Chapter 249 Proceed With Caution
Just after eight o’clock, the Jadeborough morning news interrupted its regular programming with a
breaking news story, causing a stir throughout the entire city of Jadeborough.
Liam, the CEO of Regi Group, was infuriated by his unsuccessful courtship. As a result, he resorted to
hiring thugs to sabotage his love rival’s parents and sister.
With this news and two corroborating videos all around Jadeborough, there was nothing but scorn for
Liam.
“A few days ago, I was complaining about why there were no results yet. I wondered if the person who
hit the old lady had some powerful connections. I never expected the truth to be like this.”
“These rich folks are truly disgusting, throwing money at anything they desire. And if money can’t buy it,
they resort to despicable tactics. How infuriating!”
“Resolutely resist Regi Group and demand severe punishment for the uncharitable rich likę Liam!”
At a time when public outrage was at its peak, the news of Liam’s escape due to fear of punishment
was released, putting tremendous pressure on both Regi Group and the Sable family.
That also alarmed Reginald and his son, who were far away in Durbaine, just about to seek out Darius
again.
Reginald, who was over seventy years old, was so angry that he almost coughed up blood.
With a swift slap, he struck Mike across the face. “You fool! Why didn’t you stop him? Don’t you know
that the first issue Regi Group needs to address is providing free medical care?”
Mike wore a face of frustration, retorting, “Dad, I had no idea Liam was involved in all these things!
Besides, blaming him now is pointless. We need to figure out how to suppress this matter. Otherwise,
the pressure on Regi Group will double.”

Reginald roared, “What are you waiting for? Call that bistard right now and find out where he’s hiding!
Tell him to come out and apologize immediately. There’s still a chance to salvage some of our
company’s reputation. Otherwise, the combination of free medical care and this issue will directly crush
Regi Group!”
Mike quickly nodded. “Yes! I’ll call him right now.”
Before he could find Liam’s number, a call came in first.
It was a call from Hailey.
Mike thought Liam was too afraid to contact him, so he had Hailey make the call.
Mike Answered the call immediately. “Hello? Let that rebellious child speak to me. He… What?”
In an instant, Mike’s eyes widened twice their size.
His body also began to tremble.
His entire face contorted with rage, and he cursed, “F*ck Finnegan!”

The phone was slammed onto the ground, startling Reginald. “What’s wrong?” Reginald asked.
“Dad, Liam is dead!” Mike roared in anger. “Hailey said that Finnegan somehow found out the truth
about how his parents and sister were framed. He stormed into Liam’s mansion in a rage, killing all the
bodyguards, including Axel and Daniel. In the end, he chopped off Liam’s head and even took his body
away!”
Upon hearing that, Reginald staggered backward, bumping into the couch and plopping down onto it.
His face was pale with age, filled with sorrow and anger. “Liam!”
He was exasperated because Liam had caused so much trouble, leaving him at his wits’ end.
After all, Liam was his only grandson, the sole male heir of the third generation of the Sable family!
Mike said angrily, “Dad, I’m going back to Jadeborough. I’m going to kill Finnegan to avenge Liam!”
“No!” Reginald forced himself to calm down. “Liam is already dead. Even if we avenge him, it won’t
solve the current problems facing the Sable family. So, let’s stay steady, visit Mr. Hicks as planned, and
if that doesn’t work, we’ll return to Jadeborough! The entire Finnegan family is in Jadeborough, so
there’s no need to worry about him running away. There’s no rush to go back right now.”
“Then I’ll have my assistant book the afternoon flight!”
At this moment, Finnegan seemed like an outsider, allowing Alisha to drop him off at the entrance of
the police station.
He waited for a while, and Rhiannon walked out, accompanied by Romona.
With Romona’s special care, Rhiannon’s complexion and spirit were quite good. Upon seeing
Finnegan, she immediately bounced over to him and said, “Finn, I heard from Captain Quickwood that
it’s all clear now. It was Liam who was angry at you for taking Bernice away from him, so he
deliberately framed me to get at you, right?”
With a gentle look in his eyes, Finnegan caressed Rhiannon’s head. “Everything has been investigated.
Liam has also fled out of fear of punishment.”
“By the way, Captain Quickwood told me Mom and Dad were framed and had to be hospitalized. What
happened?”
Upon hearing this, Finnegan gave Romona a helpless look. He had originally planned to tell Rhiannon
slowly.
Yet, Rhiannon already knew, so Finnegan no longer concealed anything and chose to tell Rhiannon
the
truth.
In the end, he reminded her, “So when you go to the hospital to see Mom and Dad, try to comfort them
as much as possible. Let them not bear any psychological burden. All of this was a plot by Liam, and
it’s already in the past!”
Rhiannon nodded. “I will. But this Liam is really despicable, resorting to such lowly schemes when he
can’t outdo you. Captain Quickwood, you must bring him to justice!”
Romona’s red lips moved slightly. She cast a speechless glance at Finnegan. Lwouldn’t mind giving
Liam a
III
good lesson by catching him. However, Liam has already been killed by your brother. Am I supposed to
go to the netherworld to catch him?
Of course, Romona didn’t say those words out loud. “We will, but the Sable family is wealthy. Liam
might have already fled abroad.”
Rhiannon frowned. “He got away just like that. He really got off easy.”
To prevent Rhiannon from continuing to probe, Finnegan cleared his throat and said, “Rhia, you go to
the hospital to see Mom and Dad first. Captain Quickwood and I will handle the issue of Mom and
Dad’s case withdrawal.”
Rhiannon didn’t have any doubts and nodded. “All right. You go ahead with your work.”
Watching Rhiannon hail a cab and leave, Finnegan finally shifted his gaze, rubbing his temples. “Thank
you.”
If it weren’t for Romona’s cooperation, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly, let alone pushing Regi
Group and the Sable family into the eye of the storm.
Besides, his family would also worry about him.
Romona snorted. “You can actually say thank you. That’s rare. But what’s your plan now? Reginald and
his son won’t let you off easily.”
Apart from Liam’s death, the free medical consultations, solely promoted by Finnegan, and the current
scandal significantly increased the pressure on Regi Group.
Both Reginald and Mike would wish they could skin Finnegan alive.
Finnegan sneered, “I’m actually hoping they come to seek revenge. It would give me a chance to
eradicate the source of trouble!”
“Finnegan!” Sensing Finnegan’s murderous intent, Romona said seriously, “My grandpa knows that you
must be thinking of eradicating the source of the trouble. So he asked me to tell you that the Sable
family can fall, but Regi Group must not! That’s because it holds significant sway in Jadeborough and
Nuthana. Its influence is extensive. It’s different from the Chomsky family’s Tristan Group. Even if it
falls, it won’t matter.”
Finnegan frowned. “The Sable family can fall, but Regi Group can’t? How is that supposed to work?”
With a shrug, Romona turned to leave. “That’s your business. I’m just passing on my grandpa’s
message. You can wipe out the entire Sable family if you want as long as Regi Group remains
standing!”
Finnegan pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a slight headache. “Doesn’t this mean that Reginald
and Mile can kill me, but I can’t kill them until I can ensure that their deaths won’t affect Regi Group?” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Narrowing his eyes, Finnegan certainly didn’t want to feel so stifled. But is there any way to wipe out
the Sable family without causing trouble for Regi Group?
Looking up at the sky, Finnegan still couldn’t come up with a solution that would satisfy all parties.
Deciding to let go of his worries, he said, “Forget it. I’ll just head to Jerome Medical Clinic for a stroll
and prepare for tomorrow’s opening!”

Regardless, he wouldn’t just sit around waiting for death, nor would he leave any potential risks for
himself. The Sable family must fall!
