Chapter 490: Candace’s Wish

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tony Colt was originally just a small civil servant and did not have much power in Rockford.

However, for some reason, Tony had risen to the top in the past few years and became the deputy director of Rockford’s Industry and Commerce Bureau.

Moreover, he had recently been transferred to the industrial and commercial bureau of Porthampton, and his position was still the deputy director.

However, there was still a huge gap between the status of the deputy chief of Rockford and the deputy chief of Porthampton.

After all, Porthampton was a new first-tier city. It was far more developed than Rockford, a third-tier city. Tony naturally had more power.

Tony had never liked Connor, so when he saw Connor come in, he only nodded his head slightly in acknowledgement.

“Connor, hurry up and sit on the sofa. Sadie, go get Connor a glass of water. I’ll go to the kitchen and heat up the dishes. We can eat in a while!”

After Candace entered, she began to make arrangements. Sadie looked at Connor and asked, “Connor, what do you want to drink?”

“Anything is fine!” Connor replied indifferently.

“Alright then!” Sadie replied softly, then turned around and walked into the kitchen to pour Connor a glass of juice.

Tony turned his head and glanced at Connor. He smiled and said to Connor, “Connor, are you used to living alone in Porthampton now?”

“I’m quite used to it!” Connor replied indifferently.

“In the future, your Aunt Candace and I will also live in Porthampton. If you encounter anything, you can come to my house to look for me at any time!”

Tony looked at Connor and continued.

“Alright!”

Connor nodded lightly, but he knew in his heart that Tony’s words were just some polite words. If something really happened to Connor, Candace might help, but Tony would definitely not help.

Tony looked at Connor and asked, “By the way, Connor, how are your grades?”

“My academic performance is not bad, but I usually need to go out to work to earn money, so I don’t have much time to study!” Connor replied.

Tony turned to look at Sadie and said with a smile, “You should learn more from Connor. Connor is already working part-time while in school. Look at you, you only know how to spend money!”

“Aiya, I know!”

Sadie replied impatiently. In her heart, she was still very disdainful of work-study programs. After all, who would be willing to work if they came from a wealthy family?

Tony turned his head and glanced at Connor, then said lightly, “Connor, your uncle is still very supportive of you, but you have to remember that studies are the most important at all times, so you must not fall behind in them. You must study hard. If I didn’t study back then, how could I have gotten to where I am today?”

Connor could tell that Tony was only bragging.

However, Tony might not know that Connor could not focus on his studies now.

Studying was very important to ordinary people, but it was nothing to Connor. After all, he had inherited ten trillion dollars of assets. There was no need for him to look for a job through his studies, so he simply replied to Tony with a word of gratitude.

After Tony saw Connor’s attitude, he was still very disappointed in him.

Previously, Candace had also told Tony that she wanted to matchmake Connor and Sadie.

Tony felt that if Connor knew how to improve himself, this matter could actually be considered. After all, the Colt family’s conditions were already very good. They did not care about money at all. When the time came, they would just treat Connor as a son-in-law.

However, from his interaction with Connor just now, Tony felt that Connor was obviously a person who was willing to degenerate. How could Tony marry his daughter to someone like Connor?

“It seems that I’ll have to have a good chat with Sadie. This Connor is not worthy of Sadie at all. The two of them probably won’t have a good ending!”

Tony couldn’t help but sigh softly in his heart. Then, he turned his head and looked at Sadie’s seat. He felt that if he was familiar with Sadie’s tastes in men, she wouldn’t take a fancy to Connor at all.

“What are you guys talking about here?”

At this moment, Candace came out of the kitchen with food and asked Connor and Tony with a smile.

“I didn’t talk about anything. I was just casually chatting with Connor!” Tony replied with a smile. Then, he patted Connor’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Alright, Connor, let’s go eat!”

“Alright.”

Connor nodded and followed Tony into the dining room.

During the meal, Tony and Candace also inquired about Connor’s recent situation. However, they only talked about some irrelevant topics, so the meal was tasteless.

After dinner, Connor took the initiative to help clean up the table.

Meanwhile, Tony and Sadie were sitting on the sofa and watching TV. They had no intention of helping at all.

Candace didn’t mind. With Connor’s help, she cleaned up the table and whispered to Connor, “Connor, come over here!”

After saying that, Candace turned around and walked into the bedroom.

Connor looked at Candace’s back and hesitated for a moment before following her in.

After entering the bedroom, Candace looked at Connor and said seriously, “Connor, 1 know that you haven’t been doing very well these past few years. I’ve been trying to contact you these past few years, but 1 haven’t been able to find your contact information.”

“Aunt Candace, actually, I…” Connor opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Candace.

“I know that you’re very independent, but sometimes you can’t bear everything on your own, right?” After Candace said this, she took out a bank card from her pocket and handed it to Connor. Then she whispered, “Connor, this is for you. There’s 500,000 dollars in it. I don’t have any other intentions. I just hope that you can live a better life!”

“Aunt Candace, what are you doing?” Connor said helplessly.

One had to know that 500,000 dollars wasn’t much to Connor at all. However, to Candace, 500,000 dollars was not a small sum of money. She was definitely not rich enough to ignore 500,000 dollars.

“Connor, quickly accept it. This is a little token of my appreciation!”

Candace directly stuffed the bank card into Connor’s hand..
