Chapter 58 A Fate Worse Than Death âFinn!â
Rhiannon was overwhelmed by a sense of relief the moment she saw Finnegan. With tears in her eyes, she rushed forward to hug him.
Suppressing his murderous aura, Finnegan comforted her, âYouâre safe now. Iâll make sure those who bully you will pay a heavy price!â
After having her cheeks torn and losing a few teeth from Finneganâs slap, the terrified Xandra pleaded for mercy.
âFinnegan, Amelia and her brother started this. I have nothing to do with it at all. On top of that, I was set up by them too. Amelia forced me to spend time with that fatty, Larry, over the weekend. Last Friday at Ark, Dexter was just acting tough, as he couldnât afford the bill in reality. Not only did he pawn Ameliaâs car, but he also borrowed eight hundred thousand. from Larry on the condition that he hooks the latter up with a few university girls. Rhia, please help me persuade your brother!â
Teary-eyed, Rhiannon stared at Xandra in disbelief. âWhat did you say?
She had thought that Amelia was sincerely trying to help her and didnât expect it to be a trap.
At that moment, Larry, blood oozing down his forehead, pushed aside the door that was pinning him down and got to his feet. âDâmn it, how dare you cause trouble at Pentariver Group? Youâre done for, kid. Iâm going to kill your entire family!â
A cold glint flashed across Finneganâs eyes, triggering a burning rage in them.
Nonetheless, he was mindful of not letting Rhiannon witness the gruesomeness of what was about to occur. âRhia, why donât you wait outside for me?â
âFinn, weâre in Pentariver Group. Why donât we just let it go?â
â
âEven if weâre in Durbaine, Iâll never forgive those who lay a finger on you!â
Rhiannon was touched by the fury displayed by her brother. âBe careful, Finn.â
The panicking Xandra yelled, âRhia, take me with you.â
However, Rhiannon gave her a look of disappointment before walking right out.
Grabbing her hair, Finnegan smashed Xandra against the wall. He didnât hold himself back on the account she was a woman.

Obviously, there was no way the petite Xandra could survive the impact unscathed.
Having fractured two ribs, she collapsed onto the ground with no energy left to cry out.
Thereafter, the grim-looking Finnegan walked toward Larry. âHow dare you take advantage. of my sister!â
Finally stricken by fear, Larry staggered backward.
âDonât do anything rash. Iâm the general manager of Pentariver Groupâs sales department, a high-
ranking staff. Also, the Haimowitz family is one of Jadeboroughâs ten more prominent families. If you lay a finger on me-
Finnegan didnât give him an opportunity to continue.
Taking a single step forward, he narrowed the distance between them down to mere inches.
With Finnegan standing in his face, Larry threw a punch at him in panic.
Unfortunately for him, the frosty-looking Finnegan intercepted the punch with his hand. Thereafter, he tightened his grip while gradually twisting the fist in its grasp.
As an agonizing pain shot through Larryâs arms, his arm was contorted like the braids of a rope. Terror engulfed him in that very instant. âNo, let go of me! Let go of me!â
Nevertheless, with no intention of doing so, Finnegan crushed Larryâs fist with brute force. alone.
The moment the excruciating pain engulfed his entire being, Larry let out an uncontrollable howl.
The cry was so harrowing that Rhiannon, who was already outside, felt a chill down her spine.
Only by quickly covering her ears did she alleviate the fear she felt within.
Even then, Finnegan didnât stop as he continued to twist Larryâs arm till it was gruesomely broken.
When the pain overwhelmed his senses, Larry lost consciousness in the end.
In spite of that, Finnegan had no intention of letting up.
He stomped on Larryâs ribs, breaking three of them in the process. The resulting pain jolted. Larry awake, causing him to cry out in agony a second time.
Thereafter, Finnegan squatted in front of him as if he was an artist about to commence with his performance. Starting from Larryâs fingers, Finnegan crushed every bone inside Larry. He did so inch by inch, making sure he didnât leave out any part.
During the process, Finnegan maintained a delicate balance so that Larry didnât die on him. Instead, he wanted Larry to suffer a fate worse than death.
When Xandra, who had managed to catch her breath, witnessed the scene before her, her face lost all color while her body shook in fear.
If not for the stench in the air, she wouldnât have realized that she had peed herself.
At the same time, Larryâs screams continued to reverberate throughout the room.
When the anxious Finnegan barged into the building earlier after receiving Rhiannonâs call, he had beaten up more than ten security guards. Now, tens of bodyguards had arrived, alongside Winston and the others who were preparing for a shareholdersâ meeting.
Furthermore, more than twenty other bodyguards of the Haimowitz family were present.
When they came up the stairs, they could immediately hear the harrowed cries of a man, Jessicaâs expression drastically changed when she recognized the voice. âThatâs Mr. Zaneâs scream!â
Winston naturally heard the same. With a grim look on his face, he walked forward with Wynterâs assistance as he ordered, âSeal all the exits on this floor. I want to see who has the audacity to cause trouble at Pentariver Group in broad daylight.â
Winston was visibly outraged, unnerving members of the Haimowitz family and the senior management of Pentariver Group.
All of them secretly offered their âcondolencesâ to the troublemaker.
Rhiannon, who was hiding in the corner, felt her anxiety intensify. As she cast her fear she began to rack her brains on what to do.
away, Soon, Winston and his subordinates arrived at the door.
The sight of them brought hope to the terrified Xandra. Enduring the pain, she yelled, âHelp!
Save me!â
Larry, in the midst of his despair, cried out weakly, âOld Mr. Haimowitz, help me!â
âMr. Larkin?â
Winston was stunned the moment he realized Finnegan was the one assaulting Larry.
r Cadmus and the other members of the family were equally shocked.
Why is he the troublemaker? What in the world is going on?
However, the questions in their minds were quickly swept away by the cruelty Finnegan displayed.
The sight of Larryâs twisted arm and crushed limbs triggered a bone-chilling fear within. them. Even Winston, who had supposedly seen it all, turned pale while his hands. subconsciously clenched into fists.
As if he was unaware of their arrival, Finnegan stopped the beating and got to his feet. He looked as if what he did was just a trivial matter.
Thereafter, he turned around to look at the crowd that had arrived.
In front of them, he stomped on Larryâs groin with all his might, causing a loud squish to echo in the air.
Despite drowning in agony, Larry opened his eyes wide before losing consciousness with a scream.
Every single man present pinched their legs instinctively upon witnessing the scene.
Slapping his hands to clear it of dust, Finnegan finally faced Winston and the others. âAre you going to detain me?â
The first to regain her senses, Jessica exclaimed, âItâs you, that lunatic who faked being rich with the relocation funds! Old Mr. Haimowitz-
Slap!
Winston slapped her forcefully before she could finish. âShut your trap!â
Hurrying forward while suppressing the trauma from witnessing Finneganâs brutality, Winston replied, âMr. Larkin, thatâs the last thing on our minds. Itâs just that what in the world happened here?â
Jessica and the other members of the senior management were shocked. Why does Old Mr. Haimowitz seem intent on letting him go?
Finnegan answered coldly, âIn that case, please summon Dexter of the sales department here along with his sister.â
