Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 598 She Was Just a Pawn

"What are you laughing at?" Eleanor frowned in displeasure.

After a moment, Carl stopped laughing, and silence filled the air. His gaze turned wild. "I'm laughing at how foolish the Finches are, being played by me!"

Everyone's expression darkened at his words. Then, they glared at Carl. He was merely a bodyguard. How dare he mock the Finch family?

The madness in Carl's eyes only grew stronger, a smug expression spreading across his puffy, beaten-up face.

"I hate the Finch family! Remember? I'm a Larson..."

Larson? Even Eleanor couldn't understand what he was trying to imply.

But Jonathan said in a low voice, "Michael Larson..."

The sound of the name stunned Carl. He looked at the man he truly feared, never expecting that out of the whole Finch family, Jonathan would be the only one who remembered that name. Michael Larson... After a moment, Eleanor seemed to recall him too. "Michael Larson. Is he your father?"

Carl answered with a cold smile, "Yes. Michael Larson is my father. So, Mrs. Finch Senior, by now you should understand why I hate the Finch family, right?

Michael Larson was part of the previous generation of the Azure Clan. A big family like the Finches would always end up being involved in a power struggle, no matter which generation.

In the generation of Mr. Finch Senior, Michael was one of his trusted confidants. Unfortunately, Michael died during a mission to protect Mr. Finch Senior. He died protecting Mr. Finch Senior. Eleanor stared at Carl as if trying to recall memories about him. "You're his son. I've seen you. That time, you were but a child..."

"Yes. When my father died, I was seven. You took me in out of pity and let me stay with the Finch family for some time. Eleanor remembered that, but she was confused.
