Chapter 140 Whatever You Say
“Mr. Zymons, you’re having a blast today, huh?”
After Solomon hung up on Finnegan, he played around with some women in bikinis, making Todd who came to see him green with envy.
Solomon wrapped his arm around a petite girl and grinned. “I finally got some payback, so of course I’m having a blast now.”
Todd was well aware of what Solomon had done.
“Finnegan doesn’t know what’s best for him. He’s really got some nerve to cross you, Mr. Zymons! However, Liam is not as capable as you. He was utterly defeated by Finnegan.”
Solomon’s interest was piqued.
He let go of the girl and got out of the water, taking off the waterproof cap that covered his head injuries. “What happened to Liam?”
Todd chuckled and told him how Liam had sent funeral flowers but ended up in the detention center because of Romona.
Upon listening to that, Solomon said coldly, “Finnegan is such a coward.”
After all, he had been taken away by Romona’s men as well in the most humiliating manner last night.
Todd said, “He and the Miles family are probably just acquaintances. He has no other way apart from begging the police department to help him.”
“Unfortunately, it didn’t work. He’s doomed to fail.” Solomon snorted.
“Oh? Are you still continuing to target him, Mr. Zymons?”
“Of course.” Lying on a beach chair, Solomon beckoned two beautiful women to come and massage his legs for him. “But I won’t target him for the next two days. I’ll wait and see who ends up winning between my father and Old Mr. Wahlstrom first!” Solomon narrowed his eyes at Todd. “I almost forgot that Mr. Calandrino is part of the Wahlstrom family, and you’re one of his men. I don’t think I should be telling
you this!”
Todd laughed and said, “Mr. Calandrino has always been neutral, and this time’s the same too. Otherwise, the Zymons family and the Wahlstrom family wouldn’t have chosen Jadeborough as the site for the challenge!”
Solomon replied, “Yes, we dare to use Nuthana as the site for the challenge because Jadeborough is where the Wahlstrom family has the least influence. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have the guts to challenge the Wahlstrom family. Regarding this, my father is also very grateful to Mr. Calandrino for his neutrality, and my father will thank him well in the future.”
Todd merely smiled and said nothing.
He was aware that he shouldn’t respond.
Once word got out there, people would think that Tyrone and the Zymons family were in cahoots.
Solomon laughed and pulled a pretty girl into his arms. “It’s nice to have a clown like Finnegan for me to

mess with before the great challenge begins!”
Todd agreed, “Finnegan is a really good target to mess with. However, not everyone can mess with him. Just look at how Liam ended up.”
“Hahaha… Let’s observe a minute’s silence for poor Liam!”
At about the same time, Liam, who had been sent to the detention center, sneezed.
“Mr. Sable, are you feeling unwell?” Hailey, who had rushed here after hearing the news, asked with
concern.
“Are you being serious?” Liam replied gloomily through the glass wall.
He was born with a silver spoon and grew up in a privileged family. He had never suffered like this before in his life.
The thought of a dozen people living together in a cell with a single bucket as a makeshift toilet made him shiver.
“What did my grandfather and father say? Can I get out of here?”
Hailey said with a wry smile, “They told me to tell you to behave yourself and stay here for fifteen days
this time.”
What?
Liam wondered if he had misheard. His eyes widened as he asked, “I have to stay here for fifteen days? Why?”
He didn’t want to stay in this hellhole for even a minute longer.
In a hushed voice, Hailey explained, “After they found out you were arrested, they instantly tried to use their connections to bail you out, but nothing worked. Romona at the police department seems to have quite a powerful background. Since she insists on keeping you locked up for fifteen days, no one is allowed to release you on bail.”
Liam hollered, “How powerful can Romona’s background be? Isn’t she just the head of the police department? Doesn’t my grandfather know an old man around here?”
“Watch your words, Mr. Sable,” Hailey urged hastily.
Pointing upward, she added, “That old man hinted that Romona is probably from Durbaine.”
Liam’s face was drained of color.
Durbaine!
He knew what that meant.
Is Romona the child of some bigwig who came here to experience the world?
Thinking of this possibility, Liam punched the table. “Dang it! Finnegan lucked out! When I get out, I’ll make him pay!”
“Mr. Sable, just stay here for the time being. Goodbye.”
2/4
Hailey left, and Liam was soon taken back to a room that held eighteen people including himself.
It was about forty square meters, and everyone slept together on the floor.
Due to the hot weather and the different types of people who were sent here, the air was filled with strong smells. The odors of smelly feet and sweaty bodies made Liam gag a few times.
“Hey! Do you think we stink or something?”
“You really got some nerve, huh? How dare you puke in front of us?”
“Look at his soft and tender skin. He must be a rich kid. I hate rich people the most.”
“Come here. Let’s have a chat. Why were you puking just now?”
As six or seven thugs walked over, Liam panicked and said, “Don’t mess with me! I’m Liam Sable, the young master of the Sable family. If you dare-ow!”
Before he could finish his words, he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
However, he was quickly muffled and dragged to the corner right next to the makeshift toilet.
The foul smell made Liam’s stomach churn, but he could only make whimpering sounds because of the hand over his mouth.
“Come and show this boy some fun. Let him know he’s worth nothing here!”
Several big guys pressed Liam down.
The others went along with the situation and kept watch at the door. The passing guards only glanced at them and walked away without noticing anything wrong.
