Chapter 116 Asking A Favor
That was an outcome that no one expected.
“What are you doing. Mr. Haimowitz?” Derrick shouted in confusion after snapping out of his dazed
state.
“I don’t need to explain myself to you,” Zephyr replied while kicking Derrick down to the floor.
Michelle was so frightened that she shrunk back into a corner of the room.
“My father is Robert Weller, Mr. Haimowitz! Do you even realize the consequences of your actions?”
Derrick exclaimed angrily while rubbing his tummy.
“Consequences? It’s funny that you’re talking to me about consequences after p*ssing Mr. Larkin off!
Do you really think I’d be afraid of you? Also, don’t even try to threaten me with your father, or I’ll pull
some strings to launch an investigation on him and get him jailed!” Zephyr retorted with a sneer.
Given the Haimowitz family’s status and power, doing something like that would indeed be a piece of
cake.
Derrick’s face fell, and he didn’t dare say another word.
With a smile, Zephyr walked up to Finnegan again and asked, “Well? Are you satisfied, Mr. Larkin?”
Cracking his neck, Finnegan stood up and glanced at Todd and Andrew as he asked, “So, you two said
you were going to teach me a lesson earlier, didn’t you?”
“Answer the question!” Zephyr shouted at them.
Unlike Tyrone, Todd and Andrew didn’t dare offend Zephyr.
“This is all a misunderstanding, Mr. Haimowitz. Derrick is the one at fault here,” Finnegan said when he
saw them chickening out.
“I want you guys to keep a close eye on Derrick and Michelle. Either they kneel for three days, or you
guys will!”
“Who do you think you are, Finnegan? You really think Mr. Haimowitz can protect you forever?” Derrick
protested.
Huh… Is that a threat I hear?
If there was one thing Finnegan hated most, it was being threatened.
“I’m nothing impressive, but I do have you at my mercy right now, and I could have Mr. Haimowitz get
rid of your father through his connections. That’s good enough for me. So, will you kneel?”
The look on Derrick’s face changed when he heard that.
Eventually, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and frustration. “I’ll kneel!”
I’ll cut my losses and get my revenge on Finnegan some other time!
Finnegan wasn’t all that concerned about Derrick coming back for revenge, though. He stood up and
patted Casper on the shoulder as he said, “Let’s go. There’s nothing here worthy of your time and
energy anymore.” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Having snapped out of her dazed state, Michelle cried out, “Casper! Casper!”
However, Casper was so disappointed in her that he followed Finnegan out of there without even
looking
back.
“You guys heard what Mr. Larkin said! Either make sure these two kneel for three days, or I’ll have you
guys kneel for three days!” Zephyr told Todd and Andrew. Then, he slapped Michelle before storming
off.
“Mr. Mackle, Mr. Coleman, are we just going to let this slide?” Derrick asked.
While he couldn’t afford to offend Zephyr by going after Finnegan, Todd and Andrew could.
Todd and Andrew exchanged glances before the latter said, “The Haimowitz family is able to
communicate with Mr. Calandrino directly. It’s best not to let Mr. Calandrino find out about something as
trivial as this, so you’ll just have to endure for three days!”
Derrick felt all the more frustrated when he heard that.
“Just you wait, Finnegan!”
Meanwhile, Zephyr ran up to a custom Bentley with a license plate number of five sixes and opened
the car door.
“Is this the car Old Mr. Haimowitz wants to give me?” Finnegan asked.
“Yes, that’s right! This is the car that my grandpa would like to give you, Mr. Larkin! The transfer
procedures have all been taken care of. Please don’t tell my grandpa that I’ve been driving it
throughout the past few days!” Zephyr replied with a nod.
Isn’t this car a little too high-profile?
With that in mind, Finnegan dragged Casper to the side and said, “You can drive this car for the time
being. I’ll give you a call if I need it.”
“Take care, Mr. Larkin!”
Zephyr waited until the two had disappeared from sight before scratching his head in confusion and
mumbling to himself, “And here I thought he’d turn out to be some big, strong man. He looks even
younger than I am! Is he really as powerful as Grandpa claims?”
The b*dyguard next to him leaned in close and whispered, “Old Mr. Haimowitz has never been wrong
when it comes to such things. Please do not doubt his judgment, or things could end very badly.”
Zephyr shuddered at the mere thought of Winston’s temper.
“In that case, I won’t interfere any further. We must tell Grandpa that I helped Mr. Larkin out today,
though. Who knows? He might just increase my allowance by a few thousand!”
Finnegan brought Casper to a restaurant as they hadn’t had lunch yet.
“How did you become acquainted with the Haimowitz family, Finnegan? Mr. Haimowitz was behaving
so respectfully toward you!” Casper asked curiously while waiting for the food to be served.
“I picked up some medical knowledge throughout the past few years, and I happened to save Old Mr.
Haimowitz’s life one day. As such, the Haimowitz family owes me a huge favor,” Finnegan replied.

Casper nodded in response. “Oh, I see. Just how skilled are you in medicine now? My mom says
you’re almost done treating your father’s legs!”
“It’s all right, I guess,” Finnegan said with a smile.
“Could I ask you for a favor, then, Finnegan?”
Finnegan eyed Casper from head to toe as he answered, “You seem pretty healthy to me, though. I
don’t think you need any kind of treatment at all.”
Casper scratched his head awkwardly as he said, “I’m not asking you to treat me. I want you to help
me make a lot of money because I’m sick of living like this.”
He then paused briefly before continuing, “If possible, could you also teach me how to fight?”
Michelle wouldn’t have cheated on me if I were rich, and I wouldn’t have needed Finnegan to avenge
me today if I were more capable!
As Finnegan understood his feelings, he replied with a nod, “Sure thing! Head over to Jerome Medical
Clinic and speak to Mr. Magnussen. You can help out over there while I teach you a thing or two. Of
course, I’ll pay you a salary too. Don’t even think about saying no to that!”
“All right, then. Did you and Dr. Magnussen really partner up to run a clinic together?” Casper asked.
Jenna had told him about it before, but Casper never had the chance to confirm it with Finnegan.
Finnegan patted him on the shoulder. “We’re open for business starting next Friday. Also, please don’t
tell my parents about what happened today. I don’t want them getting worried.”
“In that case, please keep what happened between me and Michelle a secret from my mom and
Josephine as well. I don’t want them going after her to avenge me or anything.”
Meanwhile, Tyrone was fishing by the pond in the backyard of Tyrone Mansion when Leonardo ran up
to him and reported, “Mr. Calandrino, we’ve received an update from the guys tailing Finnegan. He
caused quite a scene at Tyrone Restaurant earlier.”
Tyrone was so calm that his hand didn’t even tremble as he asked, “Did he do it on purpose to spite
me?”
“I don’t think so.”
Leonardo then proceeded to tell Tyrone the details of what happened.
“Since it was a mere coincidence, we’ll just ignore it,” Tyrone said after hearing his report.
“What about the other two things I told you to do? Are you done with making the arrangements?” he
added after a brief pause.
“Liam gave me a call earlier. As per your instructions, I didn’t tell him too much. Thanks to the report
from the city council, Liam does not suspect that Finnegan has anything to do with the destruction of
the Chomsky family. If everything goes according to plan, he should not hold back when going against
Finnegan. As for that other thing, I’ve already made all the necessary arrangements without leaving
any traces, so no one will be able to trace it back to us,” Leonardo replied.
Tyrone nodded in satisfaction after hearing that.
“Regardless of whether this fish comes from the Wahlstrom family, we’ll have to catch it and kill it!” he
