Chapter 157 Because Of You All Vilmar and Matthias were fatally shot.
Despite the late hour, the news quickly spread among all parties involved.
Alisha, who had just settled down to sleep, received a chilling phone call. âWhat has Finnegan done?â
Initially, Finnegan claimed he wouldnât hold a grudge against a dying man.
However, he later asked Alisha to keep an eye on Vilmar and his group and report the results in the morning.
Therefore, Alisha could never believe that this matter had nothing to do with Finnegan, even if it meant her demise.
What on earth did you do?
No longer feeling sleepy, she immediately made a call. âKeep a close watch on the matter and conduct a thorough investigation!â
In Bellridge, the Royle, Black, and Green families also received a call from the Jadeborough Police Department and rushed over during the night.
Simultaneously, they used their connections to pressure the Jadeborough Police Department into conducting a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
Tyrone, who always paid close attention to anything involving Finnegan, was awakened by Leonardo, who informed him of what had transpired.
The Upon hearing this, Tyrone furrowed his brow. âSo, Vilmar and Matthias forced themselves on Ariendel and even attacked the police officers present, only to meet their demise?â
Leonardo nodded. âDozens of people witnessed it at the scene. But I have a feeling this is connected to Finnegan. He seems to possess such capabilities.â
Anyone who dared to oppose Finnegan, such as Python and Killian, experienced strange and inexplicable events.
Tyrone narrowed his eyes and said, âThe matter is undoubtedly linked to Finnegan, but how he accomplished it is not important. What matters is⦠I must start taking him more seriously.â
âYou need to take him more seriously? Why?â
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Tyroneâs eyes as he walked over to the window.
Gazing at the artificial pond in the distance, he said, âHe possesses such abilities and has a good relationship with the Wahlstrom family. How can I not take him seriously?â
Leonardo asked, âWhat are your instructions, Mr. Calandrino?â
Tyrone turned around and said, âFirst, letâs determine whether the Wright familyâs involvement tonight was a coincidence or because of Finnegan. Instruct the Mackle family to temporarily set aside their <
resentment over Toddâs severed hand and refrain from taking any retaliatory actions against Finnegan.
As for the rest, letâs observe how events unfold. Weâll wait until a victor emerges in the battle between the Wahlstrom family and the Zymons family!â
Leonardo responded, âUnderstood!â
Tyrone glanced back out the window. âI have been planning for so many years; I cannot allow Finnegan to become an unpredictable factor.â
The sky was beginning to brighten.
After a busy night, Romona, dressed casually, arrived at the Wright residence. She followed Stephen to Nathanâs courtyard.
Nathan, who had just woken up, was having breakfast.
Upon seeing them, he greeted them with a warm smile. âWhat perfect timing! Come, sit down and join me for breakfast.â
âDo I look like Iâm in the mood?â
With a pout, Romona sat down, looking visibly annoyed.
Smiling, Nathan handed her a croissant. âWho has upset our Ms. Quickwood like this?â
âItâs all because of you!â Romona huffed. âIâm certain Finnegan was behind what happened last night, but you told me not to focus on him. Plus, you wonât tell me what Finnegan truly is. How can I not be angry?â
Nathan chuckled and asked, âHow did Finnegan become someone you describe with âwhatâ?
Furthermore, Finnegan didnât even go to the hospital last night; how could he possibly be involved?â
Romona snorted again. âStill, I feel it has something to do with Finnegan.â
âOh, you!â
With a sense of helplessness, Nathan gave a wry smile.
Stephen asked, âSo, what is the final result of your investigation?â
Mentioning that made the displeasure on Romonaâs face vanish. âAccording to the surveillance footage and testimonies of witnesses, Vilmar and Matthias were clearly not in their right minds. Therefore, the police departmentâs forensic team conducted an autopsy immediately after the Royle family arrived.
However, they found no issues, not even a trace of any unusual drug residues. After thoroughly examining the ward, we found no drugs that could affect the human mind. It appears that Vilmar and Matthias were simply audacious and perverted beyond measure. They dug their own graves!â
Stephen was somewhat puzzled. âI have met Vilmar before. He doesnât seem like the type to do that.â
Nathan, however, remained expressionless. âWill the Royle family and the Green family accept this explanation?â
âTo avoid any scandals that could harm their companies, they have all agreed!â Romona replied. âBut I can tell they are only accepting it on the surface. It seems they are already reaching out to other coroners.â
I After a pause, she continued, âFurthermore, the Royle family has arranged for someone to investigate last nightâs incident, which means they are looking into Finnegan.â
Nathan asked, âWhat about the Black family?â
âThe Black family had no objections to this outcome and are demanding an explanation from the Royle and Green families.â
âLetâs put an end to it here.â
Huh?
Romona had been wondering if Nathan would summon Finnegan for questioning. Unexpectedly, Nathan decided to conclude the matter then and there.
âGranddad, are you not going to have Finnegan come over for interrogation?â
However, Nathan did not answer Romonaâs question.
Turning to Stephen, he asked, âDo any of the families of those with gastric bleeding have objections?â
Stephen replied, âTheir children were the ones who initiated the wrongdoing, and they know you are already investigating the matter, so they had no objections. Therefore, they have already brought their children back to Bellridge!â
Nodding, Nathan chuckled. âThen letâs not concern ourselves with these trivial matters any longer.
From now on, letâs focus solely on the conflict between the Wahlstrom and Zymons families today. We absolutely cannot allow them to disrupt the stability of Jadeborough!â
Romona felt somewhat annoyed, but she had no choice but to follow Stephenâs lead. âUnderstood!â
It was a little past nine in the morning.
Yawning, Finnegan emerged from his room.
Having spent a sleepless night, Alisha, who was on the verge of bursting into his room, quickly approached. âHow did Vilmar and Matthias die?â
âAre they dead?â Finnegan looked surprised. âWhat the heck, whatâs going on?â
Alishaâs red lips moved silently.
In that moment, Finneganâs innocent and bewildered expression left her somewhat stunned.
Could I have been mistaken?
But before such a thought could fully form in Alishaâs mind, she quickly dismissed it âStop pretending I know this definitely has something to do with you. How did you do it?â
âWhat does it have to do with me? Donât you dare falsely accuse an innocent person!â Finnegan protested loudly.
Alisha was exasperated. âYouâ
She held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, realizing that if Finnegan chose not to speak, no amount of questioning would help. âWhat would you like for breakfast?â
Finnegan stretched lazily and said, âForget about breakfast. Iâll just grab something on my way home.
Tell me what happened last night and everyoneâs attitudes.â
Muttering under her breath, Alisha recounted everything to Finnegan.
Finnegan rubbed his nose and said, âAriendel is still alive? I thought she would have been killed if she didnât cooperate.â
Alisha huffed. âI can only say that your plan still has some flaws since one person survived. But Ariendelâs current state is no different from being dead. I heard she has become reclusive and canât even speak anymore.â
Yawning once again, Finnegan seemed to have missed the first half of what Alisha said.
âAs long as no one bothers me anymore, she can do as she pleases.â
Turning around, he walked towards Doom Starâs room, ignoring Alishaâs resentful gaze.
Just as he was about to knock, Doom Star had already opened the door and stepped out.
Finnegan lowered his hand. âAre you leasing?â
