    Chapter 61 Never Show Them Any Mercy


    Quiana was on her knees on the ground, straightening the house.


    However, her arms and face were littered with scratch marks and bruises. It was clear that someone


    had hit her.


    Finnegan’s face turned as ck as thunder, and he stalked in. “Who hit you, Mom?”


    The Chomsky family came to his mind first.


    Scrambling up, Quiana fibbed, “No one hit me. I merely sl*pped and fell yesterday.”


    How could her injuries possibly be a result of a fall?


    Rhiannon asked Desmond, “What exactly happened, Dad?”


    Desmond stammered, “Your mother sl*pped and fell.”


    From his parents’ expressions, Finnegan had an inkling of the culprit. “Was it Uncle Raymond’s or


    Uncle Adrian’s family?”


    After all, the only ones who could injure them and have them keep it to themselves were either


    Raymond’s or Adrian’s family.


    “Was it them?” Rhiannon pressed.


    Desmond smiled bitterly in the end. “It was your Aunt Qahira and Ximena. They used us of


    sabotaging things, causing the Haimowitz family to call off the wedding. When they came to make a


    fuss yesterday, your mother defended your brother, so they got physical with her. It’s no big deal.”


    “Yes, yes, it’s no big deal. All my injuries are superficial.”


    Quiana likewise a*serted that she was fine, fearing that Finnegan would seek Raymond and his family


    out to settle the score.


    Knowing his parents’ attitude toward family, Finnegan suppressed his wrath and stopped Rhiannon


    from speaking about the matter further.


    “Mom, Dad, they only have themselves to me for the canction of the wedding. I’ll let them off the


    hook this time. But if this happens again, I’ll never show them any mercy. Pack your things now. We’re


    moving to a new house!”


    Rhiannon was stunned for a moment. Her mood swung from depression to excitement.


    She hugged Finnegan’s arm. “We’ve moving, Finn?”


    She had heard from her parentsst week that her brother had bought a house from the Miles family at


    a low price and had been looking forward to it for several days.


    Seeing that his parents also had excitement etched across their features, Finnegan replied with a grin,


    “Yes. We’re moving today. You’ll all love it for sure!”


    Isn’t this what humans pursue in their lifetime? Their ultimate aspiration is to give their family a better


    life!


    “You said this car was a gift from your brother, Rhia? How much did it cost?”


    When Quiana got downstairs after packing her things, only to be greeted by the sight of the Porsche


    costing almost two million, she was dumbfounded.


    Rhiannon turned to Finnegan for help.


    Clearing his throat, Finnegan said, “Somewhere around three hundred to four hundred thousand.”


    “Tell your mother the truth, Finny. I’m not an uneducated bumpkin. I know this is a Porsche.” Desmond


    wore a stern look on his face.


    Gosh, I almost forgot that he loved to research cars in the past!


    A wry smile curved Finnegan’s l*ps. “Um… A little over a million.”


    He had wanted to give a lower price, but he knew that Desmond would check whether it matched, so


    he went with the truth.


    Both Desmond and Quiana froze in ce.


    A little over a million?


    They exchanged a nce. Quiana hastily asked, “Where did you get that much money? You didn’t do


    anything illegal, did you?”


    That was the first thought every parent would have upon learning that their child had


    money.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Taking her hand, Finnegan exined, “I made the money from treating patients all these years. None


    of it was from illegal means. Don’t worry.”


    Even so, a turmoil brewed within Quiana.


    Oh God, this is no different from driving a house on the road!


    about


    Suddenly, she whirled around and smacked Rhiannon on the head. “What’s so great your birthday,


    brat? How could you have your brother buy you such an expensive car? Don’t you know that his money


    has to be saved for his wedding?”


    “It wasn’t me, Mom! I didn’t even know until he bought me the car!”


    “How dare you make excuses now?”


    Shortly after, the matter wasid to rest.


    Finnegan helped Desmond out of the wheelchair and into the car. “How are your legs right now, Dad? I


    was a bit busy the past few days, but I’ll resume treating you every day henceforth.”


    Lifting his legs, Desmond answered smilingly, “Your medical skills are really incredible, Finny. Your


    mother has been applying the salve you prepared for me these few days, and I can now move my legs


    slightly.”


    “That’s great. When we arrive at our new house, I’ll perform acupuncture on you. In a week’s time, you


    can try walking with a cane.”.


    “Okay, sure! Whatever you say!”


    Dragon Bay was the most upscale and top-notch affluent district in Jadeborough.


    The outside was condominiumplexes, while the inside housed the mansion area.


    It was built near the sea, and the price started from a hundred thousand per square meter.


    “Are you sure we’re at the right ce, Finn? This is Dragon Bay!”


    When the Larkin family arrived, Rhiannon gaped at Dragon Bay, which she had never dared to imagine


    residing in, with disbelief and shock brimming in her eyes.


    Desmond and Quiana had also gonepletely stiff.


    Dragon Bay was one of the top affluent districts in Jadeborough, and it was practically impossible to


    buy a house there without twenty million.


    Finny bought a house here?


    Desmond and Quiana looked at each other, their gazes tinged with intense skepticism.


    Finnegan chuckled. “Yes, this is the right ce. Besides, it was the Miles family who sold the house to


    me. Their property can’t be in an ordinary ce, right?”


    Desmond’s and the others’ eyes went wide.


    Oh, that’s right! This house was from the Miles family, and they’d never buy an ordinary house!


    Desmond, who had worked diligently his entire life, asked, “Finny, how big is the house the Miles family


    sold you at a low price, and what was the original price?”


    Rubbing the tip of his nose, Finnegan murmured, “Let’s go in first before we talk further.”


    If I were to answer that now, they likely wouldn’t even dare to


    “Excuse me.”


    go


    in anymore.


    Just as the car reached the gates, a security guard stopped them politely.


    Rhiannon was driving a top-spec Porsche 718, so it was only natural that they acted courteously.


    Slight apprehension swamped Rhiannon. “Can’t I enter?”


    “No, that’s not it. It’s just that today is theunch of Dragon Bay’s third phase, and the sales department


    is organizing a tour for clients. There’s a lot of people inside right now, so it could be dangerous if you


    were to drive in,” the security guard rified politely.


    Since that was the case, Finnegan did not put him in a difficult position. “We’ll just walk in, then.”


    Not only did Dragon Bay’sunch attract locals from Jadeborough, but it also drew many foreigners.


    As soon as Finnegan and his family stepped in, they were greeted by people as far as the could see.


    The visitors there numbered in the thousands, at the very least, and they were all led by a sales


    a*sistant as they toured the ce.


    “There are so many rich people!” Rhiannon could not helpmenting at the sight of the crowd who were


    there to tour the ce and buy a house.


    After all, any house in the residential area in Dragon Bay cost tens of millions.


    eye


    “Of course there are many rich people. But these few thousand people are not necessarily all affluent. I


    reckon most of them are spending money they umted through two or even three generations just


    for the down payment before shouldering a loan for decades,” Finneganmented.


    Rhiannon nodded in understanding. But still, she was somewhat perplexed. “If even the down payment


    requires several million, why don’t they just choose to buy a house at a cheaper ce and pay the


    lump sum for it, Finn?”


    As Rhiannon was no longer young then, Finnegan did not mind enlightening her about some of the


    cruel realities of life.


    “It’s because of the excessive concentration of scarce resources. For example, there are limited ces


    for the best schools in Jadeborough, and priority is given to students who live in the city. For the sake


    of their child’s future, others can only bite the bullet and buy a house here, even at the cost of having to


    shoulder a loan for several decades. Secondly,


    transportation and other conveniences in life are also clustered in the best location. Who wouldn’t want


    that?”


    If one wants to have all that, they’ll naturally have to pay a hefty price.


    Rhiannon’s heart inexorably went heavy. “Life is downright difficult as the same cycle repeats through


    the generations!”


    With a faint smile, Finnegan replied, “While life is difficult, it’s also wonderful. It mainly depends on how


    one looks at it. Come, let’s go and take a look at our house!”.
