A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 202 Shall We Make A Bet

The banquet was nearing its end.

Except for those close to the Caulder family, the rest of the guests bid farewell one by one.

“Finnegan, most of the guests have left. Where’s your birthday gift?”

Myla, who had long wanted to embarrass Finnegan, chose this moment to speak up.

Everyone at the table, including Trey, gave Myla a sympathetic look.

Through their experience, anyone with intentions toward Finnegan would end up at a disadvantage.

Sasha and Mandy felt this most deeply.

However, Myla, not knowing much about Finnegan, seemed persistent. “It doesn’t matter if you didn’t prepare one. Anyway, saving my grandfather is more valuable than any birthday gift. It’s fine if you lack sincerity.”

Despite saying that, she didn’t bother hiding the mocking smile that spread across her lips.

Finnegan gave her a speechless glance.

She had an attractive appearance and figure, with a particularly charming and elegant temperament.

Unfortunately, she was a little arrogant, and that made people uncomfortable.

Thinking to himself that appearances can be deceiving Finnegan decided to give Myla a lesson. “Ms. Caulder, I indeed have prepared a birthday gift. It’s not just any gift as it outshines all the gifts given by everyone else. I daresay it’s the best in the world. Do you believe me?”

Myla’s face showed even more disdain.

“Finnegan, did you rely on your eloquence to gain my grandfather’s favor?” she sneered.

“It seems you don’t believe me!” Finnegan feigned displeasure.

Myla had no idea that Finnegan was trying to trick her, so she nodded honestly. “I believe you when you say you’ve prepared a gift, but I don’t believe you when you say your gift will outshine everyone else’s as it is the best in the world!”

Finnegan’s expression darkened. “Do you want to make a bet? If I were boasting, I’d do whatever you say. However, if it is the opposite…”

At this point, Finnegan leaned in a bit, whispering words audible only to Myla.

Myla’s face instantly turned beet red. “Shameless man!”

Finnegan spread his hands. “It seems you do not dare to accept my bet.”
