Chapter 64
Connor was already here?
Luna narrowed her eyes. “Look what you two have done!”
She glared at Andrius before she and Athena went out of the office.
Outside the building, Connor was pacing back and forth anxiously, waiting.
When Luna came down, his eyes shone brightly, and he strode over to her.
Athena stepped forward and stopped him.
Connor showed a flattering smile, but before he could say a word, Luna said, “Connor, I know it’s our
fault that my men beat you up, but you’ve already taken the deposit and you’ve been dragging out on
the relocation. That’s why my men were there to nudge you.
“If you are here to take revenge or whatever, just do it. I’m not afraid of you.” Luna knew Connor was
not a proper person, but she could not come out as a weakling.
Connor was startled. He quickly explained, “Ms. Crestfall, you have the wrong idea. I’m not here
because I was beaten up by your men. I signed the contract because my conscience told me I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshouldn’t be doing this. It has nothing to do with me being beaten up! I swear!”
He put his hand up and swore sincerely, which stunned Luna.
What happened to Connor? Had he bumped his head into a wall or something?
The man was known as the biggest prick in Sumeria. Everyone had a hard time dealing with him.
However, not only did he sign the contract, but he even lowered
ZA
himself in front of her and claimed that it was because of his conscience.
Not even a three-year-old would believe his nonsense.
Commor noticed the blank look on Luna’s face, and he took it as a sign of displeasure. He immediately
explained, “Ms. Crestfall, I’ll be honest with you. I’m dragging it out because Solomon Stormbrew of
Castlerock is behind this.
“He forced me to do it and wanted me to accuse New Moon Corporation of forcing me to leave with
violence. He’s going to bring the media here tomorrow.”
His revelation shocked Luna.
Violent coercion and media at their door! Solomon was trying to bring down the entire New Moon
Corporation!
“What did you say? Solomon wants to use it against us?” she asked Connor.
Luna got nervous.
The amount of money involved in the relocation and demolition was large and it had always been the
city government’s priority of
inspection.
There was a major company that was involved with gangs that was made an example out of due to
coercion against the occupants, and the entire company had disappeared from Sumeria.
If New Moon Corporation was involved in rumors like this, even if they could escape alive, their
reputation would be severely damaged.
Luna dared not think about it anymore.
Just when Connor wanted to ask what Luna was going to do, he looked up and coincidentally saw
Andrius behind her. Chills ran down his spine and caused his legs to turn weak as he knelt down before
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuna immediately.
“Ms. Crestfall, I never planned to help Solomon testify. I assure you I will be on your side tomorrow and
will defend New Moon Corporation! Please…forgive me for dragging this matter out for so long.”
Then, he looked up at Luna, or more precisely, at Andrius who was behind her.
Noticing the man’s gaze, Luna turned around and saw Andrius standing there.
Luna was confused.
Connor was acting strange, but she could not pinpoint what it was. He was unlike his usual self and
looked at Andrius with reverence.
“Ms. Crestfall!”
Connor’s anxiety grew as Luna stayed silent. He immediately
continued, “Ms. Crestfall, I didn’t mean to offend you. It’s Solomon, that b*stard forced me to! I will
never dare to be disrespectful to you. I can also offer you another piece of land as compensation!”
He was like a dog by the street begging for food except for the fact that he could speak.
Luna could not figure out what happened, but it was a desired
outcome. Not only did it solve the problem, but she even got to learn of Solomon’s schemes.
She nodded and said, “I can forgive you, but you have to testify for me tomorrow. Understand?”
