Chapter 40 Who Is He

• But in the midst of Phillip’s gloom, he was interrupted by Finley. The latter, who had been watching the farce from the sidelines, shook his head and smiled. Then, he raised his coffee cup and faced Phillip with a smile. “Today’s banquet has shown me your sincerity. So, I shall forgive your rudeness toward Mariette. I will no longer pursue this matter. But remember this. There will not be a next time.”
• “Mariette doesn’t like me to drink, so I don’t drink often. Today, I will respond to your toast with a cup of coffee.”
