That's 10,000 gold pounds! With a wave of Mr. Harvey's pen, I don't have to pay it back!
Connor had to admit that even with his willpower and shrewdness, he was still swayed by the temptation of the contract in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that he owned a magic stone mine of immeasurable value, Connor doubted if he would have signed his name on the contract.
Looking at the confident Mr. Harvey with a smile on his face, Conner heaved a long sigh of relief. He placed the contract termination letter worth more than ten thousand gold pounds on the table beside him and said to Mr. Harvey with regret and sincerity, "I don't deserve a reward without any effort. I, Conner Ferguson, have accepted many gifts from uncle's elders. However, ten thousand gold pounds as a gift is truly an eye-opener for me. This gift is too big and too hot to handle! Uncle, please tell me what you want Connor to do! "
Seeing that Connor actually had the guts to reject his "gift" and place it on the table instead of accepting it, Mr. Harvey couldn't help but retract his smile. A faint trace of anger appeared in his eyes, but after hearing Connor's words, the anger in his eyes turned into admiration.
"You didn't lose your rationality even with money in your hands. Connor, you're very good!" Mr. Harvey clapped his hands and praised.
"Uncle, you flatter me. To be honest, Uncle's gift really makes me feel uneasy!" Connor said with a wry smile.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Mr. Harvey said in a low voice, "Connor, you're also from Earl Ferguson's family. You should know that in a family like ours, it's not rare to see family members killing each other for power. I'm the head of the Sanchez family, but I'm also the father of Olsen and George. I heard that when Olsen framed George, George wanted to take revenge on Olsen, but you stopped him. I hope you can still stop George from killing Olsen. He will be the only successor of the Sanchez family, but as a father, I don't want to see my two sons killing each other!"
After quietly listening to Mr. Harvey's words, Connor looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. It was obvious that Mr. Harvey had sensed something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted like this! Could it be that Mr. Harvey had discovered the secret investigation of George and his mother, Mrs. Christine?
To be honest, Connor wasn't surprised by Mr. Harvey's words. After all, George was the only contact between him and Mr. Harvey. Besides, the loan he took from the Sanchez bank could barely be counted as half a loan. However, it was obvious that a big shot in the Loen business world like Mr. Harvey wouldn't come looking for him just for a mortgage loan of around ten thousand pounds. Therefore, it was obvious that Mr. Harvey came looking for him because of George!
Since Mr. Harvey had made it so obvious, it would be inappropriate for Connor to feign ignorance. However, he wasn't sure if Mr. Harvey had sensed that George already knew that he had tested Olsen's talent as a wizard. Therefore, after careful consideration of his words, Connor purposely said vaguely, "Uncle, you've misunderstood. Although George had some complaints about Olsen, he didn't dare to do anything. All he could do was drink with me and complain!"
Connor's explanation obviously didn't satisfy Mr. Harvey. He looked at Connor deeply and said, "If you don't mind, I would like to know what George talked about with you when he went to your apartment last time!"
Although Mr. Harvey's words were polite, there was no doubt that his tone was commanding. However, Connor felt relieved when he heard Mr. Harvey's interrogation. Since Mr. Harvey asked him what George talked about when he came to his apartment last time, it was obvious that Mr. Harvey had realized that George knew something. However, he wasn't sure if George knew that he had gone to Olsen's manor to test Olsen's talent.
If Mr. Harvey realized something and was unsure of something, there would be a lot of room for him to operate in between.
Although Connor knew that Mr. Harvey wouldn't believe his excuse, he still decided to play dumb. He rolled his eyes and said, "There's nothing to be impolite about. Actually, George is just a little worried about whether he can successfully inherit the family. You know that there are too many people eyeing his position now. He's under a lot of pressure. Come out …"
"Stop!" Mr. Harvey reached out his hand to interrupt Connor as he expected. However, what he said next completely shocked Connor. Mr. Harvey pointed at a direction outside the window with his cane and said in a deep voice, "Connor, let's make a deal. If you choose not to tell me, or the answer you give me doesn't satisfy me, there will be a fire in that place on such a quiet and peaceful night …"
Connor looked at the direction Mr. Harvey was pointing at. His eyes turned cold all of a sudden. He didn't need to think at all. He clearly knew that Mr. Harvey was pointing at his apartment! Without a doubt, Mr. Harvey's words were a blatant threat.
Seeing the change in Connor's eyes, Mr. Harvey said expressionlessly, "But if you tell me and satisfy me, not only will your apartment be fine, but you can also save ten thousand pounds on the loan. Connor, you're a smart man. You have to understand the pros and cons of all this. Ten thousand pounds is a sum that the Ferguson family doesn't have in a year. Now, it's in your hands. Connor, you have three minutes to think about it!"
As soon as Mr. Harvey finished his words, Connor sensed that there were at least four people staring at him. Three of them were grand knights, while the last one had an unfathomable air. Even with Connor's current strength, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. The four of them didn't try to hide their gazes at Connor. Obviously, they were warning Connor not to do anything crazy and desperate.
Although Connor was infuriated by the threat, he forced himself to calm down when he sensed the four people staring at him.
