Chapter 113 This Is Miss Miles
Sasha shot Casper an anxious look, hoping that it wasn’t the mall’s fault.
Meanwhile, Lindsey, upon realizing what was going on, glanced at the mall’s signboard that had the words “Kathleen Mall” emblazoned across it before shifting her gaze to Sasha and the fearful security guards.
Even if she were a fool, she would still be able to guess that Sasha was the daughter of Gilbert Miles, the richest man in Jadeborough, just from the behavior of the guards.
Why does Finnegan know someone like her? Could Rhia be telling the truth when she said that her family is living at No. 1 Villa in Dragon Bay?
Having thought the matter was nothing but a joke, Lindsey suddenly felt the urge to confirm it with Rhiannon.
Nevertheless, Casper felt nervous still. “Finnegan, why don’t we just forget it?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got your back no matter what. Whoever dares to bully you will be taught a bitter lesson!”
The serious look on Finnegan’s face caused Casper’s eyes to redden. “Michelle cheated on me.”
Michelle?
Upon hearing the name, the image of a b*tchy and sl*tty girl emerged in Finnegan’s mind.
His brows wrinkled as he asked, “Since when were you dating her? Why did you fall for her in ‘ the first place?”
Michelle was his and Casper’s cla*smate in high school.
Back then, she wrote over a hundred love letters to Finnegan, a fact that Casper was well aware of.
Casper wiped his tears away as he elaborated, “I ran into her by accident half a year ago, after which she took the initiative to pursue me. She didn’t mind that I didn’t have a regular job nor the fact that I made less money than her. On top of that, she became a teacher at our school, Jadeborough High School, after she graduated from university. Thinking that she had changed, I decided to be with her. However, I realized two days ago that she was just as sl*tty as before. She didn’t land the job at Jadeborough High School on her own merit. Instead, she slept with Derrick to get it. That was the reason why I secretly followed her here to the mall today–to catch her in the act of cheating on me. That aside, I met this salesperson who is just as wicked. She accused me of offending her client and got the security guards to beat me

up before kicking me out!”
Finnegan’s frown deepened. “Derrick Weller?”
Casper confirmed, “That’s right.”.
Cognizant that Casper would never lie to him, Finnegan tightened his fists. “What a coincidence!”
Derrick was not only their cla*smate in Jadeborough High School but also the son of the school’s previous principal, Robert Weller.
Back then, the Chomsky family had bribed Robert to expel Finnegan and fire Desmond from school. As for Quiana, she was also sacked from the cafeteria.
Casper added, “By the way, the salesperson looks a little like your cousin, Helen. It’s been years since I saw her, so I’m not really sure.”
“Helen?”
Finnegan recalled the day Adrian came to borrow money from them. The attitude Helen showed then was just as snarky as her mother’s.
On top of that, the fact that he was slapped by Desmond on Adrian and Raymond’s account infuriated Finnegan further. “Let’s go. Whoever dares to lay a finger on my brother will definitely pay a heavy price!”
Casper’s expression drastically changed. “Finnegan, why don’t we just let it slide? The Miles family owns this mall, after all.”
“Just come with me!”
There was no way the already angered Finnegan could forget the matter just like that.
As Finnegan walked into the mall with Casper, Lindsey hesitated before following them from behind.
With her face deathly pale, the infuriated Sasha slapped the kneeling and begging Brandon again. “If Mr. Larkin detests the Miles family because of this, I’ll make sure you’ll never be able to show your face in Jadeborough ever again!”
Guided by Casper, Finnegan and the former arrived in the luxury goods section, stopping outside a store selling branded bags.
“Hey, why did you come back? Did you not get a bad enough beating just now?”
“Your girl didn’t mind that you’re broke, but you resented her for cheating on you? How

ungrateful can you be?”
“If you’re not successful, you would be better off pretending to be a fool who’s oblivious to what’s going on!”
At the sight of Casper, the salespersons who were lounging around began mocking him.
Meanwhile, Finnegan glowered as he swept his piercing gaze around the store but couldn’t spot Derrick or Michelle anywhere.
Feeling embarra*sed, Casper suggested, “Finnegan, they might have left. Let’s go too.”
“You broke b*stard, why did you come back? You-Finnegan!”
At that moment, another salesperson returned, having just emerged from the bathroom. It was none other than Helen.
When Finnegan shifted his cold gaze toward her, his eyes were filled with resentment: “Helen, you always look down upon others. This is something you and your mom never fail to do!”
“What gives you the right to lecture me?” Helen lashed out, “You’re the one who’s heartless for refusing to treat your own cousin! If you know what’s good for you, you had better cure my brother. Only then would I consider acknowledging you as my relative. Otherwise, you and your friend should just get lost! Besides, someone broke like him should know better than to go out with a girl who’s out of his league. I don’t even know what he was think-”
Slap!
In the midst of Helen’s outburst, Sasha, who had followed the group, came forward to slap Helen.
Having grown up pampered, Helen naturally couldn’t tolerate such humiliation.
Upon regaining her senses, she reached out to grab Sasha with both her hands. “How dare you hit me? I’m going to kill you!”
Shocked by Helen’s reaction, the security guards lunged forward to stop her.
She instantly protested, “What are you doing? That woman just hit me. You should be restraining her so that I can slap her back!”
“Shut up! That woman is Ms. Miles!”
Oblivious to what was going on still, Helen snarled, “What’s the big deal about Ms. Miles? I don’t care who she is. I’m going to whoop her a*s if that’s the last thing I do!”

At the moment, the mall’s general manager rushed over upon hearing the news.
With a scowl on his face, he ran as fast as a sprinter despite his plump figure.
He swiftly marked his arrival with a hard slap on Helen’s face. “You had better shut up! You’re talking to Ms. Miles, daughter of Mr. Gilbert Miles!”
The impact of the slap was so powerful that it jolted Helen back to her senses on top of causing her face to swell badly.
Staring at the glowering Sasha, she clarified, “Ms. Sasha Miles?”
In the next second, she hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, Ms. Miles. I didn’t know it was you. didn’t mean what I said.”

When Sasha turned around to look at Finnegan, his emotionless expression told her what needed to be done.
“You’re fired. On top of that, the mall’s legal department will be suing you for a*saulting someone without reason!”
Helen’s face turned pale in an instant. “Please don’t, Ms. Miles!”
As Kathleen Mall treated their employees well, Helen made more than ten thousand a month, a hefty sum.
If she were to lose this job, it would be impossible for her to find something similar with only a high school diploma.
Nevertheless, Sasha walked up to Finnegan, ignoring Helen’s pleas. “Mr. Larkin, please let me know if there’s anything else you need.”
What’s going on? Why is Ms. Miles being so respectful to Finnegan?
