A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 291 Suffer A Double Loss

All along, Finnegan knew something was amiss.

That was why, after arriving at the Zimmerman residence, Finnegan was constantly on guard around Millicent and her group. Therefore, when they offered him a toast, he deliberately agreed, using it as an excuse to drink more/

He simply wanted to see what kind of scheme they were really up to.

However, he never expected that this was their plan.

All along, their plan was to get Queenie to sleep with Finnegan and snatch him away from Bernice.

Finnegan reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.

The sudden brightness made Queenie blush deeply, and she quickly shielded herself with one hand.

With a meaningful glance, Finnegan realized that he and Queenie were almost touching each other.

“Finnegan, I’m no worse than Bernice. If you can accept Bernice, why can’t you accept me? I
