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. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
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 there were any oversights in the investigation, wouldn’t Finnegan have
borrowed eight hundred million or used his own eight hundred million to protect his sister? Why would
he 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?”
“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!”

through the darkness of the night as if it were a call from the Grim Reaper in
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?”
