Finn Lewisâs slightly awkward attitude seemed to Cypress Davis to be nothing more than the result of bragging gone wrong, so he scoffed and continued, âYou surely donât need my daughter to bail you out sometimes, do you?âRread latest chapters at novelhall.com
âIn this regard, itâs true. When we go out to eat, she is usually the one who pays,â Finn shrugged, âAnd oftentimes, Iâm just scrounging for a meal.â This was malicious on Finnâs part, although itâs not exactly false. For example, if he said that he gave the Moon of West Lake restaurant to Kay Lee, then he did give it to her. Hence if Finn goes there to eat, it naturally counts as scrounging.
âI initially thought you are decent, but now it seems, you might not be as great as I thought.â Cypress Davis jeered at Finn.
âUncle, you might be mistaken. In a relationship, money isnât the most important factor. Of course, the money required to ensure a good standard of living is necessary. As for my companyâs worth, while itâs not much, itâs currently valued at over a billion. And as the elder said, Iâm still young. May I ask, when you were my age, did your company have a net worth of over a billion?â Finn said with a smile.
Over a billion? Cypress Davis was taken aback. In his eyes, if Finnâs company was worth a few millions, it would already be an accomplishment. Over a billion? This figure had significantly exceeded his expectations.
âYouâre not just bragging, are you?â Cypress Davis said in disbelief.
âYou can ask Kay about it. Though Kay doesnât get along well with you, she is a person who doesnât lie,â Finn chuckled.
âMom, if he really cared about me, he wouldnât have abandoned us all those years ago. I grew up without a father, is that him caring for me?â Kay Lee fired back, her face turning sour.
âAlright, alright, letâs not talk about this anymore,â Amelia Lee quickly interjected, patting Kay Leeâs hand. Finn wanted to say something but did not get a chance to interrupt. In terms of this relationship, he felt somewhat powerless. No matter how capable he was, he couldnât solve these issues, which were knots in Kay Leeâs heart that not just anyone could untie.
Normally Kay Lee would never dare to contradict Amelia Lee. However, when the topic of Cypress Davis was brought up, she would become an angry little tiger, not sparing anyone. It seemed like Cypress Davis had really left a deep impression in Kay Leeâs heart. However, whether this impression could be improved in her lifetime was still an unknown.
The elderâs old comrades soon left; it seemed like they still held some public office and hadnât completely retired. As for whether this was true or not, Finn didnât ask. At such an age, they should have retired. Amelia Lee and the others didnât have a chance to ask either, so naturally, Finn, as an outsider, didnât have the chance to do so. But the atmosphere was really strange; the elderâs children formed one circle, and Kay Lee, Amelia Lee, and Finn comprised another.
If it werenât for the elderâs enormous care and attention toward Amelia Lee and her daughter, the other members of the Davis Clan would probably not even bother to smile. However, their current behavior was deemed acceptable; even when the elder was not present, they didnât converse much, but when they met, theyâd still offer a smile. Just that, behind closed doors, their conversations were less than friendly.
The elder, obviously, was not aware of this atmosphere. Being so old, he didnât have the time to pay attention to so many things. Besides, everyone seemed to have come to an understanding and wouldnât act this way in front of the elder.
âItâs really embarrassing you had to see that,â Amelia Lee said with a bitter smile.
âAuntie, youâre taking it too seriously. Every family has its own complications. I can understand,â Finn said sincerely.
âHmm, if it werenât for the elder, Kay and I would probably have died on the streets. So, I must repay this favor. Iâm an orphan, and the elder regarded me as a daughter. So I see him as a father. Even if Cypress Davis wronged me, I canât do the same to the elder. I hope you can understand this,â Amelia Lee said, confiding in Finn. This was the first time Finn found out that Amelia Lee was actually an orphan. But because of this, Finn genuinely admired Amelia Lee.
