BXBX NOVEL Chapter 37 - 37: Scum
Before Luna Green could finish cooking, Finn Lewis’s phone rang. The car dealership had delivered his cars. Finn went downstairs and instructed them to park each vehicle in a different garage. Unexpectedly, the manager from the Flying Horse 4S store was among those who delivered the cars.
“Mr. Lewis, your cars have been delivered. We’ve taken care of the temporary license plates. We’ll handle the vehicle registration as soon as possible, which should be done by tomorrow afternoon. We’ll deliver all the related documents to you,” the manager said with a smile, handing over the car keys to Finn.
“Thank you for the trouble,” Finn nodded appreciatively.
“No trouble at all,” they exchanged pleasantries before the representatives from the Flying Horse and Lanquoma 4S stores departed.
Upon returning to the apartment, Luna’s meal was nearly ready. Her culinary skills were good, at least in the eyes of Finn Lewis, who had dined at the school cafeteria for years.
After dinner, Finn watched TV while Luna cleaned up the kitchen. Glancing at the time, he noticed it was already past ten. Luna hadn’t left yet, and Finn suspected if he hinted at something, she probably wouldn’t leave tonight.
Luna was attractive, but at the moment… Finn could only give a bitter smile. Even if it were Kay Lee herself, he was in no position to take any action.
“Do you know how to drive?” After inviting Luna to sit on the sofa, Finn asked.
“Huh… Yes, ” Luna was slightly flustered and hesitated before answering.
“Thanks for all your hard work today, getting me things and cooking. It’s getting late. Since you know how to drive, take any one of the car keys by the door and drive home. Just return it to me tomorrow, I’m heading to the sales office to handle the garage paperwork, you can just give it to me then,” Finn said cheerily.
“Oh… No, it’s okay. I can take a taxi,” Luna hastily stood up to say.
“It’s late, it’s not safe to take a taxi. Drive home. And don’t worry – even if you scratch the car, I won’t be mad,” Finn reassured her.
“Okay…” After a moment’s hesitation, Luna agreed. She initially planned to leave on her own, but she couldn’t refute Finn’s suggestion and ended up obediently selecting a car key and leaving.
Luna noticed the four sets of car keys. She didn’t dare to take the Ice Horse keys – if she scratched that car, even if Finn didn’t mind, she would be anxiety-stricken. Of the remaining keys, two were for the Flying Horse cars
and one for the Lanquoma. Although she didn’t understand why Finn would buy a Lanquoma, Luna chose what she figured was the cheapest option – the Lanquoma.
Once downstairs, Luna juggled feelings of uncertainty as she looked at the car key. Even though Lanquoma models weren’t the most expensive, the cost was astronomical for Luna. Yet, Finn seemed unconcerned as he handed her the car keys without fear of her driving away forever.
Having worked as a sales consultant for some time, Luna had met many wealthy individuals. None, however, were like Finn.
Walking into the garage, Luna unlocked the garage door using the key Finn had given her. The garage’s sensor light lit up, and Luna was stunned when she identified the vehicle it housed.
Indeed, it was a Lanquoma… However, upon seeing the streamlined silver-grey sports car parked inside, Luna gave a bitter chuckle. This car had to be worth more than two million – close to three million, maybe? How could she have forgotten? Finn Lewis wouldn’t buy a cheap car.
But as Luna already had the keys, she couldn’t return them. In the end, Luna got into the car, delighted by the comfortable seats and excellent driving sensitivity. Her heart settled only after she drove the car out of the compound.
Back in his apartment, Finn Lewis was no longer composing himself like he did in front of Luna. His excitement made him explore the house, touching everything. This was his house, his entirely. As a university student in Celeston City, Finn had broadened his horizons, often dreaming of owning a home here after graduation.
That dream house was now his. Finn could hear the pounding in his chest. After exploring the entire house, Finn, now completely exhausted, lay down on the living room floor. Buying the cars hadn’t given him much excitement as the money came from Zero. However, the money he used to buy the house was earned with his own effort, giving him a completely different feeling. He lay on the floor for a long while before finally getting up. In the afternoon, Luna had left him a couple of computers, both from Company A – one an all-in-one machine with a 24-inch screen and the other a laptop – but they were nowhere near as impressive as his smartphone.
When Finn connected his phone to the computer, he found files transferred from Zero in his phone’s storage. The files were big, totaling four gigabytes, and included not only Robert Thomp’s wealth information but also various dark secrets about the man. Most of the storage was taken up by video files. When he clicked to view two of them, Finn was appalled. After his shock subsided, he felt almost compelled to rush to the school and tear Robert apart.
Damn him! Not only did this bastard prey on female students, but he also secretly recorded videos. Looking at the folders classified by video, Finn saw a startling 127 folders. The earliest was from seven years ago! A wave of rage surged in Finn. This piece of scum could still strut around the university? God, felt like he’d been punched in the gut..
