Chapter 157 Because Of You All
Vilmar and Matthias were fatally shot.
Despite the late hour, the news quickly spread among all parties involved.
Alisha, who had just settled down to sleep, received a chilling phone call. “What has Finnegan done?”
Initially, Finnegan claimed he wouldn’t hold a grudge against a dying man.
However, he later asked Alisha to keep an eye on Vilmar and his group and report the results in the
morning.
Therefore, Alisha could never believe that this matter had nothing to do with Finnegan, even if it meant
her demise.
What on earth did you do?
No longer feeling sleepy, she immediately made a call. “Keep a close watch on the matter and conduct
a thorough investigation!”
In Bellridge, the Royle, Black, and Green families also received a call from the Jadeborough Police
Department and rushed over during the night.
Simultaneously, they used their connections to pressure the Jadeborough Police Department into
conducting a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
Tyrone, who always paid close attention to anything involving Finnegan, was awakened by Leonardo,
who informed him of what had transpired.
The
Upon hearing this, Tyrone furrowed his brow. “So, Vilmar and Matthias forced themselves on Ariendel
and even attacked the police officers present, only to meet their demise?”
Leonardo nodded. “Dozens of people witnessed it at the scene. But I have a feeling this is connected to
Finnegan. He seems to possess such capabilities.”
Anyone who dared to oppose Finnegan, such as Python and Killian, experienced strange and
inexplicable
events.
Tyrone narrowed his eyes and said, “The matter is undoubtedly linked to Finnegan, but how he
accomplished it is not important. What matters is… I must start taking him more seriously.”
“You need to take him more seriously? Why?”
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Tyrone’s eyes as he walked over to the window.
Gazing at the artificial pond in the distance, he said, “He possesses such abilities and has a good
relationship with the Wahlstrom family. How can I not take him seriously?”
Leonardo asked, “What are your instructions, Mr. Calandrino?”
Tyrone turned around and said, “First, let’s determine whether the Wright family’s involvement tonight
was a coincidence or because of Finnegan. Instruct the Mackle family to temporarily set aside their
<
resentment over Todd’s severed hand and refrain from taking any retaliatory actions against Finnegan.
As for the rest, let’s observe how events unfold. We’ll wait until a victor emerges in the battle between
the Wahlstrom family and the Zymons family!”
Leonardo responded, “Understood!”
Tyrone glanced back out the window. “I have been planning for so many years; I cannot allow Finnegan
to become an unpredictable factor.”
The sky was beginning to brighten.
After a busy night, Romona, dressed casually, arrived at the Wright residence. She followed Stephen to
Nathan’s courtyard.
Nathan, who had just woken up, was having breakfast.
Upon seeing them, he greeted them with a warm smile. “What perfect timing! Come, sit down and join
me for breakfast.”
“Do I look like I’m in the mood?”
With a pout, Romona sat down, looking visibly annoyed.
Smiling, Nathan handed her a croissant. “Who has upset our Ms. Quickwood like this?”
“It’s all because of you!” Romona huffed. “I’m certain Finnegan was behind what happened last night,
but you told me not to focus on him. Plus, you won’t tell me what Finnegan truly is. How can I not be
angry?”
Nathan chuckled and asked, “How did Finnegan become someone you describe with ‘what’?
Furthermore, Finnegan didn’t even go to the hospital last night; how could he possibly be involved?”
Romona snorted again. “Still, I feel it has something to do with Finnegan.”
“Oh, you!”
With a sense of helplessness, Nathan gave a wry smile.
Stephen asked, “So, what is the final result of your investigation?”
Mentioning that made the displeasure on Romona’s face vanish. “According to the surveillance footage
and testimonies of witnesses, Vilmar and Matthias were clearly not in their right minds. Therefore, the
police department’s forensic team conducted an autopsy immediately after the Royle family arrived.
However, they found no issues, not even a trace of any unusual drug residues. After thoroughly
examining the ward, we found no drugs that could affect the human mind. It appears that Vilmar and
Matthias were simply audacious and perverted beyond measure. They dug their own graves!”
Stephen was somewhat puzzled. “I have met Vilmar before. He doesn’t seem like the type to do that.”
Nathan, however, remained expressionless. “Will the Royle family and the Green family accept this
explanation?”
“To avoid any scandals that could harm their companies, they have all agreed!” Romona replied. “But I
can tell they are only accepting it on the surface. It seems they are already reaching out to other
coroners.”
I
After a pause, she continued, “Furthermore, the Royle family has arranged for someone to investigate
last night’s incident, which means they are looking into Finnegan.”
Nathan asked, “What about the Black family?”
“The Black family had no objections to this outcome and are demanding an explanation from the Royle
and Green families.”
“Let’s put an end to it here.”
Huh?
Romona had been wondering if Nathan would summon Finnegan for questioning. Unexpectedly,
Nathan decided to conclude the matter then and there.
“Granddad, are you not going to have Finnegan come over for interrogation?”
However, Nathan did not answer Romona’s question.
Turning to Stephen, he asked, “Do any of the families of those with gastric bleeding have objections?”
Stephen replied, “Their children were the ones who initiated the wrongdoing, and they know you are
already investigating the matter, so they had no objections. Therefore, they have already brought their
children back to Bellridge!”
Nodding, Nathan chuckled. “Then let’s not concern ourselves with these trivial matters any longer.
From now on, let’s focus solely on the conflict between the Wahlstrom and Zymons families today. We
absolutely cannot allow them to disrupt the stability of Jadeborough!”
Romona felt somewhat annoyed, but she had no choice but to follow Stephen’s lead. “Understood!”
It was a little past nine in the morning.
Yawning, Finnegan emerged from his room.
Having spent a sleepless night, Alisha, who was on the verge of bursting into his room, quickly
approached. “How did Vilmar and Matthias die?”
“Are they dead?” Finnegan looked surprised. “What the heck, what’s going on?”
Alisha’s red l*ps moved silently.
In that moment, Finnegan’s innocent and bewildered expression left her somewhat stunned.
Could I have been mistaken?
But before such a thought could fully form in Alisha’s mind, she quickly dismissed it ‘Stop pretending I
know this definitely has something to do with you. How did you do it?”
“What does it have to do with me? Don’t you dare falsely accuse an innocent person!” Finnegan
protested loudly.
Alisha was exasperated. “You”

She held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, realizing that if Finnegan chose not to
speak, no amount of questioning would help. “What would you like for breakfast?”
Finnegan stretched lazily and said, “Forget about breakfast. I’ll just grab something on my way home.
Tell me what happened last night and everyone’s attitudes.”
Muttering under her breath, Alisha recounted everything to Finnegan.
Finnegan rubbed his nose and said, “Ariendel is still alive? I thought she would have been killed if she
didn’t cooperate.”
Alisha huffed. “I can only say that your plan still has some flaws since one person survived. But
Ariendel’s current state is no different from being dead. I heard she has become reclusive and can’t
even speak anymore.”
Yawning once again, Finnegan seemed to have missed the first half of what Alisha said.
“As long as no one bothers me anymore, she can do as she pleases.”
Turning around, he walked towards Doom Star’s room, ignoring Alisha’s resentful gaze. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Just as he was about to knock, Doom Star had already opened the door and stepped out.
Finnegan lowered his hand. “Are you leasing?”
