Chapter 526: Chapter 520: Attend a Wedding

When Finn returned to Celeston City, he did not immediately call his misguided fellows. Although he did not make any calls, he was nonetheless moved— he knew their silence was out of consideration for him. Fishy had made it clear—many people were getting close to them solely to get to Finn. During their time in college, Finn and the rest of them were very close, like brothers.

Those who couldn’t establish contact, or couldn’t ingratiate themselves with Finn, had taken an underhanded approach. Yet these guys didn’t initiate contact with Finn to prevent such people from succeeding.

If we’re talking about common people, they would have flocked to Finn a long time ago. At this age, there are quite a few people who would call Finn just to impress others. There’s no shortage of such people—Finn has received many such calls, mostly from classmates he was not very close to but who somehow had his number.

Initially, Finn would pick up those calls. But later, he stopped answering. It wasn’t because he was uncaring. If one asked for help or even sought investment for a startup citing their shared school days, Finn would not ignore their request. But those who call for no reason other than trivial talk, and for some ridiculous reasons, left Finn speechless.

He straight out deleted his less-friendly contacts. Ironically, these were not the ones who kept up steady contact with him. But Mr. Humphrey was about to get married, and Finn couldn’t ignore that, so once he got home, he had Olivia investigate the woman that Mr. Humphrey was going to marry—Fishy had said it wasn’t a trifling matter.

“Sir, we have all the information,” said Olivia. It took Olivia less than two hours to find everything Finn needed.

“Let me see.” Finn immediately asked. Olivia quickly transferred all the information to his phone. As soon as he opened the files on his phone, he saw what Olivia’s research had gathered. After reading it, a smirk flashed across his face.

Indeed there are some people in this world whose cleverness is misused. As it turns out, this woman’s relationship with Mr. Humphrey wasn’t good at all. According to Olivia’s research, this woman and her family had revealed their true colors as soon as they found out that Mr. Humphrey had lost touch with Finn, and that his relationship with Finn wasn’t as tight as they had imagined.

The woman had had a repair surgery. There were indeed some extreme cases out there. After some thought, Finn decided to prepare in advance. At any cost, he would not let Mr. Humphrey marry this woman. She was pregnant and planning to marry Mr. Humphrey—she was probably thinking of something else entirely. Mr. Humphrey’s family was no match for hers. They were not super-wealthy, but they did have assets worth tens of millions.

It looked like she was planning to marry into Mr. Humphrey’s family and fob off the child on him as a cheapskate father. Finn wouldn’t have been any wiser had he not known, but now that he knows, things are not as straightforward as they seem.

Once he clarified everything, Finn asked his elder brother to print out all the information. Then he called Daniel Pan outright. Daniel picked up the call quickly, but before he could say anything, Finn simply said, “Don’t talk, just listen. Can you talk now?”

“Yes, I can, Mr. Finn. We’re on vacation!” Daniel replied, sounding a bit annoyed.

“Oh, right, I had forgotten about it. I haven’t been to school in so long. Anyway, I’ve received the news about Mr. Humphrey’s wedding. There’s a problem with the woman he is going to marry—the investigation is still ongoing,” Finn responded straightforwardly.

“What’s the problem? Bro, don’t scare me,” Daniel replied, sounding a bit stunned, before rapidly responding.

“Why would I scare you? Contact Peak Blair, and while you’re at it, ask Chubby Callum to come over; let’s meet,” Finn replied.

“We’ve planned to assemble in Celeston City the day after tomorrow. In that case, I will fly over tomorrow. I don’t know whether I’ll be able to contact that jerk Prince, but I should be able to reach Chubby,” Daniel replied swiftly.

Although Mr. Humphrey’s wedding was scheduled for next month, it was already the end of this month. Saying next month meant it was just a fortnight away. The fact that Daniel and his squad were coming over this early might be to lend a hand; after all, Mr. Humphrey’s family was not from Celeston City. Now that he was getting married, Mr. Humphrey’s family would have to play hosts.
