Chapter 80 Finn’s Arrival
s
Hearing the man’s voice on the other end, which was soft and calm like a breeze, sent shivers down Tess‘ spine. To her, it sounded more like the devil breathing down her neck.
This madman! That was a direct threat!
Tess trembled in fury, wishing she could punch Max through the phone.
He actually used La’s safety to pressure her!
“Lock Group headquarters, Tess. I’ll be expecting you.”
A low, mockingugh slipped through the speaker, and before Tess could say anything, the line went dead.
A cold chill crept through her body, and her vision spun.
At that moment, Max lounged back in his chair, clearly pleased with himself, even taking a moment to tease La.
But La didn’t give him the slightest attention.
Soon after, the secretary who had stepped out returned looking uneasy. He held his phone and lowered his tone, “Mr. Hunt, it’s Mr. Lock.”
“Finn?”
Max’s eyebrows rose as he nced at his limited–edition timepiece.
He had arranged for everything to happen discreetly, and it was already quitete. Why would Finn be aware?
His expression darkened, a sh of alertness in his eyes. “Tell him I’m already asleep.”
“If you don’t answer within 60 seconds, Lock Group
will shut down one of your project deals.”
Finn’s voice came through like frozen steel, full of menace.
The secretary quickly muted the phone, cold sweat gathering at his temples.
Max’s face dropped immediately.
“Mr. Hunt…*
The secretary gave Max a nervous look as panic flickered across his features.
“He’s already on his way, isn’t he?”
Max’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
The secretary stiffened. The very next moment, someone knocked at the door.
“Mr. Hunt, a representative from Lock Group is here.”
Both Max and the secretary tensed at the announcement.
He had only just sent a message, and Lock Group was already at the entrance?
Max’s brows drew together as he eyed the door.
The secretary stepped toward it, but Max raised a hand to stop him.<fn324d> Read full story at Find★Novel</fn324d>
He moved to open it himself, but the moment his fingers touched the knob, a chill traveled up his arm.
Standing just outside was Finn, with the receptionist beside him, looking lost and panicked.

Finn’s gaze was like ice, cutting straight through Max.
The air seemed to thicken under the weight of his presence.
Their stares collided, like sparks bursting in the silence.
“Mr. Lock Been a while.”
Max was the first to break the silence. There was a faint smirk at the edge of his mouth.
Finn didn’t respond. His eyes flicked past Max.nding directly on the baby on the couch.
La was sucking her fingers, looking back with wide, glistening eyes that could soften any heart.
Finn’s stare sharpened again as he looked back at Max.
He brushed past Max without a word, walked straight in, and picked up La.

Cradling the small bundle in his arms, Finn looked up, his voice like frost. “Max, care to tell me what this is about?”
About whaa!”
Max gave a shortugh, but he was clearly more tense than Finn’s calm yetmanding demeanor.
Finn didn’t flinch. “Unlike Tess. I’m not one you can y with. A year ago, you tried to take us down. That chapter isn’t

The secretary tiptoed forward, clearly wanting to say something, but one look at Max’s furious expression made him hold his
tongue.
“Should we stop him. Mr. Hunt?”
He couldn’t help but ask.
“Stop him” Max spat bitterly. “Do you think that’s even possible?”
The secretary scratched his nose awkwardly
That was Finn, after all–the wealthiest man in Aetheris. Who had the power to stop him?
Max was burning with fury.
A year ago, he’d built the Hunts into a major force, thinking he could crush Finn. But the man’s instincts in business were terrifying he rebounded almost immediately and minimized the damage.
