Chapter 212 Trouble Might Be Brewing
As evening drew near, due to the rare asion of Desmond inviting him home for dinner, Finnegan
ended his treatment of Waylynn and politely declined Stephen’s dinner invitation, asking Alisha to pick
him up instead.
“Why didn’t you ask Zephyr to pick you up?”
Once they got in the car, Alisha tossed out ament in a resentful manner.
Finnegan understood Alisha’s thoughts. “You’re right. Next time, I’ll just have Mr. Zephyr pick me up.
No need to trouble you, Ms. Wahlstrom.”
Alisha’s heart tightened. “If you dare!”
As the words left her mouth, Alisha realized she had been tricked. She then scoffed and said, “So
you’ve learned to tease me, huh? It would be even better if you could learn to sleep with me!”
With that, she started the car without uttering a single word.
Finnegan acted as if he hadn’t heard, turning his head to look at the gradually setting sun outside the
window.
“B*stard!” she cursed under her breath. Afterward, she said, “I recently received news from Bellridge. It
seems the Royle family is nning to make a move against you!”
Finnegan lifted his eyelids slightly. “A move against me? Have they gone mad?”
The deaths of Vilmar and Matthias were indeed the result of his slight maniption.
However, they didn’t have any evidence.
There was also a warning from the Wright family, so the Royle family wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
Next, behind the Royle family was Hank. In that stage of contention between the Wahlstrom and
Zymons families, Hank would likely not allow the Royle family to stir up trouble.
Alisha replied, “It’s not certain at the moment, but Jeovani has been investigating you secretly a few
times. It seems he has intentions to make a move.”
Upon hearing that, Finnegan furrowed his brows.
Although he didn’t take the Royle family seriously, they were still the second most powerful family in
Nuthana, just after the Langdon family.
If Jeovani acted recklessly for his son, he could stir up some trouble for Finnegan.
“Assign some clever individuals to keep an eye on my family for me,” Finnegan said.
Alisha said, “As soon as I received the news, I dispatched people. There’s no way something like the
Little Tyrant incident will happen again.”
With a grunt of acknowledgment, Finnegan fell silent, gazing out of the car window in a way that left
one

O
wondering what he was thinking about.
Seeing that he didn’t want to talk, Alisha could only pout in boredom and focus on driving.
But as they passed a fork in the road, Finnegan suddenly eximed, “Stop the car!”
After ensuring there were no cars behind her, Alisha pulled over to the side of the road. “What’s
wrong?”
Yet, Finnegan didn’t respond. He pushed open the car door and stepped out, looking toward a mansion
located high up on a hillside hundreds of meters away.
A slight frown creased his brows, his eyes shimmering with confusion.
He had noticed that mansion on his usual visits to the Wright residence, but it seemed a bit different
that day.
Alisha went up to him and asked, “Why are you looking at Fleur Vi?”
“Do you know that ce?” Finnegan asked.
Alisha nodded. “There’s an olddy named Marisol Yeatman living in Fleur Vi. My grandpa visits her
at least once a year. Even when he couldn’t make it, he would have my dad or one of my three uncles
go in his ce.”
She paused before adding, “Furthermore, my grandpa has arranged for Tyrone to station hundreds of
people at Fleur Vi year-round, at the disposal of Mdm. Yeatman. However, Grandpa never exined
who Mdm. Yeatman really was. He just insisted that we must respect her!”
Unexpectedly, that vi had some connections to Theoden.
Finnegan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Could it be your grandpa’s old me?”
“F*ck you!” Alisha yfully pushed Finnegan,ughing. “My grandpa only has my grandma in his heart.
Even though my grandma has been gone for many years, he never remarried. But what were you really
looking at just now? I’ve never seen you pay so much attention thest few times we passed by here.”
Finnegan twisted his neck and got into the car. “I didn’t see much. I just have a feeling that something
might happen to the people in the vi soon.”
Speaking of which, he turned his gaze back to Fleur Vi. “When the timees, you can introduce
me to the owner of the vi and tell them to prepare a reward!”
Alisha’s charming eyes narrowed slightly. “Is someone in the vi going to be in trouble?”
With a casual flick of his fingers, Finnegan didn’t want to say more. “Drive!”
Seeing Finnegan being mysterious again, Alisha red at him. “Thank goodness we’re not f*cking.
Otherwise, your habit of leaving things halfway would drive me crazy!”
The corner of Finnegan’s mouth twitched fiercely. How can this vixen utter such lewd words?
Nightfall descended, and as Finnegan stepped into the garden of Dragon Bay No. 1 Vi, he spotted
Bernice’s car. “Isn’t that my wife’s car? When did she arrive? Dad asked me toe home for dinner.
Could it be because my wife has arrived?”

O
Curiosity piqued, Finnegan stepped into the mansion.
Bernice was the first to see him. She joyfully stood up. “Finnegan!”
Finnegan walked over and asked, “Darling, when did you get here?” N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
Bernice’s face turned red instantly when she was being called affectionately in front of Desmond and
Quiana.
However, she was feeling absolutely delighted inside. This shows that Finnegan truly considers me as
his wife. Otherwise, he wouldn’t call me that in front of his parents.
“I just arrived about ten minutes ago,” she answered.
Finnegan nodded. It’s only been over ten minutes, so Dad calling me back should have nothing to do
with Bernice.
Seeing their intimate interaction, Quiana stood up with a smile. “Now that Finny is back, let’s chat while
we eat.”
A few people sat down in the dining room.
Desmond was clearly in a good mood. He asked a housekeeper to bring over a bottle of wine. “Finny,
join your father for a couple of drinks tonight.”
“Dad, is there some good news?” Finnegan picked up the wine and opened it, pouring a full ss for
Desmond first.
“Indeed, it’s good news.” Desmond burst intoughter. “I reported to Jadeborough High School today.
Everything has been arranged, and I can start work next Monday. Additionally, the Department of
Education has reinstated my senior teacher title, and based on my title and years of teaching, the
school has allocated a three-bedroom dorm to me as a teacher’s amodation.”
Finneganughed. “That’s indeed good news. I’ll join you for a couple of drinks.”
“Finny, there’s another reason I asked you toe home for dinner.” Quiana took over the
conversation.
“Mom, just say it.”
Quiana didn’t keep Finnegan in suspense and revealed the reason, “After all, this Dragon Bay No. 1
Vi was lent to us by Mr. Miles, and it’s not quite right for us to keep living here. So, after discussing it
with your father, we’ve decided to move to the teachers’ dorm that has been allocated to us in the next
few days.”
Upon hearing that, Finnegan paused for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
Bernice looked at Finnegan curiously, wondering why he hadn’t yet told Desmond and Quiana that
Dragon Bay was his.
Seeing Finnegan suddenly fall silent, Quiana thought he didn’t want to move. “Finny, living in Dragon
Bay No. 1 Vi is indeed veryfortable, but it’s not ours after all. You can’t be too attached!
Moreover, living here for this period of time, your father and I can’t even find someone to talk to. Moving
to the teachers’ dorm would be a different story.”
Seeing his parents really moving out, Finnegan didn’t quite like the idea in his heart.

O
Because the teachers’ dorm was crowded and chaotic, he didn’t know when the person he had
offended might strike at them again.
So, after some thought, Finnegan decided not to keep secrets from his parents anymore.
Scratching his head, he said, “Mom and Dad, actually, Dragon Bay No. 1 Vi wasn’t lent to me by Mr.
Miles for me to live in. It was mine to begin with, so you can stay as long as you want!”
