"Eating and drinking for free for three years?" Finn said mockingly. Some of Xia's Family members were so shameful that they could even say that. Even if he did eat and drink for free, he would be living off Maura, not Xia's Family.
"Isn't it?" Seeing Finn dared to ridicule, some people were dissatisfied.
"If you say so." Finn smiled a little. He didn't bother to argue with such a fool.
"Hmph, since it's true, then you should also help Xia's Family." Someone snorted coldly.
"Beg Shane! If this can be solved, you can enter the Xia's Family Ancestral Temple." A veteran of Xia's Family spoke coldly, with a hint of charity in his tone.
"Xia's Family Ancestral Temple?" Finn shook his head. He sneered even more.
"Why, are you not willing?" The elder who had just given alms raised his eyebrows and was very dissatisfied with Finn.
Finn didn't answer, but walked up to Scott, looked directly at him and said, "Those projects in Spring Hill, I can help you get them back."
"But I have one condition." After a pause, Finn said again.
"What are the conditions?" Scott said in a deep voice. He knew very well that Finn was not the kind of person who would do something without a target. He said this because he was sure he could convince Shane.
"I want to part ways and establish another Xia's Family!" Finn said word by word.
"Presumptuous!"
"Impossible!"
"Nonsense!"
"You are a son-in-law who's living off our family. How dare you say that!"
As soon as Finn said it and before Scott got to say something, the old stubborn ones in Xia's Family got angry. Family orthodoxy was critical at all times. In their opinion, what Finn meant by establishing another Xia's Family was to take Maura's shares from the company and form a small Xia's Family.
It was Obvious that Finn would be in charge of this little Xia's Family, not Maura.
If Finn was a person with prestige and high status, Xia's Family would be happy with him in charge of Xia's Family.
But Finn happened to be a son-in-law who was living off his wife. This kind of man wouldn't even be allowed to eat on the dinner table in ancient times. Now in modern times, they would lose face if he were in charge or Xia's Family.
Finn ignored the old stubborn family members but instead set his sights on Scott.
After all, Scott was the one in charge of Xia's Family.
"Why do you want to establish another Xia's Family?" Scott asked. Finn had never expected this request.
Finn sneered a little and asked, "If I don't establish another Xia's Family, will you let Maura be in charge?"
Scott's eyes narrowed slightly. He indeed wouldn't hand over Xia's Family to Maura, but even so, Finn didn't need to establish another Xia's Family. He still felt that Finn wanted to establish another Xia's Family for other reasons.
"Delusional! How dare to plot Xia's Family!"
"Scott, don't agree with his condition!"
"This person has other intentions. He should be kicked out of Xia's Family. This is to warn others against following bad examples!"
The elders of Xia's Family were furious. Asking Scott to hand over the Xia's Family to Maura was no different from handing it to Finn. After all, Maura's future child would be Finn's.
Finn smiled and said nothing. These old things thought he was eyeing to take over Xia's Family.
Short-sighted!
Finn didn't even care about Chen's Family, the top wealthy family of Country C.
