Chapter 9 Analyzing Her Looks

“What happened to Killi?” Killian’s father, Tristan Chomsky, roared like a furious lion in the ward of General Hospital.

The stern voice of Tristan Group chairman caused all the medical staff in the hospital to shudder. None of them dared to say anything.

Tristan took a glance at his unconscious son and bellowed, “Are all of you dumb?”

After giving one of Killian’s bodyguards a slap on the face, he ordered, “You! Tell me what happened!” novelbin

The bodyguard, who had kept mum, spilled it all out. He told Tristan how Killian had gone to look for Finnegan, including all the details.

Tristan’s eyes turned cold. “He did this to Killi?”

“I don’t think so. He was at least about three meters away from Mr. Killian,” the bodyguard replied.

After narrowing his eyes in deep thought, Tristan called the doctor over and asked, “What exactly happened to my son?”

The doctor answered in a trembling voice, “We’ve assembled a team of experts and conducted a comprehensive examination on Mr. Killian, but we couldn’t quite determine what happened to him. All we know now is that his condition will flare up once every hour for about ten minutes. After several episodes, the joints in his limbs will become twisted, and his skin will tear as well.”

All of a sudden, Killian started shrieking in pain.

His limbs began twisting like a rope.

The expression on Tristan’s face changed. He turned to the doctors and yelled, “Do something!”

All the doctors immediately got up and injected Killian with a dose of painkiller but to no avail. In the end, they had to sedate him to calm him down.

Nevertheless, his limbs were contorted out of shape, with blood oozing out of his wounds.

Killian, tortured to the point of being almost unrecognizable, weakly uttered, “Dad, it must be Finnegan. He did this to me. Otherwise, why would I be like this after meeting him? This has never happened to me before. You must avenge me!”

Tristan’s eyes turned red. “Are you sure it’s Finnegan?”

“It’s definitely him,” Killian said while gritting his teeth. “I have no idea where he disappeared for the past five years, but when he returned, his combat skills had clearly improved. He even beat Python and his men, who usually worked for me. Moreover, he said some suspicious things before this happened to me. It must be him. He did this to me.”

Tristan knitted his brows. “We won’t be able to touch him since he has the girl from the Zimmerman family on his side. But don’t worry. If he’s indeed the culprit, I’ll definitely not

let him off.”

If Finnegan were truly responsible for doing this to Killian, only he would have the ability to get Killian out of this situation.

After Killian passed out from the ten minutes of agony, Tristan stepped out of the ward and ordered his subordinate, “Contact the other experts and get them to come and treat Killi. I want you to investigate

Finnegan and find out where he went in the last five years. Also, I want to know if he was the one who did this to Killian.”

Quiana woke Finnegan up on a Saturday morning. “Better get yourself together, Finnegan. You’ll be meeting Rhia’s senior for the first time. Rhia told me her senior was highly competent and had sold over thirty cars in a month. As a result, she was directly promoted to the deputy manager position. Now, she’s already the manager of the store. You should seize this opportunity since she already has a good impression of you.” D

Quiana continued nagging and reminding Finnegan before allowing him to leave. Finnegan was filled with frustration, as he had only intended to go through the motions, but he understood that all parents would want their children to tie the knot as soon as possible.

After walking out of the house for some time, Finnegan called Alisha to come and pick him. up. He also asked her about the Chomsky family.

A while later, Alisha arrived in her fiery red Ferrari. She was staying at a nearby hotel to ensure she could appear before Finnegan as soon as possible.

Upon getting into the car, Finnegan sized Alisha up for the very first time.

She stood tall at about five and a half feet, with a well-proportioned and seductive figure. Her red, strapless bodycon dress only added to her allure, making her look even more sensuous.

Upon realizing Finnegan was staring at her, she blinked and asked, “What do you think of my looks?”

“Fair, long, and tall!”

Alisha was confused “Fair, long, and tall? What do you mean?”

Finnegan teased her with a smirk. “What do you think? Which part of your body is fair, long. and tall?”

As someone who was naturally open-minded, Alisha quickly realized what Finnegan meant. She responded with a giggle and said, “Mr. Larkin, when I first met you the other night, I thought you were someone who didn’t like to joke around. But now, it seems that you’re just a normal young man.”

Finnegan looked away. “I doubt anyone would be in the mood to joke the other night.”

“Can I ask you a question?” Alisha asked.

“No,” Finnegan rejected outright, surprising her.

Instead of pursuing the matter further, she simply flipped her hair and hit the gas. Her slender and fair legs once again caught Finnegan’s eyes.

Finnegan could not help but be mesmerized by her slender and fair legs.

When Alisha noticed Finnegan was glancing at her again, she teased, “Would you like to touch them, Mr. Larkin? You can if you want, but you must answer my question.”

Finnegan was not embarrassed about being caught staring. “Ms. Wahlstrom, you’re such an open- minded person. I’m curious to know what your grandpa said when he asked you to

meet me.”

“Grandpa told me to seduce you and sleep with you if I had the chance. And I’ve always been an open- minded person. Do you want me to park the car by the side of the road so that you can experience it yourself?”

The corner of Finnegan’s lips twitched. Her straightforwardness caught him off guard.

He cleared his throat and looked away. “I’m afraid I might not recover if I fall for your seduction. Why don’t you tell me more about the Chomsky family?”

Rolling her eyes flirtatiously, Alisha said, “Killian suddenly developed a strange illness where his limbs would twist and deform every hour and cause him to suffer in pain. Tristan has been searching for experts to treat him, but so far, there hasn’t been any progress. He has also ordered his men to investigate your whereabouts in the last five years”

The turn of events was not unexpected. “Let him continue with his investigation, then

Tristan has been searching for experts to treat him, but so far, there hasn’t been any progress. He has also ordered his men to investigate your whereabouts in the last five years.”

The turn of events was not unexpected. “Let him continue with his investigation, then.”

Finnegan had been living in the mountains for the last five years. He was certain that no one else, except the elites, could find out about his past.

Alisha tested the waters by asking Finnegan, “Mr. Lakin, do you think we can settle your old scores with the Chomsky family? If you agree, my grandpa can eliminate them from

Jadeborough in ten days.

“Have you ever thought about the true sweetness of revenge?” Finnegan’s eyes darkened as he spoke. “Most people believe that killing off your enemies once and for all is the best method, but to me, it’s much more satisfying to drive them to the brink of despair, offer them a false glimmer of hope, and then ultimately force them to plunge into eternal darkness. That’s how I want to unleash my anger.”

His words sent chills up Alisha’s spine.

His approach of pushing the Chomsky family into despair and then destroying them reminded her of the boiling frog analogy.

The thought of his revenge method caused Alisha to shudder, and she could not help but sympathize with the Chomskys.

Finnegan said, “Just do as I say. Your grandpa must have given you all the necessary information. Don’t ask too many questions.”

Alisha nodded in response and sent him to the car dealership.

Finnegan got out of the car outside the premises, as he did not want Rhiannon to see him in a Ferrari.

After watching Finnegan step into the car dealership, Alisha gave her grandfather a call. “Grandpa, who on earth is that man? He’s younger than me but exudes an aura that stresses. me out. There were even times I felt he could see right through me.”

“Don’t ask so many questions. Just do the Wahlstrom family a favor by getting him in bed!” Theoden replied.

Alisha rolled her eyes at her grandfather’s bluntness. Is it appropriate for a grandfather to speak to his granddaughter like that?
