Chapter 12 Separate Ways
“You idiot, are the gears in your head rusty? I can’t believe you didn’t take the opportunity despite how initiative Rhia’s senior was!”
“Mom, I’m not interested in her in that way. You can’t force me to go. Also, I’m going to the Zimmerman residence for dinner tonight, so I’m not free.”
“I don’t care. You’ll have to take action when you treat her in the future. Hurry up and get into an official relationship with her.”
“Finny, your mother is right. With our family’s terms, we can’t be picky. Don’t miss the opportunity if she’s interested in you.”
Rhiannon told their parents about what happened between Finnegan and Lindsey the moment they reached home. In response, Desmond and Quiana berated him.
It was only when evening came did Finnegan leave home to go to the Zimmerman residence for dinner.
“Parents who force their children to get married are terrible,” Finnegan commented under his breath while he was on his way to Xendale.
He had already refused to work as Bernice’s assistant in Firebird Group, so he could not refuse to have dinner with her too.
By the time he reached Xendale, the sky was almost completely dark. Once the security called the Zimmermans to ensure that they were expecting a guest, the security let Finnegan into the neighborhood.
Vroom!
Right as he was about to reach the Zimmerman residence, the engine sounds of a sports car came from behind him. A Maserati was speeding over, and Finnegan was sure the driver was driving faster than eighty kilometers per hour.
The driver only spotted Finnegan when they were dozens of meters away from him. Hastily, they slammed their foot on the brakes and honked at him.
The corner of Finnegan’s lips twitched. “What the hell? Do the rich not care about human lives?”
Are they really driving that fast in a neighborhood with speed limits of twenty kilometers per hour?
But the car was meters away from Finnegan by then, so there was no time for Finnegan to do anything but dodge to the side. As he was too close to the side of the road, his clothes were
