A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana) Novel
Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Growing Unease

"Get lost!"

In the mansion where Liam kept Hailey, his lover, he pushed her away from him, somewhat irritated. "You can't even pique my interest," he said.

For some reason, he spent a long time with Hailey that night, but he just couldn't muster any feelings.

This made his already irritable mood even more frustrated.

Hailey covered her face, marked deeply by a handprint.

Biting back her grievances, she said, "Mr. Sable, perhaps you've been too tired these past few days. Why don't you take a rest first?"

After being locked up for fifteen days, Liam took his anger on her at least thrice daily.

Those past couple of days, he had been outmaneuvered by Finnegan and hadn't had a good rest.

Hene Hailey found it hard to believe that he had energy.

In response, Liam slapped her without hesitation. "D*mn it! Are you implying that I'm not a man? Are you

suggesting that I'm useless?"

"Mr. Sable, that's not what I meant. What I'm trying to say is-"

"Get lost!"

Before Hailey could finish her sentence, Liam kicked her off the bed. "It's because you lack charm. If it were Bernice, I wouldn't be like this!" Hailey clutched her stomach, daring not to say more. With tears in her eyes, she rose to her feet and walked into the bathroom, phone in hand. She was about to send a message to Finnegan, asking when he would finally take action against Liam, and when her nightmare would finally end. "Why do I feel particularly annoyed tonight? What on earth is going on?" Liam lit a cigarette.

After taking a few puffs, he grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it around his waist. Then he dialed Axel's number and ordered, "Come to my room!" Soon, Axel arrived in the room. "Mr. Sable, what's wrong?"

Liam stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. "I don't know why, but I'm particularly irritated tonight. I'm irritated to the point of wanting to kill someone!"

Having grown up with Liam, Axel instantly understood his meaning. "Mr. Sable, are you planning to make a move on Finnegan ahead of time? But didn't you say we'd discuss this after the current matter is resolved?"

Liam narrowed his eyes, exuding a ruthless aura. "Of course, we should take our time with him. It would

be too easy to just kill him without any torment. I wanted to ask how those three tasks were coming along. When will Finnegan's family be sent to jail?"

Inside the bathroom, Hailey, who had just cleaned herself and wrapped a bath towel around her, was slightly trembling.

Her face was strikingly stern. Did Mr. Sable do something to Finnegan's parents and sister?

Subconsciously, Axel glanced around and whispered, "Mr. Sable, Finnegan, the Haimowitz family, the Miles family, and even the Langdon family are all on good terms with each other. It's better if you don't speak of this."

"Enough with the chatter. We're all friends here. Spit it out already!" At this moment, Liam was completely in a state of irritability and impatience.

With a sigh, Axel had no choice but to reply, "Finnegan's sister is currently detained at the police station, yet to be charged. They're probably waiting to see if the Haimowitz family refuses to compensate and if Finnegan cannot pay before they make a decision. As for Finnegan's parents, they are still in the hospital. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until they recover before we see any results. But I've already instructed those two families to keep a close eye on the police department every day for results. We'll definitely ensure that Finnegan's parents end up in jail!"

Liam's expression softened slightly when he heard that. "Is there any sign of the Haimowitz and Miles

families, along with the Langdon family, helping Finnegan?"

Axel replied, "Didn't Hailey mention this before? It seems like everyone is just watching. They didn't lend money to Finnegan to save his sister, and they even called back Shaun and others, which led to the closure' of Jerome Medical Clinic. There's no other unusual activity."

Hailey's expression tightened as she continued to compose a text message in the bathroom.

Indeed, she was the one who said those words.

But in reality, she had already discovered that the Haimowitz and Miles families, along with the Langdon family, were secretly planning something. It seemed to be targeted at Regi Group.

However, her loyalty had already shifted toward Finnegan. She would not reveal the truth to Liam in order to prevent Liam from going mad and getting rid of her first.

Liam furrowed his brows. "It seems that the relationship between the various families and Finnegan is indeed strained. As I expected, Jerome Medical Clinic has already closed down. Finnegan's family will soon be sent to prison. They'll get a taste of the nightmare I've been through. But why do I still feel somewhat uneasy?"

The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. Liam called out, "Hailey!"

"I'm here!"

After responding, Hailey sent the text message and then tried to make her expression look natural as she opened the door and stepped out.

Liam sternly asked, "Are you certain that nothing was overlooked in the investigation of Finnegan?"

Hailey feigned calm. "Yes!"

She paused before adding, "If ther were any oversights the investigation, wouldn't Finnegan ha borrowed eight hundred million or used his own eight hundred million to protect his sister? Why wou let the police department take his sister away?"

Liam squinted his eyes. "Did you hear everything just now?"

"Rest assured, Mr. Sable, I'm on your side. I won't go around spreading words."

After giving Hailey a deep look, Liam asked, "I've been treating you poorly these past few days, even going as far as hitting you. Don't you resent me?"

he

"I do!" Hailey bit her red lips, her face unchanging. "But I also know that no matter how much I hate you, I can't leave you. Only you can give me glory and wealth. So, even if I hate you, I'll endure it and treat you the same!"

As Hailey spoke these words, her heart was filled with extreme tension.

She was somewhat worried that Liam might have noticed something.

Fortunately, Liam didn't persist. He withdrew his gaze and said, "At least you're honest, not hiding your resentment toward me. Otherwise, I would have to doubt whether your investigation into Finnegan is actually about me-"

"Who is it? Ah!"

Before the sentence could be finished, a stern rebuke accompanied by a scream suddenly echoed from within the courtyard.

Axel quickly walked to the window.

After a clear look, his complexion slightly changed. "Mr. Sable, we are under attack!"

Liam quickly moved to the window, just in time to witness a bodyguard from the Sable family being ruthlessly slain.

His heart gave a jolt as he exclaimed, "D*mn! Who's got such nerve? Let Daniel and his men kill the intruders, but I want two of them alive. I want to see who's got the nerves of steel!"

"Yes!"

As Axel went to make arrangements, Liam also quickly got dressed.

Turning around, he saw Hailey standing there, motionless. "Aren't you going to get dressed quickly? Or do you want to run out with your towel falling off for everyone to see?" "I'll get dressed right away."

"Hurry up!"

With a cold huff, Liam quickly left the room and descended the stairs. Axel had already sent Daniel and seven or eight bodyguards to defend.

Seeing Liam descending the stairs, Axel quickly pulled out a gun to protect him. "Mr. Sable, you can leave this to Daniel and his team. It's safer for you to stay in the room!"

The voice was cold, icy, and deadly.

"Liam, I've come to claim your head. Get ready!"

Finnegan? Upon hearing this sound, Liam was stunned for three seconds.

He then rushed out of the mansion with a ferocious expression.

There, he saw Finnegan leisurely strolling along with Alisha, with Doom Star and Duncan trailing behind them.

In an instant, the ferocious expression on Liam's face froze, and a chill ran through his heart. How did they end up together?

With a look of terror in his eyes, he stared at Finnegan and Alisha. "Finnegan? Ms. Wahlstrom?"
