Chapter 160
Chapter 160 Because You Are Not Worthy
After giving Mandy a brief lesson, Finnegan arranged for Doom Star to settle down before heading
home.
As soon as he stepped into the hallway, he sensed that something was amiss.
Desmond and Quiana sat there, not watching television, not uttering a word.
Seeing his return, Quiana pointed to the couch opposite her. “Finny,e over here!”
What’s happening?
Seeing his parents so serious was a rare sight, which suddenly made Finnegan feel a bit flustered. As
these thoughts crossed his mind, he walked over and sat down, asking, “Mom, what’s wrong?” “You
didn’te homest night. Were you staying at the hotel with Josie?”
Upon hearing that, Finnegan understood. It must have been Jenna who called and spoke to Quiana.
He exined right away, “Mom, after dinner at Mdm. Dickson’s housest night, Josephine and I took a
walk. Then, because it got toote-”
“No need for exnations,” interrupted Quiana directly. “Mdm. Dickson called this morning. She has no
objections to your rtionship with Josie, and your father and I feel the same way. Set a date and get
engaged to Josie. You two have grown up together. You know each other inside out, and you’re a
perfect match.”
Desmond nodded. “Josie is someone your mother and I have watched grow up. We both really like her,
so let’s consider it settled.”
The corners of Finnegan’s mouth twitched.
He hadn’t said a word, yet his parents had already made all the decisions for him.
At the same time, he was somewhat confused. “Mom, Dad, didn’t Mdm. Dickson say anything else?”
Under normal circumstances, if Josephine went back this morning, she should have exinedst
night’s events to Jenna, including the fact that he was now dating Bernice.
It seemed that Jenna made a phone call to Desmond and Quiana, apparently discussing matters
rted to a wedding.
Quiana said, “Mdm, Dickson can’t wait for you to be her son-inw. What could she possibly
say?”
Clearly, Josephine didn’t say anything, and Quiana misunderstood his intentions.
It was odd that Josephine didn’t stop Jenna. Finnegan didn’t hide it anymore. “Mom, Dad, my
rtionship with Josephine is purely tonic. I only see her as my sister. We can’t be together. I won’t
hide it from you any longer. I’ve had a girlfriend for quite some time now.”
Desmond and Quiana were taken aback.
Upon confirming she heard correctly, Quiana stood up. “You have a girlfriend?”
Nodding his head, Finnegan replied, “It’s… It’s… Bernice!”
Huh?

When they heard his response, Desmond’s and Quiana’s eyes widened in surprise.
They were certainly familiar with Bernice and even had a particr fondness for her.
Simply due to the disparity in their family statuses, they never dared to imagine any potential
development between Finnegan and Bernice.
But now, Finnegan was saying that Bernice was his girlfriend.
Desmond and Quiana exchanged a nce while Quiana still seemed somewhat dazed. “Finny, stop
joking with us. Could Ms. Zimmerman really be interested in you?”
Desmond also wore a serious expression. “Don’t lie to us just to avoid the issue with Josie.”
“Dad, Mom, it’s true.”
To save them the trouble of worrying about his affairs, Finnegan briefly exined his situation with
Bernice.
In the end, he looked at his parents, who were speechless with surprise. “We’ve been together for a
while now. I was just worried that you wouldn’t ept it, thinking that I’m with Bernice out of gratitude.
That’s why I didn’t tell you!”
Upon realizing that Finnegan was not lying, Desmond and his wife were filled with a myriad of
emotions. Quiana’s expression turned somewhat bitter. “How on earth am I supposed to exin this
mess to Jenna?” She was the first one to suggest to Jenna that Finnegan and Josephine would make a
good pair. Desmond was also somewhat angry. “You scoundrel, we will indeed prevent you from being
with Ms. Zimmerman because you’re not worthy. What on earth have you done, you jerk? You have a
girlfriend, and yet you spent the night at a hotel with Josie? What about the girl’s reputation?”
Quiana suddenly blurted out, “Why don’t you break up with Ms. Zimmerman? We’re not a match for
those wealthy families. Josie is a more reliable choice.”
Finnegan’s mouth twitched. “Mom!”
How could she say that?
Finnegan was truly at a loss for words.
Desmond red at Quiana. “Have you lost your mind? Ms. Zimmerman is already with Finny. Just
because you think Josie is a better match, you want them to break up? What does that make Finny?”
“I…” For a moment, Quiana didn’t know what to say.
With no other choice, he turned and pped Finnegan. “This is all your fault, you little rascal! How am i
III
supposed to exin this to Mdm. Dickson? This is so embarrassing!”
Desmond asked, “Are Ms. Zimmerman’s parents really okay with this? They don’t look down on our
family?”
“No.” Finnegan nodded. “Mrs. Zimmerman even mentioned the other day that we should arrange a time
for both families to meet and discuss my engagement with Bernice.”
Clearly, there was no issue when the parents of both parties took the initiative to discuss the
engagement.
With a helpless look, Desmond turned to Quiana. “I told you to wait for Finny’s approval before talking
to Jenna. Now, see what happened?”
“So, figure out how to exin it yourself. I’m done dealing with it.”
Quiana wanted to say something, but her mind was in a bit of a mess.
She sat down, pping his thigh in frustration. “I really don’t know what to do. And how on earth did
Ms. Zimmerman fall for Finny? What does Finny have that makes him worthy of her?”
Their family was just an ordinary one, and Finnegan only had a bit of medical skill.
No matter how hard she tried, Quiana just couldn’t figure it out.
“Mom, don’t think so poorly of your son. I’m heading upstairs now.”
To avoid hearing any more shocking statements from Quiana about breaking up with Bernice, Finnegan
quickly excused himself and headed upstairs.
Desmond pped his knee and burst intoughter. “It’s quite surprising, but it’s actually better for Finny
to be with Ms. Zimmerman rather than Josie. After all, Ms. Zimmerman is a great girl!”
Quiana gave him a push. “What’s so great about it? Wee from different social sses!”
“What a woman’s perspective!” Desmond snorted. “Our families may not have the same social status,
but now that Finny is capable, who can guarantee that he won’t be a match for Ms. Zimmerman in the
future? So, I’ve made up my mind. I will respect Finny’s decision on who he wants to be with. You
should stay out of it and stop worrying about whether Finny is good enough or not.”
Quiana sighed, “What can I do in this situation? How am I supposed to exin this to Jenna?”
Upon returning to his room, Finnegan could faintly hear his parents’ conversation.
However, he didn’t take it too seriously, believing that his parents would ultimately support him. “I think I
can tell Darling now. It’s time for her to meet my parents.”
Just as Finnegan was about to call Bernice, he received a call from Reynard.
The timing couldn’t have been worse for this secret message to arrive. Finnegan answered the call.
“Why are you calling me? Who’s sick this time?”
Reynard gave a wry sinile. “You rascal, didn’t you tell me to call you as soon as I had news about
Golden Hades? If you’re not happy, should I hang up?”
O
Upon hearing this, Finnegan, who had justid down, immediately sat up.
His gaze was intense. “Where is he?”
After taking down the Goldberg Five, Finnegan had been on guard against their leader, Golden Hades.
That’s why he had asked Reynard to help him investigate and inform him as soon as there was any
news.
Reynard responded, “ording to the intelligence from Phoenix Team, Golden Hades quietly entered
Gablurg a few days ago, and then his whereabouts became unknown. Based on the analysis, he might
be with the Zymons family!”
