Chapter 133 Beat Him Up Twice At the sight of the police cars, Solomon immediately assumed that Finnegan had called the police.
Finnegan had intended to offer an explanation, but he quickly closed his mouth upon reflection.
Solomon was undoubtedly convinced that Finnegan had alerted the police, rendering any explanation futile.
The Zymons familyâs elites panicked upon seeing the police cars.
Darkness had existed since ancient times, yet it had never dared to confront the light.
They tossed their batons and machetes while gathering in a circle.
The convoy of police cars came to a halt, and more than two hundred armed police officers swiftly got out, forming a perimeter around the vicinity.
âCaptain Quickwood!â A few police officers ran over to Romona.
Solomonâs expression changed. âCaptain of the police department?â
Despite the public setting, Romona didnât restrain herself. She delivered a forceful kick to Solomonâs abdomen and commanded, âBring everyone back. No one can be bailed out. Put those who instigate any disturbance straight in jail!â
The police officers swarmed forward, and the Zymons familyâs elites dared not put up a fight.
Solomonâs wrists were secured in handcuffs, and he no longer exuded the air of an arrogant scion of the Zymons family.
Before leaving, he glared at Finnegan. âHow dare you subject me to this humiliation? Just you wait.
Youâve successfully ignited my wrath!â
Romona stepped forward and gave him a tight slap.
âHow dare you threaten someone right in front of me? Bring him back and give him a beating. Iâll bear the responsibility.â
Romona kicked Solomon, silencing his upcoming insults. âTake him back, and beat him up twice!â
Soon, Solomon and approximately eighty members of the Zymons familyâs elite were escorted away, allowing the street to return to its state of tranquility.
Finnegan acted like an outsider and stretched himself. âIt feels good to be protected. Casper, close the door. Letâs go home.â
Romona didnât leave with the others and grabbed Finnegan, insisting, âCome with me tonight!â
Despite the malice in her expression, she didnât come across as intimidating. Instead, her good looks evoked a sense of possessiveness.
Casper cleared his throat. âWell, you guys can talk. Iâm gonna go.â
O He hurriedly left the scene as if afraid of being detained if he didnât make a swift exit.
Feeling exasperated, Finnegan pushed Romonaâs hand away. âCaptain Quickwood, I know Iâm a charmin man, but please stop bothering me. Solomon insulted you tonight, so I suggest you return and do whatever you can to make him and the Zymons family pay.â
Romona snorted. âKeep dreaming! Iâm aware of your intention to assist the Wahlstrom family in escapin trouble, but itâs futile. There are certain unwritten rules even I must adhere to unless Solomonâs actions have a detrimental impact on society.â
Finnegan frowned. âCan I take it that Solomon will be released soon?â
He didnât want Solomon to get released that soon.
Romona responded, âSure, he had a lot of his cronies with him tonight, but did they cause you any harm Someone of his status can easily secure his release. At most, he might spend a week behind bars.â
That makes sense.
Finnegan sighed inwardly. âIt looks like Iâll have to come up with a solution myself to permanently resolv this issue.â
âStop talking nonsense. Come home with me!â
âF*ck! What do you want? Iâm not a loose man.â
âThen take me for a loose woman!â
When Finnegan was pestered by Romona, Liam returned home to receive Axelâs report.
After listening to the details, Liam let out a derisive snort. âAs I suspected, Finnegan doesnât have strong connections with the Miles family or the Haimowitz family. He had to rely on the police department for help.â
Axel asked, âMr. Sable, are we not doing anything?â
âAs I mentioned this morning, weâll simply observe from the sidelines,â Liam replied, a wicked smile forming on his lips. âOnce Mr. Zymons realizes heâs been outsmarted, he wonât let Finnegan off the hook easily. Heâll take care of the matter for me. There is no need for me to do anything that might upset Bernie.â
Axel nodded. âGot it!â
At a two-and-a-half-story villa with a courtyard, Finnegan was engaged in an argument with Romona.
âCaptain Quickwood, I assure you, Iâm not a loose man, so donât mess around. Besides, you come from the esteemed Quickwood family, while Iâm just an ordinary citizen. Donât degrade yourself. Let me go. I am unworthy of your attention,â Finnegan insisted with a terrified expression as he was dragged all the way to Romonaâs house.
He acted as though she was going to bully him soon.
âFinnegan, why are you treating me like this? Have I done something to deserve it? Why do you keep rejecting me?â Komonaâs voice trembled with anger, and her eyes turned red.
III O She had never experienced such a profound sense of defeat before in her life.
The b*stard is too much.
âYouâre a great woman, and I donât hold any negative feelings toward you,â Finnegan responded earnestly. Seeing that she was on the verge of tears, he hurriedly clarified, âItâs just that I have a preference for women who are more ladylike and gentle in their demeanor.â
Romonaâs anger intensified. âAre you saying Iâm not ladylike and gentle?â
Finnegan tactfully shut up.
You may be a woman, but you have a boyish demeanor!
As Finnegan didnât respond, Romona harrumphed, âDonât move. Otherwise, even if you go home, Iâll barge into your house and get you back.â
After that, Romona marched into her room and slammed the door shut.
Finnegan flashed a helpless smile. âSheâs really fierce!â
He could have left and returned home, but he hesitated due to Romonaâs fiery temper.
He couldnât dismiss her claims that she might come looking for him in Dragon Bay.
What does she have in mind?
Over ten minutes later, Finnegan grew impatient.
Abruptly, the lights in the living room flickered, casting a warm, subdued orange glow that gradually dimmed the room.
The speaker hidden somewhere began to play soft and melodious music.
Finnegan felt that something terrifying was about to happen, so he quickly sat up.
Ten seconds later, the door to the bedroom opened.
Finnegan saw a leg clad in black stocking stretch out.
His eyes widened incredulously, and his jaw dropped.
What the f*ck? Donât tell me sheâs honoring the bet?
As that possibility occurred to Finnegan, Romona walked out of the bedroom, her cheeks as red as an apple.
She began swaying along to the music.
Finnegan gulped, his mind going blank.
Romona stood before him, clad in nothing but black stockings and a red tulle that covered her undergarments.
III O <
It was a shocking sight to see her twist her body in front of him.
Finnegan was still in a daze after the music came to an end.
Since her youth, Romona had received ample training in dancing, making it an easy task for her.
Romonaâs mood lifted when she saw Finneganâs dazed expression and the faint blush on the tips of his ears.
âSee that? Do you still think Iâm not ladylike and elegant? Will you insult me again?â
Suddenly, Finnegan got up and rushed to the bathroom. âI need to use your bathroom!â
