Chapter 231 A Lesson Is Enough
Felix was taken aback for a moment.
He had thought Finnegan would directly teach Francesca a lesson
58%%
However, it was better if Finnegan didn’t make a move He quickly said, “Francesca, quickly show Mr.
Larkin the thing
“Felix, who exactly is he that you’re so afraid of him?”
Francesca was extremely upset.
“Cut the crap and hurry up!” Felix scolded, unable to provide a detailed explanation.
Francesca’s delicate body trembled. She gritted her teeth, wanting to say something.
But when she met Finnegan’s emotionless gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
Reluctantly, she ordered, “Go, bring me the Eternal Crown.”
Taking advantage of the moment when the Chappell family’s bodyguard went to fetch the item, Felix
stepped forward.
“Finnegan, there might have been a misunderstanding tonight. I was just about to ask the hotel to
check the surveillance. You-”
Finnegan nodded. “We’ll talk about any misunderstandings later. Let’s solve one problem at a time!”
A thought stirred in Felix’s mind.
Does he want to…
Considering a certain possibility, Felix looked at Francesca with sympathy, hoping that the outcome
wouldn’t be too bad.
Soon, the Chappell family’s bodyguard came over, carrying a tray with a dazzling and magnificent
crown on it. However, some of the decorative diamonds on the crown had fallen off, and the golden top
of the crown had already been deformed.
The gem, akin to a luminous pearl, embedded above had already fallen off.
Francesca said in a cold voice, “While the damage appears to be non-severe and repairable, the act of
repairing it will significantly diminish its value. In fact, one could argue that it would lose its status as a
collectible entirely!”
Finnegan chose to ignore Francesca, his gaze falling upon the Eternal Crown.
At a glance, one could tell that this was a crown with at least a thousand years of history.
It would be difficult to replicate its original patina.
Francesca let out a soft huff and continued, “Rumor has it that this was once the crown of a great
emperor.

It’s no ordinary crown!”
Felix gently reminded, “Francesca, maybe you should say a little less!”
It’s clear that Finnegan is holding back his anger. Francesca really has no sense of the situation.
Francesca was curious about who Finnegan was. She was surprised that he could make Felix so
uneasy.
However, she didn’t pay much attention to it in her heart, as she had no recollection of any big shot
named Finnegan in her memory.
Finnegan’s eyes, fixed on the crown, flashed with an unusual glint. He picked up the gem that
resembled a luminous pearl and examined it carefully.
Seeing him just standing there, Francesca grew impatient again. “Kid, don’t waste my time. Can you
even understand the value of this treasure? You should hurry up and ask Mr. Haimowitz to help your
sister, then kneel and beg for my forgiveness. Otherwise… I’ll make you suffer more than my two
bodyguards!”
Felix’s face changed. He really wanted to slap that delicate face of Francesca.
Can’t you feel yourself going down?
Finnegan set down
gem.
He slowly turned his head toward Francesca, his eyes indifferent. “Indeed, it’s worth eight hundred
million. Give me your account information!”
Upon hearing this, Felix quickly spoke up. “Finnegan, it was because Wynter had Rhiannon replace her
that this happened today. We should be the ones to pay for this.”
“No need. I can shoulder my sister’s mistakes as her brother.”
Francesca was anything but calm.
She asked doubtfully, “You have eight hundred million”
Is he some rich young man I’ve never heard of?
But as soon as she had that thought, Francesca forcefully dismissed it. If Finnegan was indeed the son
of some prominent figure, why would he let his sister serve as Wynter’s secretary?
Her confidence surged once more. “Can you really produce eight hundred million? Don’t try to fool me
here!”
“Your account number!”
Finnegan narrowed his eyes, a clear sign to those who knew him well that his patience was wearing
thin.
With a cold laugh, Francesca gave out her account number. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
After obtaining the account number, Finnegan immediately made a call. “I’m giving you an account
number now. Transfer eight hundred million from my account to it. I only have the patience to wait for
you for one minute!”

Francesca couldn’t help sneering inwardly when she heard that.
Keep pretending. Just keep pretending!
Finnegan hung up the phone. He clenched his right hand and then unclenched it as if he was warming
up.
Francesca, oblivious to her impending misfortune, suggested, “You should hurry and ask Mr. Haimowitz
to help you; otherwise-”
Before she could finish her sentence, the phone she was holding rang with an announcement.
“Finnegan Larkin has just transferred eight hundred million to your account.”
The mocking expression on Francesca’s face froze instantly.
Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was agape.
How could this be?
Hastily opening the text message on her phone, she saw that the bank transfer notification she
received was completely legitimate.
Swallowing hard, Francesca looked up at Finnegan and asked, “Who exactly are you?”
He can easily withdraw eight hundred million in cash and even demand the bank to transfer it within a
minute. Even Grandpa can’t do it. After all, the restrictions on large transfers are very
Finnegan asked, “Has the money been transferred?”
“It has!” Francesca nodded subconsciously.
strict!
Finnegan asked again, “So, the matter of my sister damaging the Eternal Crown ends here, right?”
Francesca replied with unease in her heart, “Of
Course!
te
“Excellent!” Finnegan nodded with a profound meaning. “Now that the matter of the Eternal Crown has
been resolved, let’s deal with the issue of you hitting my sister next!”
Felix’s expression subtly changed. Just as I thought.
However, before he could utter a word to stop him, Finnegan had already slapped Francesca across
the face, showing no mercy.
Francesca’s face visibly swelled up, and she felt as if her teeth were loosening.
Her head was buzzing as well.
But before she could react, Finnegan slapped her across the face again. In an instant, Francesca’s
cheeks swelled up even more.
Immediately after, Finnegan delivered a kick.
Francesca spat out a mouthful of blood, her body tumbling across the ground for a good seven or eight
meters before coming to a halt.

Her body began to swell, giving her the sudden sensation of having grown significantly. The swelling
brought with it an intense pain.
The bodyguard from the Chappell family snapped back to reality. “How dare he lay a hand on Ms.
Chappell! Everyone, get him!”
Felix thought it wouldn’t be easy to stop them this time
Seven or eight bodyguards from the Chappell family charged toward Finnegan.
With a swift motion, Finnegan grabbed and swung a chair.
The two individuals in the lead were instantly knocked to the ground. One suffered broken ribs, while
the other had a broken hand.
Amidst cries of pain, Finnegan stepped forward, chair in hand. He swung the chair, weighing over ten
pounds, and hurled it toward the other bodyguards of the Chappell family.
Several people wanted to dodge, but they couldn’t react in time. Before long, they all fell to the ground,
wailing in pain.
Tossing the already broken chair to the ground, Finnegan headed straight toward Francesca.
He could afford to pay the money, but Francesca, having hit Rhiannon, must pay the price.
Felix’s eyelids twitched nervously, and he quickly stepped forward. “Finnegan, a lesson is enough.”
“Get lost!”
Finnegan kicked Felix away without hesitation, then stepped on Francesca who was trying to get up.
Suddenly, Francesca felt an even greater pain, tears welling up in her eyes. “You jerk, get your foot off
me, And do you even know who I am? I am—”
Finnegan drew back his leg and delivered another kick as though kicking a soccer ball. “It doesn’t
matter who you are. All I know is that you’ve hurt my sister!”
