Chapter 1700: Hypnosis

[BACK IN SKYLINE PLAZA]

Finn stood before the wall, studying it in silence. Penny and Zoren had already left -Penny was going to try hypnosis. She had never done it before, but she had studied it out of morbid curiosity.

So, Finn was here to analyze everything with fresh eyes.

Deep lines appeared between his brows as he tilted his head. His eyes darted between scattered details that weren't yet connected. After all, based on the vault photos, the road map was originally disorganized—at least compared to how Penny had tried to arrange them.

"Wait a second," he muttered, taking out a pin and moving the photo next to the Smith Family tree. He then stepped back to take a better look at it.

Silence filled the study room as Finn stared at the wall.

"No," he whispered, shaking his head slightly. "Don't tell me he specifically chose the Smith Family because... of me?"

So, in his twisted logic, Jonathan chose to use Cassandra as the scapegoat to divert enemy attention from the Bennets. While the hit on Nina might have been for a different reason, the result was just as twisted.
