Provocation.
Blatant provocation.
It was evident for those with clear insights that Hudson was provoking Finn.
But Finn didn't mind. Hudson was very clever to retreat to advance. But it only worked to Leah. For Finn, Hudson's trick wouldn't work.
"Yes, I have disagreements."
Finn stated plainly.
The place was quiet again.
An instant later, Leah shouted violently and loudly: "Trash, how could you have disagreements? Is this house for me or you?"
"Disagreements? Keep it whatever you want to say! Your words don't weigh in this family!" Leah didn't leave Finn any dignity.
"Mom, this house is second-hand," Maura spoke for Finn reluctantly.
"What's wrong with second-hand? Can't the second-hand house be settled in?" Leah goggled her eyes, with a determined look.
Maura moved her lips, but she didn't say anything. Leah was right, though the house was second-hand, they still could make benefits.
Houses in Spring Hill have been popular. Although the house was second-hand, the price wouldn't be much lower than the new house.
"Manager Zhang, please ignore this rubbish. It's me who wants to buy the house, not him. Let me handle procedures with you now." Leah smiled to please Hudson as if she worried that Hudson wouldn't sell the house to her.
Hudson pretended to be embarrassed, and answered: "Ms.Leah, maybe you want to think twice? After all, Finn belongs to your family, and he is so determined…"
"He is nothing!"
Leah remorselessly cursed: "Manager Zhang, you have no idea how trashy Finn is. During his three years' stay in my family, he has done nothing despite eating and spending!"
"To tell you the truth, manager Zhang, if it wasn't for my daughter, I would have thrown this Trash, Finn, out of my house. He was such Trash that I wouldn't consider him one of my family members."
Though in front of the strangers, Leah didn't take Finn's dignity into consideration at all.
Leah's attitude completely settled Hudson down. Glancing at Finn arrogantly, Hudson pleasantly responded: "Well, Ms.Leah, let's go to the sales department to handle procedures."
"Very good, let's go." Leah nodded instantly. Just now, Leah had been worried that Hudson wouldn't sell the house to her. Since Finn once offended him. Now it seemed that she was worrying unnecessarily.
Compared with Finn, Hudson was much more generous.
"Manager Zhang, are you sure to sell the house to my mom?" Finn asked in a cold voice. It was obvious that there were other problems in the house except for its refurbishment. Nevertheless, Hudson kept silent about these problems, trying to trick Leah as a victim.
Finn wouldn't bother to get involved if Leah was the only victim, but Grant would also live in this house. Finn couldn't just stand by.
"Finn, it seems that you want to give me some color to see? Seeming to feel the idea od menace in Finn's words, Hudson stopped and sneered at Finn.
"I allow you this last chance to confess the real problem of this house." Finn squinted. Actually, he already has a guess. Now, he was just waiting to see whether Hudson was sensible.
Hudson shook his head and smiled, no answer to Finn. Instead, Hudson looked at Leah: "Ms.Leah, it seems that your son-in-law doesn't want you to buy this house."
"Finn!!!"
