“Maura, I’m doing it for the sake of the family. We can’t know when your father will wake up, so his team can’t stay in vain. The negotiation with the Group of Pinnacle was about our future, so to be on the safe side, we must gather all the resources we have.” Hank Shawn looked serious.

Sara Shawn found it an opportunity to humiliate Maura, so she echoed. “I agree. Maura, at this time, you shouldn’t be too selfish. For our family, you should make some sacrifices.”

Sara had been slapped by Finn and Maura yesterday, so she would do anything disadvantageous to them.

If it were not that Sid disagreed, she would have to look for someone in the underground to give them a lesson.

Other members agreed as well because doing this, on the one hand, could befriend to Carl, who would be the next head of the family, and on the other hand, could kick Grant’s family out of the core-level of Shawn’s Family, so that they could get more shares.

Their ruthless words fell into Maura’s ears. In this conference room, no one stood by Maura’s side.

Maura’s body shook with fury. She had never thought that one day, she would be forced such ruthless.

Even these people who were forcing her were her relatives.

Maura looked at Scott, who was the only able to help her.

But Scott’s word made her felt colder.

“Let Grant stay in the hospital to have a good rest.” Obviously, he supported Hank, too!

Maura looked pale. Scott’s word was the death sentence for Grant, which meant their little family had no hope at all.

“That’s all for today. The meeting is over.” Scott got up slowly and left the conference room.

Hank got up, too. He walked to Maura, looking at her with complacency. “Maura Shawn, do you dare to be against me again?”

“Shameless!” Maura was clenching her teeth, eyes red with fury.

“Haha, shameless?” So what? Didn’t you see that even grandfather stood by me, the shameless guy?” Hank laughed. In Shawn’s Family, Scott was the god that no one dared to question his decision even though it was wrong!

“Hum, you’d better go home and deliver food with your useless husband. That’s what you should do.” Hank sneered, then left, humming.

The conference room empty, Maura couldn’t help sobbing on the table.

In the evening, Finn went home early. He put the rice into the steamer, and then prepared to pick up Maura.

But when he opened the door, he found Maura standing at the door.

“Why are you back so early today?” Finn asked.

Maura didn’t answer. Looking at her for a while, Finn found something wrong.

With a smell of wine on her body, Maura’s eyes were red.

Did she drink? Finn frowned. Maura hadn’t drunk at all since they got married three years ago. Why did she drink so much today?

Maura entered in a daze and then sat on the sofa.

When Finn worried and was about to ask, Leah came out from her bedroom.

“My dear daughter, what’s the matter?”

Seeing Leah, Maura couldn’t help but hug her, crying.

“Honey, who made you so wronged? Tell me. Was that bastard Finn Chen?” Leah subconsciously thought it was Finn who made Maura angry.

Maura shook her head, crying. “sobbing, mom, I’m sorry for dad.”

“Dad? What’s the matter?”

Maura told the matter with a face full of grievances. Then Leah was furious.

“Bastards! I’ll look for them. Your father is in a coma, not dead. How can they bully us so much?” Leah was madly furious. Their family was already in financial difficulties. If the engineering team was lost, they would live on air.”

Finn’s face was terrible, as well. Grant worked so hard for Shawn’s Family. He should be given credit for hard work, if not for merit. Now he was just in a coma for an accident, but those people were in a hurry to get the resource from his hands, which was incredibly shameless!

But Finn also knew that it would only be humiliating to argue with Hank now. No one dared to question Scott’s decision.

So Finn persuaded. “Mom, calm down first. This matter...”

“Calm down? How can I calm down?” Leah turned around and glared at Finn. “If it wasn’t for your uselessness, how can they treat us like this?”

“Mom, don’t blame Finn. It was because of my uselessness.” Maura shook her head, sobbing.

“Don’t blame him? Who should I blame? If it weren’t this coward whose work is delivering food, a shame for Shawn’s Family, your grandfather wouldn’t have been dissatisfied with your father. And today’s matter would never have happened!”

“It’s all because of him! If this coward were capable even a little, you wouldn’t have suffered such a lot!”

Leah’s tone was full of disgust for Finn, but Maura was just crying.

“Maura, mom is right. It’s because of my uselessness. I’ll give you a result.” Finn took a deep breath and then said calmly. He didn’t blame Leah because Leah wasn’t wrong. It was indeed because of him that Scott didn’t take Grant seriously.

He was the only one who should be blamed, for he was disappointing!

And, Hank! He was looking for death! It was OK to humiliate Finn himself, but it was acceptable to bully Maura!

Finn pushed the door to leave, dialing Jones Chen’s phone.

“Who’s in charge of the Spring Hill project?” Finn asked with anger.

As if feeling Finn’s anger, Jones hurriedly said. “Young master, it’s Shane Lin, our man.”

“Tell Shane Lin that tomorrow some people from Shawn’s Family will talk to him about cooperation. I want to see them come out with pain!”

“Yes, young master.” Jones hurriedly nodded. How did those people offend Finn to make him such angry?”

Finn hung up the phone, clenching his fist. Did Shawn’s Family want to participate in the project? Did they want to be dominant in City C again? It was making a dream!

The next morning, dressed formally, Carl and Hank rushed to the Group of Pinnacle.

They felt nervous, for they had heard that many people even hadn’t seen the manager of the Group of Pinnacle, not to mention cooperation.

So it was still a question whether they should see the manager.

However, just when they arrived and said out the name of Shawn’s Family, the receptionist asked someone to lead them in.

They couldn’t calm down until they entered the elevator. The manager of the Group of Pinnacle, who had refused hundreds of companies, was willing to see them!
