A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 123 Liam Cannot Protect Himself

“Finnegan, why are you standing outside? What is going on inside?”

Before Liam arrived, Bernice returned from the restroom.

Finnegan wrapped an arm around Bernice’s waist and explained the situation to her briefly.

However, he didn’t tell her about his guess regarding Solomon’s identity.

He also didn’t mention that he deliberately left Cindy back there.

Bernice’s expression changed. “I can’t let anything happen to Cin.”

“Wait!” Finnegan pulled her back.

Bernice frowned. “Finnegan, I know you don’t like Cin, but she isn’t evil. She simply believes you’re not suitable for me.”

That Finnegan knew. Otherwise, he would’ve taught Cindy a lesson long ago.

However, Finnegan pulled Bernice back as he wanted to enjoy the show. “Liam will be here soon. Let him deal with it.”

“Liam is coming over?” It took Bernice a while to realize what was going on. “Did Cin ask him to come?”

Finnegan merely smiled and said nothing.

Bernice allowed her thoughts to run wild.

She glanced inside the restaurant and discarded the idea. “Let’s wait for Liam to arrive. Todd’s family isn’t as influential as my family, but he has Tyrone’s support.”

An amused look flickered in Finnegan’s gaze. “Yes. We shall wait for him to save the damsel in distress!”

Soon, Liam arrived with over ten b*dyguards in tow.

His handsome looks and entourage immediately attracted the attention of countless ladies at the scene.

Some even began gossiping about him softly.

Liam’s ego was greatly satisfied, and he straightened his back proudly.

He strode straight to the entrance of the restaurant, not noticing Finnegan and Bernice standing off to the side.

He gave a pompous wave, and the b*dyguards immediately swarmed forward to force the men in black to make way for him.
