Chapter 88 He Will Not Dare
With a dark glint in his eyes, Liam demanded, “I can give you some time to break Bernie, but the
formulas… You must hand them over now!”
up with
According to his understanding, the effects of those two formulas were remarkable. Anyone who got
their hands on them could rise to the top in the shortest amount of time.
Whether the Sable family could become Jadeborough’s wealthiest family and even rise to be Loang’s
most prestigious family would depend on the two medications.
A chilling glint flashed across Finnegan’s eyes as he charged toward Liam at lightning speed.
The expressions of the two men behind Liam swiftly changed when they saw Finnegan’s lunge. “Watch
out, Mr. Liam!”
However, Liam didn’t even have time to react.
Finnegan lifted his leg and swung it at Liam, sending the latter rolling across six meters of ground. The
water from the mud drenched his entire b*dy, making him look particularly wretched.
“I haven’t paid you back for last night’s incident, yet you dare come to me, flaunt your power, and
threaten me. Do you truly take me for being kind?”
“Stop!”
The rough-looking subordinate and dozen b*dyguards were about to retaliate, but Liam held his
midsection as he rose to his feet to stop them.
It wasn’t that Liam didn’t want to teach Finnegan a lesson, but he was aware that even all the men on
his side couldn’t defeat Finnegan in a fight.
Finnegan sneered. “At least you have some self-awareness. Otherwise, you’d have ended up like
Killian today.”
At his warning, Liam’s b*dy shook as comprehension dawned upon him.
When he investigated Finnegan’s background, naturally, he discovered the latter’s feud with the
Chomsky family
Can it be that Finnegan is behind Killian’s current situation?
That thought sent Liam into high alert, but he still considered Finnegan an easy target “I can give you
seven days to make the smart decision. Finnegan Or else, your Jerome Medical Clinic won’t be
opening next Friday, and you’ll be riddled with bad luck. Don’t even think

about complaining to Bernic. It’ll be pointless and only create more trouble for yourself.”
Once he finished, he held his midriff and hollered, “Let’s go!”
He didn’t expect a reply from Finnegan that day but was confident the latter would bow down to his
threat and agree if he was smart. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
After watching them get in their cars and leave, Finnegan retracted his gaze and said to Logan, “Sit for
a while. I have to go and make a call.”
Liam is ruthless. I need to inform Alisha to arrange for someone to secretly keep an eye on the people
at home in case Liam uses some underhanded method again.
“Aren’t you worried he’ll tell Ms. Zimmerman about what happened earlier, Mr. Liam?”
In the moving car, Hailey softly enquired as she gently rubbed Liam’s belly.
Liam answered viciously, “Bernie is only aware of him treating Mr. Miles and doesn’t know what
medication he used. Do you think he would have given her the formulas if she found out about the
matter and asked him for them?”
Hailey replied without hesitation, “Those formulas are worth tens of billions. Finnegan wouldn’t be
willing to part with them.”
Liam responded confidently. “Exactly! That’s why he definitely won’t let Bernie find out about my
meeting with him. All I need is for you to watch him and report back to me the minute you discover
anything.”
“Got it! But what if he still won’t bow down and take your offer after seven days?”
“Then, when Jerome Medical Clinic reopens next Friday, it will be the start of his misfortune.”
Once Finnegan returned after his call, Logan asked, “Has your temper gotten better? In the past, you
would’ve smacked that kind of person into a pulp or informed his elders after teaching him a lesson.”
Finnegan stared into the distance as he answered, “In the past, no matter what I did, nob*dy cared
when I was in the remote primal forest. Yet, in this bustling city, every tiny movement causes ripples
and gains unwanted attention. That isn’t my intention, but I’m not afraid. I just don’t want my family
implicated. I hope Liam doesn’t do anything stupid.”
Otherwise, despite my intention to lay low, I’ll make sure he regrets ever being born into this world.
Sensing Finnegan’s fleeting hostility, Logan silently prayed for Liam, hoping the latter wouldn’t take the
foolish route

“The roasted suckling pig is almost done. Mr. Sanchez even prepared some appetizers for us. He’ll
serve the whole meal after a while.”
The sky had been dark for a while when Stephen and Jace finally returned.
Logan asked, “Why did you guys take over an hour?”
He and Finnegan had no intention of telling them about Liam’s short visit, feeling it was a waste of time
to talk about that clown.
Jace responded with a smirk, “No choice. Mr. Wright wanted to stay with the pretty lady for a little
longer.”
Almost instantly, Stephen’s face flushed red. He swung his fist at Jace. “Don’t spew nonsense! She’s
only twenty-one this year and hasn’t even graduated from university. I only treat her like a little sister.”
Jace teased, “Little sister? But I saw the way you helped her with everything. That didn’t look. like an
older brother helping his little sister. Stephen, be more honest with yourself. What’s wrong with
admitting having feelings for Mr. Sanchez’s daughter? Moreover, that girl isn’t bad-looking. I’m sure the
Wright family won’t object to you marrying her.”
Stephen’s blush turned darker. “Stop spreading lies, Jace! I only see her as a little sister.”
Finnegan and Logan immediately understood and couldn’t help but laugh.
At that moment, a reserved girl dressed in a white dress with short shoulder-length hair slowly
approached them with a tray of dishes.
Finnegan turned to look and was stunned. “Nancy, what are you doing here?”
It was none other than Nancy Sanchez, Rhiannon’s cla*smate and dormmate.
Even though he had only met her that one time on Rhiannon’s birthday, she had left a good impression
on him.
Nancy was surprised too. “Finnegan?”
Stephen’s smile stiffened. “Both of you know each other?”
Jace watched the proceedings with growing interest.
Are Dr. Larkin and Stephen going to be love rivals?
Finnegan helped Nancy set the dishes on the table and explained, “Nancy is my sister’s cla*smate and
dorminate. I met her at my sister’s birthday once. She’s a nice girl

Relief flooded Stephen at Finnegan’s explanation.
He nodded. “Nancy is, indeed, a good girl. She’s clean, beautiful, and quiet. The most important thing
is she inherited Mr. Sanchez’s cooking skills. Even my grandpa praised her a few times whenever he
ate here.”
Jace leaned toward Stephen’s ear and whispered, “I see even Old Mr. Wright commends her. No
wonder you like her, but is she aware of your identity?”
An awkward expression crossed Stephen’s face as he replied softly, “Stop your nonsense. I really treat
her like a little sister. She doesn’t know about my identity. Grandpa hasn’t shown his face in public for a
few years now, and every time he came here, he took the taxi.”
Finnegan’s and Stephen’s praises caused Nancy to blush from shyness.
Flustered, she said, “Please sit. I have to help my father move something.”
Seeing her leave, Jace smacked Stephen’s shoulder heavily and said, “You have a good eye. This girl
is so innocent and shy. She’s a good girl, indeed.”
Stephen smiled bitterly. “How many times do I have to tell you that I only see her like a little
sister.”
“Sure! A little sister.”
Taking in how Finnegan calmly watched the two fool around, Logan silently lamented. Is he really a
twenty-three-year-old young man? It’s rare for me to see him acting like a young man. He seems more
like someone who has weathered many storms.
Before long, Nancy and her father, Bennett Sanchez, carried the remaining dishes over.
Upon seeing the man carrying the roasted suckling pig, Finnegan was stunned. Even Logan was
shocked.
