A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 36 Spending Frivolously

Amelia was convinced that Lindsey was there to help Finnegan save face, so she decided to smile and look the other way for the moment. After all, Lindsey was quite well-connected.

“Lindsey, you came at the just right time. Let me introduce you to my brother, Dexter. He’s a team leader at the sales department of Pentariver Group, while his girlfriend, Jessica Burton, is the vice president of Sales of Pentariver Group.” uttered Amelia, who was more excited to introduce Jessica than her own brother.

However, Lindsey ignored Amelia’s introduction and also Dexter’s intent to shake her hand. “I was late because the road was a little congested, but I did take care of the document. Rhia’s name is on it,” reported Lindsey after approaching Finnegan and his sister.

Huh? This can’t be real, can it? Could that car really be Rhiannon’s birthday present? Everyone at the scene was utterly dumbfounded as they stared at the little blue piece of document Lindsey pulled out.

Even Rhiannon herself was stupefied. “Lindsey, this is mine?”

Unable to accept the fact that her limelight got stolen, Amelia walked over and snatched the document. “This has to be fake. Rhiannon’s family is broken, so how could her brother afford to get her something worth nearly two million? It’s impossible…”

When Amelia read the document, she realized that Rhiannon’s name was actually on it and that information shown matched the vehicle in front of her.

Like Amelia, Xandra and the others were surprised to learn the authenticity of the document. Is Rhiannon’s family actually rich? Have they been hiding it all along?

Finnegan then took the document from Rhiannon and pinched his sister’s cheek lovingly. “There’s no doubt about it. I got this for you as your birthday present. Do you like it?”

When Rhiannon finally confirmed that she was not dreaming, her eyes teared up. “Thank you, Finn!” shouted Rhiannon as she gave her brother a big hug.

She was ready to be humiliated but was surprised by Finnegan instead.

Patting Rhiannon on the back comfortingly, Finnegan uttered. “You’re a big girl, so you shouldn’t be crying. Besides, it’s your birthday today! Let’s go inside.”

“Now I remember!” exclaimed Xandra suddenly, “Rhiannon said her family would be paid a few million in compensation because they were forced to move. This car must be bought with that money.”
