Chapter 72


    Just now, as he came out of the restroom, he saw Jennifer chatting with someone. He vaguely felt


    the man talking to Jennifer bone a striking resemnce to Connor Stonnell, yet he dared not


    confirm it.


    After all, how could Connor possibly make an appearance here?


    Curious, he approached, only to find, to his astonishment, that it indeed was Connor. He heard


    Jennifer’s disrespectful remarks to Connor and was nearly scared out of his wils.


    “Er, Mr. Connor, this youngdy is unaware of your identity. That’s why she spoke to you this way.


    Please, don’t take it to heart.” He bowed and scraped, humbly apologizing


    Jennifer was utterly bbergasted, failing toprehend why Devin was being so polite to a


    seemingly poord.


    A bad premonition suddenly struck her. Could it be that this poord was someone of significant


    importance?


    Mr. Connor?


    In all of Cedarvale, the only person worthy of being addressed as Mr. Connor was.


    Jennifer’s gaze sharply turned toward Connor, a chill running down her spine. She couldn’t help


    but find her own thoughts ridiculously far–fetched


    How could this be possible.


    Connor remained silent, merely lowering his gaze to adjust his cuffs.


    A cold aura spread.


    Devin, drenched in cold sweat, was clueless about what Connor might be thinking. He hurriedly


    signaled Jennifer to apologize.


    “Devin, are you saying he, he is Connor, the CEO of Stonnell International?”


    Jennifer’s heart was about to leap out of her throat, yet she still found it hard to believe, grudgingly


    asking Devin.


    Once Devin nodded, panic and a deeper sense of envy engulfed her.


    The CEO of Stonnell International, the man held in divine regard, the most prestigious man in


    Cedarvale, was actually Flora’s fiancé


    Why did it have to be her?


    “Mr. Connor, we truly didn’t know you were here. We apologize for anyck of hospitality”


    Connor remained silent, and Devin had no choice but to speak up again. “Mr. Christopher is


    backstage. He has always wanted to meet you. Perhaps


    “That won’t be necessary.” Connor finally spoke.


    His voice flowed slowly, like the most perfect note drawn from a cello at night. Yet, at this moment, it


    made Devin and Jennifer shiver in fear


    “Tell Christopher, before doing business, he should first learn how to raise his daughter. Otherwise,


    I don’t mind teaching him personally


    Devin turned pale with fear. He hadn’t heard what Jennifer and Connor had discussed upon his


    arrival, but Jennifer must have said. something tembly offensive to anger Connor so


    “Mc. Connor, I’m sorry. It wasn’t intentional. I thought you were…”


    Jennifer, pale with fear, nearly bit her tongue. She knew she had caused a huge problem and was


    terrified


    If her father found out she had offended Connor, he would kill her!


    But it wasn’t her fault, was it? Who would have thought that the CEO of Stonnell International would


    come to such a ce dressed like


    “Please, have mercy, just this once”


    Jennifer’s voice was mixed with a sob. She was on the verge of tears.

    A girl in distress, looking so pitiful, could move anyone. Yet, Connor didn’t spare her a nce.


    “Tell Christopher I give him two days to make the Haines family leave Cedarvale. I don’t want to see


    a single of them in Cedarvale.”


    Connor was not willing to turn a blind eye to this matter.


    Devin’s face turned ashen. He knew Connor always meant what he said.


    The Haines family was done for!
