“Priscilla, quickly tell me that phone number. I’ll get someone to locate it!”
Connor shouted excitedly.
“Before I called you, I already tried getting someone to locate it, but that number has been switched off. I couldn’t locate it at all!” Priscilla said helplessly.
“Is that so…”
Connor’s originally excited expression instantly dimmed. He thought that he could find Freya through this number, but at this moment, Connor’s plan fell through.
“Connor, I’m calling you to tell you that Freya is definitely still alive and should have returned to the country, so I think you should let your people focus on looking for Freya within the country!” Priscilla said softly.
“Priscilla, I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll get my people to focus on the country. If there’s any news, I’ll call you!”
Connor said helplessly.
“Alright!” Priscilla simply replied and then continued, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first!”
“Yes!”
Connor nodded lightly and hung up the phone. After hanging up, he lay on the bed again and closed his eyes to rest.
Initially, Connor thought that he could find Freya through this phone call, so he was in a good mood. However, all his plans had failed, and Connor did not know what to do for a moment.
Freya’s whereabouts were unknown, his parents’ deaths were still confusing, and the matter of the Sassman family was now on Connor’s shoulders. For a moment, Connor felt like he couldn’t breathe with all these troubles.
After an unknown amount of time, Connor finally fell asleep with these questions still in his mind.
..
The next day, at six o’clock in the morning.
Connor woke up and waited for Thomas’s reply.
After all, today was Wynona’s wedding day, so Connor wanted to find out what had happened at the Sassman family’s side before deciding if he should attend Wynona’s wedding.
“Ding!”
After waiting for almost half an hour, Connor finally received a call from Thomas.
“Mr. McDonald, I’ve almost finished investigating the Sassman family.” Thomas got straight to the point.
“What exactly happened?” Connor hurriedly asked.
“Mr. McDonald, the Sassman family is now the hotel tycoon of Dexas. 80% of the hotel businesses in Dexas have been monopolized by the Sassman family. Your friend, Jerrico, should have been the future heir of the Sassman family, but some time ago, Jerrico married a woman named Nadine Marcus, and the person who tried to murder Jerrico is very likely to be her!” Thomas reported.
“Jerrico’s wife wants to murder Jerrico?”
A trace of shock flashed across Connor’s eyes.
“That’s right. According to the information I have, Nadine’s family has always wanted to annex the Sassman family’s hotels, but the Sassman family refused. In the end, the Marcus family used a honey trap on Jerrico in the form of Nadine. She seduced Jerrico, whom then ignored Hugo Sassman’s opposition to the marriage and registered his marriage with Nadine!” Thomas explained patiently.
“Then why would she want to killJerrico?”
Connor still wanted to understand what was going on.
“If Jerrico dies, then the Sassman family’s business will fall into the hands of the Sassman family’s daughter-in-law, Nadine. In this way, the Marcus family can annex the Sassman family’s hotels without spending a single cent!”
Thomas paused for a moment and then continued, “According to my understanding, the Marcus family has some weight behind the name, so the Sassman family can’t beat the Marcus family at all!”
Connor frowned. “What exactly does the Marcus family do?”
“The Marcus family seems to have started from the black market business, but they have been involved in the real estate business for the past few years, so they can be considered to have cleared their name. However, in the end, the Marcus family is not a proper businessman. Their style of doing things is definitely more than a little dirty!” Thomas said slowly.
“Doesn’t the Sassman family still have a daughter? The Sassman family could let their daughter take over these businesses!”
Connor said with a frown.
“The daughter of the Sassman family is going to marry Nadine’s cousin. In this case, no matter who inherits the Sassman family’s business, these things will fall into the hands of the Marcus family!”
Thomas paused for a moment and then continued, “According to the information I received, after Jerrico’s accident, Nadine directly threatened Hugo to marry his daughter to his cousin, Kenny Marcus, or Wynona would end up like Jerrico. In order to protect his daughter, Hugo could only marry Wynona to Kenny, but…”
“But what?” Connor hurriedly asked.
“But this Kenny is mentally handicapped and is also slightly mentally ill!”
Thomas said slowly.
After hearing Thomas’s words, Connor instantly fell silent.
At this moment, Connor had already figured out what exactly happened to the Sassman family.
In order to deal with the Sassman family, the Marcus family did not hesitate to let Nadine seduce Jerrico. After the two of them got married, Nadine would kill Jerrico and force Wynona to marry her cousin.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
In this case, Hugo would have no one to inherit the family property. He could only watch as the family property fell into the hands of the Marcus family.
Of course, Hugo could also choose to let an outsider inherit the property, or directly donate all of his hotels to a third party.
However, Wynona was still in the hands of the Marcus family. Hugo could not disobey the Marcus family for his daughter.
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Connor couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. This woman named Nadine was really as vicious as a snake. She could even be so merciless as to try killing her own husband!
Of course, Connor was not in the mood to care about these things. After all, Jerrico was already like this, and he could not change anything.
However, Connor couldn’t accept that Nadine wanted Wynona to marry someone like her cousin. He couldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
Connor knew that today was the wedding day of Wynona and Kenny. He hurriedly said to the phone, “Thomas, Wynona might be holding a wedding today. Help me find the hotel where they’re holding their wedding now!”
“Alright!” Thomas agreed and hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, Connor received a text message from Thomas. It was the location of the hotel where Wynona’s wedding was held.
After Connor saw the message, he changed into a new set of clothes and rushed to the hotel with Carlos.
No matter what, Connor would not watch Wynona get married like this.
