Chapter 150 It Really Is Finnegan
The van that abducted Josephine drove straight into the Golden Wheel car care center and came to a halt.
A group of elegantly dressed young men and women emerged. They were none other than Vilmar and his
group.
Their bodyguards and several dozen thugs were also in tow.
Among them was Todd, who had been invited by Matthias. He stood by Vilmar’s side, seemingly attempting to curry favor and gain his approval.
After all, the Royle family’s assets amounted to hundreds of billions, a close second to the influential Langdon family in Nuthana.
“Why did you bring a woman over?” Vilmar and the rest were stunned to see Josephine being dragged out of the vehicle and thrown to the ground.
They had specifically instructed Todd’s men to capture Finnegan.
Todd, who had hoped to capitalize on this opportunity to establish a closer relationship with Vilmar, promptly asked his subordinates, “I thought Mr. Vilmar wanted you to catch a guy?” noveldrama
“Mr. Mackle, there’s no other viable option!” his subordinate hurriedly explained. “It’s a bustling urban area, swarming with people and patrolling officers. Trying to apprehend that lad discreetly is impossible. Our only recourse was to kidnap this girl. She’s with that lad. We also left our address to lure him over.”
The tension on Todd’s face eased when he heard that. “Considering the current unrest in Jadeborough, the council has taken stricter control over city affairs. You’ve certainly taken that into account.”
Vilmar and the others, too, responded with a grin.
Josephine asked nervously, “Who are you people? Why have you captured me?”
Seeing the woman tremble in fear, Matthias sized her up and said, “D*mn, why am I suddenly a little jealous of that guy?”
His male companions nodded in agreement.
They were also a bit envious and jealous of Finnegan.
Not only did he have Bernice, one of the renowned Four Beauties of Jadeborough, as his girlfriend, but he had also shared intimate moments with Mandy and was now connected with a capable and elegant beauty like Josephine.
Josephine’s nervousness and fear escalated as the lecherous gazes focused on her.
Vilmar patted Matthias’ shoulder, a sly grin forming on his lips. “Once we take care of that guy, she’ll be yours. How does that sound?”
You’re absolutely right, Mr. Vilmar. What right does that guy have to have such a beauty like her?” Matthias burst into hearty laughter. “Beauties of this caliber should accompany individuals like us.”
Vilmar chuckled and said, “We should thank your cousin.”
Todd humbly replied, “Mr. Vilmar, your generosity is overwhelming. I merely dispatched a few of my.
men to handle the situation, nothing more.” After a short pause, he asked, “But Mr. Vilmar, why don’t you confront that guy directly to teach him a lesson?”
Besides Vilmar, who came from the esteemed Royle family, even Ariendel and Matthias held significant positions of influence.
The assets of their respective families were easily valued at several billion, if not more.
Ariendel huffed, “Taking action against him is like squashing an ant. But that guy does hold some real talent. He’s not only associated with the Haimowitz and Miles families in Jadeborough but also linked to the Langdon family, the most affluent family in Nuthana. That’s why we need your involvement instead of handling him directly. If the Langdon, Haimowitz, and Miles families decide to investigate, we can support your actions as defending Matthias, whom he humiliated.”
Matthias nodded. “So we have no choice but to trouble you, Todd.”
However, Todd’s face stiffened when he heard what they said. The image of a particular person flickered in his mind. Associated with the Langdon, Haimowitz, and Miles families? Why does that person sound like Finnegan Larkin?
Todd recalled that Tyrone had warned him not to provoke Finnegan if their paths ever crossed.
Todd could not help but ask in a sheepish voice, “What is that guy’s name?”
When he received Matthias’ call during the day, he did not ask who he was supposed to deal with. He simply agreed, wanting to seize the opportunity to please Vilmar.
