Chapter 285 I Still Do Not Feel At Ease Where did the Sable family get the confidence to take revenge on Finnegan?
Obviously, it came from their status and family background, as well as their network of connections.
Without these, they wouldnât dare or even be qualified to make enemies of Finnegan.
With that thought in mind, Reginaldâs eyes twitched. âCould it be?â
Knowing that Reginald had already guessed it, Hailey replied, âThatâs right. The confidence you have in seeking revenge against Mr. Larkin comes from your familyâs status and background, as well as your network of connections. On top of that, thereâs also the foundation of the Sable family-Regi Group!â
Without Regi Group, the Sable family would lose their confidence, not to mention their desire for on Finnegan.
Mike had a sudden realization and couldnât help but exclaim, âHe wants Regi Group?â
revenge Hailey sneered, âApart from Regi Group, what kind of bargaining chip do you think you have that can save the lives of the thirty-six members of your family and also convince Mr. Larkin that you no longer have the power to retaliate?â
Even if Finnegan didnât explicitly say it last night, Hailey knew what the former wanted.
He intended to dismantle the Sable family from the ground up, rendering them powerless and incapable of posing any threat to him.
That required the Sable family to lose their biggest asset-Regi Group.
The veins on Mikeâs forehead throbbed.
Forgetting the pain, he could only feel anger. âImpossible, absolutely impossible!â
The market value of Regi Group exceeded five hundred billion. As the largest shareholder, the Sable family held thirty-seven percent of the shares worth two hundred billion.
That laid the foundation for the Sable family to become one of the ten prominent families of Jadeborough.
If Regi Group was given to Finnegan, the Sable family would inevitably fall from grace and become an ordinary family.
It was a fate that was unacceptable to them.
Hailey sneered, âCanât bear to part with it? Then prepare to die. When the time comes and youâre all gone, wonât the Regi Group just end up in someone elseâs hands?â
Upon hearing this, the already pale Mike froze.
Yes, indeed! If everyone in the Sable family were to die, wouldnât Regi Group end up belonging to someone else?
Seeing that Mike had already thought it through, Hailey said, âI urge you all to consider this carefully.
The most important thing is to be alive. What use is all the money in the world if youâre not around to enjoy it?â
Once she finished, Hailey had someone help Mike to his feet, chair and all, before preparing to leave.
âWait!â
It seemed as if Reginald had come to some kind of décision as he called out to her in a low voice.
Hailey asked, âHave you made your decision?â
Taking a deep breath, Reginald asked, âDid Finnegan give you a hint? Is that why youâre telling us this?â
âMr. Larkin has never given me any hints, this is purely my own speculation. Besides, apart from using Regi Groupâs shares as a lifeline, what other methods can you reassure Mr. Larkin of your intentions?â
Reginald was about to respond when Hailey preempted him, âSo, you should seriously consider giving up your wealth to save yourself. After all, money is less important than your life!â
With that, Hailey didnât say more. She strode out of the living hall, leaving only a few elite guards from the Wahlstrom family behind.
Mike coughed up a mouthful of blood and asked, âDad? Is it true what Hailey just said? Does Finnegan want the Sable familyâs shares in Regi Group?â
Reginald remained silent, his expression gloomy.
Thinking that his father didnât hear him, Mike called out, âDad, say something!â
Reginald opened his mouth and sighed. âAlthough this is just Haileyâs conjecture, her analysis makes a lot of sense. We have no other choice in the Sable family but to use the shares of Regi Group as a bargaining chip!â
Mike protested, âBut isnât this daylight robbery?â
Reginald gave a bitter smile. âWho in this world hasnât gained their power through plundering? Even the Sable familyâs initial development was achieved by taking over small companies and businesses, wasnât it? However, I still need to think about it, to see if a compromise can be made.â
Soon, it was past three in the afternoon.
Finnegan was just about to head to Firebird Group when he received a call from Hailey. This happened as he was planning to visit the Zimmerman residence with Bernice in the evening.
After waiting for a whole day, Finnegan laughed and said, âIt seems that Reginald has made a decision, hasnât he? So, what kind of bargaining chip did they offer to save their lives, something that could spare their lives and also put me at ease?â
With a respectful tone, Hailey replied, âReginald said that as long as you can spare the thirty-six members of the Sable family, he is willing to offer seventeen percent of the shares in Regi Group in return. He also mentioned that this would make the Sable family and you share the same interests, thatâs how they can reassure you that they will not seek revenge on you!â
Narrowing his eyes, Finnegan asked, âDid you say something to the father and son?â
Last At this moment, Hailey was in the garden of the Sable residence, making a call to Finnegan.
Stunned by Finneganâs tone, she felt her body freeze. âMr. Larkin, I indeed made some suggestions, but I assure you, I have no ulterior motive.â
She quickly relayed everything she had discussed with Reginald and Mike, as well as her own conjectures without leaving anything out.
After hearing this, Finnegan sneered, âHailey, you truly are an incredibly clever woman. Itâs a pity that Liam didnât fully appreciate your talents. Butâ¦â
Pausing for a moment, Finneganâs tone turned slightly colder. âI really donât appreciate others speculating on my thoughts, especially on matters like this.â
As the words were spoken by Hailey, others would certainly not think that it was speculation on Haileyâs part, but something he had Hailey suggest to the Sable family.
It would consequently look like he had been plotting to seize the Sable familyâs assets from the very beginning!
Hailey became anxious. âMr. Larkin, the Sable family simply have no other choice⦠besides offering shares in Regi Groupâ¦â
Finnegan knew what Hailey was about to say and interrupted her blatantly, âWhat I want to think about is my business, not something you can dictate. Do you think Reginald canât figure it out on his own?
Does he really need you to tell him?â
At that moment, Hailey finally understood the situation.
Finnegan indeed wished for the Sable family to give up their wealth to save themselves, but what he had hoped for was for the Sable family to suggest it themselves.
Only by doing so could he silence any critics or rumors.
Having realized this, Hailey felt uneasy about her unilateral actions. âMr. Larkin, Iâm sorry. I just did it because I didnât want to waste your time.â
âAlright.â Finnegan certainly understood Haileyâs desire to prove herself. âMake sure it wonât happen again. Otherwise, all the promises Iâve made to you will no longer stand!â
âUnderstood! But how should I respond to Reginald now?â
With a snigger, Finnegan said, âBy offering seventeen percent, the Sable family still retains twenty percent, worth tens of billions. Thereâs no way I can feel at ease!
He implied that the Sable family still had the capability and confidence to retaliate against him.
Hailey understood instantly, but this time she didnât dare to act on her own accord. âSo, what are you looking for?â
âTell Reginald that I donât feel reassured. As for the rest you donât need to say more! Alsoâ¦â
At this point, a murderous intent flashed in Finneganâs eyes. âTake out three of the Sable familyâs collateral descendants to alarm Reginald. I want him to know Iâm running out of patience!â
Hailey replied, âUnderstood.â
Upon ending the call, Finnegan slipped his phone back into his pocket.
âReginald, I hope you can see things more clearly, so both I and the Wright family can rest easy.
Otherwise, thereâs no reason for the Sable family to exist!â
