A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 42 The Scheme Of Tristan

At the entrance, Winston walked in with Wynter’s help, followed by Yahir and the others.

Meanwhile, Ximena’s face glowed with pride. Winston gracing her engagement banquet was the icing on the cake for what was probably the most glorious moment of her life.

“Stop, don’t move yet!” Xavier barked.

Carrying out his mother’s instructions, he came forward and grabbed Finnegan’s arm.

As an icy glint flashed across his eyes, Finnegan gave his arm a shake, unleashing a powerful yet unseen force. The sudden numbness in his hand forced Xavier to let go and caused him. to stagger backward.

He conséquently lost his balance when he bumped into a table right behind him.

Just as he was about to crash onto the ground, he reached out by reflex to grab something. Little did he expect it to be the corner of the tablecloth.

Not only did he fail to stabilize himself, but he also pulled down all the gla*sware and plates from the table.

The loud crash interrupted the joyous atmosphere of the occasion.

Amidst the sudden silence that ensued, everyone turned around to look.

As Raymond’s and his wife’s faces lost all color, Qahira’s l*ps quivered. “Oh, no!”

The moment Ximena saw that her brother was the cause of the commotion, her expression froze immediately with tears welling up in her eyes.

As for Finnegan, he continued to push Desmond forward as if he had nothing to do with it at

all.

The sight of Finnegan brought a glow to Winston’s and Wynter’s faces. Both of them didn’t seem surprised by the turn of events.

They had already investigated Finnegan’s background, and that was the reason they decided to attend the engagement banquet. Winston had wanted to leverage the engagement banquet of his grandnephew to improve his relationship with Finnegan.

“What’s your family doing?”

Finnegan and his family combined with Xavier’s embarra*sing behavior caused Yahir to lose his temper before he had a chance to greet Winston. “Just as expected,
