Chapter 288 When Things Go Awry
“Finnegan, what do you want to talk about?”
Upon reaching the backyard of the Zimmerman residence, Bishop began to speak, his tone slightly
aloof.
Even though he had to obey Milicent, it didn’t necessarily mean that he truly accepted Finnegan in his
heart.
It was just that Finnegan was now in a dominant position, so their family had no choice but to bow
down.
Finnegan broke into a slight smile. “Of course it’s about me going to beat you up!”
What?
Bishop’s face changed, wondering if he had heard wrong.
Before he could react, Finnegan flicked his fingers lightly, firing two silver needles into Bishop which
dissolved upon entering the latter’s body.
Finnegan subsequently stepped forward, landing a kick on Bishop’s enormous belly.
Amidst a muffled groan, Bishop’s eyes widened as his over eighty-five-kilogram body was sent flying
before crashing onto the ground. He rolled a distance across the grass before finally coming to a halt
against a tree.
The intense pain caused Bishop to open his mouth wide, only to realize that he couldn’t make a sound,
Suddenly, an overwhelming fear spread throughout his mind. noveldrama
What’s going on here? Why can’t I make any sound at all?
Before he could figure out the problem, Finnegan had already arrived in front of him.
He bent down, gripping Bishop’s throat and lifting him up. “Stop struggling. I’ve sealed your acupoints.
You won’t be able to make a sound until I release it.”
No sooner had Finnegan spoken than his left fist swung out and landed on Bishop’s stomach.
He then threw more punches, one after another, as if Bishop were a punching bag.
Bishop, who had been born with a silver spoon, had never been treated this way in his entire life.
The pain was so intense that his whole body was convulsing, yet not a single sound escaped his lips..
Finnegan had also controlled his strength well, only causing Bishop to experience excruciating pain,
but not enough to take the latter’s life nor leave any injuries.
Even when Bishop checked afterward, he couldn’t find the slightest trace of injury.
And so, the beating continued for several minutes. After Bishop had famted and woken up several
times. Finnegan finally stopped and tossed him onto the ground.
Bishop curled up, feeling as if all his internal organs had been smashed.
The
pain caused his body to be drenched by sweat.
Finnegan lifted his right leg and stepped on Bishop. “Do you feel as if you’re an innocent victim, not
knowing why I suddenly want to beat you up?
Bishop raised his head resentfully, glaring at Finnegan.
It seemed as he wanted to rip Finnegan to pieces.
Finnegan laughed nonchalantly. “The reason is simple. You conspired with Mike to use A Thousand
Dreams to harm Bernie, plunging her into a deep sleep and getting her to forget all familial affection.
Don’t even think about denying it. I wouldn’t have laid a finger on you unless I had concrete proof. Don’t
even think about running to your father and mother to tattle after this. If you do, I’ll hand over the
evidence of your collusion with Mike to the police department. I believe the police department has
received evidence of you framing Bernie. At the very least, you’re looking at a minimum sentence of
one year, right?”
Bishop was completely dumbfounded, to the point where he couldn’t even feel pain anymore:
Only confusion and fear resided in his heart.
How does this jerk know that I’m in cahoots with Mike?
At first, to avoid too many prying eyes and ears, the matter of his collusion with Mike was kept a secret
within the Zimmerman family. Apart from him and Millicent, he didn’t even tell Timothy and his sister.
Finnegan lifted him from the ground, brushing off the grass clippings from his body while warning. “So
you’d better watch your mouth, or you’ll end up in jail.”
After a pause, Finnegan’s tone suddenly turned cold. “And remember this lesson! If you dare to harm
Bernie in the future, she might let it slide due to familial affection, but I am a petty person, a person who
will surely retaliate for the slightest grievance!”
