The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198 What a Coincidence

Robert’s and his son’s affair was like a minor issue to Finnegan. He didn’t take it to heart and believed that William would handle it well.

Finnegan was certain William would make Robert and his son regret!

“Finny, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I didn’t prepare a birthday gift for Old Mr. Caulder.” Desmond also learned about the situation from Finnegan and couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful.

From his youth, he regarded Soren as his idol in his teaching journey.

Even though it was his idol’s birthday, he didn’t prepare a gift.

With a smile, William took over the conversation. “Desmond, Mr. Larkin saved my father’s life, which is more precious than anything else. Even if you haven’t prepared any gifts like everyone else, you are still the most honored guest in our family.”

“Dad, I’ve prepared the gift,” Finnegan reassured his father with a smile.

He then asked, “Mr. Caulder, where are we going?”

William replied, “The birthday banquet doesn’t start until noon. My old man said to take you to his place to sit for a while once you arrive.”

Upon hearing that, Finnegan nodded. He, too, didn’t feel like going to the crowded front yard at the

moment.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Soren’s residence.

As soon as they walked in, a man suddenly jumped out, looking at Finnegan with a face full of anger. “It’s you, brat!”

It was indeed the young man who attempted to take advantage of Lindsey last night.

William frowned, “Keaton, what are you doing?”

Finnegan naturally recognized Keaton, too. With a teasing smirk, he said, “What a coincidence!”

“Mr. Larkin, do you know each other?” William asked.

Finnegan replied, “I’ve seen him, but I don’t know him!”

Keaton’s momentum weakened in an instant as he thought about what happened last night. Of course, he couldn’t reveal how he knew Finnegan. “Who is he?”

“Come, let me introduce you.” Soren didn’t think much and stood up with his cane. “This is Finnegan Larkin, the miraculous doctor who brought me back to life. If it weren’t for him, you would be attending my funeral today.”

When Keaton heard that, his expression shifted, a hint of reluctance flickering in his

He wanted to give Finnegan a piece of his mind once he figured things out.

eyes.

However, since Finnegan was the savior of Soren, he couldn’t be too brazen.

Soren turned to Finnegan and introduced the people beside him, “Finn, this is my eldest son, Jeremiah, who is currently investing in an education group in Jipidale. Next to him is my eldest granddaughter,

Myla, who is managing the company with her father. This is Keaton. His father was my student and is currently the commissioner of the Department of Education in Jipsdale. However, Keaton isn’t fond of education and invested in some media company.”

Jeremiah, who appeared to be quite old-fashioned, nodded at Finnegan. “Thank you for saving my father.”

Myla seemed a bit aloof, only giving a slight nod in acknowledgment.

On the contrary, Keaton was very enthusiastic. He stepped forward with a smile and offered his hand, “So it was you who saved my Old Mr. Caulder. I really can’t thank you enough.”

Finnegan completely ignored Keaton and said to Soren, “Old Mr. Caulder, this is my father, Desmond. He has admired you since his youth and always told me that you are one of the cornerstones of Loang’s education!”

Keaton was obviously upset that he was ignored and forcibly hid the dark look in his eyes.

Soren.

Nodding, Finnegan walked out.

However, he didn’t go to see Myla. He could sense a certain coldness from her toward him.

Instead, he found a nearby pavilion to sit down in, waiting for the event to begin.

Just as he sat down, Keaton approached him, sneering, I didn’t expect you to have a connection with the Caulder family.”

Finnegan glanced at him indifferently and withdrew his gaze. “Scram!”

It would seem people with questionable morals like Keaton were those Finnegan deeply rejected.

It was already quite decent of Finnegan not to expose what Keaton had done last night.

At that moment, Finnegan really was not in the mood to watch Keaton show off here!

Keaton scowled, lowering his voice as if worried about being overheard. “Brat, don’t think you’re something special just because you saved Old Mr. Caulder. My relationship with the Caulder family is far deeper than yours. My father is one of Old Mr. Caulder’s most prized students, and Mr. Jeremiah even intends to arrange for Myla to marry me. I suggest you stop acting all smug in front of me. Kneel down quickly, and let me vent my anger with a few slaps!”

Finnegan sneered, “Quite arrogant, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Old Mr. Caulder what you did last night?”

Keaton sneered. “Of course. However, do you know what playing the victim means? Or what it means to be closer to an outsider than to one’s family?”

Just as Finnegan was frowning, Myla, dressed in a white dress and exuding an elegant demeanor with a hint of scholarly arrogance, walked over. “Keaton, why are you here interacting with someone like him?”

She cast a disgusted glance at Finnegan.

Keaton’s expression shifted. “I came specifically to warn Old Mr. Caulder, fearing that he may be deceived.”

Myla nodded, expressing her disdain toward Finnegan, “We are grateful that you saved my grandfather, but the justice Uncle William sought for your father has settled our debts. The banquet has ended, so please leave. I’d appreciate it if you don’t visit the Caulder residence in the future, so I don’t have to embarrass you and reveal the unsightly things you’ve done to my grandfather.”
