Chapter 60 Unwilling To Rely On You As astute as Winston was, he instantaneously fathomed Finneganâs intention.
He chirped. âMs. Larkin, Iâm truly sorry. After being informed of the circumstances, I dismissed all the employees involved in this matter. They left not long ago.â
Larry and the othersâ subsequent deaths were considered nothing more than an âaccident.â
Only then did Rhiannon notice Winston and the others.
She recomposed herself and hurriedly got to her feet. âGood day, Old Mr. Haimowitz!â
The Larkin family was an ordinary household, and she was just a third-year university student. Hence, Rhiannon had never met with an esteemed figure of society like Winston.
âYouâre being too polite, Ms. Larkin.â
Finnegan got up and patted Rhiannonâs shoulder. âDexter and the others have paid the price. Letâs go.
Iâll figure out a solution for your internship.â
He was actually quite reluctant to let his sister work for others.
However, Rhiannon sounded Winston out, âOld Mr. Haimowitz, in that case, may I continue. my internship here at Pentariver Group?â
Pentariver Group was one of the top ten corporations in Jadeborough, so it would be highly beneficial to her career following her graduation in one year if she could work as an intern there.
Finnegan arched his brow and hesitated to speak.
Sensing Finneganâs silence, Winston was overjoyed. He immediately uttered, âMy companyâs employees nearly harmed you, Ms. Larkin. To express my deepest apologies, youâre most certainly welcome to join Pentariver Group and can even be directly promoted to a full-time. position.â
âReally?â
Rhiannon, an innocent girl, was enraptured.
Winston nodded. âIf youâre willing to accept my proffer, Iâll arrange for you to work as my granddaughter, Wynterâs secretary. What do you think?â
Initially, he wanted Rhiannon to take up the position of Felixâs secretary. However, since Finnegan had seen through his plan, Winston didnât dare to suggest the venture.

Barely able to contain her excitement, Rhiannon turned to gaze at Finnegan. âFinn:
He stroked her smooth hair. âHave you made up your mind?â
Rhiannon was no longer a child. If she were truly interested, Finnegan wouldnât mind. supporting her decision.
She bobbed her head. âPentariver Group is an established corporation. Iâm confident working here will greatly benefit my future career.â
Comprehending his little sisterâs sincere wish. Finnegan said, âAll right, then. You donât have any working experience anyway, so you can learn under Ms. Haimowitzâs tutelage for now.â
Her speech also served as a reminder to members of the Haimowitz family, cueing them to bear in mind Rhiannon would start working at Pentariver Group for the sole purpose of learning and gaining exposure.
Winston, a shrewd man, was able to grasp the implicit message. Still, he didnât mind as long as she was inclined to join Pentariver Group. âIn that case, I shall represent Pentariver Group to welcome you, Ms. Larkin. You may start work officially tomorrow and directly report duty to Wynter.â
âThank you for giving me this opportunity, Old Mr. Haimowitz.â
Finnegan didnât extend his stay and left with Rhiannon shortly after.
Winston inexplicably relaxed following Finnegan and Rhiannonâs departure. He sat down with Wynterâs assistance.
The usually reticent Felix piped up in bafflement, âGrandpa, is this really necessary?â
Pentariver Groupâs staff was indeed the culprit of that incident. Still, Felix thought Winston didnât need to be so nervous and uneasy around Finnegan.
âWhat do you know?â Winston glared at his grandson. âDo you think heâs just a capable doctor adept at fighting?â
Felix replied with a frown, âPerhaps he managed to cure a few people, but do you have to accommodate him to this extent?â
Winston sighed before answering. âYou should learn from your father whenever youâre free.
Appearance can be deceiving. Mr. Larkin is not as simple and superficial as we think. Heâs not just a doctor with exceptional medical skills.â At that point, Winstonâs facial expression turned somber, and he lowered his voice. âHeâs also someone with very extensive and powerful connections. Youâll know what I mean in the future.â
After being informed of Wynterâs inexhaustive investigation, Winston personally hired someone to inquire secretly into Finneganâs background.
Although he failed to find out Finneganâs whereabouts in the past five years, he discovered that aside from the Haimowitz family, Jadeboroughâs Miles and Zimmerman families also youched for Finnegan when the latter was detained two days ago.
Secondly, a friend of his, working in the government department, told him the wealthiest clan of Nuthana, the Langdon family, and the most formidable faction of Walundâs underground circles, the Wahlstrom family, also covertly threw their weights behind Finnegan.
Finneganâs peerless medical skills and hidden connections rendered Winston unable not to revere him.
Nevertheless, it still wasnât the right time for him to divulge that information to Felix and the others.
Naive but not insensible, Rhiannon asked Finnegan curiously on their way to the hotel where their parents were staying, âFinn, why do I feel that Old Mr. Haimowitz is very courteous toward you?â
He knew she mustâve figured something out, so he didnât plan on keeping her entirely in the dark. âOld Mr. Haimowitz was ill, and I treated him previously.â
Rhiannon pouted after hearing that. âDoes that mean I was able to be converted into a full- time employee and become Ms. Haimowitzâs secretary partly because of you?â
Perceiving her disappointment, Finnegan asked with a smile. âIsnât it a good thing to get to rely on your elder brother?â
âBut I canât depend on you for the rest of my life, right?â
âIf thatâs your wish, I donât mind caring for you for the rest of your life.â
âI donât want that. Ms. Zimmerman and Ms. Lindsey always told me women are the most charming when independent. Therefore, I aspire to be like them. I want to grow up to be a self-sufficient woman who doesnât need to rely on anyone else!â
Taking in her serious demeanor, Finnegan was glad he didnât stop her earlier.
Otherwise, Rhiannon would certainly feel upset even though she refrained from expressing her feelings.
After a brief ponderation, he asked, âRhia, if I tell you I can afford to take care of you for the rest of your life and let you indulge in all the luxuries you want even if you donât work, will you still want to pursue a career?â
She answered without any hesitation, âWhatâs the point of living, then? However, if thatâs really the case, you can provide me with capital. Iâll start a business to help you earn money.â
âHahaha!â Finnegan burst out laughing after hearing her words. He wouldâve smacked her head if she werenât driving. âNo problem. Iâll provide you with capital to establish a new company and let you become the chairwoman after you acquire the knowledge and skills essential to managing a business.â
âI shall look forward to that. However, I donât want to be the chairwoman. Instead, Iâll work for you.â

The siblings chatted happily. Unknowingly, they had arrived at the hotel Desmond and Quiana stayed in.
Rhiannon strode inward while holding Finneganâs hand, but she seemed a little agitated. âFinn, have you come up with an explanation for this car?â
A vehicle worth around two million would undoubtedly come as a great shock to Desmond and Quiana.
âThis car is nothing compared to the other more astonishing news Iâll tell you all today.â
Finnegan planned to move his family to No. 1 Villa at Dragon Bay that day since Rhiannon was also free.
Rhiannon blinked and asked, âFinn, what amazing news is that? Are you in a relationship with a woman? Let me tell you now. Ms. Lindsey is the only sister-in-law I approve of for now. If I am dissatisfied with your other partners, Iâll interfere in your relationships.â
Finnegan smacked her head lightly. âWhatâs so shocking about me finding a girlfriend?â
Rhiannon chuckled. âTo our family, thatâs a matter of utmost importance now.â
He chirped, âFine. Iâll bring a girlfriend home to surprise all of you someday.
The two arrived outside Desmond and Quianaâs room on the second floor amidst their conversation.
Rhiannonâs expression abruptly changed. âMom, whatâs wrong?â
