Regal Guard of Dragon

Chapter 54 Do You Trust Me?

“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.

“Maura, I...I took Gavin’s money.” Leah was embarrassed. She knew it was shameful.

“How much?”

Maura gritted her teeth.

“One hundred million,” Leah answered in a low voice.

Maura was shocked, her face turning pale quickly.

She knew what it meant. Gavin had spent so much money, so his intention couldn’t just be to meet her.

He must have some dirty plans.

“Mom! To be honest, what deal have you made with Gavin?” Maura asked with fury. She was so

innocent that she couldn’t imagine that Leah would be crazy enough to sell her virgin night.

“No...no deal. Maura, Gavin...just wants to see you.” Leah didn’t dare to speak the truth.

“How could he spend one hundred million just to see me? Mom, do you think I’m a fool?” Maura cried.

She now began to realize what Leah had done, but she was still unwilling to believe it.

Leah was speechless.

“Mom, return the money to Gavin right now! Then I can forget this.” Maura said coldly. She was not

stupid. She knew her value. She had nothing outstanding except for her beautiful face.

“Maura, I can’t do that. I’ve made a contract with Gavin. He only needs you, not money. If he doesn’t

see you tomorrow, he won’t let me go...” Leah said in a small voice. Even if she could return the money,

she wouldn’t do that at such a critical moment. It was one hundred million! Finn couldn’t earn so much

money all his life!

“I said, I! Will! Not! Go!” Maura shouted.

Leah cried. “Maura, please save me. If you don’t see him tomorrow, I have to spend my rest life in

prison. Though I did wrong, you can’t be so ruthless...”

Maura was furious, tears flowing down from her face. She couldn’t hear what Leah said next. She was

deeply immersed in great disappointment.

Finn sighed. He knew now how hard Maura was. It was a choice between the mother, who had raised

her for more than 20 years, and the husband, who she loved and prepared to spend all the rest life

with.

“Maura, do you trust me?” Finn smiled. He would never let Maura in a dilemma, never.

Maura stared at Finn. It was the third time Finn asked her this question. Every time after Finn asked,

the difficulties in front of her could be handled immediately, bringing her unbelievable surprise. So, it

would still be like that this time?
