Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing that Birdie had agreed so readily, Connor was somewhat shocked.

However, he could tell from Birdie’s reaction that she really valued this project. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed so readily.

“First of all, I need you to help me investigate the cause of my parents’ death!”

Connor thought for a moment and said to Birdie expressionlessly.

“The cause of your parents’ death?”

Birdie looked at Connor’s face with confusion. She didn’t expect Connor to make such a request.

“My father’s name is Dawson McDonald, and my mother’s name is Sharon Lee. When I was in elementary school, the two of them left this world in an accident. At first, I thought that my parents’ deaths were just a coincidence, but later I found out that my parents’ deaths weren’t a coincidence.”

Connor explained in a low voice.

This was the first time Connor had told an outsider about his parents. This memory had always been sealed in Connor’s mind, and he rarely mentioned it to others.

Birdie looked at Connor with a puzzled expression. She frowned and said, “Mr. McDonald, you are now considered the number one person in the four provinces. The connections you have are not something that a nobody like me, the person-in-charge of Rockefeller, can compare to!

“What I don’t understand is, why don’t you investigate this matter yourself?”

Connor slowly raised his head and looked at Birdie after hearing her words.

He could tell from Birdie’s reaction that she did not seem to know about his parents’ death. Otherwise, Birdie must have really outstanding acting skills.

Since things had already reached this stage, there was no need to hide anything.

So, he answered, “Your connections are indeed not as good as mine, but only you can investigate the cause of my parents’ death!”

“Why?”

Birdie looked at Connor and was even more confused.

“Because my father called your father before he died. At that time, your father was the person-in-charge of Rockefeller in Porthampton. Soe, I think that the death of my parents must have something to do with Rockefeller or your father.”

Connor replied.

“I see!”

Birdie’s eyes flashed with a strange look.

She had never thought that her father would be related to the death of Connor’s parents.

“Can this be done?”

Connor asked Birdie expressionlessly.

“Mr. McDonald, aren’t you afraid that my father killed your father and I’ll make up an excuse to brush you off?”

Birdie said slowly.

“You can’t lie to me. I just need to investigate to know if you’re lying to me!”

Connor said confidently.

“…”

Birdie looked at Connor and hesitated for a couple of seconds, then nodded lightly and said, “Alright, since you trust me so much, I’ll help you ask about this matter when I get back…”

“Alright, let’s talk about the second thing!”

Connor said.

Birdie didn’t say anything, quietly waiting for Connor to speak.

“The second matter is actually very simple. I hope you can help me investigate if a woman named Freya Phillips is being controlled by your people!”

Connor said.

“And this person is…”

Birdie did not seem to know who Freya was, and she was somewhat puzzled.

“Freya Phillips is my fiancée. She is studying in the U.S., but I suddenly can’t get hold of her, and I can’t find any news about her. I’m worried that your people from Rockefeller have done something to my fiancée, so I hope you can help me investigate this matter!”

Connor said slowly.

“I can only try my best to help you inquire about this matter, but I can’t guarantee that I can find this person. After all, I’m just the person-in-charge of Porthampton. There are many things that I can’t gain access to!”

Birdie said tactfully.

Connor smiled faintly when he heard Birdie’s words, then said softly, “Miss Schroder, I’m not discussing this with you right now. I need you to find out if Freya was kidnapped by people from Rockefeller. The only answer you can give me is yes or no. I don’t want to hear any uncertain answers!”

“Haha…”

Birdie looked at Connor with a faint smile, then nodded and said, “I understand. Once these two things are done, can you give me the subway project?”

“There’s a third thing!”

Connor said.

When Birdie heard that there was a third thing, she became a little helpless. She secretly felt that Connor was really pushing his luck. He was asking her to do so many things as soon as he opened his mouth.

Birdie didn’t plan to do what Connor wanted. She felt that she just needed to create an answer. Connor probably won’t be able to tell if her answer was true or not.

“What’s the third thing?”

Birdie asked Connor.

“The third thing is, from now on, you have to cooperate with me. No matter if there is any news or movement from Rockefeller, you have to inform me immediately. Or if I need you to do something, you have to cooperate with me immediately!”

Connor said lightly.

Birdie was stunned. Her expression was one of disbelief.

Birdie never thought that Connor would be so bold. Although Connor said that he wanted to cooperate, he actually wanted Birdie to be a spy for Connor.

Birdie couldn’t understand where Connor got the courage to make such a request!

The first two tasks were not too difficult for Birdie, but the third task was obviously impossible for her, because she knew how terrifying Rockefeller was. If she betrayed Rockefeller, her whole family would suffer!

“Mr. McDonald, I can’t do this. I can’t betray Rockefeller!”

Birdie shook her head and said.

“You can do it!”

Connor replied indifferently.

“Mr. McDonald, what makes you say that?”

Birdie was stunned for a moment and asked Connor with a puzzled expression.
