Beneath the weak appearance lay a terrifying edge.
Finn squinted at the man. There was no doubt that this old and gray man was one of Grant's brothers in arms. His name was Hinds.
When Finn was looking at Hinds, the latter was doing the same thing. However, there was confusion when Hinds turned his eyes on Finn.
"Who are you?"
"Uncle Hinds, I am Finn." Smiling slightly, Finn felt that Hinds seemed not to be as outrageous as his wife.
"You are Finn?" With a smile on his face at once, Hinds continued to ask, "you are Grant's son-in-law, right?"
"Come on up! Come on! Eveline, take Finn up!" Hinds was so hospitable that his family members here were all puzzled.
"Hinds, this bastard teased me! How can you...?" With grievance on her face, Eveline wanted to continue blaming on what Finn had done. But Hinds interrupted her immediately,' shut up!'
"Finn just came here from City C. He was not familiar with everything here. Why would he tease you? ...Cough." Hinds seemed to be riled. He couldn't help coughing when he was still talking. As a result, his face flushed.
Seeing that, Eveline was shocked, saying, "Hinds, don't be angry. I'll ask him to come in right now!"
Turning her eyes on Finn, Eveline became rude again, saying, "Come on! Why do you still not move?"
Squinting at her, Finn followed her without any words.
But Hinds had already come down, and he waved to Finn with a smile, saying, "Finn, come and sit down! come on!"
Finn smiled gently, replying, "Uncle Hinds. There is still a misunderstanding between your family and me. I am not going to sit down."
"Misunderstanding? Which one?" Hinds raised his head and gazed at Finn with a puzzle.
But Hinds only found that Finn shut his mouth and didn't mean to talk.
Getting some information from Finn's words, Hinds turned his eyes on Eveline and Stefan. At once, he noticed that both of them were awkward.
"Eveline!" Hinds said in disappointment.
Being completely resolute, Eveline repeated what Stefan had said to continue discrediting Finn.
Eveline expected Hinds to glare at Finn when hearing what she had said. Instead, Hinds became much angrier. What's more, the source of his anger was exactly Stefan and her.
Eveline was extremely terrified, saying, "Hinds…"
"I gave you 300,000 yuan, but you only gave 100,000 yuan to Finn!" Hinds looked at Eveline coldly.
"300,000 yuan?" Stefan shouted surprisedly. When Eveline asked him to redeem that jade, she told him that Hinds had only given her 100,000 yuan. As a result, he could only pay Finn 100,000 yuan at most for that jade.
But now...
300,000 yuan? There was some confusion in Finn's eyes. What a fun family! One is bolder than the other!
At first, Finn thought that it was quite greedy of Stefan to embezzle his deserving 100,000 yuan. But out of his imagination, Eveline was much more greedy that she had even embezzled 200,000 yuan.
Seeing Eveline lower her head without any words, Hinds shouted furiously, "Tell me the truth!"
"what should... should I tell you?" Getting extremely angry at once, Eveline raised her head and replied aggressively, "I indeed just gave 100,000 yuan to this bumpkin! So what?"
"Previously, Grant only lent 100,000 yuan to you, right?"
