Chapter 613 Wild Imagination
“Mom, I suspect that man isn’t just an average Joe. Don’t piss him off when you meet him next time,” Regan
reminded.
Finley didn’t care much about that. “What is there to be scared about him? We call the police, and they’ll do their
job. They are the ones at fault for getting physical first.”
Regan felt his head hurt. “Mom, I’m going to tell you the truth. I saw Issa at the hospital earlier and the man you
said. The man seemed close to Kingsley and wasn’t someone we can afford to cross.”
Regan was well aware of his social status and knew he couldn’t afford to offend someone with higher social
standing.

Everyone had their own circle and his circle couldn’t even compare to Kingsley’s.
Shock filled Finley’s eyes. “You saw her earlier? Did you teach her a lesson for me? How dare she hit me!”
Regan admonished, “Mom, that is not the point! Issa is not that girl from a few years back. The people she knows
are more powerful than the people I know. I can’t afford to offend them. That Kingsley is the son of the Watts family
from Dellmoor. Do you know that? The people she knows are from Mr. Watts’ circle. If you want to destroy my life,
then go ahead and piss them off.”
Finley was startled at his burst of temper. After a while, she finally processed what he said and started crying in
frustration.
“I was the one wronged. Yet, you’re scolding me? Why don’t you condemn that b**ch? Are you planning to let this
matter slide just like that? Did I get beaten for nothing?”
Regan watched his crying mother and felt his head throbbing.
“What else can we do then? Ask them to compensate us or apologize? Even if they beat you to death, they have a
way to avoid shouldering the responsibility.”
Finley was shocked by his words. “What should we do then?”
“Next time you see Issa, don’t cuss her out. Whatever it is, she’s still my daughter and your granddaughter. It’s not
good for us if others heard about this,” Regan advised his mother.
Finley scoffed with contempt. “Cuss at her? Look at me now. Do you even see how badly I was beaten by her? And
yet you’re asking me to treat her well? Why don’t you ask her to respect me as her elder? You shouldn’t have
married her mother.”
Regan frowned. “Do you think you get to live a good life if I don’t marry her?”
Finley was struck speechless at his refute.
“The people Issa knows are the ones I can’t approach. If we treat her well, she might acquaint us with them. She’ll
know many others in Mr. Watts’ circle if she is well acquainted with him. The company will get to develop on a
greater scale. Don’t you want the upper society to call you Mdm. Finley with respect?”
Regan continued to persuade Finley, feeding into the wild imagination in her mind as though she was already living
life as a part of the upper society and had everyone knocking on her door to fawn at her.
She had stopped yelping in pain, and her eyes glowed with greed. “Will that really happen?”

but don’t offend her. It was true we treated her poorly in the past. Once I apologize to her, I’m sure she’ll forgive
us.”
Finley berated, “We treated her poorly? Did we starve her? Or did we not give her anything to wear? We were the
ones who provided the money for her education. Oh, does scolding her equate to us treating her poorly? Which kid
is never hit or scolded before? From my point of view, she didn’t get hit or scolded enough. That was why she
ended up as an ingrate and came back to beat her elders.”
Regan didn’t want to continue the conversation with his mother.
“Mom, Arissa said she was drugged. Do you know what happened?”
With creases marring his forehead, he eyed Finley suspiciously. She and Heather were the ones responsible for
getting Issa there, so I wasn’t sure if they drugged her then.
Finley averted her gaze and barked, “I don’t know who drugged her. Why do you believe everything she said? Do
you think I’m that kind of person?”
