At this moment, the woman who called Connor was called Candace Steadman, a very good friend of Connor's mother.
When Candace and Connor's mother were young, they were already close to each other. But later, Connor's parents got into a car accident, and Connor became an orphan.
After Candace found out about this, she specially went to visit Connor and even took the initiative to adopt him.
However, Connor did not want to be adopted because he knew that Candace had her own family—Candace's husband was still working in the government and could not earn much money, and the two of them had children. If they adopted Connor, the pressure would be very great.
Moreover, Candace's husband didn't agree to this matter, so Connor didn't go to Rockford where Candace was, instead coming to Porthampton by himself.
Candace had also secretly transferred money to Connor a few times, but because Candace's husband found out, she did not continue to help Connor.
