A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 58 A Fate Worse Than Death

“Finn!”

Rhiannon was overwhelmed by a sense of relief the moment she saw Finnegan. With tears in her eyes, she rushed forward to hug him.

Suppressing his murderous aura, Finnegan comforted her, “You’re safe now. I’ll make sure those who bully you will pay a heavy price!”

After having her cheeks torn and losing a few teeth from Finnegan’s slap, the terrified Xandra pleaded for mercy.

“Finnegan, Amelia and her brother started this. I have nothing to do with it at all. On top of that, I was set up by them too. Amelia forced me to spend time with that fatty, Larry, over the weekend. Last Friday at Ark, Dexter was just acting tough, as he couldn’t afford the bill in reality. Not only did he pawn Amelia’s car, but he also borrowed eight hundred thousand. from Larry on the condition that he hooks the latter up with a few university girls.

She had thought that Amelia was sincerely trying to help her and didn’t expect it to be a trap.

At that moment, Larry, blood oozing down his forehead, pushed aside the door that was pinning him down and got to his feet. “D”mn it, how dare you cause trouble at Pentariver Group? You’re done for, kid. I’m going to kill your entire family!”

A cold glint flashed across Finnegan’s eyes, triggering a burning rage in them.

Nonetheless, he was mindful of not letting Rhiannon witness the gruesomeness of what was about to occur. “Rhia, why don’t you wait outside for me?”

“Finn, we’re in Pentariver Group. Why don’t we just let it go?”

”

“Even if we’re in Durbaine, I’ll never forgive those who lay a finger on you!”

Rhiannon was touched by the fury displayed by her brother. “Be careful, Finn.”

The panicking Xandra yelled, “Rhia, take me with you.”

However, Rhiannon gave her a look of disappointment before walking right out.

Grabbing her hair, Finnegan smashed Xandra against the wall. He didn’t hold himself back on the account she was a woman.
