Chapter 77: The Cruel World (Part one)

Zoe hesitated to enter the house where Finn Lewis lived. It took quite some convincing from Finn to get her inside. Once she was inside, her eyes were immediately drawn to the beautiful interior. “Uncle, is this your house? It’s so beautiful! I wish I could live in a big house like this!” Starry-eyed Zoe exclaimed.

“Good. If you want to live here, how about we reside here from now on?” Finn quickly kneeled down and answered. It was perfect for Finn that the little lass liked living here; he was worried about how to break the news to her.

“Well… but I need to take care of my grandma. She’s ill. This house is beautiful, uncle, but I think you should take me home tomorrow.” Zoe thought it over, then reluctantly expressed her thoughts. Finn saw a glimpse of the girl who stood in front of the ice cream cart again.

Finn couldn’t help but stand up quickly and rub his now-reddened eyes. Perfect timing – someone rang the doorbell. Fishy Wells, who knew the door code, had arrived. Fishy lived in the same complex.

“Sir.” Fishy was a little nervous, but when she entered the room and saw the grimy little girl, she instantly felt her heart lighten up and curiously greeted her.

“You’ve come at a good time. Let me introduce you; this is Amber Green.

Chloe… this beautiful sister is Fishy Wells. Would it be good if you call her ‘Sister Fishy’ and ask her to give you a bath and wash your hands?” Finn spoke to the little girl.

“Okay! Thank you, Sister! But if I call you my sister, should I call you my brother?” Zoe looked up and blinked at Finn.

“Good, good. You can call me ‘Brother.”‘ Who likes to be an uncle! Finn was delighted. The little girl was smart. He quickly agreed.

“You take her for a bath, later on, I will tell you where she comes from.” Finn quickly told Fishy.

Fishy nodded, then bent down, smiled at Zoe and said, “Zoe, your sister will take you for a bath.” After saying that, she led Zoe to the bathroom on the first floor. After taking a few steps, Fishy looked back and told Finn, “Sir, you should call Julia and ask them to buy some children’s clothes.”

“Oh, right. You go give her a bath.” Finn nodded, just remembering this.

Fishy took Zoe to have a bath, while Finn picked up his phone and called Julia Parker. He didn’t ask where to get the clothes; his employees would handle this, or what was the point in hiring them?

After a few minutes, Fishy came out of the bathroom, “She is soaking in there on her own, I’ll go in and help in a while,” Fishy said.

“Well thiq iq thiq little Oirl’q qtnrv ” Finn thnncyht for n rnnmpnt and decided tn

conceal some parts of Chloe’s origins from Fishy, just telling that the girl picked up empty drink bottles to support herself and her grandma. Her grandma had passed away due to a late-state liver cancer, but she was still unaware of this. Finn didn’t mention the part about the kidnapping.

Even so, as he finished his words, tears welled up in Fishy’s eyes. She looked at Finn with teary eyes and said, “Sir, I know it’s wrong to say this, but since you have the ability, why not just adopt her? Otherwise, sending her to an orphanage, who knows what could happen. If you don’t want to adopt her, I

can. ”

“Don’t worry. Now that I’ve brought her home, I can’t ignore her. But if I recall correctly, neither you nor I can adopt a child. I’ll have to ask my parents to come,” Finn said with a smile.

“Right.” Fishy nodded quickly.

“Okay, go inside quickly. She may be anxious if you are late. Remember not to say anything.” Finn reminded her. >

Fishy nodded and went in to help Zoe take a bath. Finn sat on the sofa feeling a bit troubled, wondering how to break the news of her grandma’s death to Zoe. What a predicament!

After contemplating for a good long while, Finn thought of a way. He picked up his phone and dialed the phone number of the middle-aged policeman whose number he had kept. He headed upstairs while on call.

The call was picked up quickly, and the familiar voice of the middle-aged policeman greeted him, “Hello, who is this?”

“Officer Cowley, it’s me, Finn, the one who paid for Auntie King’s funeral.” Finn introduced himself. “Oh, it’s Mr. Lewis. Hello, hello.” The middle-aged policeman greeted warmly and unexpectedly.

For them, having connections with the wealthy was good. They were just ordinary policemen, but these rich people, who knew their potential? “So, the little girl has been found and was brought to me,” Finn said without delay.

“Ah? Found her? That’s good.” The middle-aged policeman answered cheerfully.

“But there’s another problem; I might need your help.” Finn thought about it. It was impossible for him to hide from the police completely. Especially how Zoe got back, it was a problem. Therefore, he had to be clear with the police.

“What problem? Just say it. If I can help, I certainly will. After all, aren’t we police here to solve problems?” The policeman declared immediately.

“This is the thing; the little girl has indeed been taken away. What it is for, I don’t know. They demanded five million from me before they sent her back. Of course, I’m telling you, Officer Cowley, not because I want to hold them accountable. This is police work, I don’t want to pursue this matter anymore. As for whether or not you should pursue it, that’s not for me to say. But what I

want to say is, the girl doesn’t know her grandma has passed away. But you Imow what she should do in the future. She’s basically an orphan now.” Finn carefully weighed his words before continuing.

Officer Cowley was stunned for a moment before he understood. He knew exactly what Finn meant. From a kinder perspective, Finn is saying that he paid five million to bring the child back, but from a harsher perspective, this is a case of kidnapping and extortion! However, if Finn didn’t want to pursue it, how they handled it was the police’s business. But surely, what Finn wanted to say was not this.

Then, Finn explained his plans to the police officer. Upon hearing this, the officer immediately agreed to help. After all, this was not a big deal, just a white lie told with good intentions. For the little girl, this could not have been better news.

“But Mr. Lewis, you can’t adopt the child, just like you said. If you want to adopt, you need to bring your parents over. As for the procedures, I can help.” This middle-aged policeman sighed and then spoke. Zoe was very lucky to be adopted by Lewis. Her life would be very different from now on. While this didn’t have much to do with him, he was still willing to do this good deed.

“Officer, don’t worry. I’ll bring my parents over as soon as I can for the adoption procedure.” Finn nodded and assured him..
