Chapter 78 Vouch For Finnegan Seven or eight of the Sable familyâs bodyguards rushed toward Finnegan.
Clearly, Liam wasnât even willing to give him a chance to explain himself.
Bernice, who had been slapped across the cheek, yelled, âStop!â
She hadnât known Finnegan for very long, but she believed he would not molest Hailey.
As this was all part of Liamâs plan to ruin Finneganâs reputation and prevent him from dating Bernice, there was no way he would stop his men.
âIâd love to do as you say when it comes to everything else, Bernie, but he has hurt someone I know. I will never forgive him for this! Take him down!â
Alexander, the Trey siblings, and Felix, who was representing the Haimowitz family were going to stop them, but Finnegan had launched himself at the Sable familyâs bodyguards. before they could even say anything.
He grabbed two of the bodyguardsâ heads and slammed them against each other, knocking them both out at the same time.
His legs were moving so fast that they became a blur as he leaped high into the air and continued attacking the other bodyguards.
The six remaining bodyguards were all sent flying by a flurry of kicks. They crashed into members of the Zimmerman family as they landed.
In just a few seconds, two of the bodyguards had been knocked out, and the other six lay on the ground, screaming in pain.
Everyone fell silent after witnessing Finnegan in action.
Whoa⦠This guy is ridiculously strong!
Liamâs eyes went wide with shock and disbelief. He did not expect Finnegan to be this skilled in combat.
The silence was broken when Millicent pointed at Finnegan and shouted furiously, âYou insolent b*stard! Not only did you sexually harass someone at our banquet, but you even beat these guys up!
Do you even have any respect for our family at all?â
Bernice quickly tried to explain, âGrandma, Finnegan-
Smack!
try has cinbarrassed us far too much today! I now order you to break Millicent had slapped Bernice twice that day.
y this bastardâs actions! He up with him!â
âDonât you dare slap Bernie again, you old hag!â Finnegan shouted with an icy-cold look in his eyes.
âI can slap my granddaughter as much as I like! Youâre in no position to do anything about it!â Millicent retorted and raised her hand once again.
She was about to bring her hand down upon Berniceâs cheek when she felt a chill down her spine, all of her hair standing on end. Millicentâs face went pale all of a sudden, and she felt as though she would actually die if she dared slap Bernice again.
Bernice quickly ran up to Finnegan and asked, âWhatâs going on here?â
Finnegan retracted his icy-cold gaze and glared at Liam and Hailey. âI believe some people here have the answer to your question.â
Liamâs veins were bulging underneath the skin of his forehead as he yelled angrily, âWhat are you talking about? Are you saying that I had Hailey set you up?â
âDid I say anything about you having Hailey set me up? Why are you so worked up. Mr. Sable? Did I hit the nail on the head or something?â Finnegan asked with a sneer.
Bruce, who was furious that the banquet had been ruined, shouted, âThatâs enough! Hailey has already identified you as a molester, so why even bother making up excuses for your crime? Get over here, Bernie! This scâmbag doesnât deserve you at all!â
Bernice, however, was determined to defend Finnegan. âI have faith in Finnegan, Grandpa.â
Bruce got even angrier when he heard that. âAre you going to disobey me too?â
âOld Mr. Zimmerman, just because Hailey accused me of being a molester doesnât automatically make me guilty. Have you never heard about cases where people frame others. with their one-sided stories?
Or are you taking her side simply because you object to our relationship?â
Bruceâs expression changed instantly.
He did indeed agree with Haileyâs accusation because he didnât like Finnegan.
Millicent, who had recovered from her stunned state, retorted disdainfully, âYou have a pathetic background, so youâre definitely guilty! Why would a girl like Hailey put her reputation at risk by framing you?â
Grandma is right! People with lowly backgrounds like yours are capable of doing just about anything!â
Iâve never heard of a girl who would falsely accuse someone of molesting them! Stop trying to act all innocent, Finnegan!â
âA man like him isnât worthy of dating you, Bernie. You should just break up with him!â
Queenie and the others all spoke up to support Millicentâs statement. They were clearly determined to pin the blame on Finnegan even if he didnât do it.
Hailey, upon receiving a signal from Liam, sobbed as she ran toward a wall. âI canât believe heâd accuse me of framing him after molesting me! I canât stand this humiliation any further!â
Liam went along with her act and hugged her tightly as he said anxiously, âWe believe you, Hailey! Just calm down!â He then turned to Bruce. âThis happened at your banquet, so you are obligated to take responsibility for this, Old Mr. Zimmerman!â
Bruceâs face grew increasingly gloomy as he knew he couldnât possibly ignore the situation any further.
âHow will you prove that you are as innocent as you claim to be, Finnegan? Is there anyone who can vouch for you?â
Finnegan was about to say something when Alexander stepped forward and said, âI can vouch for Mr.
Larkin. There is no way he would ever do such a thing.â
Bruce felt upset when he recalled how Alexander had consumed the Long Life Pill that was supposed to be his. âFinnegan is indebted to you, so you cannot vouch for him.â
Trey and Sasha stepped forward and said in unison, âWe can vouch for Mr. Larkin too! He would never do something like that!â
Felix, too, stepped forward and declared, âI can vouch for Mr. Larkin as well. In fact, I will stake my familyâs reputation on his innocence! No one can confirm if Mr. Larkin has indeed molested anyone without solid evidence!â
What is going on here? Why would the Miles family and the Haimowitz family vouch for Finnegan? Isnât he just an ordinary guy who happened to save Bernice?
Liam, the members of the Zimmerman family, and all the guests present at the banquet were shocked by what they had just witnessed.
Bruceâs expression slid into a frown as he felt there was something he did not know about.
Having snapped out of his stunned state, Liam asked them angrily, âWhy would you guys vouch for Finnegan?â
It is a good thing to yearn for justice, but Finnegan was caught in the act, so there is no need. for you three to vouch for him,â Reginald said.
He had assumed that Trey and the others would back off after he spoke up, but that was clearly not the case here.
âBut this could also be Haileyâs doing. Why should Mr. Larkin be labeled as guilty simply because she accused him of molesting her? We donât have any solid evidence to prove her claims either!â Trey retorted.
âI agree. Mr. Sable, Old Mr. Sable, I hope you two wonât falsely accuse a good man like this,â Felix added.
With all those people defending Finnegan, some of the guests were starting to wonder if there was actually more to Finnegan than meets the eye.
Reginaldâs expression turned gloomy when he heard that. âWell said, but I have determined that Finnegan is guilty of violating an employee working for my family, so he will have to the price no matter what! No amount of vouching will change anything!â
pay Finnegan had screwed up his marriage arrangement plans for Liam and humiliated him and Liam by calling them out on the Long Life Pill. Reginald was determined to destroy Finneganâs life.
Suddenly, someone from behind the crowd asked with a chuckle, âWhat if I vouch for him, then?â
