Chapter 207 End Up Here
Ever since Mandy arrived in Jadeborough, Jared has been wanting to win her over.
Therefore, he knew that was her car.
In addition to Mandy, others such as Trey also arrived.
One luxury car after another came to a halt. Mandy and the others stepped out from the vehicles, their respective bodyguards dispersing in all directions.
The information was indeed correct! Having received the news in advance, Jared, who went there that night for a chance encounter, was overjoyed. He quickened his pace and uttered, "Ms. Langdon, what a coincidence! Mr. Miles, Mr. Haimowitz, you guys-"
Slap!
But as he approached, Mandy stepped forward, and with a swift movement, she fiercely slapped him across the face.
Still feeling a bit upset from being pushed away, Sallie covered her mouth, her face full of surprise. Jared covered his face, looking completely dumbfounded.
Slap!
Mandy slapped him again, and her pretty face darkened. "Jared, you're fired. You don't need to come to the office starting tomorrow."
Huh? Suddenly, Jared snapped back to reality, his face filled with panic. "Ms. Langdon, what have I done?
I..."
Mandy simply ignored him and walked past.
She bowed slightly to Finnegan amidst his and Sallie's mortified expressions, "I apologize. It's my fault for not managing my subordinates properly, causing them to offend you."
Trey, Felix, and others also stepped forward, one after another.
With a respectful and polite demeanor, they greeted, "Mr. Larkin!"
Seeing those heirs and heiresses treating Finnegan with such respect, a chill ran through Jared's entire body.
Sallie's mouth fell open in disbelief, shaking her head repeatedly. "How can this be? How can this be?"
Finnegan didn't seem like someone important, so she couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't accept that
scene.
Finnegan took Yuliana's hand, casting an indifferent glance over at Jared and Sallie. He then proceeded to walk inside, remarking, "Ms. Langdon, as one of the leading companies in Nuthana, Howard Group has piqued my curiosity. I wonder how such a young person could become the deputy CEO of a branch. Perhaps you could investigate thoroughly!"

"Rest assured, anyone who facilitates Jared's rise to power will be dismissed without exception!" Mandy replied.
The moment Mandy said those words, Jared was completely flustered.
He fell to his knees, devoid of any dignity. "Buddy, I didn't know you were friends with Ms. Langdon. Please ask her not to fire me. I'm even willing to accept a demotion!"
He had painstakingly used Sallie to get to where he was. If he were to lose his job, he would have nothing left.
However, Finnegan chose to ignore him.
Jared seemed to have thought of something and called out to Yuliana, "Yuliana, we've been in love for three years. You once said that I'm the man you love the most in this lifetime. Please plead on my behalf. And besides, it wasn't my fault to begin with. It was Sallie who got me drunk, and that's how things happened! I don't love Sallie either. I've been using her all along. If you help me, I can get back together with you!"
"Jared!" Sallie's enchanting face twisted instantly. She walked over and slapped Jared hard. "It was clearly you who got me drunk in the first place. I just played along with you on purpose. Moreover, where would you be today without me? You jerk!"

At that point, Jared couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed Sallie and started to fight. "This is all fault! If you hadn't insisted on getting out of the car to see if it was Yuliana, how could things have turned out like this? I'm going to kill you!"
The two immediately started wrestling with each other with Sallie getting beaten to the point of crying out for mercy.
Mandy waved his hand and said, "Throw them out. Don't spoil our mood."
"Ms. Langdon, I was wrong. Please don't fire me!"
By the riverside, Yuliana smiled at Finnegan. "Finnegan, were those words you said earlier true?"
After what had just happened, her inner turmoil had been resolved, and she felt better than ever.
Finnegan asked, "What are you talking about?"
"You said I'm yours!"
Finnegan's lips twitched slightly as he hurriedly explained, "Yuliana, don't misunderstand what I said. When I said that, I meant that we were friends. You are someone by my side, not in that other sense." Yuliana smiled gently, radiantly. "I know. Why are you so anxious? Am I that bad?"
"You're not bad. I just worry you might misunderstand.
A sense of inexplicable loss filled Yuliana's heart when she heard that.
However, her mood wasn't affected. "Don't worry. There's no need to explain. I just want to ask, was what you said about Jared and Yuliana true?"

It was certain that Finnegan was meeting them for the first time that day.
But it was clear that what Finnegan had just said was true. Otherwise, Sallie wouldn't have been so visibly upset.
Finnegan stretched lazily and said, "It's true! Jared is an egoist. He knows very well that without a solid background, it's impossible to rise. So, whether it was when he was dating you or when he was with Sallie, it was all for his own future. That Sallie really is foolish, repeatedly sacrificing herself for Jared's future. In modern terms, she's just a pitiful soul who's been brainwashed!"
Finnegan knew all about that through physiognomy in Primordial Pharmacopoeia.
Yet, Yuliana became even more curious. "How did you know?"
Just as Finnegan was about to concoct an excuse to bluff his way through, Felix's shout came from afar. "Finnegan, the food is ready. Come on over. Ms. Wahlstrom has also arrived!"
Felix's timing was perfect. Finnegan said, "Let's talk about it later. We should go and get acquainted with everyone."
Yuliana nodded, choosing not to ask any further.
Nancy was just bringing over the duck confit when she saw Finnegan, immediately greeting him sweetly, "Hi, Finnegan."
There and then, there was a hint of surprise in Yuliana's heart. How come Finnegan seems to get along so well with these rich people?
Nodding in response, Finnegan was ready to introduce Yuliana to everyone.
Everyone clearly knew Yuliana, and they had already greeted each other.
Finnegan gave his forehead a slap and let out a bitter smile. How could I have forgotten? Jerome is one of the top ten miracle doctors in Loang, and he was undoubtedly a guest of honor among all families before. This can be seen from Winston's initial seeking medical help from Jerome Medical Clinic. So, Yuliana didn't really need any introduction to Felix and the others. It's just that she might not have had much interaction with them in the past. But this is good, too. Yuliana won't feel out of place.
Finnegan sat down and looked at Alisha, softly asking, "How come you're here too?"
He thought it would just be Mandy and the siblings from the Haimowitz family and the Miles family.
Alisha gave him a glance, her voice filled with a hint of complaint. "Just how much do you not want to see
me?"
She went on to curse him under her breath, but Finnegan decided to ignore it completely.
Turning his head, he called out to Nancy, "Nancy, once all the dishes are served, invite your father to join us for the meal. It's more lively when everyone's together."
Upon seeing Finnegan taking the initiative to invite and knowing that Nancy was Rhiannon's classmate, everyone chimed in.
Nancy smiled and nodded. "All right. I'll go tell my dad and then I'll bring out more snacks."

A few minutes later, Nancy returned, carrying the already sliced roasted suckling pig, but Bennett was nowhere to be found. "My dad said he'll just have something light. You guys take your time and enjoy." Finnegan initially planned to take this opportunity to figure out Bennett's true intentions, but Bennett didn't even want to show up.
Finnegan felt a bit of regret but didn't dwell on it. "Then sit down and join us for the meal."
At that moment, Bennett was in the kitchen, looking their way.
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Has Finnegan discovered something?"
