“You’re really bold, Calvin Lowe. Who allowed you to do such an inhumane thing?”

Calvin Lowe had called Dirk Larson over to speak up for him and subdue Knox Eaton, but he hadn’t expected the other to turn against him. “Boss, what do you mean? I’m your brother-in-law!”

“Nonsense—we don’t even meet that often. Do I know you?”

Calvin Lowe was stumped. ‘I just had a meal with the other a few days ago. At that dinner, the latter had personally called me his brother-in-law, telling me to use his name if U ever got into trouble. It has only been a few days, yet the other is now abandoning me.’

“You can’t do that, Boss.”

“Do what?” Dirk Larson landed a punch on his wife’s cousin.

Although Calvin Lowe’s body was covered in tattoos, he was a wimpy man. Conversely, although Dirk Larson looked like a gentleman, he had gotten to his position by fighting his way up.

His single blow left Calvin Lowe lifeless on the ground.

“Auntie, I want another donut. Do you still have more?” Finn Taylor didn’t even glance over, focusing only on his donut. He then turned to Sarah Eaton. “Have you forgotten to give me something?”

The young lady had yet to recover from the shock of learning of her childhood friend’s true identity. ‘He managed to summon both Knox Eaton and Dirk Larson here with just a phone call, and the two men treated him as though he was their own father. Who is he? Why is he so powerful?’

“Huh?” Something suddenly popped up in Sarah Eaton’s mind, and she handed the man a lollipop. “Here you go.”

As Finn Taylor took it from her, she asked, “Are you still my younger brother?”

He smiled widely and answered, “What, have we grown distant just because we haven’t seen each other in a while?”

Seeing that smile, Sarah Eaton finally calmed down. ‘Finn hasn’t changed. He’s still that little boy and my friend.’

“What are you still doing here? Don’t you see that you’ve startled my friend?”

Finn Taylor’s comment frightened Dirk Larson, and the two men dragged Calvin Lowe away.

When everyone had left, Sarah Eaton sat down. “Thank you, Timothy.”

“Why do you have to thank me? I didn’t do much.”

“Why are you so influential now?”

“I’m not. I just happened to know them.”

A wild idea popped up in Sarah Eaton’s mind. “Timothy, are you their boss?”

Before Finn Taylor could say anything, Sarah Eaton’s mother cut in. “What nonsense are you saying, Sarah?”

Her impression of Knox Eaton and Dirk Larson was that they were both bad men who bullied the weak. If Finn Taylor was their boss, it meant that he was even worse than those men.

That was why Sarah Eaton’s mother was so agitated.

“What stories are you cooking up all day? If I was their boss, do you think they’d still be alive?”

It was true that Finn Taylor wasn’t the boss of either man. There were probably seven or eight levels that separated them, so Finn Taylor wasn’t exactly telling a lie.

At least, that was what he thought.

“Will they take revenge on me in the future?” Sarah Eaton suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

Although the men hadn’t said much on the surface, they would definitely take revenge after getting bullied. That was also why most were afraid to provoke them.

Thus, Sarah Eaton was afraid that this would be the case.

“Don’t overthink it. I’m on quite good terms with them, so I’m sure they’ll do me this favor.” Because his childhood friend was so timid, Finn Taylor didn’t know how to explain the matter to her and could only say that.

Even though the young lady was still doubtful, she didn’t have a clue about the truth either, so it was better to just ignore everything.

“Oh, right. Timothy, I’m going to a gathering tomorrow. Can you attend it with me?”

“What kind of gathering is it?”

“Just a small one with my friends. They all have a plus-one; I’m the only one who doesn’t.”

It didn’t mean much to Finn Taylor to attend it, so he agreed to it. “Alright, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

Sarah Eaton was overjoyed because the man had agreed to attend the gathering with her and because she had reconnected with her friend.

One’s childhood friends were always unforgettable.

…

The next day, Finn Taylor drove over in a pink Maserati that cost about a few hundred thousand dollars.

Finn Taylor had looked around in the garage for a long time, and this car seemed to be the most normal and suitable for young ladies.

He cherished his childhood friendship, so he was going to gift the car to Sarah Eaton.

When he appeared in front of Sarah Eaton’s house with the Maserati, the latter was clearly stunned. In her memories, Finn Taylor was still that impoverished young boy who only had money for a donut. She always had to give him a lollipop for free.

Now that they had lost contact for a few years, Finn Taylor had suddenly struck it rich! He was now driving a Maserati worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!

The man placed the car key on the table. “Auntie, I’ll have two donuts.”

“Oh, ok.” Knowing that Finn Taylor was coming, Sarah Eaton’s mother had already prepared donuts for the former.

“Timothy, your car is so pretty.” Sarah Eaton stroked the car gently.

“Oh, you like it? It’s yours then.” Finn Taylor pushed the key toward the girl.

“Huh?” Sarah Eaton was stunned for a moment before she quickly shook her head. “No, no. I can’t take this from you.”

“Sarah, I suffered a lot as a child, and you were the only one who gave me some warmth. You have to accept my gift.”

Even so, Sarah Eaton merely shook her head. “Timothy, what do you take me for? I only treated you well because I thought of you as a friend. Did you think I did it to be recognized?”

Finn Taylor waved her off, knowing that he couldn’t force the car on the girl. “Alright then. Why don’t you do me a favor?”

“What help do you need?”

“Well, cars break down if they’re left unused for a long time. I’ll be leaving Chicago for a while, so why don’t you help me take care of the car and return it when I return to Chicago?”

“This…”

“What, didn’t you say you were a good friend of mine? Then, why are you trying to refuse my request now? It’s clear you don’t treat me as your friend.”
