Chapter 490 Reasons
When the mention of stealing a seal was made, Oscar felt a bit excited. This was indeed going to be a big move.
"Mr. Stone, when do you need it? I'll get it for you."
Oscar, a sly and cunning individual, had no idea about the true dangers of stealing a seal. He only knew that by bringing Finnegan down, he could elevate himself.
Oscar sought revenge and also coveted the Abbott family's business.
Deacon said, "The sooner, the better."
"Alright, Mr. Stone. I'll get it for you tomorrow." Oscar continued to play dumb and crazy. All ideas came from Deacon.
Oscar was the person Deacon had placed within Abbott's Corporation. The last time the company's data was stolen was Oscar's doing, resulting in significant losses for the company.
Oscar saw Deacon as his savior, believing that Deacon could help him gain control of Abbott's Corporation and teach Finnegan a lesson.
Deacon took another drag of his cigarette and said, "You should get a driver's license as soon as possible. How can you manage without one?"
A man who can't drive will find many tasks inconvenient.
Naturally, Oscar didn't mention that he had once accidentally killed someone in a car accident and was too afraid to drive. He agreed verbally, "Alright, I'll find time to learn. Mr. Stone, I'll head back now."
"Alright," Deacon replied expressionlessly.
After Oscar got out of the car, Deacon remained seated inside without instructing the driver to start the vehicle.
After a while, Deacon told the driver, "Take me to the old house."
"Yes, Mr. Stone," the driver started the car.
An hour later, Deacon's car arrived at the outskirts and entered a village.
The roads here were narrow, so the car had to be parked outside the village. Deacon got out and walked in, unaware that he was being followed.
After seeing Deacon enter the village, a shadow in the dark made a phone call. "Mr. Abbott, I saw Deacon enter Stone Village with my own eyes."
Deacon entered a rundown house in the village. Even the door was old and made of wood.
This was where Deacon's parents had lived before. Deacon had bought this house, which had been abandoned for a long time.
Deacon's parents had worked tirelessly day and night to send him abroad for studies, sacrificing a lot.
Deacon had always dreamed of returning after his studies to take care of his parents, but he never got the chance.
A car accident took his parents away.
At that time, Deacon worked hard for ten years to reach his current position and seek justice for his parents.
It was Deacon who had sent the video of Sybil being run over to Atticus, with the intention of showing Finnegan that ten years ago, Finnegan had also killed two people on that road, Deacon's parents.
However, after the video was sent, there was no response from Finnegan's side. This made Deacon furious.
'Had Finnegan forgotten those two lives he had taken ten years ago? Were the lives of those two people so insignificant to Finnegan?' he thought.
Deacon sat on the steps of the old house, reminiscing about the time spent with his parents. The memories of playing at the doorstep while his mother cooked in the kitchen, the aroma of the food wafting out, were vivid in his mind.
When his father returned from selling vegetables, he patted his head as a habit and then led him inside. The three of them would wash their hands together and sit down to eat, enjoying each other's company.
Though those days were tough, the family of three was happy. Deacon always excelled in school, making his parents proud. The smiles on their faces when he received his college acceptance letter were unforgettable.
Deacon was also happy because he was his parents' pride.
At that time, Deacon silently vowed to grow up and earn a lot of money to provide the best life for his parents.
Now that he was wealthy, with dozens of investment companies under his name and a net worth exceeding billions, his parents were no longer around.
Thinking about this, Deacon's eyes turned bloodshot, and he clenched his fists, whispering to himself, 'Finnegan, I will make you pay."
