Chapter 613 Wild Imagination âMom, I suspect that man isnât just an average Joe. Donât piss him off when you meet him next time,â Regan reminded.
Finley didnât care much about that. âWhat is there to be scared about him? We call the police, and theyâll do their job. They are the ones at fault for getting physical first.â
Regan felt his head hurt. âMom, Iâm going to tell you the truth. I saw Issa at the hospital earlier and the man you said. The man seemed close to Kingsley and wasnât someone we can afford to cross.â
Regan was well aware of his social status and knew he couldnât afford to offend someone with higher social standing.
Everyone had their own circle and his circle couldnât even compare to Kingsleyâs.
Shock filled Finleyâs eyes. âYou saw her earlier? Did you teach her a lesson for me? How dare she hit me!â
Regan admonished, âMom, that is not the point! Issa is not that girl from a few years back. The people she knows are more powerful than the people I know. I canât afford to offend them. That Kingsley is the son of the Watts family from Dellmoor. Do you know that? The people she knows are from Mr.
Wattsâ circle. If you want to destroy my life, then go ahead and piss them off.â
Finley was startled at his burst of temper. After a while, she finally processed what he said and started crying in frustration.
âI was the one wronged. Yet, youâre scolding me? Why donât you condemn that b**ch? Are you planning to let this matter slide just like that? Did I get beaten for nothing?â
Regan watched his crying mother and felt his head throbbing.
âWhat else can we do then? Ask them to compensate us or apologize? Even if they beat you to death, they have a way to avoid shouldering the responsibility.â
Finley was shocked by his words. âWhat should we do then?â
âNext time you see Issa, donât cuss her out. Whatever it is, sheâs still my daughter and your granddaughter. Itâs not good for us if others heard about this,â Regan advised his mother.
Finley scoffed with contempt. âCuss at her? Look at me now. Do you even see how badly I was beaten by her? And yet youâre asking me to treat her well? Why donât you ask her to respect me as her elder? You shouldnât have married her mother.â
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 612 Regan frowned. âDo you think you get to live a good life if I donât marry her?â
Finley was struck speechless at his refute.
âThe people Issa knows are the ones I canât approach. If we treat her well, she might acquaint us with them. Sheâll know many others in Mr. Wattsâ
circle if she is well acquainted with him. The company will get to develop on a greater scale. Donât you want the upper society to call you Mdm. Finley with respect?â
Regan continued to persuade Finley, feeding into the wild imagination in her mind as though she was already living life as a part of the upper society and had everyone knocking on her door to fawn at her.
She had stopped yelping in pain, and her eyes glowed with greed. âWill that really happen?â
âThat depends on our attitude toward Issa. I saw they were close to her. Mom, I wonât force you if you canât do it, but donât offend her. It was true we treated her poorly in the past. Once I apologize to her, Iâm sure sheâll forgive us.â
Finley berated, âWe treated her poorly? Did we starve her? Or did we not give her anything to wear? We were the ones who provided the money for her education. Oh, does scolding her equate to us treating her poorly? Which kid is never hit or scolded before? From my point of view, she didnât get hit or scolded enough. That was why she ended up as an ingrate and came back to beat her elders.â
Regan didnât want to continue the conversation with his mother.
âMom, Arissa said she was drugged. Do you know what happened?â
With creases marring his forehead, he eyed Finley suspiciously. She and Heather were the ones responsible for getting Issa there, so I wasnât sure if they drugged her then.
Finley averted her gaze and barked, âI donât know who drugged her. Why do you believe everything she said? Do you think Iâm that kind of person?â
