The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 108

“Are you really planning on standing Tyrone up, Finnegan?”

At Dragon Bay at a little over one o'clock in the morning, Alisha wore a puzzled expression on her beautiful face as she stared at Finnegan, who had her drive him home.

He asked me to set things up with Tyrone, yet he's not planning to go to the man's place anymore now.

Finnegan, who had been texting Bernice throughout the drive, raised his head. Upon seeing that he had arrived home, he unfastened his seatbelt. “It suddenly occurred to me after some thought that he's seemingly unworthy of having supper with me. Just call it off.”

Then, he swung open the car door and alighted from the vehicle.

Alisha's ruby-red lips twitched. “Are you serious? Do you know who he is?”

Narrowing his eyes, Finnegan countered, “Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to joke around?”

Words eluded Alisha.

A wry smile of exasperation curved her lips. She could tell the man was not joking and seriously wanted to stand Tyrone up.

Since she was not capable of changing his mind, she could only relent. “Okay, then. I'll explain things to him later. Also, now that the Chomsky family has been dealt with, are you still standing by your decision back then?”

Naturally, she was referring to the fact that he wanted her to go back to Bellridge.

Unexpectedly, Finnegan did not answer that but asked, “What are the Sable family's capabilities in Jadeborough like?”

The sudden change of subject left Alisha struggling to keep up with him. Still, she was able to reply promptly, saying, “They're almost ten times stronger than the Chomsky family. However, you're friends with the Wright family, so it'll do the Sables no good even if they were comparable to the Langdon family.”

The Wright family was so powerful in Jadeborough that it could rule supreme over the entire city.

Even if the ten prominent families in Jadeborough were to join forces, all it would take to topple them was a single word from the Wright family, much less the Sable family alone.

Subsequently, Finnegan started walking toward Dragon Bay's No. 1 Villa.

“If one relies on others in everything, it'll only make oneself incapable of resolving problems. Go home and rest. Also, keep an eye on the Sable family, especially that devious fellow, Liam. I hope you don't disappoint me again this time.”

Indeed, he initially wanted to have Alisha return after dealing with the Chomsky family. Nonetheless, he knew the blame was not on her entirely, and it would be unfair for him to make her take full responsibility.

On top of that, Tyrone most likely had a hand in the incident that night. Additionally, there was Liam, who liked to resort to underhanded tactics.

If he were to give her the boot for real, there was no one he could use for the time being.

The instant Alisha grasped his meaning, a smile bloomed on her face. “Does this mean you're rather reluctant to have me leave?”

Regretfully, Finnegan seemingly did not hear her and jumped into the garden with a single leap.

She snorted softly. “This is all on Tristan! Now, I've got to start seducing him all over again.”

A brief pause ensued, and a solemn gleam glinted in her eyes. “But what is he planning to do next? Don't tell me he wants to make a move against Tyrone and Liam?”

Despite racking her brain, she could not figure the man out. Hence, she decided to put that out of her mind.

She first gave Tyrone a call and informed him that Finnegan was not going to his place anymore.

When Tyrone was notified about that, he was at Tyrone Mansion, which he had spent more than a billion to build.

Surprisingly, he was not the least bit angry. Even his tone remained unchanged. “In that case, you should rest earlier too, Ms. Wahlstrom. We'll meet next time.”

After ending the phone call, he waved a hand with his face devoid of expression. “Tell the kitchen not to prepare food anymore.”

“Why does it feel like Finnegan stood you up on purpose, Mr. Calandrino?” Leonardo queried.

Taking the two steel balls the girl beside him handed him, Tyrone rotated them slowly. “He's warning me, reminding me that he knows all too well what I've done.”

At that, Leonardo's expression changed slightly. “How could he possibly know?”

That night back at Ark, Tyrone had already wanted Finnegan dead. Consequently, he gave Rocky fifty million and hinted at him to use the money to kill Finnegan.

Other than that, he had never told anyone about his intention to eliminate Finnegan.
