Chapter 998: A Bolt from The Blue
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because of Connor’s sudden appearance, the atmosphere in the restaurant began to become strange.

Everyone was staring at Connor, whether intentionally or unintentionally. They were not in the mood to eat.

After all, Connor hadn’t come back for so many years. These people didn’t know why he suddenly came back, but they were worried that Connor might have really come for the McDonald Corporation.

The McDonald Corporation was founded by Connor’s father. Logically speaking, Connor was actually the real heir.

However, in order to prevent the McDonald Corporation from being monopolized by Connor, the McDonald family forcefully chased Connor out of the family. Then, they let Maverick take over the McDonald Corporation before handing it over to Huxley.

Basically, everyone in the McDonald family had a tacit understanding of this matter. Each of them had also obtained their own benefits because of this matter.

But in the end, this McDonald Corporation still belonged to Connor!

If Connor were to go through legal means, then everything they had now would vanish into thin air.

This was also why the McDonald family was so nervous when they saw Connor and were so anxious to chase him away.

Because Maverick was present, the others did not dare to say anything and could only look at Huxley.

At this moment, Huxley was a little nervous. After hesitating for two seconds, he turned his head and asked Connor softly, “Connor, did you suddenly come back because you encountered some trouble outside? If you encounter any trouble, just tell me directly. As long as I can help, I will definitely help you…”

“Nephew?”

After Connor heard Huxley’s words, he couldn’t help but sneer. Then, he said indifferently, “Huxley, you don’t have to pretend to be nice to me at this point. You and I both know what you did to me back then. You’re just worried that I’ll come back and snatch the family business from you, so you’re pretending to be a good person with me.”

Huxley looked at Connor with an awkward expression. The other members of the McDonald family were puzzled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Because in their impression, Connor had always had a weak character. However, Connor’s return this time gave people the feeling that he was a different person. The way he spoke and the way he carried himself had completely changed.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Connor’s appearance hadn’t changed at all, these people really wouldn’t have believed that the person sitting in front of them at this moment was the silly kid who was chased out of the McDonald family by them back then.

Maverick was still very calm at this time. He felt that it was normal for Connor’s personality to change after wandering alone for so many years. Moreover, Connor’s relationship with the McDonald family was not very good, so he should be venting the hatred in his heart by saying this.

Harland had a straightforward temper. He couldn’t stand Connor’s sarcasm at all and shouted at Connor with an unhappy expression. “Little brat, what exactly do you want? Don’t beat around the bush with us. Are you short of money or something?”

When Connor heard Harland’s words, he couldn’t help but be stunned. He slowly looked up and asked, “Harland, which one of us is short of money?”

“You… What do you mean by that?”

After Harland heard Connor’s words, he replied with a guilty conscience.

Connor narrowed his eyes with a mocking smile. “Half a year ago, you lost nearly 200 million in the Aomiya casino and owed them more than 100 million in gambling debts. How much money have you paid off?”

At this moment, Connor’s tone was very natural, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter. However, in the eyes of the McDonald family, his words were like a bolt from the blue.

When the McDonald family heard Connor’s words, their mouths instantly dropped, and they turned their heads to look at Harland. It was obvious that they did not know about this.

Harland’s expression changed drastically, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Only his wife knew that he owed 100 million dollars in gambling debt. No one else knew about it at all. Harland really couldn’t understand how Connor knew about this.

However, Harland might not know Connor’s true identity. It was very easy for Connor to investigate the background of the McDonald family.

Connor originally wanted Thomas to help him investigate Maverick, wanting to find some clues about his parents ‘accidental death. However, Connor did not expect Thomas to not find any valuable clues at all, but instead find all the dirt on the McDonald family.

Since the McDonald family was still so rude and mean, he naturally did not give them any face. He had no qualms in exposing Harland’s gambling debt of nearly 100 million dollars.

Harland suddenly stood up and shouted at Connor with an angry expression, “What nonsense are you talking about? Since when did I owe a hundred million dollars in gambling debt?”

At this moment, he seemed to be planning to scare Connor with his aura so that Connor would not continue to spout nonsense.

“The owner of the Grand Luck Casino in Aomiya is called Kendrick Yank. You know better than me whether you owe money or not. Moreover, the interest on this money has already reached 180 million. You can’t repay this money at all, so you chose to transfer 20% of the shares of the McDonald Corporation in your hands to Kendrick,” Connor said calmly.

This time, Harland was completely dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Connor to know that he had already transferred the shares. Harland really couldn’t understand how Connor knew about these things.

Connor took a sip of tea and asked Harland with a smile, “Although the McDonald Corporation is no longer as good as it was a few years ago, it should at least have a market value of 1.5 billion, right? 20% of the shares is nearly 300 million. Isn’t it a little too much of a loss to give it away like this?”

Harland was instantly stunned. He didn’t even know how to answer Connor’s words.

The other members of the McDonald family were also dumbfounded. They looked at Harland as if they were waiting for an explanation from him.

After all, the McDonald Corporation did not belong to just one person, but to the entire McDonald family.

But Harland had directly transferred the shares without anyone’s consent. It was very likely to have a huge impact on the McDonald Corporation.

The individual that would be the most impacted by this decision was probably Harland’s eldest brother, Huxley. After all, once the McDonald Corporation had an outsider as a shareholder, Huxley would lose total control of the corporation.
