Chapter 855: A Conspiracy
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the saying goes, even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs!
However, Connor had never thought that Cade would be so vicious. He would not even let his wife and daughters off!
Sometimes, Connor really couldn’t understand the thoughts of these rich people.
Wasn’t earning money just so their family could live a better life?
However, these so-called rich people sacrificed their daughters’ happiness and their wife’s happiness for their interests. This practice was indeed somewhat incomprehensible.
“Mr. McDonald, my sister and I are just illegitimate daughters. Moreover, we have no status in the Lambert Family at all. There are countless illegitimate children like us, so it’s normal for my father to do this. When we were young, we saw many sisters given to others by our fathers as bits, so we have long been used to this situation…” Yarrow seemed to have read Connor’s mind and explained to him softly.
“Have you two ever thought of resisting?” Connor hesitated before asking.
“Resisting?”
Hearing that, Yarrow shook her head helplessly and said indifferently, “When we were young, an elder sister secretly fell in love with someone else. She didn’t want to follow my father’s arrangements and marry a rich heir from a big family. Later on, she even planned to elope, but my father’s people caught her in less than a month. Her boyfriend was missing. I think my father’s people killed him. Our elder sister was also forced to marry a fool. Ultimately, she seemed to have been tortured into a mental illness. How is she now? I’m not very sure either, so everyone in my family is terrified of my father. No one dares to disobey my father’s wishes…”
“…” After Connor heard Yarrow’s story, the expression on his face became a little strange.
Connor would never have thought that Cade would make such a vicious move.
“Mr. McDonald, we don’t want this to happen, but we have no choice. After all, this is our father’s order…” Yucca bit her lip and whispered to Connor.
Connor took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “How about this? You two give me Cade’s cell phone number. I’ll talk to your father about this personally…”
“No…” Yucca’s face was filled with fear as she hurriedly waved at Connor.
“Why not?” Connor frowned and asked.
“Mr. McDonald, my father doesn’t allow us to tell anyone about this. If you call my father now, he will be very angry…” Yucca looked at Connor and explained.
“How about this? Can’t I help you with your mother’s medical fees? You two can stop pestering me then…” Connor said in a low voice after hesitating.
“Mr. McDonald, can you help us for a lifetime? Moreover, if we leave you, we will also be given to someone else by our father. In the end, our fates will be the same…” Yarrow whispered.
“So you two will continue clinging to me?” A trace of helplessness flashed in Connor’s eyes as he frowned and asked.
“Mr. McDonald, we won’t keep pestering you. As long as you don’t chase us away…” Yarrow whispered.
After hearing Yarrow’s words, Connor hesitated before saying in a low voice,” Well, since you two want to stay by my side, then stay. But let me say this first. You must not tell anyone about my identity and our relationship. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Yes, we understand…”
Yarrow and Yucca hurriedly nodded when they heard Connor’s agreement. A hint of excitement flashed in their eyes.
“All right, I have nothing else to do since you two understand. Remember, don’t reveal my identity. Otherwise, I’ll call your fathers and ask you two to leave.” Connor seemed to be a little worried and added.
“Mr. McDonald, don’t worry. We will not tell anyone about your identity, nor will we tell anyone about our relationship…” Yarrow said very seriously.
Connor sighed softly and then walked toward the classroom.
Connor felt that Yarrow and Yucca had very pitiful lives.
Although the two looked glamorous on the surface, they were just tools in Cade’s hands.
They didn’t even have a chance to choose. Moreover, Connor felt that chasing these two girls away now would be equivalent to pushing them into hell.
That was why Connor was soft-hearted and kept these two girls around.
As for letting them be his lovers, Connor would not consider it at all. Even if these two girls were gorgeous, Connor would not have such thoughts.
***
Yarrow and Yucca had a strange look in their eyes when they saw Connor leave.
“Mr. McDonald seems a little difficult to deal with this time!” Yucca seemed to have changed into a different person. Her obedient and pitiful look disappeared instantly and was replaced by a cunning and smug look.
“So what? Didn’t he agree to keep us around?” Yarrow licked her lips and sneered. She then continued,” As long as Connor keeps us by his side, it means we still have a chance…”
“I originally thought that Connor would chase us away. I didn’t expect he would soften his heart in the end!” Yucca said lightly.
Yarrow took a deep breath and said coldly, “Father said that Connor is not ordinary. It might be a little difficult to deal with him. However, if we can get him to take the bait, we will not have to worry about money for the rest of our lives…”
“Connor is quite a good person. It’s just that his heart is too soft…” Yucca added thoughtfully.
“Connor is just an ordinary person. He’s still very different from those young men in the big families, so it’s normal for him to be soft-hearted sometimes!” Yarrow replied expressionlessly.
“But I suddenly feel like I can’t do this to him!” Yucca sighed,
