Chapter 697 Owen Is Not the Mastermind

On the way home, Connor was distracted.

He knew Owen wouldn't let it go.

Out of fear, Connor didn't even dare to turn on his phone and had it on silent.

When he got home, Tom was cooking. Seeing Connor return, he called out, "Why are you back so late? Are you going to eat? If not, I'll eat by myself."

Connor was stunned for a moment and looked up at Tom. "I'll eat."

Tom had a bandage on his forehead and an injured leg, but he seemed quite happy.

Connor thought Tom would at least have some post-traumatic stress, but it seemed like psychological issues were immune to Tom.

He almost got killed today, yet he was still happily cooking.

Connor couldn't understand people like Tom; in fact, he was more envious of him.

"Are you just going to stand there and wait to eat? Come here to help me?" Tom suddenly asked, with a hint of nervousness, seeing Connor about to check his phone. Connor put down his phone and actually obediently went over to help.

Tom breathed a sigh of relief and kept Connor busy with chores.

Today, Connor was exceptionally obedient, doing whatever Tom said.

Tom was a bit surprised. Was it because he saved him, and now Connor was repaying the favor?

Connor didn't complain about Tom today; he tolerated everything.

After cooking, the two of them ate.

"What's with that look? Was today's negotiation unsuccessful?" Tom asked.

With Tom around, Connor didn't feel as lonely in the house.

"It was successful. Your Jasmine won't be pressured by Owen anymore, and the Douglas Group is temporarily safe," Connor said flatly.

Tom looked terrified. "Don't say such things, especially in front of Ethan. Don't say anything reckless."
