Chapter 59 I Want Them Dead Upon realizing that Finnegan was the troublemaker, Winston quickly decided that the former had to be satisfied no matter what.
Winston quickly dismissed those who were unimportant before ordering Felix to get Dexter and his sister to come over.
After that, he had his bodyguards question Xandra.
As she was nothing more than a gold digger, she obviously didnât have the courage to hide the truth.
After she spilled the beans on Dexter and his sisterâs plan, she dropped to her knees and prostrated in front of Winston.
âOld Mr. Haimowitz, I have nothing to do with this. In fact, Iâm a victim too!â
The truth infuriated Winston.
Arenât they just destroying the Haimowitz familyâs relationship with Finnegan?
In a fit of rage, he whacked Xandra with his walking stick. âYou might not be the mastermind, but youâre clearly complicit in this and deserve to be punished!â
âGrandpa, theyâre here.â
Felix had arrived from the sales department.
After pushing Xandra aside with his cane, Winston replied with a solemn expression. âLet them enter.â
Felix yelled at the door. âCome in!â
When they first learned that Winston wanted to see them, Dexter and Amelia were actually delighted.
Nonetheless, the siblings were dumbfounded by the sight of the gruesomely beaten Larry and the pathetic-looking Xandra. Upon noticing Finnegan standing by their side with a scowl on his face, the two of them froze as if they had been struck by lightning.
Whatâs going on? Have we been exposed?
Winston raised his cane in an attempt to strike the siblings. âHow dare you conduct such unscrupulous business within the confines of Pentariver Group?â
r After being hit, the siblings quickly realized that they had been found out.
Dexter quickly held Ameliaâs hand as both of them dropped to their knees. âOld Mr. Haimowitz, this has nothing to do with us. We just recommended some students to have their internship here. It was Mr.
Zane. He forced me to do it by threatening to fire me if I didnât.â
Now that Larry was unconscious and unable to defend himself, Dexter used the opportunity to shift the blame to the former.
Together with her brother, Amelia pleaded for mercy. âThatâs right. It was Mr. Zane all along Not only did he threaten my brother, but he also forced my classmate and me to spend two days with him. If we disobeyed, he would fire my brother and end our internship at Pentariver Group.â
If Winston hadnât heard the truth from Xandra earlier, he would have bought their story.
Unfortunately, their lies further outraged him and increased his disdain for them. After that, Winston bowed to Finnegan. âMr. Larkin, the lapses of our company has caused your sister to be hurt. However you want to remedy this, I, Winston Haimowitz, will cooperate unconditionally.â
Jolted by Winstonâs response, the siblings turn to look at Finnegan.
Isnât he just a lunatic who pretended to be rich with the eviction compensation? Why is Old Mr.
Haimowitz showing him so much respect, to the extent of addressing him so politely?
The siblings just couldnât make sense of it, yet it wasnât lost upon them that their fate lay in Finneganâs hands. Amelia quickly turned toward Finnegan and bowed in apology. âFinnegan, this was all Mr.
Zaneâs idea. We were forced into it by him. Also, Iâm Rhiaâs dormmate and classmate, so please, show us some mercy.â
Despite his reluctance to beg, Dexter had no choice but to follow suit. âFinnegan, we lost our senses for some reason. Please forgive us this one time.â
Nonetheless, Finnegan couldnât be bothered and didnât even spare them a pitiful glance.
Upon walking past Winston, he declared in a piercing tone, âI want them dead!â
With that, he walked out of the room.
Pissing themselves in fear, Dexter and Amelia wailed, âFinnegan, no!â
Thereafter, the terrified Dexter turned around and hugged Jessicaâs thigh. âDarling, help me beg for mercy from Old Mr. Haimowitz, hurry!â
At that moment, Jessica racked her brain on how to sever all ties with him.
r Surprised by Dexterâs attempt to get her involved, Jessica kicked him furiously. âYou should bear the consequences of your own actions and not drag me into it. Besides, both of you deserve this for doing something like that behind my back!â
She then frantically explained to Winston, âOld Mr. Haimowitz, I might be in a relationship. with Dexter, but I know nothing of this!â
A flurry of emotions flashed across Winstonâs face before he turned around. âCadmus, since youâll be taking over Pentariver Group soon, Iâll let you deal with this. Make sure Mr. Larkin is satisfied with the solution.â
His words filled Dexter and the rest with despair.
Back in the chairmanâs office, Winston and the others stood nervously by the side as Finnegan gave Rhiannon treatment.
He discovered that Rhiannon had lost her ability to think clearly after being drugged. Hence, he knocked her out before bringing her up to the chairmanâs office for treatment. At the same time, he regretted not teaching Dexter and Amelia a lesson before they were sent to their deaths.
Not only did they ensnare Rhiannon, but they also dared to use such a potent drug on her.
After treating Rhiannon for some time, Finnegan finally cleared her body of the drugâs effects. In spite of that, he didnât wake her for the time being.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Larkin.â
When he saw that Finnegan was done, Winston spoke in an apologetic tone. âPlease forgive me for the indiscretion of my staff.â After a brief pause, he added, âAlso, if Ms. Larkin is still keen on working in Pentariver Group, Iâll appoint her as Felixâs secretary.â
Finnegan threw Winston an icy glance. âI know what youâre up to, but your grandson isnât worthy of my sister.â
Although Winston appeared to be making things right, the underlying intentions he harbored werenât lost upon Finnegan. He had hoped to get her on his side by planting her close to his grandson.
Having his intentions unexpectedly revealed, the panicking Winston apologized, âIâm sorry, Mr. Larkin.â
Upon retracting his gaze, Finnegan sat beside Rhiannon and stroke her hair sympathetically.
Soon, Cadmus returned to the office.
When Winston gave him a knowing look, he quickly understood and came forward to report, âMr. Larkin, the Rogan siblings, Xandra, and Larry have died in an accident that left no trace of their bodies. As for Jessica, who was oblivious to the plan, Iâve fired her and ordered her to leave Jadeborough for the time being.â
âThatâs not enough!â
Hmm?
Winston was momentarily stunned before coming forward to ask, âWe await your further instructions, Mr. Larkin.
A cold glint flashed across Finneganâs eyes. âWhen a child does wrong, the parents are at fault. After what they have done, their parents canât be much better than them given what they have done.
Besides, they will be cause for trouble if we donât root out every single one of them.â
Is he suggesting we massacre the entire family?
Even though he had seen how brutal Finnegan could be, Winston realized then that he had underestimated the latterâs brutality.
Nevertheless, Winston nodded upon recovering from his shock. âBenjamin, Iâll leave this with you.
âUnderstood!â
Confident that the Haimowitz family would deal with the matter appropriately, Finnegant gently tapped on the spot between Rhiannonâs eyebrows, causing her to gradually open her eyes.
Rhiannon, upon recovering from the momentary grogginess, quickly sat up and hugged Finnegan the moment she saw him. âFinn, is everything all right?â
Amidst everyoneâs astonished gazes, Finnegan looked as if he had transformed into an entirely different person-a loving brother. He broke into a gentle smile. âEverything is fine. Old Mr. Haimowitz has learned of what happened and resolved the matter accordingly.â
Turning around, he gave Winston a thoughtful look. âIsnât that right, Old Mr. Haimowitz?â
