Chapter 5 Who Else is Gonna Be?
Just a scratch?
He was asked to here at such a late night by Levi and watched the doctors treating his bloody wounds.
Thanks to his solid status built up in these years, otherwise his injury must be gossiped in the EastGarden.
The man didn’t ask how he got the wounds, but grumbled, “These guys really want to kill you! They didn’t show any mercy to you!”
Levi smiled coldly, “Mercy? It’ll never happen to the Finn family.”
Since he was five, he had witnessed numerous accidents all these years.
And it was at the age of five, he saw his mother leaped to her own death, and then another woman walked into his home a month later.
At that time, he didn’t know why the people around him treated him differently, until he saw the people from his grandfather’s family.
And it was at that time, he started to realize that how complex the situation was in his family. As he grew older, he found that the things he knew about his family were only the tip of the iceberg.
The Finns, the wealthy and influential family in the city, was covered with dirty things. Here, kinship was nothing but a joke.
The only things that mattered were interests and the incidental, endless fights never ceased to happen.
Levi couldn’t remember that how many times he had been the target of an assassination. But every time he just treated the wounds in here and left like nothing happened.
They didn’t kill him in the car accident last time, so they found a woman to spy on him this time with the excuse of looking after him.
He had gotten familiar with this kind of scheme for a long time. He also knew that affection was the most meaningless thing in the marriage of his family, since they never marry someone because of love.
“I heard that they started to suspect you. Are you going to keep pretending to be a cripple until you die?” the man said.

“I’m a real cripple now. Do you want to check my leg?” Levi said indifferently.
“I don’t know,” the man shrugged and leaned on the wall, watching the doctors warping up his wounds with bandages.
“Levi, someone told me that the girl returned now,” the man frowned.
Levi stubbed out his cigarette, “the girl from the Harolds?”
“Who else is gonna be? In the view of the Harolds, even a cripple is a good choice to them,” he said with an expression of scorn.
Obviously, he had been investigating the Harold family for a while.
“She was sent abroad at a very young age. Though she looks pretty sophisticated, I think she is probably an ignoramus considering her father. She had never been in school when she was abroad, and my man who was responsible for following her reported that she was using an expensive laptop…”
He continued, “How can a girl without income afford such an expensive laptop? His father never gives a cent to her.”
After hearing him talking so much about her, Levi knew he just trying to tell him that this girl from the Harolds was nothing but a material girl just like his family members.”
Well, girls, he did meet a distinguished one tonight.
She was swift and unruly like a wild cat, evoking his desire to conquer her.
He hadn’t had this kind of feeling for a long time, but it really wasn’t the time to meet her…
“What are you thinking?”
His words drew Levi back from the recall so that he had to keep hearing him chattering.
“That’s why you need to be careful. Maybe she will be bribed by those from EastGarden,” the man paused for a minute and continued, “Besides… If you decide to marry her, what about Amelia?”
