Chapter 147: Decision - Part 1

"A lot." Finn Lewis hesitated for a moment, scared to utter the actual figure. He feared scaring his parents. This was also why he didn't go home immediately. Some things are not as easy to explain as you would like them to be.

"A lot? How much is that? It isn't in the millions, is it?" Fay Wells exclaimed in surprise.

"Several tens of millions." Seeing his mother guessing like this, he figured it would take her forever to arrive at the right amount. So, Finn simply delivered the number straight up.

"Several tens of millions?!" Not just Fay, but even Hazel Lewis was shocked. He couldn't help but glance at Finn and asked, "You didn't engage in anything illegal, did you?"

"Dad," Finn chuckled, somewhat helpless, "what illegal activity could bring in so much money? That's several tens of millions. Even if I robbed a bank, there wouldn't be that much cash inside."
