"Alright!" Seeing that Mr. Desilio seemed to have the intention of helping him, Connor, who intended to keep a low profile, smiled wryly in his heart. However, he still put on a cheerful expression on his face.
Just as he was about to follow the attendant to meet Mr. Desilio, Connor suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he had recalled something. He turned to George and said indifferently, "Oh right, George, I have a bet. Young Master Holdin, please help me carry these ten thousand gold pounds!"
After saying that, Connor smiled and bowed to the surrounding people who were clamoring to be witnesses for Holdin. He also said gratefully, "Thank you very much for being witnesses for the bet between me and Young Master Holdin …"
Connor's actions made Holdin, who had just recovered from his stupefied state, turn green with anger. It was as if countless slaps had landed on his face. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something ruthless to maintain his image, but no sound came out. However, how could Connor let go of such an important person?
After thanking the group of "warm-hearted witnesses", Connor looked at Holdin with a faint smile and said politely, "Thank you very much, Young Master Holdin. These ten thousand gold pounds will help me pay off the loan I owe to the Sanchez Bank for the apartment I bought. Young Master Holdin, you're exactly as the rumors say. You're very good at helping others!"
Connor's mockery made Holdin's originally very handsome face turn the color of pig liver. He looked at Connor with resentment and finally said, "Connor Ferguson, I'll remember you!"
Hearing Holdin say such a sentence after such a long time, Connor couldn't help but laugh. He smiled and shook his head, then ignored Holdin and turned to follow the attendant sent by Desilio to find Desilio.
"Young Master Holdin, there are so many witnesses! How do you intend to pay the ten thousand gold pounds you lost in the bet? "After Connor turned to leave, George hurriedly stopped him, as if he was afraid that Holdin would slip away.
Seeing George coming to collect the debt, Holdin's eyes were about to overflow with anger. He raised his hand and fiercely slapped him.
Slap!
Seeing Holdin's slap, everyone was surprised that he was flustered and exasperated to hit George. However, what made everyone extremely astonished was that George was completely fine under Holdin's slap. Instead, it was Sophia in Holdin's arms who let out a miserable cry. She had heavy makeup and a thick layer of powder on her face, and a bright big handprint of Holdin's was clearly imprinted on it!
"You filthy bitch, slut …" Holdin, who couldn't do anything to Connor and George, could only vent all his anger on Sophia.... In his eyes, it was all Sophia who caused him to lose both his money and his person.
..
… ….
For the current Connor, he didn't care about Holdin's embarrassing situation at all. All his attention was on the white-haired middle-aged man in front of him, who was leaning on a heavy cane and had a straight back.
"Connor, you and George are good friends. Do you mind if I call you Connor?" George's father, Mr. Harvey Sanchez, the head of the Sanchez Family, looked at Connor with a smile and said slowly, "Don't worry, Mr. Sanchez.
After being invited by Desilio, Connor's uncle seemed to be very fond of the gifts that Connor gave him. He even introduced several big shots in the Loen business world to Connor. Although he didn't think much of it, Connor still pretended to be flattered on the surface and was very polite in front of these big shots. After doing all this, just as Connor was about to find an excuse to leave, an unexpected person came to him. And this person was Mr. Harvey, who was standing in front of Connor.
"George may act like a spoiled brat, but he's not a bad person. As his father, I'm very happy for him to have a good friend like you, Connor!" Mr. Harvey said calmly as he looked at the night sky outside the glass window, "Don't worry.
From the moment Mr. Harvey found him to the moment he said these words, Connor's mind had been racing. Although Mr. Harvey's tone was very calm, Connor knew very well that with Mr. Harvey's status, he definitely didn't mean what he said on the surface. After thinking quickly in his heart, Connor bowed slightly to Mr. Harvey and said, "Uncle, you flatter me. I've learned a lot from George. It's my honor to be friends with him!"
In the face of an old man like Mr. Harvey who had been in the business world for his entire life, Connor felt that it was best to deal with all changes by playing the fool!
Mr. Harvey was an old fox in the business world. How could he not hear Connor's polite words? Even if he was feigning civility, he wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and a servant beside him immediately handed him a document respectfully.
"If I remember correctly, this is the first time I'm meeting you, Connor. As an elder, I should give you a greeting gift!" Mr. Harvey said as he handed the document to Connor.
Seeing that Mr. Harvey was going to give him a greeting gift, Connor was stunned for a moment. After a slight hesitation, he took the document from Mr. Harvey. After quickly flipping through it, Connor's expression changed again and again. He was amazed by Mr. Harvey's generosity!
The document Mr. Harvey gave him was a termination agreement. It was the agreement between Connor and the Sanchez Bank for the apartment he bought. The agreement was a five-year contract, and Connor had to pay the Sanchez Bank a total of twelve thousand pounds with interest. However, Connor had sold some of his alchemy gadgets at the Men's Club and earned seventeen hundred pounds. After that, he used another three hundred gold coins to make a total of two thousand pounds to pay off part of the loan. In other words, Connor still owed Sanchez ten thousand pounds.
The termination agreement in Connor's hand had Mr. Harvey Sanchez's name and the Sanchez Bank's stamp clearly written on it. As long as Connor signed his name on the termination agreement, it would take effect and be protected by the laws of the Kahman Empire. In other words, Connor didn't have to pay back the remaining ten thousand pounds that he owed Sanchez Bank for the apartment.
