Chapter 214 Liam Has Been Released

"Meanie, why didn't you stop your mom from asking me to stay?" Bernice asked.

With a mix of reluctance and compliance, Finnegan led Bernice to a room on the third floor. Her face was flushed with a shy blush, making her quite captivating.

Upon receiving the messages from Quiana, Finnegan couldn't help but laugh. "I'm afraid even I couldn't have helped you just now. Your mom, might even scold you for going home tonight." "What do you mean?"

With a smile, Finnegan handed her his phone. "See for yourself."

Taking the phone, Bernice saw the messages from Quiana. It was a message asking for a grandchild.

Additionally, there were several screenshots.

Upon opening it, it was unmistakably the chat history between Quiana and Jennifer.

The content instantly made Bernice's face redder. "What on earth are my mom and your mom

Jennifer and Quiana were secretly plotting to get he

and Finnegan to have a child sooner.

Finnegan stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Bernice in a tight embrace. "Darling, you just said that the essence of filial piety is to make parents happy. What should we do now?" "Meanie, I'm done with you. I'm going to take a shower" Bernice pushed Finnegan away, threw her phone onto the bed, and with her face flushed red, she dashed into the bathroom. With a smile, Finnegan sat down by the bed.

Not long after, Bernice emerged from her bath, dressed in Rhiannon's pajamas. Her face was flushed, and she dared not look at Finnegan. "Do you want to take a bath?" Seeing her nervous expression, Finnegan stood up and pinched her cheek, saying, "Wait for me."

After he finished his bath and came out wearing only a pair of shorts, Bernice had already turned her back to him and lay down, appearing as if she had already fallen asleep.

With a slight smile playing on his lips, Finnegan switched off the lights in the room and swiftly climbed in.

"Ah... No! You can't!" Bernice, who hadn't fallen asleep in the first place, let out a gasp, gripping Finnegan's hand tightly.

Finnegan didn't insist on anything. Instead, he embraced her. "Darling, how's work been lately?"

Bernice's heartbeat quickened as she leaned into Finnegan's embrace.

Even though it wasn't the first time she shared a pillow with Finnegan, she still couldn't help but feel shy. "Grandpa's change in attitude has made things much smoother for me. The only thing that's a bit frustrating is that Grandma and Uncle Bishop's family are still clinging to the three-month agreement!"

result, she couldn't double the profits of Firebird Group's three major industries, being liquor, catering, and pharmaceuticals.

If that were

nue, breaking up with Finnegan would be a must.

Even though Bernice wouldn't do such a thing, if Millicent and the others were to make a fuss about it, it would still inevitably cause a headache.

Finnegan squinted his eyes and said, "Are these really your own grandmother and uncle? All they think about is using you for a political marriage to gain benefits."

After speaking, Finnegan carefully sensed Bernice's emptions.

Bernice's emotions didn't fluctuate much. "Both my grandma and Uncle Bishop are family. It's just that my grandma tends to favor her younger son and has a bit of the old-fashioned mindset of valuing boys over girls, which is why things are like this."

Clearly, Bernice had no idea that Millicent was not her biological grandmother.

Furrowing his brows, Finnegan chose not to say much at that moment as he had no evidence. "It's okay.

KC

No one's fuss is going to matter. Unless you want to break up with me, no one else can tear us apart! Also, if you encounter any difficulties at work, feel free to tell me. I may not understand, but I can get the Miles family to lend a hand."

Bernice lifted her head, looking at Finnegan in the faint light coming in through the window.

Eyes as serene as water, she said, "Meanie, how can you manage to act mischievously while still speaking so seriously? Besides, you promised not to touch me before we're married."

At that very moment, as Finnegan was speaking earnestly, his hands were all over her.

Finnegan chuckled and suddenly turned over. "Darling, I won't cross your boundaries, but I should at least get a little satisfaction from my hands, right?"

"Meanie... You just can't stop talking, can you?"

Several days swiftly passed by, and Desmond and Quiana had moved out of Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa and had settled into the teachers' dorm arranged by the school.

Finnegan's life had also temporarily returned to normal.

Aside from making another visit to the Wright residence to treat Waylynn, he spent the rest of his time at Dragon Bay without going out, as if he had returned to the state of being in the primeval forest as before.

As for Jerome Medical Clinic, which had temporarily opened, with Jerome in charge of consultations and assistance from Casper and Zephyr, Finnegan didn't need to worry about anything. That morning, as usual, he woke up early and cultivated for two hours.

Only when drenched in sweat did he stop and return to his room, shower, change clothes, and go downstairs for breakfast.

But just as he sat down, his phone started to ring.

It was a call from Hailey.

A flash of Liam's charming assistant secretary crossed Finnegan's mind as he answered the call.

"Mr. Larkin, Mr. Sable is about to be released," Hailey said.

Finnegan did a quick calculation and laughed. "Fifteen days really flew by."

If it weren't for Hailey's phone call, he would have almost forgotten about Liam.

Hailey asked, "Do you have any instructions?"

Taking the milk handed over by the housekeeper, Finnegan said, "There's nothing special to instruct. Just keep an eye on him as usual. Let me know if there's any unusual activity."

"Got it!"

After ending the call, Finnegan stretched his arms. Jerome Medical Clinic is almost ready, right? I should get ready, go over, and take a look in a bit. If the construction is almost complete, it's time to start preparing for the grand opening, I suppose this time there won't be someone as silly as Solomon showing up again, right?

Meanwhile, after reporting to Finnegan, Hailey drove to the detention center on the outskirts of the city.

By the time she arrived, it was already past nine in the morning.

She stood outside the gate for about ten minutes, and finally, the tightly shut gate slowly opened.

Dozens of people who were released that walked out.

In the crowd, Hailey also spotted the Liam, Axel, and Daniel.

Her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, her face showing surprise.

Compared to fifteen days ago, Liam had completely transformed.

Not only had he lost a considerable amount of weight, but his skin had also become significantly duller.

One could say that compared to his previous gallant demeanor akin to a white knight, Liam seemed more like a refugee at that moment.

However, Hailey quickly regained her composure and walked over. "Mr. Sable!"

Liam lightly lifted his eyelids, his expression indifferent and gloomy.

And without another word, he headed toward the car.

Taken aback for a moment, Hailey went ahead and opened the car door for him.

After taking a seat, Liam said in a hoarse voice, "Alex, you guys go back on your own. Hailey, you first replace a quiet place where there's no one around."

Hailey's heart skipped a beat, inexplicably feeling a bit nervous.

It seemed like Liam had changed.
