Chapter 211 Still Causing Trouble
If it was just someone from a single department coming to inspect, it was a coincidence.
But the simultaneous arrival of those six or seven departments certainly couldn't be a coincidence.
After all, Jerome Medical Clinic had been in business for many years. Even if it was closed for two years, wouldn't be singled out like that.
"We came on our own for a routine check-up."
"There are so many people at your clinic. Something must be wrong."
"I advise you to step aside immediately, or else you'll be in even more trouble."
The officials stubbornly retorted.
Finnegan frowned. He didn't feel right treating them like he would treat street thugs.

"D*mn it!" Upon seeing this, Jaxon immediately took off his safety helmet and announced, "I am Jaxon of the Miles family. Answer Mr. Larkin's question right now. Did you come here on your own, or were you sent by someone? If not, I'll use the Miles family's influence to make you lose your jobs."
Ever since he was taught a lesson by Finnegan for flirting with Bernice, Jaxon had been constantly looking for opportunities to get on Finnegan's good side.
Given such an opportunity at that moment, Jaxon would certainly not want to let it slip away.
Zephyr chimed in, "And there's me, Zephyr from the Haimowitz family. Hurry up and speak!"
Shaun clicked his tongue. "F*ck! Why isn't this in Bellridge?"
If he were in Bellridge, he could settle all matters with just a word.
In Jadeborough, however, all he could do was watch as Zephyr and his crew put up an act.
Unfortunately, those people had heard the names of Jaxon and Zephyr, but they had never seen them in
person.
Someone immediately scoffed. "Bullsh*t! At most, you guys are just contractors, yet you dare to claim- you're from the Haimowitz and Miles families. Move aside quickly, or you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
I can't believe they've been mistaken for contractors. Shaun burst into laughter. "It seems your reputation in Jadeborough isn't worth much. Your names don't carry any weight here!"
As their faces turned red with frustration, Zephyr and Jaxon clenched their fists, ready to step forward and throw punches.
However, Finnegan stopped them. "They're not thugs. Let's leave them to the people who can handle them properly."
A person from the Commerce and Industry Department sneered, "Deal with us? Who can deal with us? If

you know better, step aside immediately, stop working, and close the shop."
Just then, Stephen, who was there to pick up Finnegan, walked in, his expression gloomy. "Quite the confidence you have there. Let's see if I can handle you all, shall we?" The staff member turned around. "Who the hell... Mr. Wright!"
The staff's legs suddenly started to tremble. "Why are you here?"
The individuals from the other departments also recognized Stephen, who served as the city's secretary.
Their faces changed one by one. "Mr. Wright!"
Stephen said in a deep voice, "Tell me what's really going on. The construction at Jerome Medical Clinic is perfectly legal. Why are you targeting it like this?"
Facing Stephen, more than twenty people became flustered.
They were all looking at each other and were too nervous to even continue the conversation,
In fact, they were even more puzzled about what was actually going on. Wasn't this supposed to be an easy job?
Stephen demanded angrily, "Speak!"
An employee from the Environmental Protection Department couldn't hold back any longer and quickly responded, "It was Mr. Chambers and his team who asked us to come. They said it would be enough to get this clinic to cease operations and close down."
Sure enough, someone was playing tricks. Finnegan clenched his fists. "Who is Mr. Chambers?"
The staff member dared not hide it any longer. "It's our commissioner's son, Mr. Chambers, along with Ms. Quintana and Mr. Haney. However, they didn't tell us the reason behind this operation. They just told us to do our job."
"So it's them." Stephen knew the people mentioned.
With a look of annoyance, he whipped out his mobile phone and dialed a number. "Mr. Chambers, tell your son and his gang to get over to Jerome Medical Clinic right now. If not, you and their fathers can consider retirement!"
After finishing his words, Stephen hung up the phone.
In the midst of the fearful gazes from people across more than twenty departments, he said to Finnegan, "I will definitely get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation."
More than twenty minutes later, vehicles from various departments of Jadeborough started arriving outside Jerome Medical Clinic.
The top brass from the Department of Health, the Environmental Protection Department, and the Commerce and Industry Department all swarmed in together.
Behind them trailed a group of young men and women, their faces pale and tense.
"Mr. Wright, what's going on?"

With a stern face, Stephen looked at the group of young men and women and said, "Your children are quite capable, even knowing how to use your connections to stir up trouble. And yet, are you really clueless about what's going on?"
Stephen certainly didn't believe any of it.
The truth was that those people had already asked all the necessary questions. They were just wondering if they could bluff their way through.
Seeing that Stephen was insistent and unwilling to budge, the commissioner of the Environmental Protection Department immediately slapped his son.
The others followed suit, turning to their own children. "Hurry up and explain to Mr. Wright what exactly is going on. Why are you targeting Jerome Medical Clinic?"
A group of arrogant rich kids immediately started crying. "Stop hitting us. This wasn't our intention. Keaton asked us to help."
Upon hearing those words, Finnegan narrowed his eyes. "Keaton?"
A young nobleman, his nose bleeding, nodded and replied, "Yes. It's him. He called us before returning to Jipsdale yesterday, asking us to teach the owner of Jerome Medical Clinic a lesson. Considering how well he took care of us when we were in Jipsdale, we agreed.
Finnegan couldn't help but laugh. "This Keaton really isn't a magnanimous person, leaving me with trouble even after he's gone."
If it weren't for Finnegan's influence, the clinic would have been shut down.
However, since Keaton had already fled back to Jipsdale, it was impossible for Finnegan to fly over and teach him a lesson.
With a shrug of indifference, he said, "Mr. Wright, I'll wait for you in the car. You handle things here as you see fit!"
"Mr. Wright, they were all instigated by others. Please, I ask you to forgive them just this once." Seeing that Finnegan was not pursuing the matter further, everyone quickly pleaded for mercy from Stephen. If Stephen were to get to the bottom of it, they would definitely be in deep trouble.
Stephen said with a stern face, "Everyone who caused trouble today will be fired. I will report to the mayor about your failure to discipline your children properly and propose penalties. From now on, you must behave yourselves and control your children!"
With that, Stephen walked out.
"You b*stard! You've done me in."
"Dad, it's all because of Keaton, I didn't do it on purpose!"
"From now on, keep your eyes wide open. Be more polite when you see the person we just met!"
Twenty minutes later, inside a hospital far away in Jipsdale, Keaton, who was hospitalized by his father the night before, hung up the phone, looking dazed. "D*mn! That brat knows Mr. Wright? Isn't he just a poor

doctor?"
When he spoke, his mouth opened a bit too wide, causing him such pain that he grimaced. "No! Knowing Mr. Wright is useless. I must deal with him myself."
The more he thought about it, the angrier Keaton became. He dialed a number and called someone in Capston, Nuthana.
Once the call connected, Keaton demanded, "Mr. Farrington, when you have a moment, I need you to teach someone a lesson. Once it's done, I'll send a few of my company's top influencers to spend a month with you in Capston!"
Clearly, Keaton still couldn't swallow the humiliation of being reprimanded by Finnegan.
