Chapter 995: The McDonald Family
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the study of the Llyod family.

The atmosphere began to take on a strange tone.

Neither Henson nor Nadine could have imagined that the Sassman family still had such a trump card.

Even Henson, who was always cunning and crafty, appeared helpless in the face of Connor’s influence.

He kept his eyes closed the whole time, with his thoughts unknown.

“Grandfather, why don’t we hire some assassins to get rid of Connor directly? Regardless, this is Dexas, our territory…”

A hint of viciousness flashed in Nadine’s eyes, as she whispered to Henson.

“Have you lost your mind?”

Henson exclaimed with excitement, then continued, “Do you know who Mr. Connor is? Even if you offer a billion, there’s no guarantee anyone would take on this job!”

“And besides, do you think Mr. Connor would go out without bodyguards? I heard that Mr. Connor is extremely skilled. Last time, he single-handedly defeated everyone in the Four Provinces Martial Arts Tournament. It’s harder to kill someone like him than to reach the heavens…”

Nadine looked at Henson in front of her, despairing once again, unsure of what to do.

They had no chance of winning in terms of connections or wealth. Moreover, his skills were so extraordinary that Nadine couldn’t find any way to deal with him.

“You go now and inform the hospital. Hurry up and give Jerrico the medication for recovery!”

Henson suddenly spoke, addressing Nadine.

Poor Hugo probably still had no idea that the people at the hospital had already been bribed by the Llyod family. So now, all the drugs Jerrico was being given were poisonous, keeping him in a coma.

If he had received the best treatment at that time, he might have already woken up.

But the Llyod family was too malicious; they had no intention of letting him wake up. On the contrary, they wanted him to remain in a coma forever.

“Grandfather, isn’t it a bit too late for the medication now?”

Nadine furrowed her brow and said.

“I’ll invite an expert from the US later. We must make sure Jerrico wakes up within a week. Otherwise, our Llyod family is truly finished!”

Henson said in a low voice.

Nadine looked at Henson, not knowing what to say. At this moment, the two of them were truly digging their own graves.

Originally, Jerrico could have already woken up, but the two of them had bribed the hospital to keep Jerrico drugged. Now, it wouldn’t be so easy to wake him up.

“By the way, investigate Connor’s current whereabouts for me. I’ll find an opportunity to personally apologize to Mr. Connor!”

After thinking for a moment, Henson continued speaking to Nadine.

“Connor probably won’t accept our apology now!”

Nadine said in a low voice.

“Connor definitely won’t accept our apology now. I want to apologize to Mr. Connor just to show the attitude of our Llyod family. We can’t take over Sassman family’s assets anymore. The best result is to save our own lives!” Henson’s voice trembled as he spoke.

Nadine looked at Henson with a wretched smile, not knowing what to say.

No one could have anticipated that they would end up in such a situation. After planning so hard, they not only gained nothing, but also risked their lives. It was truly not worth it!

..

The next day, at eight in the morning.

Connor woke up from his sleep and instinctively glanced at his phone, only to find no news about Freya.

He took a deep breath and stretched lazily before walking into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, he changed into new clothes and left the room.

Carlos had been waiting outside his room all night. He sat on a chair by Connor’s door.

“You’re awake, Mr. Connor?” Carlos called out as he saw Connor come out.

“All night without rest, huh?” Connor asked casually.

“I did rest for a few hours…” Carlos scratched his head and answered with a smile.

“I’ll give you the day off today. I’m planning to visit the McDonald family. You don’t have to follow me, just relax in the hotel!” Connor said to him, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“Do you really not need me to come along, Mr. Connor?” Carlos asked softly, concerned about his safety.

“I’m going there to take care of some personal matters. Although I don’t have a good relationship with the McDonald family, they shouldn’t harm me in any way. Don’t worry!” He patted Carlos’s shoulder and smiled.

“Alright then!” Carlos understood, so he didn’t say anything further.

And so, Connor left the hotel alone.

After leaving the hotel, he hailed a taxi and told the driver where he wanted to go.

And that place was somewhere he never wanted to return to in his entire life.

The McDonald family’s villa held too many memories for Connor—some joyful, others painful. It could be said that the happiest and most agonizing days of his life were spent in that villa.

Now, he understood why the McDonald family treated him the way they did back then.

It was out of fear.

After all, all the wealth of the McDonald family had been created by Connor’s father. They believed that if he remained with the family, they would lose everything. So they tried every possible means to drive him out of the McDonald family.

Thinking about what the McDonald family did back then, he found it somewhat laughable. They chose to give up on family ties for a mere sum of money. Did they ever consider that without his father, they would have been an ordinary family in Dexas?

Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the McDonald family’s villa.

The villa had likely been renovated and still appeared very luxurious.

He knew that the current McDonald family was no longer the same as before.

When he left the McDonald family, McDonald Corporation had a market value of over five billion, but in just a few years, the company’s market value had evaporated by 80 percent.

The McDonald family had gone from being a prominent family in Dexas to an obscure and insignificant one.

Of course, all of this had a lot to do with Connor’s father’s death.

He stood alone at the entrance of the villa, recalling the various incidents that had happened before.

Although he didn’t want to face those people from the McDonald family, there were certain things he had to confront sooner or later.
