Chapter 154 The Wright Family Intervenes
‘Grandpa, there’s trouble again!”
Before long, Stephen hurriedly entered Nathan’s courtyard.
As usual, the old man was sitting there.
He was accustomed to resting only after midnight.
Seeing his grandson in such a hurry, Nathan chided, “You’re almost thirty, can’t you be a bit more
composed? Besides, unless the sky is falling, it’s not a big deal.”
Stephen gave a bitter smile. “Grandpa, the sky hasn’t fallen, but Finnegan has surely caused a major
disturbance tonight.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“That troublemaker again? What happened?”
Stephen composed himself and replied, “Earlier tonight, Vilmar and the others planned to use Tyrone’s
men to teach Finnegan a lesson. They even kidnapped the neighbor he grew up with. This enraged
Finnegan, who responded with brutal force. One person is dead, while forty-one are severely injured,
including Vilmar and his two followers, who are also children from wealthy families in Bellridge.
Furthermore, nineteen of these wealthy children were forced to ingest a large amount of alcohol,
leading to severe gastric bleeding. They have been rushed to several different hospitals for emergency
treatment.”
Nathan furrowed his brow. “Explain in detail, and don’t leave anything out.”
Nodding, Stephen shared everything he knew, including the incident where Finnegan had those rich
kids beat up Vilmar and his two friends.
And inexplicably, they let Vilmar and his group go.
After hearing this, Nathan simply responded with a noncommittal hum, his eyebrows relaxing.
Stephen asked in surprise, “Grandpa, don’t you think this matter is very serious?”
“Why would you think that?” Nathan stroked his beard. “These people who rely on their fathers and
grandfathers to throw their weight around deserve to be taken down by Finnegan. Since Finnegan
spared their lives, they should consider themselves lucky!”
With a wave of his hand, he ordered dominantly, “Go and inform the families of these people. Tell them
I am very displeased. Then, have them bring their respective children back and enforce strict discipline.
If I ever hear of such things again, I’ll personally teach those spoiled brats a lesson!”
Stephen widened his eyes. “Grandpa, are you going to clean up Finnegan’s mess?”
Nathan shook his head. “Indeed, I am cleaning up after Finnegan, but it’s also for the sake of stability.
Jadeborough has been in chaos due to the Wahlstrom family and Seth recently. If we let those nouveau
riche from Bellridge come over, it won’t be good for the situation! So when you make the arrangements,
try to keep it low-key as much as possible. We don’t want too many people paying attention to
Finnegan”
He paused before adding, “At least not before he heads to Durbaine!”
Stephen asked curiously, “Grandpa, what other secrets does Finnegan have besides being the
Mischievous Doctor?
He couldn’t help but wonder what secret identity Finnegan must have for Nathan to order him to keep
his l*ps sealed. No matter who asked, he had to keep quiet, even if it were Romona.
Nathan waved his hand and said, “When it’s time for you to know, I will tell you. Don’t ask before that.
All you need to remember is that he is one of the most important people in Durbaine. Besides that,
keep an eye on those Royle family kids, I have a feeling that Finnegan hasn’t really let them off the
hook!”
His heart shuddering slightly, Stephen nodded. “Understood!”
Meanwhile, as the outside world was in so much turmoil due to tonight’s events that even the Wright
family had to intervene, inside a suite of a five-star hot spring resort.
The suite had two bedrooms featuring an automatic hot spring and a 180-degree night view.
Josephine, her emotions considerably calmed, was on the phone while Finnegan was lying on the
couch by the window, gazing at the bustling, brilliant night view.
After hanging up the phone, Josephine walked over, her cheeks slightly flushed. “Finnegan, my mom
knows we’re at a hotel.” she said.
Finnegan was deep in thought.
Upon hearing this, a twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth. “Josephine, that’s not fair! How could
you make it sound like I deliberately brought you here? You’re the one who wanted to come to a hotel!”
He originally planned to take Josephine home, but Josephine expressed her fear that she might
inadvertently say something and cause her mother to worry.
Finnegan thought about it and decided to book a hotel for her to stay overnight to help her calm her
emotions.
Yet now, what she said was practically a misunderstanding waiting to happen.
“Come on, my mom won’t misunderstand.”
Josephine kicked him with her bare foot, then gestured for him to scoot over so she could lie down
beside him. “Why don’t you tell me what happened tonight? Who were those people?”
She paused for a moment before adding, “And who was that woman?”
The mere thought of Alisha, who was enchantingly seductive, left Josephine with an inexplicable sour
taste in her mouth.
Finnegan knew he couldn’t fool Josephine, so he roughly explained the situation.
Upon hearing this, Josephine’s mouth dropped open in surprise. “That’s the eldest son of the Royle
family from Nuthana? The people who captured me were Tyrone’s men? And that woman is the young
miss of the Wahlstrom family from Bellridge?”
Josephine, could you mind your image a bit? Your mouth is open so wide it could catch a fly!”
Josephine scoffed. “I’m not joking with you. What on earth is going on? What are you doing right
now?”
Finnegan stretched lazily and said, “As I just mentioned, offending Vilmar was technically a set-up by
Mandy. As for knowing Alisha, it’s because I saved her grandfather’s life, much like how I cured Mr.
Miles. and Old Mr. Haimowitz!”
Although Finnegan’s words seemed to hold up under scrutiny, Josephine had a feeling he wasn’t telling
the whole truth.
Nonetheless, it was obvious Finnegan didn’t want to speak more about the matter. “It’s getting late, so
I’m off to bed. Let’s pretend tonight’s incident never happened so Mdm. Dickson and my parents won’t
worry, Don’t worry about retaliation, either. They probably won’t have the courage to do it again.”
By the time Josephine snapped back to her senses, Finnegan had already entered the room and
closed the door.
However, he didn’t actually fall asleep. Instead, he switched off the light and lay in bed, releasing a soft
sigh. “The old man was right. Peace has become a luxury since I left the mountains!”
He pondered over everything that had transpired since his departure from the mountains and what the
future held for him.
Firstly, he had successfully eliminated the Chomsky family and achieved his revenge.
Next, he had to worry about Liam, Solomon, Vilmar, and the others.
There was also Tyrone, lurking in the shadows with malicious intentions.
Rubbing his temples, Finnegan couldn’t help but utter, “It seems I should avoid trouble as much as
possible in the future.”
It wasn’t that he was afraid of trouble, but he was apprehensive that those around him might suffer
because of him, just like tonight.
If Vilmar and his group had intended to kill, Josephine would have been long gone by now.
As he thought about this, Mandy’s image appeared in Finnegan’s mind. “No, I must teach that woman a
lesson so she won’t dare to attempt something like this again in the future.”
Just then, a faint sound emanated from the door.
As the door creaked open, a figure sl*pped inside. “Finnegan, I get scared when I think about what
happened earlier after I turn off the lights. Can I sleep with you tonight?”
Finnegan’s l*ps twitched. “Josephine, this isn’t appropriate!”
“I don’t care!” Josephine seemed to revert back to her bossy older sister persona from their childhood.
She approached and lay down beside Finnegan without hesitation, resting one arm and one leg on
him. “We used to sleep together even when you were in high school. There’s nothing inappropriate
about it!”
In the darkness, Finnegan’s eyes widened in surprise. He realized that Josephine was only wearing…
Unable to resist, he said, “Joséphine, it’s not that you can’t sleep here with me, but can we at least
establish clear boundaries
The Josephine of today was no longer the immature girl she once was, but had blossomed into a
mature and stunning beauty.
He feared he wouldn’t be able to resist!
To his astonishment, Josephine suddenly blurted out, “Finnegan, do you have feelings for me?”
