The Mischievous Doctor (Finnegan and Nuthana) novel Chapter 437

The expressions on the faces of Frankie and his daughter changed completely.

Indeed, their journey had been a clandestine one, with no one being informed about it.

The purpose was indeed as Finnegan had stated.

They wanted to forestall Maxim to convince Finnegan to take action to treat Devin.

In that case, Devin would inevitably hand over the Gallagher family to them.

Even if Devin wouldn't do so, when the time came to divide the family property, they were bound to receive a larger share than others.

Unexpectedly, Finnegan saw right through it all at just one glance.

Because of that, Frankie realized that Finnegan was not the kind of young man he had encountered in the past. Looking at Finnegan, his gaze became more serious and solemn. “Mr. Larkin, you truly are extraordinary. No wonder you can attract so many elites from Nuthana to gather around you! But I would also ask Mr. Larkin not to laugh at me. My father has too many children. We always have to fight for things ourselves.”

Frankie's demeanor as he spoke appeared sincere.

However, Finnegan did not let his guard down because of that.

Waving his hand, he said, “Mr. Frankie Gallagher, there's no need for you to say these things. We both understand what's going on. Let's hear your thoughts instead. I believe you must have had some ideas before you came!”

Frankie's expression turned solemn after he heard that, and he began treating Finnegan more seriously.

Immediately putting aside his schemes, Frankie spoke straightforwardly. “I won't beat around the bush, then. As long as you agree to treat my father and can cure him, I will pay you two hundred billion once I become the head of the Gallagher family.”

He paused for a moment, then beckoned Lauren to step forward. “Also, from now on, Lauren will be your woman. You can have her do whatever you wish!”

Frankie offered two hundred billion plus his own daughter.

It was evident that Frankie was determined to secure the position of the Gallagher family's head.

It was also evident that Frankie was a very scheming individual.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have used his own daughter as a bargaining chip!

Finnegan's wariness toward him inevitably increased a notch. “Two hundred billion plus your daughter?”

“That's right!” Frankie responded solemnly. “As long as you agree, I will fulfill the promise of giving you two hundred billion once I become the head of the Gallagher family. As for Lauren, starting from today, she can stay by your side.”

“Hahaha!” Upon hearing his promise, Finnegan couldn't help but laugh.

Frankie's expression turned slightly sour after he saw that. “Mr. Larkin, what are you laughing at?”

Finnegan stifled his laughter and spoke. “Hailey, see the guest out!”

“Mr. Larkin?” Frankie got to his feet anxiously. “Do you feel the offer isn't lucrative enough? If so, I can add another fifty billion. Besides, I also have a few daughters.”

Finnegan stared at Frankie, his face devoid of any smile. “Mr. Frankie Gallagher, aside from your daughter, everything else is just empty promises. Do you take me for a fool?” Putting aside the fact that Frankie may not necessarily become the head of the Gallagher family, even if he can assume the position, how will he fulfill the promise of giving me two hundred and fifty billion? The Gallagher family isn't owned by a single person. The four hundred billion personal assets of Devin can't be handled arbitrarily just because one becomes the head of the family. In other words, apart from his daughter, Frankie's promise at that moment is nothing more than an attempt to cheat my assistance without putting in any effort!

With a frown, Frankie said, “Mr. Larkin, I indeed lack the ability to liquidate two hundred and fifty billion in cash. However, I can make good on it with the assets of the Gallagher family when the time comes. That should be acceptable, right?”

However, Finnegan had already lost interest in discussing further. “Hailey, are you deaf?”

Hailey raised her hand and said, “Please leave.”

Knowing that there was no room for further discussion, Frankie said, “Mr. Larkin, I still hope you will consider it. Here is my business card.”

Finnegan said, “Since it's a special day for your family, I will definitely be there.”

After exchanging a few sweet nothings, they ended the call.

“Dad, Finnegan has already refused us, so what should we do? If Uncle Maxim's family manages to persuade him, our already limited competitive edge will diminish even further.” Inside an ordinary sedan navigating through a sea of cars, Lauren wore a furrowed brow.

Her charming eyes were filled with a solemn look.

With a cold voice, Frankie said, “Don't worry. If we can't persuade this obstinate brat, your Uncle Maxim's family won't be able to either. Otherwise, why would your uncle have bothered to reach out to Loang Medical Council and foreign medical teams?”

Upon reflection, Lauren realized the words made sense and nodded in agreement.

She then asked, “So, are we going to return to Glenport discreetly or should we continue to stay in Jadeborough?”

Frankie massaged his temples and said, “According to the information relayed by my spy, if no one can save your grandpa this time, he will soon pass away. We must stay in Jadeborough to prevent your Uncle Maxim's family from forging an edict!”

Upon hearing that, Lauren scoffed. “Do they dare?”

“Do you think they wouldn't?” Frankie sneered coldly. “Normally, your Uncle Maxim may seem modest and polite, but he can be quite cunning. Before coming to Jadeborough, he had already contacted your grandpa's personal lawyer to probe to see if he could fabricate your grandpa's will! If it weren't for my spy in the law firm, do you know what the consequences would be?”

That implied that if Maxim had succeeded, he would be able to inherit everything from the Gallagher family through a forged will.

Lauren exclaimed in surprise, “I never thought that Uncle Maxim could be so despicable. But there's no use in us staying and just watching!”

Narrowing his eyes in deep thought for a moment, Frankie said, “Try to get closer to Finnegan using your method. Although we're not sure if he can cure your grandpa, right now he is our greatest hope. So, if possible, we must place our hopes on your grandpa. Only then can we rightfully take control of the Gallagher family!”

Lauren nodded gently. “I understand!”
