Regal Guard of Dragon
Chapter 54 Do You Trust Me?

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

“Don't complain about this. You'd better think how to persuade Maurato meet Gavin Shen tomorrow.” Fay was worried. If Gavin didn't sawMaura 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 yourfeelings.” Leah's voice sounded soft. She knew Maura’s character.Maura was the kind of person who was easy to be moved but hard tobe forced

Maura Shawn frowned, uncomfortable about Leah's tone.

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

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

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

Maura sighed. She couldn't understand why Leah always connectedlove 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 herattitude towards Finn Chen.

Leah bit her lips. She couldn't believe that coward, Finn, would makechanges. But now, she had to lie. “All right, Maura, I can give Finn anopportunity, but I hope you can also give me an opportunity. Nomatter you like Gavin or not, come to see him tomorrow, OK? If you stillinsist 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 whatwould happen next had nothing to do with her. She believed Gavin hadenough 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? Maurawas Finn's wife. It would certainly be a shame for Finn if she datedanother man.

“Maura! I'm begging you! Meet Gavin tomorrow, OK?" Leah begged. IfMaura refused, Leah could only wait for Gavin's revenge.

“Mom, do you cover something?” Maura doubted. Leah used to bedominant, but this time, she was so humble, making Maura doubtful.Finn sighed. Maura didn't know that she had already been sold by hermother.

“Maura, I...I took Gavin's money.” Leah was embarrassed. She knew itwas 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 hisintention couldn't just be to meet her. He must have some dirty plans.“Mom! To be honest, what deal have you made with Gavin?” Mauraasked with fury. She was so innocent that she couldn't imagine thatLeah would be crazy enough to sell her virgin night.

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

“How could he spend one hundred million just to see me? Mom, doyou think I'm a fool?” Maura cried. She now began to realize what Leahhad 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 hadnothing outstanding except for her beautiful face.

“Maura, I can't do that. I've made a contract with Gavin. He only needsyou, 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, shewouldn'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, Ihave to spend my rest life in prison. Though I did wrong, you can't beso ruthless...”

Maura was furious, tears flowing down from her face. She couldn’t hearwhat Leah said next. She was deeply immersed in greatdisappointment.

Finn sighed. He knew now how hard Maura was. It was a choicebetween the mother, who had raised her for more than 20 years, andthe 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 adilemma, 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 behandled immediately, bringing her unbelievable surprise. So, it wouldstill be like that this time?
