Chapter 291 Suffer A Double Loss All along, Finnegan knew something was amiss.
That was why, after arriving at the Zimmerman residence, Finnegan was constantly on guard around Millicent and her group. Therefore, when they offered him a toast, he deliberately agreed, using it as an excuse to drink more/
He simply wanted to see what kind of scheme they were really up to.
However, he never expected that this was their plan.
All along, their plan was to get Queenie to sleep with Finnegan and snatch him away from Bernice.
That was not just despicable. It was downright maniacal.
Queenie was shocked. âYouâre not drunk?â
âWhat do you think?â Finnegan found women like Queenie, who clearly didnât want to but still bowed their heads in compromise, both pitiable and detestable.
In an instant, Queenie understood it all. âYou never believed that my grandma and the others would sincerely apologize to you, did you? Youâve been wary of us from the start? Even pretending to be drunk to test us?â
Finnegan reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.
The sudden brightness made Queenie blush deeply, and she quickly shielded herself with one hand.
With a meaningful glance, Finnegan realized that he and Queenie were almost touching each other.
A playful smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. âSince you already know, why arenât you hurrying down? You should be aware that even if you sit on me now, itâs pointless. I wonât mistake my drunkenness for having slept with you!â
In other words, even if Queenie continued to dedicate herself, she wouldnât get what she desired.
Instead, it would result in the needless sacrifice of her body.
Despite a momentâs hesitation, Queenie still showed no intention of leaving.
Instead, she lowered her hand and said, âFinnegan, Iâm no worse than Bernice. If you can accept Bernice, why canât you accept me? I think Iâm better than Bernice!â
As she spoke, Queenie lay on Finneganâs body. Despite her obvious nervousness, she feigned calm.
âBesides, itâs clear that you have feelings for me. Why keep denying it?â
And having Queenie lying on top of him like that, it would be a lie if Finnegan said he didnât enjoy it.
However, his gaze remained clear. âWhat gives you the confidence to think youâre better than my wife?
You canât even match her in terms of self-respect and self-love. She knows how to refuse unreasonable demands, something you canât do! As for having feelings for youâ¦â
Chapter 291 Suffer A Double LoSS Finnegan wrapped his arms tightly around Queenieâs waist.
With a mischievous smile, he said, âIsnât this a normal reaction for a normal man? But for me, youâre just someone who can trigger my primal instincts, nothing more!â
With that, Finnegan swung his arm. trying to free himself from Queenieâs grip. But Queenie, still intent on restraining Finnegan, let out a sharp scream as she tumbled to the ground.
The carpet on the ground prevented her from getting hurt from the fall.
Yet, that only served to infuriate and embarrass her. âFinnegan. I didnât expect you to pretend to be drunk. But what do you think would happen to you and Bernice if I were to shout right now?â
Finnegan sat up, looking at Queenie with interest. âAre you trying to threaten me?â
âSo what if I threaten you?â Queenie knew that the plan of sleeping with him could no longer continue.
but she had a new plan. âNow, if Bernice comes in and sees this, do you think she will believe you or me?â
Finnegan nodded. âThat seems about right. If you were to shout now, ninety-nine percent of people would probably think I have ill intentions toward you. Butâ¦â
With that. Finnegan picked up his phone from the side and showed the screen to Queenie. âI had the foresight to start recording on my phone before you walked in. Do you still think you can stir up trouble between me and Bernie?â
Seeing the recording symbol on the screen, Queenie, who originally planned to threaten Finnegan, suddenly changed her expression. Instinctively, she rushed toward Finnegan. âGive me your phone!â
If Finnegan were to expose the recording, she would be completely ruined, and Millicent and her group would also be subjected to ridicule.
After all, they actually encouraged her to seduce Berniceâs man.
With a cold laugh, Finnegan switched off the recording Lifting his leg, he kicked Queenie, sending her sprawling on the ground.
Obviously, a frail girl couldnât possibly withstand a kick from Finnegan.
Queenie grunted and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, gasping for air but unable to exhale. His forehead was instantly drenched in cold sweat.
Tossing his phone on the bed. Finnegan squatted down in front of her, patting her face gently. âYou clearly donât want to, yet you still listen to your grandma and the others. You really donât deserve any sympathy! Since itâs come to this, I have no choice but to beat you at your own game. Youâll learn what it means to suffer a double loss and what it means to suffer a silence.â
Queenieâs face turned pale as she tried to call for help, but Finnegan had already sealed her mute acupoint, rendering her unable to make a sound.
At that moment, Queenie completely panicked, shaking her head incessantly.
She wouldnât mind sleeping with Finnegan, but that was only if she could benefit from it afterward.
However, it was clear to her that she could no longer gain anything from Finnegan.
her on so easily.
Grabbing her by the hair, he headed toward the bathroom. âDonât worry. Iâm just going to teach you a little lesson. I wonât take your life.â
With a thud, the bathroom door closed, leaving only a vague view of the pair through the frosted glass door.
That went on for nearly half an hour, and the sound of the shower came from the bathroom.
A few minutes passed, and Finnegan emerged, wiping his body with a towel. Behind him, sitting on the floor, was Queenie, her eyes filled with tears and her face etched with humiliation.
Dressed in his clothes, Finnegan turned his head to look at her.
A faint smirk played at the corner of his mouth. âYouâve learned your lesson now, havenât you? This is what they call suffering a double loss. And youâd better keep your mouth shut. Thatâs what they call suffering in silence!â
With that, Finnegan gave a hearty laugh, opened the door, and walked out.
As soon as he did that, he saw Sapphire standing sneakily to one side.
Seeing him emerge, Sapphire immediately put on a smiling face. âHave you sobered up?â
While speaking, she kept glancing around the room out of the corner of her eyes, but due to the angle, she couldnât see anything.
Finnegan said playfully, âYoungsters sober up quickly, so Iâll take my leave first. Once Bernie finishes chatting with Old Mr. Zimmerman, could you please let her know that Iâve left?â
âAll right! Take care on your way, and visit more often!â Sapphire thought that Queenie had already succeeded, so she enthusiastically escorted Finnegan to the staircase.
After watching him go downstairs, she quickly ran to the room, only to find Queenie sitting on the bathroom floor, completely disheveled and naked.
Sapphire widened her eyes in surprise. âD*mn! Finnegan is really wild. Did you guys do it in the bathroom? But it doesnât matter where, as long as you succeed.â
It seemed that those words had provoked Queenie. She jumped up and pushed Sapphire, shouting, âGet out! Just get out! I told you this wasnât right, but you just wouldnât listen. Now look whatâs happened, huh? Iâve suffered a double loss!â
With a slam, the bathroom door closed, and the crying began.
Sapphire anxiously asked, âQueenie, whatâs wrong? Havenât you and Finnegan already slept together?â
Queenie shouted, âGet lost! We didnât! We didnât! Finnegan pretended to be drunk, and he knows everything now. Just get out!â
What? Sapphireâs face turned pale. âThen why are you âGet lost!â Before Sapphire could finish her sentence, Queenie interrupted her with a shout.
O Fearing that Bruce and Bernice might overhear, and with things still not entirely clear, Sapphire said, âIâll step out for now, Calm yourself and come to our room afterward.â
âGo away! Go away!â
