The expressions on their faces all changed.
“What false usation? We have no idea!”

“Your mom killed mine. The police have already determined it, and there are eyewitnesses. How is that
a false usation?”
“And what about my son? The ssroom surveince captured everything. It was your father’s
mishandling that drove my son to jump off the building. How is that framing?”
“Don’t think that by framing us, you can exonerate your mom. We won’t yield.”
“At most, we were emotionally agitated and caused serious injuries to your mom, but there’s absolutely
no false usation involved!”
Except for the man in ck who dared not speak, the remaining six were desperately exining and
rebutting.
Finnegan had anticipated this. With a light wave of his finger, hemanded, “Hit them again!”
The elite members of the Wahlstrom family rushed up once more, kicking and beating the seven. Once
more, the factory was filled with cries of mercy and wails of despair.
Finnegan remained unfazed, showing no intention of stopping.
Riley frowned slightly, feeling ufortable with Finnegan’s violence, but she didn’t dare to speak up.
After another three minutes, Finnegan signaled the elite members to stop. “Since I was able to find you,
it means I’m confident in my abilities. So, I advise you to confess honestly. That way, you can avoid
some unnecessary suffering.”
The eldest son of the deceased still stubbornly insisted, “We didn’t do it, absolutely not!”
“Is that so?” Finnegan sneered, taking a file from Alisha. “If that’s the case, answer a few questions for
me.”
He addressed the brothers, “Both of you brothers are ordinary wage earners, struggling to make ends
meet. But why have you each reserved a house worth over six million and a car worth over one million
in the past couple of days?”
Turning to the couple, he added, “You usually fret over car and house loans. But howe all of a
sudden, one of you reserved a Mercedes-Benz S-ss car, and the other spent three hundred
thousand on a beauty salon membership?”
After a pause, he asked, “Did you both find money at the same time, or did you win the lottery?”
At this point, Finnegan’s gaze turned cold. “Furthermore, since you value family ties so much that you
won’t ept a settlement and would rather see my parents go to jail, why haven’t you gone to the
morgue to see your mother’s body or to the hospital to check on your son in these past few days?”
Before they could react, Finnegan’s palm shook, and the documents in his hand turned into fragments.

His voice became low and angry. “So, tell me, who instructed you to do this? What did they give you
that you’re willing to sacrifice even your own family?”
As someone who valued family ties, Finnegan despised those who used family as a guise but had no
familial feelings.
The six were stunned, especially the daughter and son-inw of the deceased.
After exchanging nces, the daughter pped her older brother in the face. “Wasn’t the money
supposed to be divided among us after everything was done? Why did you use it to buy a house and a

car? What about our share?”
The son-inw seemed agitated too, rushing over to punch his brother-inw. “The two million was
supposed to be split equally among the three families. Now that you’ve spent so much on a car and a
house, what about our share, which is over six hundred thousand?”
The two sons of the deceased were stirred up. “You are a daughter who has been married off, and you
are merely the man who married my sister. Why should we split it with you? That’s my mom’s hard-
earned money!”
The four of them started fighting, hurling all sorts of harsh words at each other.
__Felix watched, his expressionplex. “Is this what a family looks like?”
Even though the truth hade to light, with someone paying them two million to frame Quiana, Felix
was somewhat surprised by how a family could be this calcting among each other.
Finnegan nodded and said, “People who be rich after being poor tend to be greedier than those
who were always rich. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing…”
With a wave of his hand, hemanded, “Vixen, I want to know the whole truth within ten minutes!”
Having said that, Finnegan walked out of the workshop, leaving behind a chorus of screams and
pleas.
Felix offered Finnegan a cigarette. “Care for one?”
Finnegan didn’t usually smoke, but he still took an unlit cigarette. Looking inexperienced, his mouth and
lit it up.
After taking a deep drag, he coughed a few times, feeling quite ufortable.
“This is what happens during your first try.” Felix lit one up himself. At the same time, he asked
confusion, “But aren’t you a bit too calm tonight?”

it in
Finnegan tried to take a deep puff, only to find that the taste of the cigarette was not that great.
Stomping it out gently on the ground, he said, “They’re all just pawns, ready to be obliterated at any
moment. My goal tonight is to find the mastermind and nail the one pulling the strings!”
These people who abandoned their conscience for money deserved to die.

However, the mastermind was even more despicable!
Felix nodded in understanding, choosing not to say more.

In less than ten minutes, the workshop fell silent. Alisha walked out. “Everything is clear. They were
indeed bribed. The deceased’s family took two million, and the student’s parents took one million. If the
student had died, the parents would have received another one million!”
Finnegan’s eyelid twitched slightly. “But how did they convince the olddy and that student to agree
and even risk their lives?”
This was a bit unreasonable because most people valued their lives.
Alisha replied, “The olddy was a terminally ill cancer patient, with less than four months to live. So,
she was willing to use her own death to get some money for her family. As for the student, he was
actually adopted by that couple. They emotionally ckmailed him into cooperating and jumping off the
building!”
Comprehension dawned on Finnegan. “That’s both heartwarming and ugly!”
The olddy and the student’s actions were heartwarming, as one acted for the sake of her children,
the other out of gratitude.
However, it was ugly as these people were willing to risk the lives of their elderly mother and adopted
son for money, showing no emotion whatsoever.
“It’s quite ugly, but the n is foolproof!”
Felix also felt somewhat sentimental.
If it were someone else, who would have thought that this involves human nature?
Riley asked, “Did the man in ck who hit Ms. Larkin confess? Who instructed him to pose as a waiter
and frame Ms. Larkin?”
This was also the question that Felix cared about the most. “Did you find out?”
Alisha shot Finnegan aplex look. “Your guess is correct. The mastermind who framed Rhiannon
and your parents is the same person.”
Finnegan nodded, an image of a certain person appearing in his mind.
However, Felix and Riley couldn’t figure it out. “Who could it possibly be?”
Alisha pulled out a cell phone, which belonged to the student’s foster mother. “In reality, they all have
no idea who’s really behind all this. However, the student’s foster mother is quite clever She was
worried about being abandoned after being used. So, she secretly took a picture of the person who
approached them!”
Upon hearing this, Felix quickly grabbed the phone, only to see a photo of a refined gentleman.
He narrowed his gaze as he felt that the man looked familiar.
Riley recognized that man at once. “I think this is Liam’sckey, Axel!”

After a moment, her expression changed slightly, “Are all three incidents targeting Mr. Larkin’s family
orchestrated by Liam?”
Finnegan had walked away. “Mr. Haimowitz, Ms. Riley, get Captain Quickwood to arrange for the media
to interview them and clear my parents’ name! Vixen, locate Liam for me. I’ve missed him!”
A staggering murderous aura surged toward the sky.
Even the clouds seemed to be affected, swirling and falling.
