Chapter 1519
The woman said, "I know it will be difficult, but... we can't wait much longer. If they want money, let them have it. We'll give it to them."
Listening to the woman's anxious voice, Finn felt a mix of pity and helplessness. "They don't lack money. No matter how much we give them, they still won't agree."
The woman fell silent for a few seconds before responding, "What if I agree to you meeting Janine? If you talk to her, she'll be able to get through to your sons. They won't refuse her."
Finn frowned. "Haven't you always been against me meeting Janine?"
"Things have changed. I didn't want you to meet her before, but now... we have no other choice, do we? I'd rather face the pain myself." "Alright, I'll think about it."
"You don't need to think. It's decided. Go meet Janine tomorrow. She's just a simple country woman, not very clever. If you talk to her properly, she'll agree."
"Fine. Don't worry so much. I'll handle this."
After arriving at the hotel, Harvey checked into a room. Noticing that it was getting late, he decided to shower and go to bed.
The next morning, Harvey organized the recording on his phone and sent it to their group chat, which included Charles, Steven, and Skylar.
The night before, he had been careful. He had recorded his conversation with Finn.
Sometimes, it was crucial to collect evidence without hesitation. Failing to do so in the moment could lead to deep regrets later.noveldrama
After finishing his breakfast, the three of them began chatting in their group chat. The first to speak was Skylar.
"Turns out he came with a purpose. He said he was just asking, but I have a feeling he's testing you. If you agree now, his demands will likely increase later."
Charles replied, "I'm with Skylar on this one. I can't believe this kind of soap opera plot is happening to me-a father who's been dead for years suddenly isn't dead. Then, he shows up out of nowhere with some hidden agenda. Looks like he's after our bone marrow, huh? These kinds of things really happen in real life too."
Steven chimed in, "Just as we initially guessed, he indeed has an ulterior motive. He hit a dead end with Harvey, and next, he might tr his luck with me or Charles. Of course, he could also go after Mom. Here's the plan. I'll go home after work today and talk to Mom about it."

Harvey replied, "Why is he choosing this moment to show up? Why not some other time? Mom and Mr. Read are in a good place right now, and his appearance is going to ruin her mood. You guys heard the recording. He's shameless.
"He's out here insisting he wasn't wrong for abandoning Mom and us, even blaming her for everything. The audacity! I can't fathom who gave him the nerve to twist the facts so shamelessly."
Charles said, "His views are completely different from ours, Harvey. You don't need to be angry with him. If he had any proper values, how could he choose to abandon Mom and us? And how would he dare to approach us?
"Anyone with a shred of self-respect, even if they were terminally ill with just days to live, would quietly fade away somewhere. Only someone as selfish as him would have the audacity to come knocking on our door."
Skylar looked at the conversation in the group chat between the three of them. After a brief silence, she responded, "I agree with Steven's approach. Let's talk to Mom about it tonight and prepare her in advance.
"I think after he's hit a dead end with all of you, he'll try a different tactic. He'll probably try to convince Mom to do the work for him."
As she typed this, she couldn't help but frown. Janine was a kind woman. If Finn knew how to play his cards right, he might really be able to convince her.
If it wasn't just a simple matter of donating bone marrow, Skylar couldn't help but wonder what Finn's true intentions really were.
Harvey's anger flared. "Mom won't fall for his tricks! But still, he's shameless! I'd rather he had died 20 years ago."
