Chapter 371 - 371:I Still Have My Trump Card
Then, he turned to look at Connor and asked, puzzled, “Mr. McDonald, what did you just say?”
“I said, you don’t have to waste your time to verify this video. 1 was there. 1 can prove that this video is real. Moreover, I said those words myself. They didn’t fake it…” Connor said calmly to Jonas.
Jonas was stunned when he heard Connor’s words. He was indescribably shocked.
He never thought that Connor would actually take the initiative to admit this.
Thomas was on the verge of collapse. He whispered to Connor, “Mr. McDonald, why did you admit it?”
“Why can’t I admit it? This video is real, so I don’t have to lie to you!” Connor replied indifferently.
“But…” Thomas looked at Connor speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
“Mr. McDonald, even if you admit it now, we still have to verify this video. After all, we can’t be sure if you were forced to say these words!”
As the head of Steven’s legal team, Jonas adhered to the principle of fairness and justice no matter what he did.
Therefore, he could not tolerate any deviation from this. All the results had to be based on evidence.
Therefore, Jonas wouldn’t jump to conclusions because of what Connor said.
Jonas picked up the hard disk and told Connor, Thomas, Yannick, and the others, “Our legal team needs to verify the authenticity of this video, so we’ll have to trouble everyone to wait a moment!”
“It’s okay. Take your time. 1 have plenty of time now!”
After hearing Jonas’s words, Yannick said smugly as he led his subordinates out of the conference room.
Thomas hesitated, then whispered to Connor, “Mr. McDonald, let’s go out too!”
“Alright…” Connor nodded, then got up and followed Thomas out of the conference room.
After leaving the conference room, Connor found Yannick sitting on the boss’ chair in the office as if everything belonged to him from now on.
“Mr. McDonald, please come with me. I have something to tell you!” Thomas suddenly spoke to Connor.
Connor was stunned when he heard this. He didn’t say anything and followed Thomas out of the office.
“Mr. McDonald, are you planning to give up on inheriting the inheritance now?”
After leaving the office, Thomas asked Connor with a solemn expression.
Connor looked at Thomas with a helpless smile and said, “It’s already come to this. What’s the point of telling me this?”
“Of course, it’s important!”
Thomas said agitatedly and continued, “Mr. McDonald, you’re still the heir of the former chairman. You still have the qualifications to inherit the inheritance, but if you give up on yourself, there’s really no hope at all…”
“Even if 1 don’t want to give up, so what? It’s written in the contract that before Freya becomes my wife, I can’t expose my identity in front of her. But now that I’ve exposed my identity and Yannick has the evidence, what can 1 do even if I don’t want to give up?” Connor asked Thomas, frustrated.
“Mr. McDonald, I can understand how you feel now…” Thomas replied softly.
“Tell me if you can understand my feelings. I’ve already noticed Yannick’s trap, but I had no choice but to expose my identity to save Freya. The only thing 1 don’t understand is, since Steven wanted me to inherit his inheritance, why did he make so many useless conditions? Tell me, what is the meaning of these rules he left behind?” Connor shouted.
“The former chairman just wanted to see you with Ms. Phillips. He had no other intentions but didn’t expect Yannick to take advantage of him…” Thomas explained helplessly.

After Connor heard this, he turned to look at Thomas and said expressionlessly, “Forget it. Since things have already come to this, it’s useless for you to tell me so much. At most, I won’t want that inheritance. Anyway, I’ve already thought it through. I can still live well without money…”
“Mr. McDonald, things are not as bad as you think. Although your identity was exposed, you did it yesterday to save Ms. Phillips. I will explain the matter to Mr. Lozano later. Mr. Lozano and the others can give you a chance!” Thomas looked at Connor and said.
“Are you sure?” Connor was stunned for a moment and asked.
“We can only give it a try. Mr. McDonald, you’ve already prepared for the worst, haven’t you? If Mr. Lozano and the others still think you violated the will, then we won’t lose anything, right? We can only try our best now, so Mr. McDonald, you can’t give up now. If you give up on yourself, no matter how hard I try, it’s a waste of time!” Thomas told Connor emotionally.
“What’s the use of working hard?” Connor sighed helplessly. In fact, when Yannick showed the video, Connor already knew that he had no chance.
Thomas scanned Connor from head to toe and whispered to Connor, “Mr. McDonald, to tell you the truth, I still have a trump card in my hand. If it comes to a critical moment later, this trump card will have an unexpected effect, so you really can’t give up!”
“You still have a trump card? Who are you kidding? What trump cards do you have now?” Connor looked at Thomas and asked disdainfully.
“Mr. McDonald, why would 1 lie to you? Why am 1 telling you these things here if I don’t have a trump card? Shouldn’t I go and please Yannick and the others now?”
Connor looked at Thomas before him and hesitated because he felt that what Thomas said made sense.
So he couldn’t help but ask Thomas, “What trump card do you have?”
