Chapter 141 Traumatized By Him
“My grandfather isn’t coming. My father will represent us at that time!”
Alisha sat down beside Finnegan. She was so close to him that it seemed that she was leaning against him.
However, Finnegan didn’t seem to notice that.
He rubbed his chin. “Old Mr. Wahlstrom isn’t coming? Can your father handle Seth?”
Although Finnegan hadn’t met Seth before, he had heard a bit about him.
Apparently, Seth was a formidable figure who started from nothing and achieved what he had on his own.
On the other hand, Alisha’s father, Bradley, grew up under the protection of Theoden.
“Seth won’t come either. My dad only needs to face Elsa,” Alisha said as she gave Finnegan a reproachful glare.
How dare you look down on my dad right in front of me, you b*stard!
Finnegan narrowed his eyes. “Are you saying that your grandfather and Seth won’t come, but your dad and Elsa will
represent them instead?”
“That’s right.” Alisha nodded as she began to reveal the reason behind it all. “Even though Jadeborough seems to
be under the control of the Wahlstrom family, it’s always been Tyrone’s territory in reality. Over the years, even
though he has contributed thirty percent of the profits to the Wahlstrom family every year, he and the Wahlstrom
family have often been at odds. Considering this, Tyrone is likely to lean toward either side at the critical moment.
That’s why neither Grandpa nor Seth wants to take the risk in case they end up having no one on their side!”
Realization dawned on Finnegan. “So by choosing Jadeborough as the battleground and because of Tyrone’s stance,
both sides don’t have to worry about falling into each other’s traps?”
Alisha replied, “Exactly. Tyrone’s neutral.”
“Funny!”
Finnegan couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
Tyrone might be part of the Wahlstrom family, but the Wahlstroms clearly didn’t trust him.
Instead, they were wary of him.
“I can only say that your grandfather lacks courage. He should have removed a person like that from power a long
time ago!”
Alisha said, “It’s not that my grandfather lacks courage. Jadeborough’s economic status is undeniable, and the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWright family also resides here. Who dares to stir up trouble? That is also why my grandfather had no choice but to
agree with Tyrone that he can act on his own on certain matters.”
Finnegan pursed his lips disinterestedly. “Who said anything about having to stir up trouble to solve problems?
Anyway, since this is your family matter, you should figure it out yourselves.”
Then, Finnegan got up and headed outside.

“Where are you going?” Alisha asked.
Finnegan raised his hand and waved it in the air. “As long as Solomon doesn’t leave Jadeborough, Jerome Medical
Clinic won’t resume business. I’m going back to wait for your family to solve this problem!”
“What if our family can’t resolve this in the end?”
Finnegan was already at the courtyard gate when he stopped. A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. “Then you
better hope that Solomon never crosses my path again!”
With that, he left.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Alisha’s mouth, and a hint of playful expression appeared on her face. No
wonder Grandpa insists that I must win him over. What kind of secret does he have?
Looks like I’ll have to work hard to understand him.
Finnegan returned to No. 1 Villa in Dragon Bay in the evening.
“Ms. Langdon, what are you doing here?”
Upon entering the garden, he saw Mandy sitting in the gazebo and chatting with Quiana.
“I asked Ms. Langdon to come over,” Quiana said as she beckoned Finnegan over.
As it turned out, Mandy lived at the neighboring No. 2 Villa.
Since she occasionally dropped by, she had become quite well-acquainted with Quiana.
After returning from Jerome Medical Clinic in the morning, Quiana had been worried about Finnegan. That was
when she thought of Mandy, the granddaughter of the richest man in Nuthana.
She had invited Mandy over to see if she could help Finnegan.
“Ms. Langdon has agreed to help you. Thank her, quickly!” Quiana said.
Finnegan’s lips twitched slightly.
Looking at Mandy skeptically, he asked, “You live at No. 2 Villa? And you often come over to my place?”
The moment Mandy saw Finnegan, she recalled the day she had knelt for a whole day when seeking medical
treatment.
She stood up, revealing her slender and graceful body. “Dr. Larkin… Mr. Larkin, we sold No. 1 Villa to the Miles
family but kept No. 2 Villa. I’m staying here since I work in Jadeborough now. I only dropped by because I was free.
Plus, Mrs. Larkin invited me a few times. She said that neighbors should interact with each other more.”
Interacting with neighbors is something regular people do. Does Ms. Langdon really think that I’ll believe she has so
much time to spare?
However, Finnegan refrained from saying too much in front of Quiana. “Mom, I’d like to have a private conversation
with Ms. Langdon to see how she can help me.”
Mandy’s eyelids twitched. Although she felt somewhat uneasy, she didn’t dare to object.

Quiana stood up, not noticing anything unusual. “All right, you two have a good chat. You’re in big trouble this time.
Also, Ms. Langdon mentioned earlier that a friend of hers is ill and she’d like you to visit. I already promised her on
your behalf. You should go with her and take a look later.”
Quiana leaned closer to Finnegan’s ear and whispered, “Ms. Langdon’s family is the richest in Nuthana. Her family
is even more powerful than the Miles family and the Haimowitz family. You must find a way to get her to help you.
Otherwise, your father and I will never stop worrying.”
Evidently, Quiana hoped that Finnegan could seek more assistance because she still didn’t believe that he could
handle all the trouble by himself.
Poor parents! They will always worry for their kids.
Finnegan nodded. “All right!”
“Ms. Langdon, you two go ahead. I have things to attend to,” Quiana said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce Quiana left, Finnegan sat down.
Then, he raised his hand slightly and gestured for Mandy to sit. “Ms. Langdon, please sit.”
“I think I’ll just stand, Dr. Larkin.”
Finnegan arched an eyebrow. “Stand? My mother is definitely watching us from the villa. If you stand, you’ll just
create more trouble for me. Hurry up and sit down!”
Mandy shuddered involuntarily as she hurriedly took a seat. She sat up straight as if she were an elementary school
student.
Finnegan inwardly commented on her good figure as he observed her posture. Then, shifting his gaze away, he
asked, “Your friend is sick?”
“No.”
Mandy pursed her rosy lips. She didn’t dare to look at Finnegan because she was still traumatized by him ever since
the kneeling incident.
“Then were you just fooling around with my mom?”
Mandy hurriedly explained, “I do have something else to discuss with you, Dr. Larkin, but I was afraid you wouldn’t
agree, so I… I…”
She stuttered for a while. In the end, she didn’t complete the sentence.
Finnegan sneered You were afraid I wouldn’t agree, so you made a move at my mom to make sure that I have to
go with you tonight?”
“It’s not like that. If you don’t want to, it’s fine. I’ll explain to Mrs. Larkin.”
“Why are you so nervous? Am I that terrifying?” When Finnegan noticed the cold sweat glistening on her forehead,
he softened his tone.
Mandy glanced at Finnegan. “You really don’t know?”
Mandy recalled the time they had gone to Finnegan for treatment. Despite not showing his face, he had managed
to cause more than a dozen guards from the Langdon family to mysteriously collapse and cry
