Chapter 275

Thorn’s face went from red to pale, completely lost for words, and could only glare at Finn in utter frustration.

“Sienna, go wait for me in the room. I’ll take him to the ward,” Enoch said.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you,” Sienna replied.

As soon as Sienna left, Thorn jerked his hand away and snapped, “I don’t need your fake kindness. You’re totally doing this on purpose, just to mess with me, aren’t you?”

Finn gave him a genuinely confused look. “I really don’t get what you mean. I was the one who suggested you come on board. You got hurt saving me, so of course I should look after you. Wouldn’t you say so?”

Thorn felt a surge of frustration burning inside him. No matter what he said, he just came off as petty, unreasonable, and impossible to please.

But Finn always sounded so reasonable. He thought, “He’s always the good guy, always playing the saint, unshakable as ever. Damn it!

“I don’t need your help. I’ll go by myself,” Thorn snapped, shoving him aside and limping away.

Evan Ash watched him limp away. Clearly he knew if one wanted what’s good for him, never cross Mr. Eaton.

“Mr. Eaton, what else should I do?” Evan asked.

“It’s fine. He asked for it, talking trash about Sienna right in front of me.” Finn believed he really had no clue about Sienna.

Sienna got interested in jade too, so she decided to appraise some pieces with Finn.

Vivian Hart was still working in the car, while Nathan Winslow was slumped in his seat, looking completely drained. He’d been stuck with her all night, and he couldn’t help but wonder, “Who the hell negotiates business until dawn?”

He was getting paid ten grand for this, but it felt like a raw deal.

As he thought about it, he glanced over at Vivian’s gorgeous face. Suddenly, he felt like maybe he was actually coming out ahead.

Vivian finished reviewing the last of the data, shut her laptop, and rubbed her temples. She remembered how Nathan had stuck by her all night, playing the perfect escort and keeping a lot of people at bay.

“Nathan, I’m really sorry for keeping you up all night. Let’s grab something to eat, then I’ll take you home. I’ll pay you an extra grand,” she said.

Nathan opened the door, then walked around to her side and held it open for her.

“It’s fine! You’re my new client. If you ever need this kind of thing again, just come to me—though my rates might be a bit higher next time.”

Vivian smiled. “Alright, I’ll definitely come to you.”

“Much appreciated.”

When Wayne heard that Finn was about to come back, he suddenly felt a wave of unease. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even notice the cigarette burning his fingertips.

It wasn’t until Nora Sinclair walked in and smacked his hand away that he snapped back to reality.

“Wayne, what are you doing? Why are you zoning out?” Nora asked.

Nora asked the bodyguard she had sent out, and he told her everything.

Wayne replied, “I’m fine. What are you doing here?”

Nora flopped down in a chair. “What, I can’t come? Seriously, you’re always so hesitant. If I were you, I would’ve already made a move by now. But look at you, still acting like a clueless fool.”

Wayne would have argued back, but this time, he just slumped down in defeat. He poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down.

“You’re right.”

He was always so hesitant, so scared. He was terrified that if he ever crossed that line, Sienna would hate him, cut him out of her life forever. She might even end up resenting him.
