A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 199 Do You Think I Am Kind

Upon their first meeting, Myla took an immediate dislike to Finnegan.

In the midst of his thoughts, Finnegan immediately understood what was going on.

Keaton had already played the victim first.

However, Finnegan didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled and asked, “Ms. Caulder, I’m curious, what unsightly thing have I done?”

“The things you’ve done make me sick. I can’t even bring myself to talk about it. Have the decency to leave once you’re done eating!” Myla responded indifferently, taking Keaton’s arm. “Let’s go. Staying with these kinds of people only makes me uncomfortable. Let’s move ahead. I’ll introduce you to a few people.”

Without giving Finnegan a chance to explain, she took Keaton’s arm and left.

The latter turned around, making faces at Finnegan, full of provocation.

Finnegan narrowed his eyes, unwilling to swallow that insult.

As Keaton turned around, Finnegan opened his right hand, revealing two silver needles hidden in his palm.

With a bend of the finger, two silver needles, silent and deadly, were launched, embedding themselves into Keaton’s head.

Keaton, secretly admiring his brilliance, grunted and unexpectedly collapsed on the ground.

Myla asked anxiously, “Keaton, what’s wrong with you?”

“I’m feeling a bit dizzy all of a sudden, probably because I didn’t sleep well last night.” Keaton was somewhat puzzled, rising to his feet with the help of Myla.

With a smile, Finnegan asked, “Keaton, what did you tell Ms. Caulder?”

“It’s none of your-” Keaton turned around impatiently.

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but he found myself speaking uncontrollably, “I told Myla that you conspired with a woman last night to set me up, trying to blackmail me into swindling money. Lalso told her that, because I refused to submit, you beat me up. It was utterly despicable. I then told her to speak with Old Mr. Caulder afterward to not be deceived by you.”

After speaking, Keaton quickly covered his mouth, his face full of surprise. What’s wrong with me? Why did I answer so honestly?

Myla snorted. “Finnegan, why do you insist on making Keaton speak about it? Do you find it amusing to embarrass yourself?”

Finnegan nodded in sudden realization. “I see now what playing the victim is, but it seems more like he’s twisting the facts.

Even though it was Keaton who took advantage of Lindsey, it ended up looking like he was the victim of a
