forward and shouted, “It shouldn’t be up to you to decide whether I want to marry Connor or not, right?”
“You’re my granddaughter. Of course I have the right to decide your matters!” John roared in an unusually domineering manner.
Freya was stunned on the spot because John had never used such a tone to speak to her since she was young.
The Phillips family members present already disliked Connor. Moreover, they knew John’s character very well, so they naturally wouldn’t persuade him otherwise at this time.
“Connor, what are you still standing there for? Don’t tell me you don’t think our Phillips family has lost enough dignity? Get out of here now!” John shouted at Connor, his eyes wide.
Connor took a deep breath and asked John in a low voice, “Are you sure you want me to leave now?”
“What do you think? If I asked you to leave, do you think I still want to keep you for dinner?” John replied coldly.
Connor stood in place and hesitated for two seconds. He knew very well that even if he stayed here, he would only be mocked by others. Therefore, he might as well just leave. In any case, the image that he had painstakingly established in front of Freya had completely collapsed. As for John’s disapproval of him being with Freya, Connor was not very worried; after all, he would be able to explain everything that happened today sooner or later.
“Connor, don’t leave…”
When Freya saw that Connor was about to leave, she hurriedly reached out and pulled him back.
“I’ll only cause trouble for you guys if 1 stay here. I’d better go back to the hotel first!” Connor said in a low voice.
“The hotel also belongs to the Phillips family. What right do you have to stay there now? I think you should hurry up and scram back to Porthampton!”
Sandra finally let out a sigh of relief after saying that. At this time, she did not forget to humiliate Connor.
Connor glanced at Sandra indifferently and said in a low voice, “”Even if I leave now, you will take the initiative to invite me back!”
“Who do you think you are? Don’t tell me our Phillips family can’t do without you, you piece of trash?” Sandra shouted disdainfully.
Connor knew that since Christopher Leonard and Joshua Qualls had managed to get the news and come here to look for Connor, others would definitely get the news too. Therefore, many people would come to this banquet to look for him.
By then, everyone would know that Joshua was not an actor hired by Connor. However, if Connor explained these things to the Phillips family now, they would definitely not believe him, so he could only leave for the time being.
Under everyone’s gaze, Connor slowly disappeared from the restaurant. His back looked incredibly solitary.
Meanwhile, Qahira, Sandra, Sean, and the others were all smiling happily. To them, Connor deserved everything that had happened to him.
“Connor!”
Freya shouted and immediately broke free from Laura, desperately chasing after Connor.
“Freya, stop right there!” John saw that Freya wanted to leave with Connor and shouted with his eyes wide open.
“Grandfather, I think you must have misunderstood Connor…”
Freya turned her head and explained to John.
“I don’t care if 1 misunderstood him or not. If you dare to leave with this kid today, then don’t return to the Phillips family!” John shouted, his tone rough.
“Grandpa, you don’t want me anymore just because of such a small matter?” Freya shouted at John in disbelief.
“That’s right. As long as you’re still my granddaughter, I’ll never allow you to marry someone like Connor!” John shouted loudly.
Freya stood there and hesitated for two seconds. In the end, she chose to chase after Connor.
“Freya, you…Cough cough…”
John coughed in anger.
He had never expected Freya to be so persistent. He had already said something so drastic, yet Freya still chased after him.
“Brother, what are you doing? Let the young people handle their own matters. Why do you care so much?” Gabriel patted John’s shoulder and persuaded him in a low voice.
“That’s right, John. There are so many outsiders watching here. What do you think this is? Are you still planning to arrange their marriage in this era?” Brooklyn added.
John only realized that there was something wrong with his attitude after hearing their conversation.
Therefore, he quickly calmed himself down and said to the guests present, “Everyone, I’m really sorry. I’ve made a fool of myself just now…”
Brooklyn and Gabriel also quickly stood up and tried to mediate the situation.
Meanwhile, after leaving the restaurant, Connor took out his phone and dialed Titus Jenkins’s number.
“Mr. McDonald, do you have any orders?” Titus answered the call quickly and asked respectfully.
“Titus, let me ask you. How did Christopher Leonard, Joshua Qualls, and the others know that 1 was at the Phillips family estate? And how did they know about my relationship with Freya?” Connor frowned and asked angrily.
“Mr. McDonald, about that…”
Just as Titus was about to explain, Connor suddenly heard the sound of high heels clacking against the ground. He subconsciously turned around and saw Freya following him.
“I’m finished!”
Despair welled up in Connor’s heart because he had spoken quite loudly just now.
If Freya had been standing behind him, she would definitely have heard what Connor had said..
