Chapter 16 Kneel Before Him
Kathleen had to reel in from the confusion when she saw the caller’s number before she could pick up the call.
Her expression changed while she was on the call, and she kept glancing at Finnegan. A solemn look crossed her face.
Upon ending the call, Kathleen sighed and said, “Kneel before Mr. Larkin and apologize to
him.”
What?
Sasha thought she had misheard Kathleen. “Mom, what did you just say?”
Trey and Bernice were baffled. They were wondering why Kathleen was asking Sasha to go on her knees after answering a call.
However, Kathleen gave no explanation as she said, “Kneel, or I’ll kick you out of the Miles. family on behalf of your father!”
Her words stunned everyone present.
Tears
sprang to Sasha’s eyes as she cried out, “I hate you, Mom!”
Then, she bent her knees and kneeled before Finnegan. Unprecedented humiliation crashed into her as she squeezed out, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have offended you. Please forgive me!”
Kathleen was not happy to see her daughter on her knees, but the memory of the call from earlier made her collect herself.
“Is that enough, Mr. Larkin?”
Complicated feelings washed over Bernice as she looked at Finnegan. Finnegan was certainly the first person in Jadeborough who could force the Miles family to this point.
Yet, Finnegan merely shrugged and started walking away. “If you kneel until the next evening, I’ll consider lending a helping hand to the Miles family once.”
The rest of the people were silent as they watched Finnegan leave.
Only when she could no longer see Finnegan did Bernice mutter, “Mrs. Miles, I’ll take my leave first.”
