Although Titus could guess what Connor meant, Freya, Sean, and the others were dumbfounded.
“Connor, what are you trying to do? How could someone like President Jenkins buy a fake vase?”
Laura was worried that Connor’s actions would make things more complicated, so she went straight to Connor and scolded him
while Mr. Woods was picking up the broken fragments.
Connor turned his head to glance at Laura and replied indifferently. “Aunt Laura, don’t worry. I’ll take responsibility for today’s
matter!”
“Take responsibility, you say?” After Laura heard Connor’s words, she could not help but sneer. Then, she shouted with a
disdainful expression, “Oh,
Connor, who do you think you are? What do you have to take responsibility for? This is a vase worth 20 million dollars. Can you
afford such a thing?”
Before Connor could say anything, Freya was already unhappy. She took a step forward and shouted at Laura.
“Mom, what are you doing? Connor was just trying to help us out of goodwill. Aren’t you going a little too far by saying that?”
“Fei ‘er, get out of my way. If 1 don’t wake this poor boy up from his delusions today, he’ll think he’s too capable!”Laura pushed
Freya to the side.
Sandra also walked to Laura in a fake manner and said softly, “Laura, what are you doing? Wasn’t Connor also trying to help out
of goodwill?”
“Out of goodwill?” Laura couldn’t help but sneer. Then, she rolled her eyes and said, “Tell me, what can he help with? What kind
of sin did our Phillips family do to have such an unlucky son-in-law like him? If it weren’t for him, why would Sean break that
vase?”
Titus stared at Laura with his eyes wide open. He was filled with unspeakable anger.
He wanted to speak up for Connor, but when he saw Connor standing there calmly, he didn’t say anything.
At this moment, Titus was filled with emotions. If Connor really revealed his identity, even the daughter of the richest man in
Oprana might not be worthy of him, much less the Phillips family! Moreover, the Phillips family was only a small family.
Laura obviously didn’t know how lucky she was!
If Connor could take a fancy to Titus’s daughter, Titus would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
There was also another thing that made Titus feel very incredulous: that Connor could actually remain calm in the face of Laura’s
insults. People with calm personalities like that were terrifying. Even Thomas Morgan probably couldn’t do this.
“Connor, when they take out the vase and say that the vase is real, I want to see how you’re going to take responsibility for me!”
Laura seemed to be a little tired of cursing at this point and shouted at Connor.
Connor still looked at her indifferently and did not say anything.
“President Jenkins, I’ve brought out the vase fragments!”
At this moment, Mr. Woods ran out of the restaurant in a hurry and handed a very exquisite gift box to Titus. Even though the
vase had been smashed, the restaurant staff were still keeping it.
Everyone turned to look at Titus. Freya’s face also flashed with a hint of nervousness. She was worried that if this vase was real,
then today’s matter would be a little troublesome.
Titus carefully opened the gift box and took out a fragment. He observed it carefully.
At this moment, the entire restaurant seemed to have fallen into a dead silence. Everyone’s attention was on Titus.
Only Connor remained expressionless. He knew that even if the vase was real, Titus would say it was fake!
A moment later, Titus slowly put down the fragments in his hand.
“President Jenkins, is this vase real?”
Mr. Woods asked Titus nervously.
“Caleb, you’re pretty amazing. The vase in the restaurant was swapped, and you didn’t even know about it,” Titus shouted
angrily at Mr. Woods.
“The...the vase...someone switched it?”
Caleb froze on the spot after hearing what Titus said. His face was filled with shock.
Freya Sean, and the others were also dumbfounded. They looked at Titus in a daze. At this moment, they even began to wonder
if they were dreaming.
Connor looked at Titus’s angry expression and couldn’t help but smile. He secretly thought that Titus’s acting skills were not bad
at all. If he didn’t know about it beforehand, he would have been fooled by Titus.
“This vase is fake. Fake!”
At this moment, Titus shouted at the top of his lungs.
“This... This was impossible! This is a fake..!” Caleb was so scared that he almost fainted on the spot.
Caleb was the restaurant’s lobby manager. If such an expensive vase was replaced, he would have to take full responsibility.
Freya and the others were also dumbfounded. Their mouths were agape as they watched this scene.
How could they have thought that Connor wasn’t spouting nonsense? That the vase in the restaurant turned out to be a fake...
Sean and the others felt like they were on a roller coaster ride—it was like one moment they were in the sky, and the next
moment they were on the ground.
Just now, they had been worrying about the compensation of 20 million dollars, but now they were told that the vase was fake,
and it was admitted by Titus himself. Naturally, they did not have to worry about the money anymore.
Freya stared at Connor with her big, bright eyes, her face filled with shock. She was not curious about how the vase was
switched, but rather how he knew that the vase was fake; after all, Connor had never touched the vase at all.
“I’m really sorry, sir. I was too reckless just now. The vase in our restaurant is indeed fake. The commotion today was a
misunderstanding!”
Titus quickly walked up to Connor, smiling as he said this.
When everyone heard Titus’s words, their faces revealed a shocked expression.
They couldn’t understand why Titus wasn’t angry after knowing that the vase was fake. Instead, he took the initiative to apologize
to a poor loser. What was going on?
Even Freya herself was dumbfounded. At this time, Titus was even more dramatic. He held Connor’s hand and apologized to
him, looking like he was about to suck up to Connor.
Sean, Laura, and the others had also experienced the ups and downs of their lives. They looked at Connor with a dull gaze, not
knowing how to describe their current feelings..
