Chapter 122 You Are Really Despicable
I knew Cindy wasn’t going to give up that easily.
Finnegan suppressed his annoyance toward her and retorted, “How is Liam even worthy?”
“Mr. Sable has always been worthy.” Cindy lowered her head, her tone dripping with disdain. “In terms of family background, the Sable family happens to be one of the Jadeborough’s ten prominent families, with a net worth exceeding billions. As for your family, well, it’s just an ordinary one.”
She continued, “Education-wise, Mr. Sable graduated from Jadeborough University, a globally renowned institution, with a master’s degree. You didn’t even finish high school! In terms of relationship, Mr. Sable and Bernie are not only classmates but childhood sweethearts, with the Larkin and Sable families having known each other for years. You’re just someone repaying Bernie’s kindness!”
Cindy rattled off her points, each one elevating Liam and demeaning Finnegan.
Nevertheless, Finnegan wasn’t letting it get to him. “Is he genuinely in love with Bernie, though?”
“Are you even serious right now?”
A faint, mocking smirk tugged at the corner of Cindy’s l*ps.
Narrowing his eyes, Finnegan fell silent for a moment before speaking. “If I were to tell you that Firebird Group’s current situation was orchestrated in secret by Liam and the Sable family, all with the aim of taking over Firebird Group’s pharmaceutical business and expanding Regi Group’s market share, you probably wouldn’t believe it, would you?”
The mockery on Cindy’s face grew more pronounced. “Finnegan, you truly are a despicable person. Are you trying to sow discord between Bernie and Liam? Let me tell you, that won’t work! Their relationship is stronger than that! After all, everyone knows that the Sable family is willing to help the Zimmerman family as long as Bernie agrees to marry Mr. Sable.”
She added, “If the Sable family is willing to aid the Zimmerman family, how could they possibly be scheming against Firebird Group? Finnegan, you’re truly despicable!”
As Cindy spoke, she shook her head scornfully.
In her mind, Liam was a gallant and honorable prince who was incapable of such dark deeds.
Finnegan could see that Cindy had complete trust in Liam.
He shrugged nonchalantly. “I hope one day you won’t be disappointed in him.”
Cindy sneered, “Rest assured, not only will I not be disappointed in Mr. Sable, but I’ll also let him know just how despicable you are and make sure he finds a way to prevent you from deceiving Bernie!”
With those words, Cindy indeed sent a text message to Liam.
Finnegan observed her action but didn’t intervene. He merely stroked his chin.
“Aren’t you afraid of harming Liam?”
K
espicable
Liam would surely take action now that he knew Finnegan had found out the truth, but making a move would only spell trouble for Liam.
Mockingly, Cindy replied, “You’re just afraid that Mr. Sable will punish you once he knows you’ve falsely accused him, aren’t you?”
Finnegan’s l*ps twitched slightly.
He realized that Cindy was proving to be quite an asset to Liam. She was essentially pushing Liam toward his own demise.
In Cindy’s eyes, Finnegan had been rendered speechless after being exposed, and she couldn’t help but sneer derisively while continuing to message Liam.
“Everyone, the entire venue has been reserved, so please leave quickly! We will cover all your expenses.”
At that moment, more than a dozen men in black barged into the restaurant, loudly ordering the seated patrons to vacate.
The restaurant manager approached them. “I’m sorry, but reserving the whole place requires prior notice, and now-”
Smack!
Before he could finish, the leader of the group slapped him across the face. “Shut up! Just cooperate with us and clear out this place, or we’ll trash your restaurant!”
Faced with these imposing individuals, the restaurant’s patrons quickly got up and left in order to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
The restaurant manager could only apologize to them helplessly.
Finnegan glanced around, irritated by such arrogant behavior.
However, he was almost done eating anyway, so he stretched lazily and said, “Let’s go. Bernie will be back soon.”
Cindy picked up her bag, taunting, “If Mr. Sable were here today, we wouldn’t need to leave early.”
It was clear that Cindy was looking for every opportunity to undermine Finnegan.
However, he wasn’t bothered by it at all; there was no point in arguing with someone as stubborn as her.
“Those who haven’t left yet, make way for Mr. Zymons and his entourage!”
However, just as they were about to reach the exit, the leader of the group stopped them, along with some other remaining customers.
Finnegan casually stepped aside, while Cindy muttered under her breath, “What a useless man!”
A group of well-dressed men and women entered the restaurant, led by two young men.
Finnegan recognized one of them as Todd, who had been with Derrick at Tyrone Restaurant the other day.
He didn’t recognize the other man, who had a sinister and fierce demeanor. However, Todd seemed to be trying to please him as he acted deferentially to the man.
“Hmm?”

As they passed by Finnegan and Cindy, the sinister man stopped in his tracks. His greedy gaze Cindy and roamed over her unconventionally striking figure. “Not bad. You, stay behind and accompany me for drinks.”
Cindy’s expression changed; she was not expecting to run into this kind of trouble.
Instinctively, she edged closer to Finnegan.
When Todd spotted Finnegan, his expression shifted.
He leaned in to whisper to the sinister man, “Mr. Zymons, I had a run-in with this guy a few days ago. He seems to have a good relationship with Mr. Zephyr Haimowitz from the Haimowitz family. How about we let her go? I’ll find you a few beauties from Jadeborough University later!”
“Who cares about the Haimowitz family?”
Solomon Zymons pushed Todd aside and arrogantly adjusted his collar, saying, “Even the Miles family of Jadeborough and the Langdon family of Nuthana would have to greet me politely.”
Pointing at Finnegan, he continued, “Kid, it doesn’t matter who you know. I have my eye on this woman by your side. You get out of here while she stays!”
Cindy’s expression tensed, and she quickly wrapped her arms around Finnegan’s. “You’re not going anywhere!”
Finnegan narrowed his eyes.
He looked at Solomon and then at the intimidating group of black-clad men.
