“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 mention 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 something very important to tell you this time…” “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, someone is competing with you for the former chairman’s inheritance!” “Someone is competing with me for the inheritance?”
After hearing Thomas’ words, Connor was suddenly confused. Then, he said, “Didn’t you tell me that I’m the only heir to the former chairman? Who’s competing with me for the inheritance?”
“Mr. McDonald, I did say that before, but back then, 1 didn’t know that the former chairman has a distant relative named Yannick Lee!” Thomas looked at Connor and said slowly.
“Yannick Lee?”
When Connor heard this name, 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 former chairman and the current head of the Lee Family in York, Yordan Lee, were cousins!”
“You mean 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 me inherit the inheritance?” Connor asked with a puzzled expression.
“The former 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 former 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 mercilessly 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 something an ordinary person like Connor could fathom.
“That’s right, but the former chairman’s glorious life was born thanks to Yordan. When the former chairman left his hometown, no one expected him to have such great achievements!”
Thomas sighed softly and continued, “It was because Yordan had tried to kill the former chairman back then that the former 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 shameless. They chased the former chairman out of the Lee Family, and now they want to inherit the former chairman’s inheritance when they see that the former chairman was rich…”
“It can’t be helped. Yordan and Yannick Lee are both close relatives of the former chairman. They are qualified to inherit the former chairman’s inheritance. However, they didn’t expect the former chairman to leave a will for you to inherit!” Thomas said slowly.
“Since the former chairman has already left a will, what can Yordan and the others use to compete with me? 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 former chairman’s inheritance. You are only temporarily inheriting the former chairman’s inheritance. If you don’t fulfill your marriage with Miss Phillips within the contract’s stipulated time, you will completely lose the right to inherit!” Thomas reminded him softly.
“The time 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 time limit!
“In other words, 1 have to make Freya marry me willingly within two years. Only then will the former chairman’s inheritance belong to me, right?” Connor looked at Thomas and asked.
“Yes!” Thomas nodded.
“F*ck, what is this old man trying to do? If you want me 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 me 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 former 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 became a little frightened.
He didn’t expect the Lee Family to want to kill him, even though Connor had inherited the former 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..
