A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 75 Very Impressed

Queenie’s voice attracted everyone’s attention to their table.

Everyone had a playful look on their faces.

The Long Life Pill that Liam had offered to give as a gift was priceless.

Queenie’s announcement that Finnegan was Bernice’s boyfriend implied that Finnegan’s gift must be even more precious than Liam’s, turning up the heat on Finnegan’s upcoming gift presentation.

It was a sly move to put Finnegan on the spot, as whatever he presented would now be compared to Liam’s gifts. If it wasn’t as valuable as Liam’s, it could be interpreted as Finnegan’s lack of respect toward Bruce.

Liam smirked. He was unaffected by Queenie’s remark about him being an outsider.

In fact, he responded with a playful tone, “Well, as Bernie’s boyfriend, Finnegan should naturally give a gift that’s more valuable than mine.”

“Absolutely! Finnegan, what have you prepared? Show us something impressive.”

“Mr. Sable, an outsider, has already given such a precious gift. Your gift must be even more valuable.”

“Come on, my future brother-in-law. Don’t be shy. Let’s see what you’ve got!”

Around the table, both Timothy and the younger Zimmerman family members spoke up, clearly aiming to create an awkward moment for Finnegan and Bernice.

Bruce frowned slightly, thinking this might not be the best approach. Still, driven by his aversion and dislike for Finnegan, he refrained from intervening and simply watched the scene unfold.

Perhaps this would be a good way to make Finnegan back down.

In the face of their deliberate provocation, Finnegan reached out to stop Bernice from speaking up.

He rose from his seat and said, “You’re right. As an outsider, even Mr. Sable has presented such a precious gift. As Bernie’s boyfriend, I can’t fall short. However, before I reveal my gift. I have two questions.” He turned to Queenie and the others, a piercing look in his eyes. “Mr. Sable, an outsider, has presented such a precious gift. As members of the Zimmerman family, why are your gifts so simple?”
