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 Wright 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 l*ps 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 l*ps 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 b*dy. “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.
Once 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?” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“No.”
Mandy pursed her rosy l*ps. 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
