195 Father and Son

Connor laughed maniacally.

But Holly was shocked by his words and stared at him. in disbelief, “What are you saying? How is that

possible!”

After several thoughts flashed through her mind, she looked at Connor incredulously. “So you mean, you and Isla, you guys are actually…”

Connor’s smile faded from his face. “Yeah, her mom is

my aunt…”

He then lowered his head, covering his face. “Do you

He had just fallen for the girl next door, who was only

two years his senior. So, after getting into college, they couldn’t contain their feelings.

He truly didn’t understand anything.

Then Isla told him that his dad was threatening her, asking her for two million… but where could she find two million? Isla cried miserably, which made him conceive the idea of killing his father!

Connor devised a perfect plan…

He took the money to the abandoned hospital to find Finley, took out his phone, and had Finley record those words, fooling him into thinking that if Keira caused him any harm, he could use those words to threaten

Keira.

Finley wasn’t a good father and had gambled away everything.

But Finley was also a good father.

Connor’s tuition fees were all scammed by him, but Finley at least never let Connor go hungry.

In this world, his only concern was Connor.

After recording, Finley told him, “I have something on Isla. It’s with this that I make her behave. If something really happens to me, you can use that to threaten

her.”

Connor nodded. He wasn’t interested in the leverage on his old flame… he just wanted to help her get rid of
