Chapter 996: I’m Not Here for Money!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the entrance of the villa.
Connor stood alone outside the villa, took a deep breath, and then walked up to the door.
Connor’s grandfather, Maverick McDonald, had three sons and two daughters. Connor’s father passed away a few years ago, and Connor’s grandmother had passed away a long time ago due to illness.
Therefore, only Connor’s eldest uncle, third uncle, and eldest aunt and second aunt were left by Maverick’s side. These people were all working in the McDonald Corporation now. Maverick had retired for a long time, so the position of the Chairman of the McDonald Corporation fell into the hands of Connor’s eldest uncle, Huxley.
Basically, the McDonald Corporation was under the control of Huxley alone. Connor’s third uncle, Huxley McDonald, was a typical hedonistic son. He did nothing serious except eating, drinking, and having fun every day. As long as he could get money from the McDonald family, he didn’t care who became the Chairman of the company.
Therefore, Connor’s relationship with Huxley was the worst. Back then, Huxley’s son, Bradley, was also the person who liked to bully Connor the most. This was also the reason why Connor had slapped Bradley in the hotel yesterday.
Connor walked to the door of the villa. After hesitating for a while, he reached out and gently pressed the doorbell.
“Ding dong…”
The doorbell rang.
“Who is it?”
A nanny shouted from inside the villa.
Connor stood outside the door and remained silent.
The housekeeper quickly ran to the door and opened it.
However, when the nanny saw Connor, her expression was a little puzzled. Then, she frowned and asked Connor, “May I ask who you are?”
“I am the master of this house!” Connor replied. Then, ignoring the nanny, he directly pushed open the door and walked into the villa.
The nanny saw Connor suddenly barge into the villa and hurriedly shouted, “What’s wrong with you? What are you trying to do? I didn’t let you in!”
Connor ignored the nanny and looked around the villa. He realized that after so many years, the living room had changed. Everything was new.
The nanny tugged at Connor’s clothes and shouted excitedly, “Who exactly are you? Hurry up and get out! Do you know what place this is?”
“Wilma, what happened?”
However, at this moment, a beautiful young woman in white spaghetti strap pajamas walked out of the dining room after hearing the nanny’s shout. She seemed to be a little annoyed.
When this woman saw Connor, the bowl and chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground. She was stunned on the spot, an incredulous expression on her face.
Connor looked at the beautiful woman and said, “Long time no see!”
The beautiful woman who appeared in front of Connor was none other than Connor’s aunt, Regina McDonald.
Regina should be in her early thirties this year, but she seemed to have never gotten married, so she had been living in the McDonald family’s villa.
“…Connor, why are you back?”
Regina looked at Connor, her expression shocked as she stuttered.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Do you have to be so afraid? Don’t worry, I didn’t come back for the McDonald family’s stinking money!”
Connor replied to Regina indifferently, then directly walked towards the restaurant.
Today was Sunday. According to the rules of the McDonald family, all the members of the McDonald family had to have breakfast in the old mansion of the McDonald family, regardless of gender or age.
Therefore, all the members of the McDonald family were here today, including Harland and his family members. However, Huxley and his family members were nowhere to be seen.
Connor knew that Bradley should still be in the hospital, which was why he wasn’t here.
After seeing Connor, those people of the McDonald family had the same expression as Regina. Everyone was dumbfounded. They sat in the same place and looked at Connor’s seat. No one expected Connor to come back.
“Connor, who let you in?”
Connor’s third uncle, Harland, was the first to react. He stood up and shouted at Connor with widened eyes.
“Can’t I go back to my home?”
Connor replied indifferently.
“Your home?”
Connor’s eldest aunt, Rita, could not help but sneer. Then, she said with an extremely disdainful expression, “Connor, I haven’t seen you for a few years. You actually dare to say that this is your home? You were chased out by our McDonald family so long ago. How dare you still have the face to come back?”
“That’s right. Connor, did you come back because you couldn’t survive outside?”
Harland’s wife shouted sharply and then continued, “If you really can’t continue to mix, I still have some money here. You can take it and spend it first. No matter what, we’re still relatives!”
After saying this, Harland’s wife took out a stack of cash from her wallet and threw it on the ground.
Connor looked at the cash on the ground and couldn’t help but sneer. It seemed that after so many years, these people of the McDonald family were still the same as before. There was no change at all.
Back then, Connor was forced to leave the McDonald family because he could not withstand the ridicule of these people.
However, when Connor heard their mockery again, he no longer had that feeling from before. To put it bluntly, their words could no longer hurt Connor.
“Connor, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take the money and get lost. Don’t let me see you again!” Harland shouted at Connor in frustration.
“I’m not here for money!” Connor calmly replied to Harland.
“Not here for money?”
After Harland heard Connor’s words, he couldn’t help but be stunned. Then he laughed disdainfully and teased, “That’s true. I heard that you often deliver food at school to make a living. You shouldn’t be short of money now. Then what are you doing back here this time?”
“Where is Maverick McDonald?”
Connor asked.
Harland’s expression suddenly changed. He swung his right hand and threw the chopsticks in his hand at Connor.
Connor easily dodged the flying chopsticks and stood quietly on the spot.
“Is Maverick McDonald a name you can say? He’s your grandfather. Do you have any manners? How dare you call your grandfather by his name…”
Harland scolded Connor with an angry expression.
“My grandfather?”
Connor sneered and said, “Do you think he’s worthy of my respect?”
