Damn it! Norton James almost swore out loud, stingy, hell, can you find me a nationwide endorsement contract worth 150 million a year? Do you really think money grows on trees? Stingy? Damn, I’ve never been called stingy in my life by anyone.
Norton James’s face turned instantly as constipated, his face all red, holding back his anger he said, “Mr. Lewis, you’re here to cause trouble, right? An endorsement contract of 150 million Federation Currency, are you joking? Can you find such a high endorsement contract on any star in any country in the world?”
“Who knows.” Finn Lewis shrugged, completely ignoring the murderous look in Norton James’s eyes. He calmly spoke then without waiting for Norton James’s reply, he continued, “If it’s 150 million Flame Nation coins, I think Kay, you don’t have to take this contract, it would be too tiring.”
“Yes. I’ve already refused.” Kay Lee was also holding back her laughter, she knew it. How could Finn Lewis possibly agree with his opponent? It’s already pretty good that he didn’t immediately start throwing money around. He probably took into consideration that they were in her house, otherwise, Finn Lewis probably would have exploded long ago. Kay understands Finn’s character very well.
Hearing Kay Lee’s words, Norton James almost spat blood. All his previous efforts were in vain. Not only did he lose the domineering atmosphere of splashing money, even the pressure he created by using the relationship between Kay Lee’s grandfather and his own grandfather was gone. At this point, he couldn’t bring up the past, could he? That would truly be threatening the other party then, Norton James couldn’t do such a face-losing thing.
Seeing that things were not going as planned, Norton James gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn’t vent his anger here. After all, here was his grandfather’s comrade’s home, if he dared stir up trouble here, his grandfather would probably break his legs, his father would not support him either. After all, their family still needed his grandfather’s connections. His grandfather still held sway in their home, even his father did not dare to contradict him.
However, not saying a word didn’t suit Norton James’s character. So he stared at Finn Lewis, his teeth grinding, and uttered in a low voice, “Mr. Lewis, I don’t know where you got your qualifications from? Today’s occasion is not quite right. When I get the chance, I would really like to have a conversation with you.”
“Oh, me? I’m Kay’s boyfriend. I came back this time to meet Grandfather Davis, and then I’m planning to marry Kay.” Finn Lewis looked at him indifferently, and then said directly.
When Finn’s words came out, everyone was stunned. The Davis family was fine, they all knew that Finn was brought back by Kay Lee. Although Kay didn’t explain in detail to them, they knew that it was the old man’s birthday and Kay had brought back a man at this time, and she clearly said it was her boyfriend. Could the relationship be clearer?
Neither Elegant Sky nor Norton James knew this. Finn’s words left both men somewhat taken aback. Finn’s words were already too obvious; at this time, anyone could tell that Finn was provoking Norton.
“As for where I got my qualifications from, I wouldn’t dare to claim I have any, I’m just running a small company. I am nothing compared to Mr. James, often needing Kay’s financial aid.” Finn Lewis said indifferently.
“You aren’t ashamed to say that?” Norton James is not a pushover.
“Why should I feel ashamed? I think that when two people are in love, money is not the most important thing. As long as they are in love, it doesn’t matter who the money belongs to, right? You agree with me, right Kay?” Finn Lewis grinned and said.
“Yes.” Kay Lee nodded honestly, cooperating well. The faces of the surrounding people were filled with disdain. Damn, they had seen shameless people before, but never one who spent a woman’s money and spoke so confidently. Probably only Finn Lewis was capable of that.
“Kay, don’t you think what this man is saying makes sense?” Wendy Davis who was beside her couldn’t help asking. Although she didn’t intend to help Norton James, Finn’s words were too shameful, so Wendy Davis couldn’t help it.
Kay Lee glanced at Wendy Davis, then nodded lightly and said, “I really think so. As long as two people like each other, that’s enough. Does it matter whose money it is? Many women shout about gender equality every day, and many white collar workers claim women are not inferior to men. So what’s wrong with a woman earning money for a man to spend? You think women should spend men’s money and men should earn more than women, then why shout about gender equality?”
These words from Kay Lee ignited a thumbs-up in Finn’s heart. Didn’t expect this, Kay Lee’s ability to switch topics and deftly side-step issues was impressive. Being a celebrity must endow you with such skills, clearly intended to handle the press and media.
“But…” Wendy Davis was immediately silenced. Norton James, on the other hand, scoffed, “I have no objections. I just find someone like you, very contemptible. Though what you said is correct, as a man, you should strive hard, right? If you work hard and still do not earn as much as Kay, I can understand. But you can’t lag too far behind, right? If you don’t even bother to try, then what’s the difference between you and a parasite? You are quite brazen.”
“So what? Anyway, you and I are of the same kind. If you can afford a 150 million Federal coin one-year endorsement fee, then I’ll admit, you’re better than me.” Finn Lewis shrugged, speaking carelessly.
“You…” Norton James was almost about to vomit blood. Damn, is this the same thing? But with Finn’s words, he really didn’t know how to rebut. But having been stumped by Finn for a moment, Norton James quickly said, “I can’t, but can you? Have the guts to do it yourself.”
“I can’t, but I never said I could. I’m just standing sincerely among the crowd. It’s you who said it openly. You said it, and yet you couldn’t do it. Isn’t that just showing off? If you were talking about Flame Nation coins from the beginning, why didn’t you say so? You purposely just said 100 million, without even mentioning the unit. I thought you were awesome until the very end, leaving the unit up to whoever could guess it. Oh right, you didn’t say the unit, were you waiting for Kay to agree, and then you could say, it’s 100 million Southland Country Currency right?” Finn Lewis raised an eyebrow, nonchalantly looking at Norton James.
“I…” Norton James inhaled deeply; this time, he didn’t even say a word. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to hold back and would end up swearing out loud, which would be utterly humiliating. But this bastard was too damn despicable. Norton James felt he couldn’t hold back. He had to find a way to teach him a lesson.
