The next day, 9 AM.
Connor was woken up by his phone.
"Hello?"
Connor answered the phone in a daze.
"Hello, Mr. McDonald!"
An unfamiliar woman's voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Who are you?"
Connor did not know the person on the other end of the phone, so he was a little more clear-headed.
"Mr. McDonald, you don't need to know who I am. There's soone who wants to et you now."
The woman on the other end of the phone said very calmly.
"Soone wants to et ?"
Connor was obviously stunned after hearing the woman's words. Then, he frowned and said, "Who exactly are you? Who wants to et ?"
"Mr. McDonald, who is the person you want to see the most right now?"
The woman said lightly.
"You're working for Yaakov Ward?"
Connor asked in surprise.
"..."
After hearing Connor's words, the woman on the other end of the phone did not answer if she was working for Yaakov. Instead, she fell into silence.
"If you don't tell who you are, I won't et you!"
Connor said in a low voice.
"Mr. McDonald, I'm just a ssenger. I'm not very clear about the specific situation. I don't know who wants to see you. My task is to tell you about it. If you don't want to et the person, it's fine."
The woman said calmly.
"..."
Connor hesitated for a couple of seconds after hearing the woman's words. He felt that Yaakov had always been very cautious. Even if Yaakov wanted to et him, he would never contact Connor personally. Moreover, he would not tell this woman his identity.
"When will we et? Where should we et?"
Connor asked in a low voice.
"Tonight, at eight o'clock, there will be a car picking you up at the central garden of Newtown. You can communicate with the driver then. You can only go alone. If you bring soone else with you, you won't be able to see the person you want to see!"
The woman said softly.
"Alright, I got it!"
Connor replied indifferently.
The woman hung up the phone after hearing Connor's words.
After putting down his phone, Connor sat on the bed alone with a conflicted expression on his face.
After all, Connor didn't know who the other party was, and he didn't know what their purpose was.
Connor considered for a long ti whether he should call Thomas Morgan, but even if he called Thomas now, he wouldn't be able to co over imdiately from Porthampton, and he couldn't help much, so Connor finally gave up the idea.
Although it would be very dangerous for Connor to go alone, he was not willing to give up this opportunity.
Connor stayed at ho for an entire day. After all, there were indeed a lot of things that happened a while ago. Connor did not have the chance to rest well at all.
At 7 pm, Connor left the house alone and hailed a taxi to the central garden of Newtown.
The central garden of Newtown was considered a landmark in Newtown. It occupied a very large area, and the scenery inside was very beautiful.
At night, many people would go there for a stroll, including many young n and won who ca out for dates.
Connor had been in Newtown for a long ti. He had naturally heard of this place, but he had never been here before.
After arriving at the central garden, Connor stood at the entrance of the park and waited quietly.
Because Connor ca out earlier, it was only around 7:30 pm. There was still half an hour left before they were supposed to et.
Connor waited while observing the crowd coming and going.
In fact, sotis Connor was very envious of these ordinary people. Although they were not as rich as him, they did not have Connor's troubles.
After Connor inherited Steven Lee's inheritance, although it greatly improved his life, it also brought a lot of trouble to him.
Sotis, money was not everything in this world.
There were many things that money couldn't solve.
Money might be very important to ordinary people, but to people like Connor, it is just a number.
Connor waited quietly at the entrance of the central garden. Ti passed by.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Connor took out his phone and looked at the ti. He realized that it was already eight o'clock in the evening, but the other party still had not appeared.
"Am I being played?"
Connor was sowhat puzzled. At this mont, he was thinking whether he should leave this place first.
Because Connor felt that sothing was off. If the other party was not Yaakov's n, but the Collier family's n, then he might be in a perilous situation.
Just as Connor was hesitating, a black rcedes-Benz slowly stopped beside him.
Connor looked at the rcedes-Benz, but he didn't move.
The window of the rcedes-Benz slowly rolled down. A middle-aged man sized up Connor and then asked softly, "You're waiting for soone, right?"
"Who are you?"
Connor asked the driver cautiously.
"I'm here to pick you up!"
The driver replied calmly.
"Who asked you to co and pick up?"
Connor looked at the driver and continued to ask.
"Well…"
The driver looked a little awkward, as if he was unwilling to answer Connor's question.
"If you don't tell who asked you to pick up, I won't leave with you!"
Connor whispered to the driver.
The driver hesitated for a mont before saying softly, "I'm working for Mr. Ward. Mr. Ward asked to co and pick you up!"
"Yaakov Ward?"
Connor was a little excited when he heard the driver's words.
"That's right!"
The driver didn't hide anything and nodded.
"Where is Yaakov now?"
Connor looked at the driver and asked.
"You'll know where Mr. Ward is waiting for you later. My task is to send you to Mr. Ward!"
The driver looked at Connor and said.
Connor sized up the driver and didn't say anything. Although Connor didn't know what trick Yaakov was playing, he knew that this was the best chance for him to et Yaakov. If he didn't et Yaakov now, it wouldn't be easy to find him in the future.
"Mr. McDonald, please get in the car!"
Seeing that Connor was quiet, he invited him to get into the car.
