The expressions on their faces all changed.

“What false accusation? We have no idea!”

“Your mom killed mine. The police have already determined it, and there are eyewitnesses. How is that a false accusation?”

“And what about my son? The classroom surveillance captured everything. It was your father’s mishandling that drove my son to jump off the building. How is that framing?”

“Don’t think that by framing us, you can exonerate your mom. We won’t yield.”

“At most, we were emotionally agitated and caused serious injuries to your mom, but there’s absolutely no false accusation involved!”

Except for the man in black who dared not speak, the remaining six were desperately explaining and rebutting.

Finnegan had anticipated this. With a light wave of his finger, he commanded, “Hit them again!”

The elite members of the Wahlstrom family rushed up once more, kicking and beating the seven. Once more, the factory was filled with cries of mercy and wails of despair.

Finnegan remained unfazed, showing no intention of stopping.

Riley frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable with Finnegan’s violence, but she didn’t dare to speak up.

After another three minutes, Finnegan signaled the elite members to stop. “Since I was able to find you, it means I’m confident in my abilities. So, I advise you to confess honestly. That way, you can avoid some unnecessary suffering.”

The eldest son of the deceased still stubbornly insisted, “We didn’t do it, absolutely not!”

“Is that so?” Finnegan sneered, taking a file from Alisha. “If that’s the case, answer a few questions for me.”

He addressed the brothers, “Both of you brothers are ordinary wage earners, struggling to make ends meet. But why have you each reserved a house worth over six million and a car worth over one million in the past couple of days?”

Turning to the couple, he added, “You usually fret over car and house loans. But how come all of a sudden, one of you reserved a Mercedes-Benz S-Class car, and the other spent three hundred thousand on a beauty salon membership?”

After a pause, he asked, “Did you both find money at the same time, or did you win the lottery?”

At this point, Finnegan’s gaze turned cold. “Furthermore, since you value family ties so much that you won’t accept a settlement and would rather see my parents go to jail, why haven’t you gone to the morgue to see your mother’s body or to the hospital to check on your son in these past few days?”

Before they could react, Finnegan’s palm shook, and the documents in his hand turned into fragments.
