The Mischievous Doctor (Finnegan and Nuthana) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292 I Am Well

After driving Sapphire away, Queenie turned on the shower in tears. She scrubbed her body

incessantly with a bath sponge, all the while cursing, “F*ck! Finnegan, you won’t meet a good end!”

She even took the toothbrush from the washbasin, squeezed a lot of toothpaste on it, and said, “I won’t

let you off, b*stard! You son of a b*tch!”

After washing for more than ten minutes, Queenie finally stopped.

Yet, the tears still wouldn’t stop. “Finnegan!”

Although she didn’t lose her body in the past half hour, it felt almost as if she had.

Often, she was compelled to do as she was told because of the recording in Finnegan’s possession.

That made her feel increasingly stifled, her delicate features contorting in frustration. “Just you wait! I’m

not someone to be tricked with!”

Suppressing the frustration and anger within, she left the bathroom, got dressed, and went to her

parents’

room.

Millicent and Timothy were both present.

Seeing her come in with swollen red eyes and a desolate expression, Millicent quickly asked,

“Queenie, what’s going on? Why did your mom say you’ve been crying and that you’re emotionally

distraught?”

Queenie wanted to cry.

But in the end, she held back, replying without any expression, “Finnegan has never believed that your

apologies were sincere from the start. He has been on guard ever since he arrived at the Zimmerman

residence. Even his drunkenness was feigned. The moment I entered the room, he stopped me.”

Millicent’s face slightly changed when she heard that. “Finnegan was pretending to be drunk, and he

knows everything?”

Sapphire then asked, “If Finnegan was just pretending, then why didn’t you come out for over half an

hour? Were you just sitting naked in the bathroom the whole time?”

Queenie’s heart broke when she heard that.

However, she was too ashamed to admit that Finnegan had his way with her. She said, “Finnegan

started recording on his phone before I entered the room. If it’s made public, Grandpa will definitely not

let us off the hook. So, I gave in and, as per his instructions, sat in the bathroom under cold water for

half an hour as a lesson.”

Under-normal circumstances, Millicent and others would certainly be able to tell that Queenie was not

telling the truth.

However, everyone’s attention was focused on the unsuccessful plan, so no one noticed that there was

something off about Queenie’s tone.

Timothy slammed his fist into the pillow. “D”mn it! Finnegan is so cunning. If I had known he was faking

it, I would have definitely given him a good beating when he left.” noveldrama

“All right. You wouldn’t stand a chance if it really came to a fight.” Bishop snorted. “Mom, what should

we do now? That guy has a recording. It would be disastrous if Dad heard it! Moreover, after tonight’s

incident, Finnegan will trust us even less. It will be even harder to plan something like this against him

next time.”

Millicent sighed lightly. “It’s not just more difficult. It’s completely impossible now.”

Upon hearing this, Bishop anxiously asked, “What should we do, then? Are we just going to watch as

Dad hands over the entire Zimmerman family and Firebird Group to Patrick?”

With a throbbing headache, Millicent couldn’t think of a better solution at the moment.

However, she still tried to comfort Bishop and his family as much as possible. “Don’t worry. Your father

probably wants to announce it on the company’s forty-eighth anniversary. We still have a chance before

that.”

With that, she added, “But keep your actions subtle, especially when it comes to dealing with Patrick’s

family. We don’t want to provoke Finnegan into releasing that recording. If he does, we’ll all be in

trouble. Think of another way to handle it, Queenie. If you can’t take down Finnegan, at least destroy

that recording. Otherwise, even if he just gives the recording to Bernice, I won’t be able to help you!”

Queenie absentmindedly nodded.

It seemed that Millicent didn’t notice her peculiarity. She turned to Sapphire and instructed, “Wait a bit

before you tell Bernice that Finnegan has left. But be careful not to arouse her suspicion. Just say that
