Chapter 7


    The next morning, Finnegan dropped Rhiannon off at the bus that would take her back to campus.


    After that, he went to have breakfast at a café nearby and bought some sandwiches for his parents. He


    had just arrived at the house when he saw three cars parked outside, one of which was a limited


    edition Lamborghini. “Get lost! You are not wee here!” “Leave now, or we will call the police!” He


    heard his parents yelling in anger and fear from outside the door. “I heard Finnegan came back and


    beat up the people I sent to collect the documents. Tell him toe see me. I’ve been keeping him on


    my mind all this while,” said a man in a voice that Finnegan was all too familiar with. That’s Killian!


    Finnegan’s anger, which he had been suppressing for five years, exploded the moment he heard


    Killian’s voice. “Killian!” he shouted while opening the door and entering the house. Desmond’s face


    grew pale when he saw Finnegan. “Finny!” Oh, no! Killian is bound to pick on Finnegan now that he’s


    here! Killian, who looked really dapper as he stood there in a fancy suit, rubbed the scar on his


    forehead and said with a sarcastic sneer, “Ah, so he really is back! The hero who saved the day, huh?”


    Back then, Killian had caught Bernice and was about to force himself on her, but Finnegan came to her


    rescue and smashed his head. Eventually, the Zimmerman family confronted the Chomsky family about


    it and obtained some form ofpensation. This time, he was in charge of a project and had hired a


    bunch of thugs to help withhold the relocation funds until Finnegan showed up and ruined his ns yet


    again. Having been screwed over twice by Finnegan, Killian was so mad at him that he was even


    prepared to kill him. Quiana ran up to Finnegan and tugged at his arm as she said, “Stay out of this,


    Finny! Your father and I will handle this!” She was afraid that Killian would cripple Finnegan the same


    way he crippled Desmond. Finnegan gently patted her on the back of her hand. “I’ll take care of this


    family’s issues from now on, Mom.” Suppressing the urge to kill Killian on the spot, Finnegan red at


    him and asked, “What are you doing here?” Killian ced a cigar in his mouth, prompting a b*dyguard


    toe to light it for him. “I thought you wouldn’t daree back here ever again, but then you


    showed up out of the blue and ruined my ns. Still, I am a reasonable man, so I will give you a


    chance to fix your mistake. I want you to get on your knees and bow to me nine times. After that, I will


    break both your legs and have you sign the agreement to move out without anypensation. The


    thugs you injuredst night need that money for their medical bills. Oh, and I hear your sister has


    matured into quite the woman, so I will have her keep mepany for three to five days.” He then


    tossed the agreement onto the table in front of Finnegan as he continued, “If you agree to all the terms,


    I will consider sparing you and your family. Otherwise… Well, you know what’ll happen…” Finnegan


    was clenching his fists so tightly in anger that his knuckles made cracking noises. Had it not been for


    Quiana holding him back, he would’ve rushed forward and killed Killian in one punch. However, Killian


    was unaware of his capabilities and simply mistook his behavior as a sign of helplessness. “Hurry up


    and make a choice, Finnegan. If you don’t, I’ll do something far worse than what I did five years ago!” “I


    will go to war with you if you so much asy a finger on Finnegan, Killian!” Bernice shouted as she


    came in with her b*dyguards. She hade to bring Finnegan some herbs when she saw what was


    going on. Naturally, she didn’t take too kindly to seeing Killian, who nearly forced himself on her five


    years ago. “Bernice? When did you wake up?” Killian was surprised. He had asked some of the doctors


    who treated Bernice about her condition, and they had all told him that she would not regain


    consciousness ever again. That was why he decided to drop by Finnegan’s house in person when he


    heard that Finnegan had returned. Otherwise, Bernice would have just gotten rid of Python and the


    others the way she did twice in the past. “I’m d to see that you’re all better now, Ms. Zimmerman!”

    Quiana said happily. The icy-cold look on Bernice’s face was reced by a sweet smile as she walked


    up to Quiana and held her hand. “I was able to regain consciousness because Finnegan treated me,


    Mrs. Larkin.” She then blushed slightly as she looked at Finnegan and said, “Thanks for saving my life


    twice.” “What? Finny treated you? Is that true, Finny?” Quiana asked in shock. Finnegan was a little


    stunned by how beautiful Bernice looked in that white dress of hers. “Yeah. She has been helping our


    family out over the past few years, so I went to pay her a visitst night and ended up treating her.”


    Bernice’s face got even redder when she recalled the treatment process. Not wanting to dwell on her


    embarra*sing thoughts, she spun around and looked daggers at Killian. “Well? What are you still


    standing around for, Killian? Do you want my b*dyguard to throw you out instead?” Killian knew that he


    wouldn’t be able to hurt Finnegan at that point, but his ego and pride refused to let him back down


    without a fight. “You can’t protect him forever, Bernice. I suggest you have himply with my terms


    instead.” “I wouldn’t let Finnegan ept those terms even if he wanted to, so go ahead and do


    whatever it is you’re going to do! I’ll shield Finnegan from it all!” Bernice replied. Finnegan couldn’t help


    but be impressed when he saw a gentle girl like Bernice show such a strong and authoritative side.


    However, being protected by a girl left him feeling a little awkward. “Is that so? Very well, then!” Killian


    said with a sneer and prepared to leave with his b*dyguard. “Hold it right there!” Finnegan shouted.


    Since Killian had shown up at his house, Finnegan wasn’t about to let him walk away that easily. “Oh?


    What’s this? Do you think you can pick a fight with me now that you have Bernice here to help you


    out?” Killian asked with a mocking smile. “Killian, I will give you one chance to make it out of here


    alive.” Killian paused for a moment to ensure he heard Finnegan right before he burst outughing.


    “Are you kidding me, Finnegan? That’s my line! But go on. I could use a goodugh!” Finnegan ignored


    his taunt and continued coldly, “You will kneel in front of our house for three days and three nights as


    an act of repentance. After that, you will have all four of your limbs broken, and the Chomsky family will


    donate two billion to charity. If you agree to all of these terms, I will spare your life and leave your family


    alone. You have fifteen days to make up your mind.” Bernice frowned in disapproval as she felt


    Finnegan’s threat would only cause Killian to get even bolder. Sure enough, Killian burst outughing


    again when he heard that. “You know what? I changed my mind. I want you to kneel in front of me for


    three days and three nights, have four of your limbs broken, and agree to relocate without


    my wrath! I will also give you fifteen days to make up your mind.” Finnegan sneered. “Really? I think


    you’re the one who needs to make that decision.” He then flicked his fingers and sent four silver


    needles flying into Killian’s limbs. Bernice, who had her gaze fixated on Finnegan the whole time,


    noticed what he did. Before she could even respond, Killian had copsed to the ground, letting out an


    ear-piercing scream. The look on Bernice’s face changed when she saw Killian’s limbs twist and turn


    like pretzels. It was a truly gruesome sight to behold.
