Chapter 108 He Is Warning Me
“Are you really planning on standing Tyrone up, Finnegan?”
Ať
Dragon Bay at a little over one o’clock in the morning, Alisha wore a puzzled expression on her beautiful face as she stared at Finnegan, who had her drive him home.
He asked me to set things up with Tyrone, yet he’s not planning to go to the man’s place anymore now.
Finnegan, who had been texting Bernice throughout the drive, raised his head. Upon seeing that he had arrived home, he unfastened his seatbelt. “It suddenly occurred to me after some thought that he’s seemingly unworthy of having supper with me. Just call it off.”
Then, he swung open the car door and alighted from the vehicle.
Alisha’s ruby-red lips twitched. “Are you serious? Do you know who he is?”
Narrowing his eyes, Finnegan countered, “Do you think I’m the kind of person who likes to joke around?”
Words cluded Alisha.
A wry smile of exasperation curved her lips. She could tell the man was not joking and seriously wanted to stand Tyrone up.
Since she was not capable of changing his mind, she could only relent. “Okay, then. I’ll explain things to him later. Also, now that the Chomsky family has been dealt with, are you still standing by your decision back then?”
Naturally, she was referring to the fact that he wanted her to go back to Bellridge.
Unexpectedly, Finnegan did not answer that but asked, “What are the Sable family’s capabilities in Jadeborough like?”
The sudden change of subject left Alisha struggling to keep up with him. Still, she was able to reply promptly, saying, “They’re almost ten times stronger than the Chomsky family. However, you’re friends with the Wright family, so it’ll do the Sables no good even if they were comparable to the Langdon family.”
The Wright family was so powerful in Jadeborough that it could rule supreme over the entire city.
Even if the ten prominent families in Jadeborough were to join forces, all it would take to topple them was a single word from the Wright family, much less the Sable family alone.
Subsequently, Finnegan started walking toward Dragon Bay’s No. 1 Villa.
“If one relies on others in everything, it’ll only make oneself incapable of resolving problems. Go home and rest. Also, keep an eye on the Sable family, especially that devious fellow, Liam. I hope you don’t disappoint me again this time.”
Indeed, he initially wanted to have Alisha return after dealing with the Chomsky family. Nonetheless, he knew the blame was not on her entirely, and it would be unfair for him to make her take full responsibility.
On top of that, Tyrone most likely had a hand in the incident that night. Additionally, there was Liam, who liked to resort to underhanded tactics.

If he were to give her the boot for real, there was no one he could use for the time being.
The instant Alisha grasped his meaning, a smile bloomed on her face. “Does this mean you’re rather reluctant to have me leave?”
Regretfully, Finnegan seemingly did not hear her and jumped into the garden with a single leap.
She snorted softly. “This is all on Tristan! Now, I’ve got to start seducing him all over again.”
A brief pause ensued, and a solemn gleam glinted in her eyes. “But what is he planning to do next? Don’t tell me he wants to make a move against Tyrone and Liam?”
Despite racking her brain, she could not figure the man out. Hence, she decided to put that out of her
mind.
She first gave Tyrone a call and informed him that Finnegan was not going to his place anymore.
When Tyrone was notified about that, he was at Tyrone Mansion, which he had spent more than a billion to build.
Surprisingly, he was not the least bit angry. Even his tone remained unchanged. “In that case, you should rest earlier too, Ms. Wahlstrom. We’ll meet next time.”
After ending the phone call, he waved a hand with his face devoid of expression. “Tell the kitchen not to prepare food anymore.”
“Why does it feel like Finnegan stood you up on purpose. Mr. Calandrino?” Leonardo queried.
Taking the two steel balls the girl beside him handed him, Tyrone rotated them slowly. “He’s warning me, reminding me that he knows all too well what I’ve done.”
At that, Leonardo’s expression changed slightly. “How could he possibly know?”
That night back at Ark, Tyrone had already wanted Finnegan dead. Consequently, he gave Rocky fifty million and hinted at him to use the money to kill Finnegan.
Other than that, he had never told anyone about his intention to eliminate Finnegan. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Tyrone chucked meaningfully.
However, he did not answer that question. “I heard that Liam also made an appearance tonight?”
Receiving no reply, Leonardo could only suppress his curiosity and give a dip of his head in affirmation. “Yes. Besides that, according to our information, the authorities only dispatched that many people tonight. because Liam used the Sable family’s connections. Otherwise, Bernice would never have been found so quickly, and our plan wouldn’t have failed so easily!”
“Although he unintentionally botched our plan, he still needs to pay the price!” Tyrone sneered.
“What do you mean by that, Mr. Calandrino?“
“Rumor has it that he’s secretly investigating Finnegan because of Bernice. Figure out a way to get him to
take the lead to be cannon fodder.”
“Understood!” Leonardo replied.

Tyrone stood up and limped toward the back. “But be careful when you’re at it. Don’t ever leave any evidence. Judging from how Finnegan could have the Langdon family and the others help him ruin the Chomsky family, he’s no easy prey!”
Once again, Leonardo answered, “I’ll be sure to be careful!”
Liam, who was in bed right then, probably never imagined that taking false credit for the matter would make him Tyrone’s target.
“Sure enough, God is righteous, and karma will get the evil!”
“This is retribution for Tristan and Killian Chomsky! It’s karma!”
“Tristan Group had thirty billion in assets, but they actually falsified the financial reports to indicate a forty-billion debt. How despicable!”
“Well, they’re finally reaping what they sowed now. Not only are they dead, but their company is also going to be auctioned off!”
The following morning, the news started reporting the investigation of Tristan Group and the deaths of Tristan and Killian.
The neglected problems within Tristan Group all these years were publicized. At the same time, the authorities announced that they would monitor and liquidate the company, auctioning it off soon to pay off the debts and restructure operations.
That aside, the duo’s heinous deeds were also brought to light, including the truth behind the traffic accident at Orchard Road yesterday.
It was for no other reason than to convey to the public that the duo committed suicide for their crimes. last night.
As for the matter of Tristan colluding with Rocky to kidnap Bernice, not a single word of it was mentioned in the authorities’ report. Nor was there anything about it on the news.
Nevertheless, the public was not all that interested in the matter. Only Desmond and Quiana, who had been fretting for the past two days, were overjoyed upon learning that.
That was the happiest day of their life throughout the past five years, even more so than when Finnegan returned home.
It felt as though the dark clouds that had hung over them for years had scattered completely, and they could see the sunlight at long last.
Quiana even shed tears. “Your father and I no longer have to worry about the Chomsky family picking trouble with you now, Finny. Additionally, our family doesn’t need to live in fear anymore!”
The sight of their joy had Finnegan, who had come downstairs following the commotion they made, smile brightly. He felt that everything had been worth it. “Mom, Dad, shall we call Rhia back home to celebrate today?”
Speaking of that, Desmond and Quiana stopped smiling in unison.
Taken aback, Finnegan asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Xavier and Ximena had an accident, so let’s forgo celebrating. Go with me to the hospital to visit them
after eating. No matter what, they’re our few close family members!” Desmond stated.
“Also, Max is still in the hospital. Your Uncle Adrian and his family are spending their days in tears, so never mind about a celebration. I’m also going to visit Max later.”
Finnegan initially wanted to seize that opportunity to ease the tension between his parents and assuage their worries.
Alas, they still had their vicious and materialistic family in mind despite their great joy.
He sighed soundlessly but did not bother saying anything negative in front of them.
“It so happens that I’m going to General Hospital to perform acupuncture on a patient today. I’ll give you
both a ride later.”
Quiana’s eyes lit up, but she said nothing.
Likewise, Desmond wore a thoughtful look on his face.
Unfortunately, Finnegan had already headed toward the dining room and missed the expressions on his parents’ faces.
