Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 844

Finnian finally looked up, his tone flat. "Why do you ask? This is a family matter..."

Even though Hudson was now legally family, Sienna was the woman Finnian loved. How he handled their relationship was his own business, and he felt Hudson was overstepping.

Hudson let out a dry laugh. "You really are a glutton for punishment... After everything he's done to you, you're still holding out hope?"

Hudson had thought Finnian would be a capable ally. He had gone through the trouble of putting on a massive performance for him, only to find that Finnian still hadn't realized Henry Fairchild's true nature?

Did he really still have illusions about Henry?

"That is still my business. I don't need you meddling!" Finnian's expression darkened.

Hudson scoffed. "This isn't just about you anymore. It concerns my wife, which makes it my business!"

Finnian frowned, completely baffled as to how his relationship with Sienna involved Evangeline.

The excuse was a massive stretch.

"I don't care how she treats me, I'll gladly take it," Finnian shot back coldly. "So what if she's carrying another man's child? As long as she says yes, I'll happily be the step-father to her baby!"

"???"

Hudson's face went completely blank. What the hell was Finnian talking about? Weren't they just discussing Henry Fairchild?

How did the topic suddenly switch to Sienna?

"What nonsense are you spewing? I don't care if you want to play clueless step-father. I was asking about your dad—Henry Fairchild!"

"..."

Finnian pressed his lips together, finally realizing they had been having two entirely different conversations.

Hudson was asking about Henry, while he was talking about Sienna...

They had been talking past each other for five solid minutes.

Unbelievable.

"Oh, him..."

Finnian leaned back against the sofa and took a sip of his coffee. "My father is a master of disguise. He might not have much real talent, but the people working under him are sharp and highly capable. They aren't easy to take down. Plus, he only cares about profit. He'd sell anyone out for money—including his biological daughter, and me..."

Hudson had no patience for beating around the bush. "So?" he interrupted coldly.

Finnian met his gaze, his eyes burning with intensity. "The Fairchild Family has been going downhill under his leadership. When it comes to Vanguard Microchips and tech R&D, he's totally out of his depth. If he keeps at it, he'll ruin the family entirely... I don't want the Fairchild empire left in his hands anymore. I want to take over."

"Good. I support you." Now that they were finally on the same page, Hudson raised an eyebrow. "The Fairchild Corporation should have been yours a long time ago."
