Chapter 1042: Rachel Wallace’s Interrogation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Rachel heard Connor’s words, the expression on her face seemed to be even more unbelievable.

She couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Connor, sometimes, I really don’t understand what you want to do.”

Connor was stunned for a moment, then asked, “What?”

“You’re so rich now. It’s not too much to say that you’re the richest man in the world, but why do you have to waste your time at Porthampton University? Don’t you know that your real opponent is Rockefeller? They’re the only ones that can take away your wealth now. Why don’t you spend all your time dealing with them instead?”

Rachel shouted at Connor helplessly.

“Haha…”

After Connor heard Rachel’s words, he could not help but chuckle. Then, he said indifferently, “You’re finally willing to tell the truth now, right? You actually want to use me to deal with Rockefeller, right? You’ve always treated me as a tool to deal with them…”

“That’s right, that’s what I think!”

But what Connor did not expect was that Rachel actually did not deny this matter in the slightest, but instead nodded and admitted it.

“Why should I be used by you?” Connor shouted angrily.

“Because Rockfeller is your greatest enemy. If you want to truly inherit Steven Lee’s inheritance, then you must get rid of Rockfeller. Otherwise, no matter how rich you are, you will have to live your life in fear. Your friends and future wife will be threatened by Rockfeller. You’re free to disregard yourself, but you can’t disregard the safety of the people around you!”

Rachel continued, “You have a grudge against Rockefeller, and I have a grudge against Rockefeller, so I can use you to deal with Rockefeller!”

“…”

Connor was stunned by Rachel’s theory because he felt that what she said seemed to make sense. It was destined for him to deal with Rockefeller. Rachel might want to use Connor, but from a certain point of view, it wasn’t a big problem.

It was just that when Rachel personally said it like this, Connor still felt somewhat uncomfortable. Who liked being used by someone else?

Connor took a deep breath and asked Rachel in a low voice, “Why do you want to deal with Rockefeller?”

“That’s my own business. I told you about what happened between me and Rockefeller before. I can’t tell you the details now, but when the time is right, I will tell you!” Rachel replied.

“Then why did you come to Newtown?” Connor asked.

“I went to Porthampton University to get close to you, and now I’m here in Newtown to get close to you. I have to know your every move!” Rachel slowly said.

Connor looked at Rachel in front of him, and his eye twitched. He said in a low voice, “Hey, uh…Ms. Wallace? What did I do to offend you? Why do you have to pester me like this?”

“I’m not pestering you. I’ll be of great help to you if I stay by your side!”

At this moment, Rachel’s expression seemed to have calmed down quite a bit as she smiled faintly at Connor.

“Even if you were in Newtown, I would never follow your plan to deal with Rockefeller. I have something I want to do now, and I will follow my plan step by step!” Connor said with a frown.

“Do you want to finish university now?”

Rachel sneered at Connor. In fact, she couldn’t understand why Connor had to complete his university education.

“That’s right!”

Connor nodded and continued, “I admit that what you said before was right. The money in my hands is indeed enough for me to live for ten lifetimes, but this money is actually not mine at all. It’s just temporarily placed in my hands. Also, everything I have now is the same. Rockefeller and the Lee Family will do everything they can to take these things from me…”

“Once I lose everything in the future, I’ll have to go back to my previous life. At that time, I’ll have nothing. If I give up on my studies, what will I use to survive?”

Rachel looked at Connor in front of her with an expression of shock. She didn’t expect him to have such thoughts.

“I’m different from you rich kids. My money fell from the sky, and I don’t know when it will disappear. You all have backers, but I have nothing. I’ve lived the lowest life in this society, so I don’t want to live like before!”

Connor took a deep breath and continued, “My plan is simple: I won’t give up everything I have now, but I don’t want to change the life that should have belonged to me because of all this. At the very least, when I lose everything, I can still survive in this society.”

“But from the moment you inherited Steven Lee’s inheritance, there’s no turning back. Once you lose these things, the Lee family and Rockefeller will definitely not let you off!”

Rachel said in a low voice.

“They have no intention of letting me go even now, but I’m still alive, aren’t I?” Connor said calmly.

Rachel looked at Connor in front of her, but did not know how to persuade him otherwise.

She took a deep breath and whispered, “Alright, since you want to finish your studies so much, I can respect your choice. I won’t interfere with your matters in the future, but I don’t understand why you chose to come to Newtown. Newtown isn’t within the scope of the four provinces.”

“…”

Connor looked at Rachel in front of him and didn’t speak. He didn’t know if Rachel was trustworthy, so he didn’t want to tell Rachel everything about him.

The longer Connor interacted with Rachel, the more he felt that she was terrifying.

Rachel seemed to see through Connor’s thoughts at a glance and softly said, “Connor, I know you don’t believe me, but don’t forget that I’ve never harmed you even after such a long time. On the contrary, I’ve helped you many times. I don’t have any other meaning in asking you this question.”

After Connor heard Rachel’s words, he could not help but slowly raise his head to look at Rachel. He did not know if he should tell Rachel the truth or not.
