Regal Guard of Dragon novel Chapter 54

“It must be that coward, Finn, who incited Maura to be such foolish. If I could know this, I wouldn’t have agreed with Grant to take that coward to my home!” Leah said with repentance. She should have let Finn die outside.

“Don’t complain about this. You’d better think how to persuade Maura to meet Gavin Shen tomorrow.” Fay was worried. If Gavin didn’t saw Maura tomorrow, he would put his anger on them.

“I have one more try.” Leah sighed, then she called Maura.

“Maura, I apologize first. It was my mistake not to care about your feelings.” Leah’s voice sounded soft. She knew Maura’s character. Maura was the kind of person who was easy to be moved but hard to be forced.

Maura Shawn frowned, uncomfortable about Leah’s tone.

“I hope you can understand I do these all for you. You know our family’s situation well. Your grandfather doesn’t care about your father and give a little share to us every year. Though you tried so hard to make the contract of Spring Hill project, your grandfather still wants to take all the money and leave little to us.”

“As for Finn...he is really not promising. His salary is so little that he even can’t afford your make-up. You know that women need money to keep their young faces.”

“So I made the decision for you. Gavin Shen is a good man. Maura, trust me. I won’t do harm to you.”

Maura sighed. She couldn’t understand why Leah always connected love with money. Couldn’t she have real love without money?

“Mom, I know you do this for me, but I don’t want to divorce Finn. Besides, I think you should give Finn an opportunity. He will change.” Maura didn’t listen to Leah but wanted to persuade Leah to change her attitude towards Finn Chen.

Leah bit her lips. She couldn’t believe that coward, Finn, would make changes. But now, she had to lie. “All right, Maura, I can give Finn an opportunity, but I hope you can also give me an opportunity. No matter you like Gavin or not, come to see him tomorrow, OK? If you still insist on staying with Finn later, I’ll never bother you again.”

Leah’s idea was simple. Her task was to send Maura to Gavin, and what would happen next had nothing to do with her. She believed Gavin had enough means to persuade Maura.

“Mom, I said, I have no interest in Gavin. I won’t go!”

Maura frowned. Why Leah insisted on asking her to meet Gavin? Maura was Finn’s wife. It would certainly be a shame for Finn if she dated another man.

“Maura! I’m begging you! Meet Gavin tomorrow, OK?” Leah begged. If Maura refused, Leah could only wait for Gavin’s revenge.

“Mom, do you cover something?” Maura doubted. Leah used to be dominant, but this time, she was so humble, making Maura doubtful.

Finn sighed. Maura didn’t know that she had already been sold by her mother.
