Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere

Chapter 1014: A Battle of Words
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yalini and Jennifer had not seen each other for a long time. Therefore, when the two of them met again, it was inevitable that they would be at loggerheads.

Connor turned to look at Jennifer. He knew that Jennifer had called him over not just to get rid of the harassment of her pursuers—she must’ve also been worried that people like Yalini would mock her. After all, girls were vain.

Connor was not overly disgusted by Jennifer’s thoughts because he knew that Jennifer did not have any ill intentions.

Yalini chatted briefly with Jennifer before bringing her boyfriend into the private room.

After seeing Yalini leave, Jennifer let go of Connor’s hand and said with a pout, “This Yalini is really annoying. She likes to compare herself with me in literally every aspect. If it wasn’t for my friend, I wouldn’t have bothered to attend such a gathering…”

“You get used to it…” Connor said calmly.

“Get used to it?”

When Jennifer heard Connor’s words, she could not help but be stunned for a moment. The expression on her face was obviously a little puzzled.

Connor did not explain much to Jennifer. She might not know that he might have experienced more things than her, so he was already used to such a situation. He didn’t care about what others said.

Now, the scheming between ordinary people was really too ridiculous in Connor’s eyes. If he had the time to fight such unimportant battles, he might as well use that time to improve himself.

“Let’s go in, too!”

Jennifer said softly when she saw that he did not say anything.

“Alright…”

Connor nodded and followed Jennifer to the private room.

At this moment, there were already many people in the private room, and most of them were famous rich heirs in Dexas.

Jennifer’s family was very well-off, so the worst friends around Jennifer were corporate executives. Ordinary people had no way of integrating into this circle.

When everyone saw Jennifer enter, they surrounded her.

However, Yalini was very dissatisfied when she saw this scene because Jennifer had been more popular than her since she was young. She really could not understand why those people liked to curry favor with Jennifer so much.

“Long time no see, Lady Goodwin. You’re really getting more and more beautiful…”

“Yeah, Lady Goodwin, you said you’ve been back for a while, right? Why didn’t they contact us?”

“The great Lady Goodwin might have forgotten about us a long time ago, right?”

Everyone surrounded Jennifer.

“How could I forget about you? I haven’t been back in Oprana for long and haven’t adapted to it yet, so I haven’t had time to contact you.”

Jennifer hurriedly explained with a smile.

At this moment, a girl called out, “Why would the great Lady Goodwin have the time to contact you? She should be busy dating, right?”

“Lady Goodwin, you have a boyfriend?”

Many of the rich heirs present had a crush on Jennifer, so when they heard this, their expressions instantly changed and they all turned their attention to Connor.

However, what puzzled everyone was that Connor, who was standing beside her, wasn’t particularly good-looking. Moreover, he did not look like a rich person from his clothes. At most, he was an ordinary handsome man.

They really could not understand how Connor could get Jennifer’s favor.

“Jennifer, is this your friend? Why didn’t you introduce him to everyone?”

At this moment, a tall boy walked up to Jennifer and asked her in a low voice.

Jennifer turned to look at Connor and whispered to him, “This person’s name is Walton Morales. He’s the son of the deputy mayor of Dexas. His family has some power…”

“Oh, okay!”noveldrama

Connor nodded slightly. He did not say anything; after all, the son of a deputy mayor was nothing to Connor.

“Mr. Morales, this is my friend Connor!” Jennifer introduced.

“Friend?”

When Walton heard this, he couldn’t help but smile and ask softly, “Are you just friends? Or boyfriend and girlfriend?”

“We’re just ordinary friends…” Jennifer hurriedly replied and continued, “Connor and I have known each other since we were very young…”

Walton sized up Connor and asked him provocatively. “What are you doing now, Mr. McDonald?”

“I’m still studying at Porthampton University!” Connor lightly replied.

Not far away, when Yalini heard the word “Porthampton,” a strange expression flashed across her face again. She subconsciously bit her lip.

“He’s still a student!”

Walton laughed disdainfully and continued, “You don’t look young anymore. If you can’t find a job after graduation, you can ask Jennifer to contact me. I know a few friends in Porthampton, so I can help you find a better job when the time comes…”

Although Walton said this very casually, everyone could feel that Walton was obviously humiliating Connor.

Jennifer’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a strange look. After all, she had personally seen Connor break Holden Marcus’s legs that day. Walton was nothing when compared to Holden, let alone Connor.

She was worried that Connor might get angry. If he did, then things might be troublesome.

“Sure, I’ll contact you after I graduate!”

However, Jennifer did not expect Connor to not be angry at all. Instead, he replied very calmly.

Connor simply wasn’t in the mood to argue with someone like Walton. As long as Walton didn’t go too far or push Connor past his limit, Connor wouldn’t argue with him.

Jennifer subconsciously turned her head to look at Connor with a very surprised expression.

She did not expect Connor to be so easy to talk to. At this moment, Connor was like a different person from the Connor at the Marcus family’s wedding banquet.

On the other hand, Walton was speechless. He felt that Connor in front of him didn’t seem to understand his words and had taken his mockery seriously.

At this moment, Walton gave up on mocking Connor. In his eyes, Connor was not worth mocking.
