Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After listening to the scar-faced kidnapper’s words, Connor could analyze that Nicole’s kidnapping had nothing to do with him.
This was because the person who had made a move on Nicole was Ms. Schroder. Moreover, the other party’s purpose in moving on Nicole was not to threaten Connor but to get the Porthampton subway line 9 project.
Therefore, after Connor heard the news, he was relieved.
As long as this had nothing to do with him, the guilt in his heart would be much less.
Connor was most worried that Nicole would be involved in his matters now.
After the scar-faced kidnapper left, Nicole was still sitting on the bed. She seemed very nervous.
Connor hesitated before walking to Nicole’s side. Then, he asked Nicole softly, “Nicole, do you already know who did this to you?”
“…”
Nicole turned to look at Connor and said expressionlessly, “Cooper Group is preparing to participate in the bidding for Porthampton’s subway line 9. Now, only the Labelle family, the Campbell family, and the Qualls family are competing with me. Since they want us to give up on this project, the other party must be from one of these three families…”
“Didn’t the kidnapper say that someone called Ms. Schroder attacked you?” Connor was puzzled.
None of the three families Nicole had mentioned had the surname, Schroder!
“…”
After Nicole heard Connor’s question, she smiled helplessly and said lightly, “I’ve heard of Ms. Schroder, but it’s far from enough only to know her now…”
“Who is this, Ms. Schroder?” Connor frowned and asked.
At this moment, Connor was also very curious about Ms. Schroder.
“I don’t know who this Ms. Schroder is either, but she controls many industries in Davenport. This person’s background is so strong that ordinary people can’t compete with her. Ms. Schroder’s identity is also very mysterious. Other than the core figures of the big families, no one knows who Ms. Schroder is or what she looks like…” Nicole looked at Connor and said slowly.
“Is there such a person?” Connor wondered aloud with a frown.
“That’s right. I think Ms. Schroder must have taken control of one of the Labelle, Campbell, and Qualls families. Then, she made a move on me for the sake of the subway line 9 project. However, I can’t deal with anyone whether it’s Ms. Schroder or any of the three families. Ms. Schroder is too powerful, and her identity is very mysterious. The remaining three families are similar to our Cooper family. I can’t deal with them without sufficient evidence!” Nicole continued.
Connor suddenly frowned as if he had thought of something. He asked Nicole softly, “Nicole, do you know Ms. Schroder’s full name?”
“Ms. Schroder’s full name?” Nicole was surprised before softly saying, “I think I heard my grandfather say that Ms. Schroder’s full name is Birdie Schroder. Her father is Warren Schroder. However, Warren has stopped showing his face in public in recent years. All the business matters are managed by Birdie….”
“…”
When Connor heard Nicole’s answer, he was instantly dumbfounded. He looked at Nicole in a daze and disbelief.
Earlier, Connor had felt that the name ‘Ms. Schroder’ sounded familiar, but he didn’t take it to heart.
However, what Nicole said next made Connor feel that something was wrong.
Connor inexplicably felt that Ms. Schroder’s style of doing things seemed very similar to the Rockefeller that Thomas had mentioned.
This was because the people of Rockefeller would never come out to do any business. They did not have any businesses in their hands. What they did was control the so-called prominent families and make them help them earn money.
This way, they could ensure that Rockefeller’s business empire would not fall!
When Connor heard the names ‘Birdie’ and ‘Warren’, he suddenly realized that this so-called Ms. Schroder was the person in charge of Davenport’s Rockefeller.
Connor was very familiar with the names Birdie and Warren because he knew his father’s last phone call before his death was to Warren Schroder.
Therefore, Connor felt that the person who killed his father must have some relationship with Rockefeller and Warren.
Connor had been secretly asking Thomas to investigate Birdie and Warren, but these two people were too protective of their identities. They could not find any information at all.
Thinking of these things, Connor could not help but laugh bitterly.
Connor was secretly glad that the people who kidnapped Nicole had nothing to do with Rockefeller.
However, he never expected that the mastermind behind these people was Rockefeller’s people!
Of course, this should be considered great news for Connor.
After all, he had finally found some clues about Birdie!
Connor felt that if he could seize this opportunity, he might be able to find out the cause of his parents’ death!
Seeing that Connor did not speak, she was curious. So, she asked Connor, puzzled, “Connor, do you know Birdie?”
“No. How could I possibly know such a person…” Connor shook his head without thinking.
“That’s true. Even I don’t know Birdie. How can a student like you know such a person…” Nicole nodded gently.
“…”
Connor hesitated, then asked, “Nicole, what’s going on with this subway project you were talking about just now? Why are there so many big families competing for this project?”
“This subway project is the subway line 9 project that Porthampton is planning. This subway line runs through all the prosperous areas of Porthampton. Once it is completed, you can get the management rights of this subway line. The profits are still huge, so basically, as long as there are companies with some influence, they are very interested in this project…” Nicole explained.
“I see!” Connor nodded.
“These big families in Porthampton have invested a lot of money and resources for this subway project. If they don’t get this subway project, it will be a huge loss to them. That is why, they are using such despicable methods to deal with me…” Nicole added.
