"Well, Mom, I'll talk to Finn and let you know when everything's clear." Maura Shawn rubbed her eyebrows and said helplessly. Leah Lin was clinging abjectly to life.
"Alright, I'll go out first." Leah knew that Finn Chen wouldn't say anything if she continued to pester there endlessly.
Maura possibly could ask something from Finn.
After Leah left, Maura hesitantly asked: "Is it someone from Chen's Family?"
"It's my second uncle's daughter."
"Why did she...come to make trouble?" Maura couldn't help asking, Finn was Chen's Family's successor. His position must be the only one, just like Hank Shawn on Shawn's Family before.
But judging by Irene Chen's appearance, she didn't pay attention to Finn at all.
"Because I'm an illegitimate child..." Finn sighed; he revealed everything.
He wasn't very clear about the specific resentment between his mother, Shay Su, and his father, Henry Chen.
However, people in Chen's Family had ever mentioned something disjointedly.
In his earlier years, Henry once took Shay back to Chen's Family. In front of Chen's old man, he said that he would only marry Shay.
As a result, Chen's old man broke his two legs.
Chen's Family also expelled Shay.
The day after Shay left Chen's Family, Chen's old man set a marriage for Henry. The woman was the little princess of City Z's Qin's Family.
Henry initially wanted to refuse, but Chen's old man used Shay to break Henry's intention.
After Henry married Rachel Qin, everyone thought that Shay would never show up in front of Chen's Family again.
But three years later, Shay reappeared with a three-year-old kid.
It's Finn. With Finn's appearance, Chen's Family was once again in turmoil.
Chen's Family had a rare disagreement on Finn's extant.
Some tended to let Finn stayed in Chen's Family. After all, he had Chen's Family's noble blood in his body. If they kicked him out, there would be a lot of gossips.
Some asked to expel Finn. They felt an illegitimate child like him would stain Chen's Family.
Both sides kept arguing awfully. At last, Chen's old man decided to take the case.
Stay!
Finn could enjoy Chen's Family's training and learning resources, but couldn't claim to be a Chen's Family's son.
No one in Chen's Family would dare to object Chen's old man's words.
But for Shay and Finn, Chen's Family wouldn't give any kind expression.
Henry was there for the first two years, so Chen's Family restrained themselves. Even if they hated Shay and Finn, they wouldn't show it.
However, after Henry's mysterious disappearance, Chen's Family changed. They made things difficult for Shay and Finn; they even drove Shay and Finn to where Chen's Family's servants lived.
Finn stayed in Chen's Family for 15 years with full of coldness.
If it's not because Shay died three years ago, he would have stayed in Chen's Family.
He couldn't say that he's not blaming Henry; after all, Henry didn't do his responsibility as a father.
But Finn also knew that in those circumstances, it's the best Henry could do.
If he didn't marry Qin's Family's princess, Shay would never live to the next day, and there wouldn't be today's Finn.
"What do you have to do now?" Maura concerned. Although what Finn said was a brief, she could understand that all the people in Chen's Family, except Jason, considered Finn as a thorn.
They would never allow an illegitimate son like Finn to control Chen's Family.
So they, sooner or later, would eradicate Finn.
"Don't worry too much. Chen's Family won't do anything to me for the time being." Finn smiled.
It had been two days since Irene abolished, but during these two days, Chen's Family had said anything about dealing with him.
They were either saving strength or waiting for Jason's words. If Jason didn't say anything, they didn't dare to do anything to him.
Finn speculated that the latter was more likely.
Because Jason now had a very high status in Chen's Family, even Bowie Chen was afraid of him.
Before Jason revealed his thought, Bowie would act rashly on him.
"Well." Maura nodded gently, but she felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.
She now felt that she was becoming more and more useless. Every time something happened to Finn, she couldn't help him.
Sometimes she even would become a burden to Finn and scatter Finn's energy...
