“Are you having a nosebleed?”
Romona realized something was amiss when Finnegan came out of the bathroom.
A mocking smile curved her l*ps as she said, “Just as expected, you don’t mean what you say. I know
that you’re playing hard to get with me.”
Staring at Romona’s provocative outfit, Finnegan blushed.
“Can you go and get dressed first?”
It wasn’t a case where Finnegan was easily startled, but he was just too used to Romona’s macho
demeanor.
The sudden emergence of her submissive feminine side came as too big of a shock to him.
Only when Romona lowered her head did she remember what she was wearing.
The epiphany caused her to push Finnegan away. “Get lost, you shameless b*stard!”
“F*ck! Why are you scolding me now? You were the one who decided to dress that way.”
The door was subsequently slammed shut with a bang, but Romona’s outburst could still be heard.
“You b*stard, weren’t you the one who asked me to do so? You must have been coveting me from the
moment you made the bet. How am I going to show my face in public now?”
Finnegan responded with a wry chuckle.
She was the one who was insisted on this, so how is it my fault now?
Nevertheless, after recalling the dance that lasted a few minutes, Finnegan mumbled to himself,
“Luckily, she took it seriously. Otherwise, I would have missed such a sensational scene.”
A short while later, Romona returned in a conservative-looking pajamas.
Despite the intense flush on her cheeks, her anger didn’t subside at all. “I’ll kill you if let sl*p what
happened tonight.”
Finnegan scratched his head. “To be honest, aren’t you overreacting? It’s nothing personal; I just don’t
feel like it.”
“You b*stard, stop acting noble after taking advantage of me!”
How can he say something like that after my dance?
Romona grabbed a pillow and threw it at Finnegan who caught it easily.
“All right, all right, whatever you say. But you should forget the matter of being my maid. Your time
would be better used to protect those who need it.”
“No, I want to see for myself how much you dislike me. For this entire month, I’ll come to see you

whenever I’m free!”
After spending some time with each other, Finnegan got a grasp of Romona’s character.
The more he persuaded her to do something, the greater her desire to resist.
He decided to stop doing so. “Suit yourself. I’m leaving.”
Since it was too late to return to Dragon Bay, Finnegan decided to spend the night at Jerome Medical
Clinic.
.
Romona barked, “Stop! I-” She was interrupted by the abrupt ring of her phone. “Who’s calling at this
ungodly hour?” Upon answering it, she sprang to her feet. “What? Who let him go? He’s already out?”
Stunned, Finnegan waited for Romona to end the call before asking, “What happened?”
Romona replied through her gritted teeth, “My colleague just called to inform that someone had gotten
Solomon released with an order from the Department of Enforcement. On top of that, the police officers
who beat him up on my orders have been punished and demoted!”
“The Department of Enforcement?”
Finnegan’s pupils contracted sharply.
That’s the department responsible for all of Loang’s police. The Zymons family not only has an ally
within it, but whoever it is also has the authority to release the man Romona personally arrested.
“Who’s there?”
Just as he was wondering who it was who had the Zymons family’s back, the voice of a guard from the
Quickwood family was heard.
Casting her frustration aside, Romona walked out to the balcony with Finnegan following her from
behind. “Who is it?”
They were greeted by the sight of four guards surrounding a frosty-looking young man whose b*dy was
covered in blood.
He was holding a broken blade that was as black as the night,
Narrowing his eyes, Finnegan scrutinized the young man who was emitting an icy aura.
Romona ordered, “Capture him and find out if he’s targeting me!”
The four guards, all Enigma Realm warriors, swiftly swung into action.
In response, the youth met their attacks without a word. The barrage of his assault was so
overwhelming that the four guards had to fall back. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Finnegan’s eyes lit up. “This looks interesting!”
To be able to beat back four guards despite his grievous injuries, this young man is a force to be
reckoned with!
Upon recovering from their shock, the four guards continued attacking the youth.

Nevertheless, the youth didn’t seem keen to prolong the battle. While fending off the guards’ attacks,
he gradually made his way to the fence on the right.
With less than two meters left, the youth abandoned all his defenses and made a slash with his broken
blade.
Faced with the devastating yet invisible shockwaves fired out from the blade, the four guards retreated
with a frantic look on their faces.
Two of them who had reacted a little slower had their clothes shredded by the impact.
Fortunately, they managed to escape unscathed.
The youth somersaulted over the fence before vanishing into the dark night.
“He has escaped!”
When Romona whipped out her phone to call for reinforcements, Finnegan stopped her. “Forget it.”
“He could be someone who knows who I am and wants to hurt me!”
Finnegan shook his head, then held onto the balcony railing before jumping over it. “He has probably
stumbled in by mistake. If he was really targeting you, he wouldn’t have come in such a beaten state.”
Romona quickly saw the logic behind Finnegan’s words.
There was no way an injured person would ever attempt to assassinate her.
“Wait, where are you going?”
Upon landing steadily on the ground, Finnegan jumped over the fence as he replied, “Home, obviously.
Otherwise, I’ll end up being ravaged by you here.”
Having been teased in front of her own men, Romona snapped, “Finnegan, you b*stard! I’m not done
with you yet!”
Unfortunately, there was no response from Finnegan for he had already disappeared into the night.
Romona stomped her feet in anger.
“That jerk! How can he do this to me!” she ranted before returning to her room.
The four guards exchanged clueless glances with each other before looking up to the third floor which
was more than ten meters high, a height which Finnegan had jumped down from.
They couldn’t help but discuss the matter among themselves. “Should we inform Old Mr. Quickwood
that Ms. Quickwood brought a man back for the night? And that he’s a martial artist too?”
“Throughout my ten years of working here, I’ve never seen Ms. Quickwood bring another man home,
let alone allow him into her bedroom.”
“We should let Old Mr. Quickwood know that Ms. Quickwood is seeing someone.”
Ten minutes later at the Quickwood residence in Durbaine, a young man in military fatigues strode into

small courtyard and reported to an elderly man, “Grandpa, I have news from Jadeborough. Romona
brought a man back home, and he seems to be a martial artist. They are guessing that Romona is
dating him and would like to ask if she is to be summoned back here?”
A glint of shock flashed across the elderly man’s eyes. “Romona is dating? Who is he?”
The young man replied, “A man named Finnegan Larkin.”
The shock in the elderly man’s eyes was quickly replaced by delight. “Finnegan Larkin?”
“That’s right!”
“All right, you should get some rest now.”
Stunned that his grandfather wasn’t enraged by the news, the young man nodded before leaving the
courtyard.
When he was finally alone, the elderly man chuckled to himself. “Even though we failed to secure the
marriage back then, I’m sure no one will have any objections if Finnegan and my granddaughter are in
love with each other.”
He pulled out his phone immediately and made a call gleefully.
“My dear granddaughter, a girl’s reputation is extremely important, especially one who carries the
Quickwood name. I heard that tonight…
