Hearing Conor's answer, Casey squirted out the tea he had drunk in his mouth. It was completely different from what he thought.
He originally thought that after Conor heard what he said, he would be very surprised, and would definitely say that he wanted to avenge him a long time ago after calming down.
However, his reaction was so swift, and he rejected Casey directly.
Casey couldn't understand it. Being betrayed by his subordinates was obviously a blood debt. Conor didn't want to take revenge, which made him wonder what Conor thought.
"You don't need to refuse me so quickly. You don't want revenge. Is it because of that woman?" Casey asked.
Conor's eyes widened, and he said, "How do you know!"
Casey laughed blankly and said, "Do I guess right? You are so excited. I didn't expect that you would run into such an out-dated story."
"What out-dated story, what are you talking about?" Conor looked at Casey with a puzzled look. He was surprised just now because Casey knew that he refused to take revenge because of a woman, but he didn't know what Casey meant. What was the out-dated story?
"You refused to take revenge because the person who betrayed you was the woman you loved before. You obviously had the opportunity to fight back, but you gave up because you loved this woman too deeply. Even if she hurt you, you still refused to retaliate against her. Isn't it an out-dated story?" Casey said.
Conor immediately rolled his eyes at him and said, "What you said is really an out-dated story, but it has nothing to do with me. How do you know that there is a woman in my past? I never told you."
"The power you created on you own is now being taken over by a woman. I can know what happened easily. If I am wrong, then why is a woman taking over your power and you still refuse to take revenge?" Casey was confused.
The expression on Conor's face changed drastically, and he said loudly, "What are you talking about! Is a woman taking over my power?"
Casey nodded and asked, "You don't know about this?"
Conor took a deep breath and tried to control his mood. It was the first time that Casey saw him so excited.
"Damn the Foster family, let Betty be their figurehead and they enjoy the comfort behind. How cruel they are. I thought that as long as I gave up, the Foster family would treat Betty kindly. It seems that I am wrong," Conor muttered to himself.
When Casey heard Conor's words, he immediately asked, "What the hell was going on back then? You keep it as a secret, which will only make yourself upset. It's better to tell me. If there is any problem, I will help you solve it."
Conor sighed, then took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "Since you want to hear it, then I will tell you that this matter has indeed been held in my heart for a long time."
After that, Conor told Casey carefully about his original situation. After Casey heard it, he was surprised. He didn't expect Conor to have such an experience.
It turned out that Conor used to be in QY City and was really a pancake seller. He dropped out of school after graduating from high school. Because he didn't know what to do, he learned how to make pancakes from his father.
At that time, Conor thought he would be like this in his life, selling pancakes every day, marrying a wife, and having a child in two years. His life had been clearly arranged.
The trajectory of his life changed on a drizzle afternoon. On that day, he closed his stall that day and was about to go back. When passing an alley, he saw two gangsters grabbing a girl's bag.
He immediately rushed towards the alley and ran after the two gangsters.
Conor grew up with a strong and healthy body, and he was at his most vigorous age. Therefore, he caught up with the two bag grabbers all at once.
When the two saw Conor chasing after him, thinking that they were two, so they stopped to fight Conor.
Conor relied on his strong physical fitness to beat the two people away. Of course, he also got hurt.
Fortunately, in the end he snatched the bag back and gave it back to the girl.
According to Conor, the reason why he would help Edith chase the bag-snatcher was because he remembered what happened back then.
The girl was very grateful to Conor. Seeing that he had been badly battered about the head and face, she felt a little guilty and insisted on applying medicine to Conor.
It was during the application of the medicine that Conor found that the girl was gentle and beautiful, and he was infatuated with this girl.
The girl also had a great affection for Conor. After that day, she often came to Conor to buy pancakes.
In order to let the girls eat delicious pancakes, Conor practiced his skills and finally made his own pancakes the best in QY City.
After some time, Conor confessed to the girl, and the girl agreed. They fell in love and agreed to be together for the rest of their lives.
However, nothing good lasted forever. Not long after, Conor discovered that the girl was a lady from a second-rate family in QY City, named Betty Foster.
The Foster family where Betty was from had some power in QY City, similar to the status of the Patel family in J City.
