Chapter 28 Rejected Again
“Finnegan, I heard that you just bought a full-spec Porsche 718. Hurry up and cancel it. That’s your
family’s relocation fund.”
After waiting for over ten minutes, Lindsey finally arrived. She immediately urged Finnegan to cancel
the booking right away.
“Lindsey, we haven’t received the relocation funds yet. That’s my own money,” Finnegan said with a
smile.
Surprised, Lindsey asked, “Your money? Didn’t Rhia say you’re dirt poor and ask me not to look down
on you?”
Rhia is such a blabbermouth. Finnegan replied, “I have some savings from treating people these few
years. Rhia’s birthday is in a few days’ time. So, I bought a car as a present for her. I really didn’t use
the relocation fund.”
Lindsey heaved a sigh of relief after realizing that Finnegan seemed like he was being truthful. “It would
have been enough if you bought her a low-spec Porsche 718. Why did you have to buy the top-spec
model? Why don’t I return it for you and refund you the difference?”
“Thank you, Ms. Lindsey. As long as Rhia likes it, the price doesn’t matter,” Finnegan said
determinedly.
“Well, she is so lucky to have a brother like you. Lindsey decided against commenting further. However,
Lindsey then thought about how Finnegan addressed her and said, “It’s fine that Rhia calls me Ms.
Lindsey, but you can’t call me that!”
“Why not? You’re older than me anyway.”
“No way. You can call me Linnie or just Lindsey.”
Finnegan smiled and said, “All right, Lindsey it is. People are going to misunderstand if I call you
Linnie.”
Lindsey furrowed her brows and asked, “What misunderstanding are you afraid of? Am I ugly?”
Sensing the situation had gotten out of hand, Finnegan hurriedly said, “Let’s treat you first.”
Lindsey shot a glare at Finnegan and closed the drapes.
She didn’t feel as awkward in front of Finneganer having gone through the first treatment
session

The treatment this time was quite fast and finished in only about ten minutes.
Lindsey blushed crimson as she put on her clothes. “Let’s have lunch together.”
“No can do. I have to head to Bellridge,” Finnegan said.
Lindsey was aggrieved that she was shot down yet again. However, she didn’t want to be too obvious
and merely hummed in response before saying, “You can’t reject me again next time. Otherwise, I’m
going to complain to Rhia and ask her to tell your mom and dad.”
“We’ll talk next time. Bye!”
Finnegan’s quick exit left Lindsey feeling disheartened as if their interaction had been nothing more
than a routine treatment session. “Does he really not have any interest in me?” she wondered aloud.
Finnegan bumped into Ximena and Yosef after heading out. They had just booked a low-spec
718.
Ximena snickered at the sight of him. “Oh, did you cancel your booking? I thought you would’ve at least
waited for us to leave before you do that.”
Either kill or ignore the people who harbor ill intentions toward you.
Finnegan couldn’t kill Ximena. Hence, he chose to ignore her. He pretended as if he couldn’t hear her
and walked right past her.
However, Ximena thought Finnegan’s silence meant that he felt guilty. The smile on her face
broadened as she said, “Don’t feel bad. I’m your cousin. I won’t laugh at you. Anyway, my engagement
party is on this Saturday. Please extend my invitation to Uncle Desmond and Aunt Quiana.”
However, Finnegan paid no heed to her and left.
Ximena held Yosef’s hands and said, “Darling, let’s go. We can only get the car the day after
tomorrow.”
Yosef whispered, “Ximena, since I’ve bought you the car and saved your face, what do you say about
tonight?”
“What’s the rush? I’m going to give it to you after we’re engaged. I want my first time to be
meaningful.”
“All right. I’ll wait a few more days.”
Lindsey left the office right after the two of them stepped out of the store. “Lucy just sold at top-spec
718. Therefore, her internship ends today itself. She is now our full-time employee.”

Then, she shot a glare at Wendy. “How dare you look down on others? Pack up and get your paycheck
from the finance department. You’re fired.”
Wendy, who was expecting to be complimented for sealing a deal, was left at a loss. She didn’t even
get a chance to plead her case as Lindsey swiftly returned to her office right after she was done
talking.
“Ximena, was it your cousin who left in a Ferrari just now?”
Yosef furrowed his brows when he noticed a Ferrari speeding away when he was about to start his car.
Ximena traced his gaze and pouted her l*ps incredulously. “How is that possible?” Even if he all the
relocation funds, Finnegan still wouldn’t be able to afford the Ferrari.

It was not plausible that he knew anyone driving one. “You must have gotten it wrong!” Ximena said.
Yosef thought she was right. The car plate number on the Ferrari was not from Jadeborough
anyway.

Then, he changed the topic and said, “Oh, by the way, my dad told me last night that granduncle will
also be attending the engagement party on Saturday. You should behave yourself and make a good
impression on him. Who knows, he might be in a good mood and. even offer you a job in our
company.”
“Are you saying that Winston Haimowitz will attend our engagement party?”
“Yes. Granduncle has been feeling under the weather recently, and he’s hoping to attend a merry
occasion like our engagement party to cheer himself up.”
“That’s great! You’re the best, Darling!” Ximena exclaimed.
Meanwhile, in Bellridge city at noon, Alisha was casting a resentful look at Finnegan. “Do you really
take me for a driver whom you can summon at will?”
She had driven three hours to get to Jadeborough, and yet Finnegan said he would look for her again
whenever he required a car.
Alisha, the granddaughter of a powerful underground leader in Walund, one of Nuthana’s ten most
beautiful women, had never experienced such treatment from a man before.
Finnegan looked around the vibrant streets and turned to her. “Your grandpa sent you here to obey my
every command. If you’re not willing to do so, you can go back home. I don’t want you to follow me
around. It’s too risky!”
Her natural allure and occasional seductive demeanor left him feeling rather restless.
He would have long devoured the vixen if he didn’t practice the chant in Primordial Pharmacopoeia that
could control his lust.
However, Alisha was not offended and deliberately pressed herself against the car door, forming an
irresistibly enticing sight. “So, I am somehow a dangerous woman in your eyes. It seems like I am quite
the charmer, then. It’s just that you have better self-control.”
Her alluring voice and enticing curves made Finnegan burn with desire.
He immediately distanced himself and said, “Tell your grandpa I’ll go over when I’m done. here. Ask
him to get the liquor that he has been boasting about ready. If it’s any different from what I expect, he
can expect to not stand for the rest of his life.”
Seeing as her grandfather’s identity as the leader of the underground didn’t seem to intimidate
Finnegan, Alisha grew more intrigued.
With Finnegan’s back facing her, she said, “I swear I’m going to jump in bed with you.”
Finnegan stood under a road sign for over twenty minutes after parting ways with Alisha. Only then did
a special edition silver Lamborghini show up afterward. There was a beautiful woman dressed in all
black and shades sitting inside the car.
The Lamborghini managed to garner a lot of attention the moment it pulled up.
It came to a stop right in front of Finnegan.
Mandy got out of the car, eyeing Finnegan from behind her sungla*ses. She didn’t even catch a
glimpse of Finnegan when she went over to seek medical attention for Howard the other day.
However, Finnegan had just sent her a text asking her to come here to pick him. up.
Finnegan glanced at Mandy’s impa*sive demeanor and turned to look at the clock right by the road
sign. “It’s been twenty-six minutes since I sent the text. I’ve waited for an extra six minutes.”

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Mandy knew that he was the man she was supposed to pick She was
taken aback to see that the famed Mischievous Doctor was such a young man. and immediately bowed
to apologize. “Dr. Larkin, please forgive me for being late. I was stuck in the afternoon peak hour
traffic.”
Finnegan stepped forward, and Mandy immediately opened the car door.
“Just this once. There is no next time.”
“Yes, Dr. Larkin!”
