Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Are you saying that my father intentionally approached you, pretending to be your second son, in order to conceal his identity, and then established the McDonald Corporatio to further conceal his identity?”

Connor narrowed his eyes and asked Maverick in a low voice.

“That’s right. Everything your father did was actually to conceal his identity!”

Maverick nodded slightly.

“Then why did my father tell you all these things?”

Connor hesitated for a moment and looked at Maverick, pressing for an answer.

“Your father told me these things because he said he might get a promotion opportunity. The people at Rockefeller have decided to promote him from being in charge of Dexasto being in charge of Orilon. Your father seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity, so he wanted to discuss with me about taking the McDonald family and leaving Dexas for Newtown in Orilon…”

Maverick spoke slowly.

“Newton?”

Connor’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I know that our McDonald family has everything we have now thanks to your father’s efforts. Once we leave your father, we will have nothing. So I can only choose to agree!”

Hetook a deep breath and continued, “And your father also told me that this promotion might not go smoothly because there are many people at Rockefeller eyeing his position. He is likely to face danger!”

Connor was well aware of Rockefeller now. From what Birdie had mentioned, he could sense that infighting was common among the people within Rockefeller.

There was no room for sentiment in Rockefeller, and everyone relied on their abilities. As long as you could create value for Rockefeller, the people above wouldn’t care about the means you used.

So he felt that his father must have realized that other competitors were preparing to take action against him, which was why he took the initiative to tell Maverick about these things.

“At that time, I didn’t think much about it. But I didn’t expect that two months later, your parents would have a car accident. When I heard about your parents’ accident, I knew it wasn’t an accident. It was likely the work of your father’s competitors…”

Maverick looked at him and continued to speak.

Connor stared at him without saying a word.

“I have already explained the situation between our McDonald family and your father clearly. You should know that without your father, our McDonald family is nothing. So when your father encountered trouble, we could only remain silent. I know that the people we can’t afford to provoke are the same people you can’t afford to provoke…”

After finishing his words, Maverick slowly walked up to Connor, bowed deeply, and said in a low voice, “Connor, I have always felt guilty about your father’s death, but please forgive my selfishness. I really can’t risk the lives of everyone in the McDonald family for the sake of avenging your father…”

“Then why didn’t you tell me all this earlier?” he asked Maverick with some confusion.

Even if it were our McDonald family, there was nothing we could do about it. I told you all this, but what could you do? You were just a child at that time…”

Maverick replied in a low voice, then continued, “The reason I have the courage to tell you all this now is because I believe you are capable of facing your parents’ situation. If you weren’t capable of dealing with these things, I wouldn’t have told you…”

“Why did you kick me out of the McDonald family back then?”

Connor asked Maverick, pursuing an answer.

Maverick hesitated for a moment upon hearing his words, then spoke in a low voice, “The reason I kicked you out of the McDonald family had two factors.”

Connor looked at Maverick without saying a word.

“The first reason is that your father had instructed me beforehand that if anything happened to him, I could choose not to avenge him, but I must protect you.”

“At that time, I was worried that the person who killed your father might trace his identity back to our McDonald family and come after you. So I decided to kick you out of the family, hoping that it would make it difficult for them to find you.”

“I haven’t contacted you all these years because I was afraid they would find you.”

Maverick earnestly explained to Connor.

“I see…”

It was only now that Connor realized he had misunderstood Maverick all these years.

“Indeed, my judgment was correct. Shortly after you left Dexas, everyone in our McDonald family was being monitored. They must have been trying to find clues about you. Though Rockefeller is terrifying, finding you amidst the vast population wouldn’t have been an easy task, especially since their attention was focused on Dexas, while you had already gone to Porthampton…”

Maverick looked at Connor with a helpless smile and continued, “Although it was cruel to drive you away from the McDonald family back then, in the end, you managed to survive…”

Connor couldn’t help but sigh, then he continued to ask Maverick, “You mentioned earlier that there were two reasons why you kicked me out of the McDonald family. What is the other reason?”

“The other reason is that I was worried you would bring trouble to our McDonald family and that you might take control of the McDonald Corporation’s assets. I know the personalities of Huxley and Harland very well. I even feared that they might harm you. So at that time, I could only choose to let you leave the McDonald family. It was the best option…”

Maverick explained slowly as he looked at Connor.

Having listened to his words, Connor finally understood what had happened back then.

At this moment, his resentment towards the McDonald family seemed to have diminished a lot. Although the actions of the McDonald family were extremely selfish, considering there was no blood relation between them and Connor, it was somewhat understandable for them to act in their own self-interest.

Moreover, he finally understood why Maverick’s attitude towards him had changed so drastically.

Maverick’s actions back then not only protected the interests of the McDonald family but also ensured his safety. It could be considered the best choice. He no longer had any intention to blame Maverick further.
