“Mr. McDonald, don’t worry. 1 believe you will be fine!” Thomas smiled and said to Connor.
“No problem, my a*s. You’re just a bystander saying it doesn’t hurt your back!”
Connor was furious when he saw Thomas’ nonchalance. After all, when they signed the contract, Thomas did not ntion that Freya had to want to with him sincerely. He only said that Connor had to marry her.
“Haha…” Thomas smiled awkwardly, then looked at Connor and said, “Mr. McDonald, actually, 1 have sothing very important to tell you this ti…” “What is it?”
Connor saw Thomas’s expression was off, so he hurriedly turned and asked.
Thomas looked at Connor and hesitated, then said softly, “Mr. McDonald, soone is competing with you for the forr chairman’s inheritance!” “Soone is competing with
for the inheritance?”
After hearing Thomas’ words, Connor was suddenly confused. Then, he said, “Didn’t you tell
that I’m the only heir to the forr chairman? Who’s competing with
for the inheritance?”
“Mr. McDonald, I did say that before, but back then, 1 didn’t know that the forr chairman has a distant relative nad Yannick Lee!” Thomas looked at Connor and said slowly.
“Yannick Lee?”
When Connor heard this na, he was stunned. Then, he frowned and asked, “Is the person you’re talking about from Porthampton?”
“No, he’s from the Lee Family in York!”
Thomas looked at Connor, shook his head gently, then continued, “The Lee Family in York is considered a prestigious family there. The forr chairman and the current head of the Lee Family in York, Yordan Lee, were cousins!”
“You an that Yannick Lee is Yordan Lee’s son, and Yordan Lee is my grandfather’s cousin, right?” Connor asked after a simple analysis.
“That’s right!” Thomas nodded lightly.
“Since my grandfather’s cousin has other relatives in this world, why did he let
inherit the inheritance?” Connor asked with a puzzled expression.
“The forr chairman’s cousin, Yordan, might be even more ruthless than a stranger!” Thomas sighed softly, then looked at Connor and said, “There were two heirs to the Lee Family in York. One was Yordan, and the other was the forr chairman. The two of them competed for the position of the heir of the Lee Family. Yordan knew he was no match for the old chairman, so he rcilessly found an assassin to kill him. The old chairman was forced to leave the Lee Family in York and run abroad to set up his own company!”
“What?!”
After hearing Thomas’s words, Connor was shocked. The scheming and infighting in wealthy families was not sothing an ordinary person like Connor could fathom.
“That’s right, but the forr chairman’s glorious life was born thanks to Yordan. When the forr chairman left his hotown, no one expected him to have such great achievents!”
Thomas sighed softly and continued, “It was because Yordan had tried to kill the forr chairman back then that the forr chairman’s heart turned cold. That’s why he left such a will. He wanted Mr. McDonald to inherit the inheritance. He didn’t want to see the wealth that he had worked hard for his entire life fall into the hands of the Lee Family in the end!”
“Haha…” After hearing Thomas’s words, Connor couldn’t help but laugh. Then, he pursed his lips and said, “Yannick and Yordan Lee are really shaless. They chased the forr chairman out of the Lee Family, and now they want to inherit the forr chairman’s inheritance when they see that the forr chairman was rich…”
“It can’t be helped. Yordan and Yannick Lee are both close relatives of the forr chairman. They are qualified to inherit the forr chairman’s inheritance. However, they didn’t expect the forr chairman to leave a will for you to inherit!” Thomas said slowly.
“Since the forr chairman has already left a will, what can Yordan and the others use to compete with ? From a legal point of view, I’m also the true heir. Can they still claim this inheritance?” Connor asked Thomas angrily.
“Mr. McDonald, you are indeed the heir but don’t forget that you haven’t inherited the forr chairman’s inheritance. You are only temporarily inheriting the forr chairman’s inheritance. If you don’t fulfill your marriage with Miss Phillips within the contract’s stipulated ti, you will completely lose the right to inherit!” Thomas reminded him softly.
“The ti stipulated in the contract?” Connor was stunned when he heard Thomas’s words and asked in confusion.
“The contract states that if you don’t get married to Miss Phillips within two years, then you will lose your right of inheritance.”

Connor looked at Thomas and was instantly dumbfounded and speechless.
Thomas said earlier that he had to make Freya marry him willingly. This was already harder than ascending to the heavens.
But now, Connor realized that there was a ti limit!
“In other words, 1 have to make Freya marry
willingly within two years. Only then will the forr chairman’s inheritance belong to , right?” Connor looked at Thomas and asked.
“Yes!” Thomas nodded.
“F*ck, what is this old man trying to do? If you want
to inherit, then so be it. Why do you have to make it seem like you’re trying to learn from the west? If 1 don’t complete the mission, wouldn’t the inheritance fall into the hands of Yannick and the others?” Connor huffed.
“I think this should not be a problem for you. Moreover, I will do my best to help you pursue Miss Phillips!” Thomas smiled and said to Connor.
“You should step aside. What can an old man like you help
with?” Connor scolded Thomas in frustration.
When Jason, sitting in the driver’s seat, heard Connor’s words, his body suddenly trembled. He could not help but sigh internally. ‘Only Mr. McDonald dares to talk to Mr. Morgan like this, right?’
“Hehe…”
Thomas looked at Connor and smiled awkwardly, then continued, “Mr. McDonald, the Lee Family shouldn’t have any plans to make a move on you yet. Their current plan is to wait and see. You will lose the right to inherit if you can’t marry Miss Freya within two years. The Lee Family can sit back and reap the benefits!”
“What if 1 managed to marry Freya?” Connor narrowed his eyes and asked Thomas.
“If you can marry Miss Phillips, they might kill you. Because as long as you die, the forr chairman’s inheritance will go to the Lee Family!”
When Thomas said this, he was very calm, as if he was already used to such things.
H H
Connor looked at Thomas and was stunned. He beca a little frightened.
He didn’t expect the Lee Family to want to kill him, even though Connor had inherited the forr chairman’s inheritance and had turned from an ordinary person to a super-rich heir.
But in the end, Connor was just a poor loser. Now, he was more or less afraid of what Thomas had told him.
“Mr. McDonald, you don’t have to be too nervous. I’ve specially prepared a gift for you to protect your safety!” Thomas smiled and said to Connor.
“Gift? What gift?” Connor looked at Thomas and asked..
