"When did I ever ask for your help?" Connor whispered to Salma as they moved to a distance.
"You never asked me to help," she calmly replied to him.
"Then why did you say those things in front of everyone? Your words could easily make others misunderstand our relationship, don't you realize that?" he said to her with a hint of helplessness.
She took a deep breath and whispered, "Connor, I am willingly offering money to help you now. Do you know how many people want this opportunity but can't get it?"
"I don't need your help right now!" he directly responded to her.
"You..." Salma looked at Connor in speechlessness and then said softly, "Don't you want to acquire Heavens Club?"
"Of course, I want to acquire Heavens Club, but I will do it my own way. The Thompson family can also participate in the competition. As long as the club doesn't end up in the hands of Arthur and the Synder family, that's all I care about," Connor said softly to Salma.
