Chapter 202 Shall We Make A Bet The banquet was nearing its end.
Except for those close to the Caulder family, the rest of the guests bid farewell one by one.
âFinnegan, most of the guests have left. Whereâs your birthday gift?â
Myla, who had long wanted to embarrass Finnegan, chose this moment to speak up.
Everyone at the table, including Trey, gave Myla a sympathetic look.
Through their experience, anyone with intentions toward Finnegan would end up at a disadvantage.
Sasha and Mandy felt this most deeply.
However, Myla, not knowing much about Finnegan, seemed persistent. âIt doesnât matter if you didnât prepare one. Anyway, saving my grandfather is more valuable than any birthday gift. Itâs fine if you lack sincerity.â
Despite saying that, she didnât bother hiding the mocking smile that spread across her lips.
Finnegan gave her a speechless glance.
She had an attractive appearance and figure, with a particularly charming and elegant temperament.
Unfortunately, she was a little arrogant, and that made people uncomfortable.
Thinking to himself that appearances can be deceiving Finnegan decided to give Myla a lesson. âMs.
Caulder, I indeed have prepared a birthday gift. Itâs not just any gift as it outshines all the gifts given by everyone else. I daresay itâs the best in the world. Do you believe me?â
Mylaâs face showed even more disdain.
âFinnegan, did you rely on your eloquence to gain my grandfatherâs favor?â she sneered.
âIt seems you donât believe me!â Finnegan feigned displeasure.
Myla had no idea that Finnegan was trying to trick her, so she nodded honestly. âI believe you when you say youâve prepared a gift, but I donât believe you when you say your gift will outshine everyone elseâs as it is the best in the world!â
Finneganâs expression darkened. âDo you want to make a bet? If I were boasting, Iâd do whatever you say. However, if it is the oppositeâ¦â
At this point, Finnegan leaned in a bit, whispering words audible only to Myla.
Mylaâs face instantly turned beet red. âShameless man!â
Finnegan spread his hands. âIt seems you do not dare to accept my bet.â
âI agree!â Upon thinking of the unreasonable demand Finnegan just made, Myla couldnât care less about her upbringing and manners. She only wanted to see Finnegan lose face. âIf the birthday gift you present III 1 isnât as you claimed, the relationship between you and the Caulder family is over, and there will be no more connections between us!â
âMs. Caulder, it seems like youâre afraid Iâll cling to the Caulder familyâs coattails!â
Finnegan chuckled, feeling that Myla was getting a bit too full of herself.
Trey and others at the table sighed inwardly, thinking that Myla was a bit presumptuous.
Countless people would love to curry favor with Finnegan but didnât have the chance to do so.
However, this was Mylaâs own business, and they all tactfully chose to be observers.
Myla scornfully said. âWhat, are you backing down now?â
âWell, be prepared. Iâll be collecting my reward soon!â
With a playful smile, Finnegan stood up and walked toward the main table.
At this moment, most of the guests had already left, leaving only Gilbert, Winston, and others, as well as the Zimmerman family.
Seeing him approach the main table, Timothy whispered to Millicent, âGrandma, what is this guy up Millicent coldly snorted. âWhat does it matter? Heâs just a guy without background, relying on a powerful backing to bully others!â
Finnegan reached the main table.
Gilbert, Winston, and others stood up and greeted, âMr. Larkin!â
After probing for information from Desmond, Bruce wore a complicated expression. âFinnegan.â
But for Millicent and Timothy, it felt like an unreal dream.
The younger generation being polite to him was understandable, but why was the older generation also being so courteous?
Timothy suddenly felt a bit uneasy and gave Millicent a soft tug. âGrandma, this isnât just a simple favor, i it? Uncleâs family wouldnât use Finnegan to take complete control of the Zimmerman family, would they?
Millicentâs face had turned dark as the outcome was something she hadnât anticipated. âDonât panic just yet!â
After nodding in response to Gilbert and others, Finnegan took out a small box about the size of a childâs fist from his body. âOld Mr. Caulder, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you. Please accept it.â
Soren stood up and waved his hand. âFinn, your presence at my birthday banquet is the greatest gift. I canât accept this present!â
William echoed, âMr. Larkin, you should take the gift back. Saving my dad is already the most valuable gift.â
âOld Mr. Caulder, Mr. Caulder.â
ON 2 Desmond was in high spirits today. Feeling slightly tipsy, he got to his feet.
He persuaded, âTreating Old Mr. Caulderâs illness is Finnyâs duty as a doctor, and giving a birthday gift is a sincere gesture. Please accept it.â
Finnegan added cheerfully, âMy dad is right. Besides, this birthday gift is specially prepared for Old Mr.
Caulder. It wouldnât be appropriate to give it to someone else now.â
âWellâ¦â Sorenâs face showed hesitation.
Seeing them insist, Soren nodded and took the small box. âAll right, Iâll accept it.â
At that moment, Myla walked over and asked, âGrandpa, what did Finnegan give you?â
Soren wore a stern expression. âMyla, itâs a gift.â
âOld Mr. Caulder, itâs fine.â Finnegan took over the conversation. âMs. Caulder, if you want to look at it, go ahead and open it. It can also be consumed now.â
Soren was taken aback. âConsume it?â
He thought it was some sort of small trinket.
However, Bruce stood up, his body trembling profusely in shock. Donât tell meâ¦
Finnegan nodded and said, âItâs a longevity and health pill with great effects.â
Winston and Gilbert also stood up one after another.
Of course, they had heard about Finnegan giving Bruce the Long Life Pill, only for it to be snagged by Alexander.
Could this be the Long Life Pill?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Soren opened the small box. Immediately, a rich herbal a the air, invigorating everyoneâs spirits.
âItâs the Long Life Pill!â
Bruceâs eyes widened instantly, unable to hide his greed and desire.
He would never forget the Long Life Pill that Finnegan had brought out at his birthday banquet that looked the same as what Soren was holding in his hand right now.
Millicent couldnât help but walk over.
After taking a good look, she couldnât contain his anger and shouted at Finnegan, âFinnegan, didnât you say last time that there was only one Long Life Pill? Whatâs going on?â
âItâs none of your business,â Finnegan replied rudely.
Millicentâs face turned red, but she didnât dare to be presumptuous in front of so many people. Turning to the stunned Soren, Finnegan said, âThis is indeed the Long Life Pill. I hope you can continue to strive for Loangâs education sector for another twenty years!â
III and 3/
Soren trembled all over; he knew exactly what the Long Life Pill was.
Suppressing that desire, he said, âFinn, this is too precious; you should take it back.â
In her heart, Millicent shouted madly, Yes, take it back and give it to me!
On the other hand, Bruce had a complex expression. He wanted Finnegan to take it back but didnât dare to speak up.
Finnegan smiled. âOld Mr. Caulder, if you want my sincerity to be in vain, I can take it back.â
Huh?
Soren naturally didnât want to refuse Finneganâs good intentions, but the Long Life Pill was indeed too precious.
Desmond, unfamiliar with the Long Life Pill, continued to persuade, âOld Mr. Caulder, just accept it. Itâs a sincere gesture from Finny.â
Regaining her composure, Myla retorted coldly, âItâs a fake. The Long Life Pill only has an incomplete formula and is extremely rare. Thereâs no way Finnegan could have it!â
