Chapter 95 Upside Down
Finnegan went upstairs.
Desmond and Quiana, however, did not go to rest as they started quarreling again.
It was only when Finnegan went to the third floor and closed the door behind him that he stopped hearing the two arguing.
He took out his phone and called Rhiannon.
“Rhia, where are you?”
Rhiannon sobbed, “I’m at Ms. Lindsey’s. Finn, have you found out about it?”
“Yeah, I found out when I came back.”
“Finn, how’s Mom and Dad?” Rhiannon sounded upset. “Both Uncle Raymond’s and Uncle Adrian’s families have hurt us before, but Mom and Dad seem to have forgotten about it all. How can they pretend as if nothing has happened?”
“Grudges don’t exist between siblings,” Finnegan said with a sigh. “Also, Mom and Dad aren’t pretending as if nothing has happened, but…”
Finnegan paused and chuckled bitterly.
Both Desmond and Quiana held grudges, but they only held grudges against the other’s siblings while forgiving their own siblings.
Rhiannon asked, “Then what do we do, Finn? If this goes on, there will be more and more chaos in our family.”
“We’ll talk about this again in a few days. You should stay with Ms. Lindsey for the time. being.”
The matter with the Chomsky family was coming to a close. It was tough to swear that Tristan would not do something reckless in his desperation, and Finnegan had to stay
focused.
As long as Raymond’s and Adrian’s families were still around, they would still affect Finnegan’s family,
Yet, Finnegan could not simply make them vanish without a trace.
He had no idea what he should do about them for now.
Ш
Rhiannon knew that Finnegan was feeling even more helpless than she was. She consoled, “Finn, don’t stress yourself out too much. Just pretend that they don’t exist. Also, Ms. Lindsey wants me to ask you when you’re free to do the final treatment for her.”
“We’ll talk about this again a few days later. Go to bed soon.”
After ending the call, Finnegan walked over to the window.
He stared at the lights that illuminated the city a distance away and let out a sigh. “How am I going to let Mom and Dad get a clear look at their siblings’ true nature and stop defending
them?”
If this matter was not resolved, disaster was sure to return.
The next morning soon came.
Arlo, who had been captured by Romona back then but bailed out by Tristan, hurried over to Tristan. “Boss, this is the information on Finnegan’s family. We seemed to have missed something recently.”
Tristan, who had not slept for an entire night, grabbed the file with bloodshot eyes.
Since he could not lay a finger on Finnegan, Finnegan’s family became his next target.
However, when he read the information Arlo had gathered, he grew livid.
He shot up to his feet and slapped Arlo hard. “You b*stard, why didn’t you find out about something as crucial as this earlier? When did Finnegan’s family move into Dragon Bay’s No. 1 Villa?”
Arlo held his aching cheek and replied, “I don’t know what’s going on too, Boss, but Finnegan’s family is really living at Dragon Bay’s No. 1 Villa right now!”
“You useless piece of trash!” In his fury, Tristan kicked Arlo to the ground and threw the file at Arlo. “Are there no limits to this Finnegan Larkin? Jerome gave him Jerome Medical
Clinic, and now he’s even living in the Miles family No. 1 Villa at Dragon Bay?”
For the first time, Tristan felt the pressure in regard to the matter with Finnegan.
It was a pressure he was unfamiliar with.
Arlo asked cautiously, “Boss, should we put a pause on the plan first? Should we find out everything we can about Finnegan first?”
Tristan angrily gave him another kick. “Today is the last day given by Finnegan! Do you think we have more time to do that?” With a vicious glint in his eyes, he continued, “We’ll take the risk and stick to the plan. I refuse to believe that he can turn the world upside down.
Then, he turned around to make a call.
In a cold tone, he said, “We’ve retrieved information on Finnegan’s family, but due to special. reasons, we need to make some changes to the plans. Show Finnegan what we can do, and make him submit to us!”
Not wanting to get irked by seeing his parents, Finnegan woke up around seven in the morning and left Dragon Bay before eating breakfast to head to the General Hospital to perform acupuncture on Soren.
After two days of treatment, Soren could finally sit up with some difficulty. He looked energetic, too.
“Mr. Larkin, you’re such an excellent doctor. I haven’t felt this comfortable in years.”
“Old Mr. Caulder, please don’t call me in such a polite way. You can simply call me by my name or Finn.”
Soren let out a boisterous chuckle. “All right. I hope you won’t mind me calling you Finn.“
“Old Mr. Caulder, you’re a giant in the education industry, so how could I possibly mind that?’
In an attempt to stop Soren from continuing the pleasantries, Finnegan changed the topic and said, “Did Mr. Caulder not come today?”
“He has neglected much work to take care of me lately, so now that I’m fine, I asked him to return to his work. In a week or two, I’ll be celebrating my eightieth birthday. I’m sure William has told you about this, right?”
“Mr. Caulder has indeed mentioned this yesterday. Will it be okay if I bring someone with me?”
In a week or two, Desmond would be able to walk freely.
Finnegan was thinking of taking him along to Soren’s birthday celebration, hoping to ask for a favor from William to have Desmond re-enter the education world.
The family was in turmoil because of Raymond’s and Adrian’s families. Desmond would probably not have the time to argue with Quiana if he had a job.
Soren smiled and nodded. “Of course. You can bring as many people as you like. They’ll all be esteemed guests of our family”
“Why, thank you, then”
After chatting with Soren for a while, Finnegan excused himself.
Stephen had arrived at the hospital to pick him up to treat his cousin, Waylynn.
“Come quickly! There has been an accident at Orchard Road! Get in the ambulance if you have nothing on hand!”
“It’s a traffic accident caused by a dump truck entering the city illegally! Over a dozen cars have been caught in the accident, and one of them even rolled away seven to eight meters before getting stopped by other cars!”
“Hurry up! The wounded are waiting for us. Time is of the essence!”
When Finnegan came to the first floor, he found the lobby in chaos. Dozens of medical staff members were towing all kinds of equipment and medical kits into the ambulance.
Finnegan halted in his tracks. It was only after the ambulances drove off with their signature sirens that he walked out of the hospital. “Life is unpredictable.”
He headed toward the parking lot where Stephen was waiting beside an ordinary black car.
“Mr. Wright, I’ve been wondering since yesterday, but isn’t this car a little too low-key for you?”
Stephen smiled as he opened the door for Finnegan. “I’d like to keep a high profile, but my grandpa said that privileged people tend to be outcasted and hated by others. If I were to show off my status, I’d only make them angrier, so I have to keep a low profile.”
“Old Mr. Wright is right.” Finnegan chuckled and got into the car.
Right then, his phone rang. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
It was a call from Desmond, whose hand could now function normally.
The second Finnegan picked up the call, he heard Desmond’s anxious voice. “Finn, your Uncle Raymond just called to say that Xavier and his sister were in an accident! Hurry back and come with me to check it out!”.
Hearing that reminded Finnegan of the ambulances that had departed earlier.
He raised a brow and said, “Dad, there’s no point for us to go. We’ll only be troubling the medical team on site. Let’s visit them once they’re admitted to the hospital.
With that, he ended the call.
He rubbed his chin and muttered, “If only they were all dead.”
That way, he would not need to tolerate them and show them mercy all the time.
