Chapter 79 Are You Qualified To Vouch For Him
What if I vouch for him?”
No sooner did the voice ring out than heavily armed soldiers emerged one by one. As they skillfully
fanned out to the sides, they opened up a path in the center by pushing the guests
back.
Two similar-aged young men walked over, their upright posture exuding a commanding
aura.
The scene that unfolded shocked the crowd. Why is he here with so many men?
Reginald’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably. “Mr. Wright!”
Even though Jadeborough had ten prominent families, it didn’t mean that they wielded the highest
authority in the city.
That position belonged to a more powerful entity hovering above them all-the Wright family.
Their absolute power not only extended to Jadeborough but also throughout Nuthana, and they held
the fates of many in their hands. Even the ten prominent families of Jadeborough dared not challenge
their authority.
At that moment, the person who spoke was none other than Stephen Wright, eldest grandson of the
Wright family and the most powerful scion within Nuthana.
As for the man beside him, no one had seen him before.
Nevertheless, anyone who could stand by Stephen’s side was definitely someone distinguished.
Upon realizing what was going on, Bruce hurried forward to greet Stephen, “Mr. Wright, please forgive
me for being rude. I—”
However, Stephen simply walked past him. Under Finnegan’s thoughtful gaze, Stephen stopped right in
front of Reginald, wearing a frosty expression. “Old Mr. Sable, I will vouch for this man. Are you still
going to pursue the matter?”
Even though Stephen was only twenty-eight, he exuded a distinguished yet domineering aura, causing
Reginald to stagger backward before steadying himself.
“Mr. Wright, why are you willing to vouch for Finnegan?”
The matter had not only shocked Reginald but also everyone else present.
On top of Alexander, the Haimowitz family, and the Miles family, the scion of the Wright family has
me forward to vouch for him. Who in the world is this young man?
Even Bernice gave Finnegan a curious look.
She knew that he had cured Gilbert and Winston before, hence their support for him didn’t come as a
surprise.
However, now that the Wright family was standing up for Finnegan, she realized that she didn’t know
her boyfriend as much as she thought.
Stephen sneered, “Do I need to explain myself to you? The only thing you should do is to answer me
whether I am qualified to vouch for him or not.”
Reginald’s face turned red. It went without saying that he didn’t dare say that Stephen wasn’t.
However, Liam felt indignant over the turn of events as he had painstakingly plotted to frame Finnegan.
“Mr. Wright, Finnegan molested my secretary. This is-”
“Shut up!” Reginald’s expression drastically changed as he screamed at Liam. “The matter has come to
an end. The Sable family will not pursue it any further.”
Bruce, who had just been ignored, added, “Neither will the Zimmerman family.”
Given how shrewd these old men were, they knew they had no choice but to accept Stephen’s word.
In fact, they were now more interested to know why Stephen was vouching for Finnegan.
“However, I would like to continue pursuing the matter.” At that moment, Finnegan spoke abruptly.
“Otherwise, everyone will a*sume that I did commit the act but am trying to escape by pulling strings.”
Caught off guard by Finnegan, Reginald glowered with greater intensity. “Are you still not satisfied,
Finnegan?”
The consensus among the crowd was that Finnegan was getting carried away instead of knowing when
to quit.
Nonetheless, Stephen sneered, “Old Mr. Sable, I think it’s a good idea for Finnegan to clear his name.
Otherwise, everyone will just think that I’m covering for him.”
Filled with burning rage, Reginald kept his mouth shut and ensured Liam did the same.
With the help of Stephen’s domineering presence, Finnegan walked up to the shocked and teary-eyed
Hailey. “I pulled you into the washroom to molest you. did I?”
Liam interrupted, “What are you asking that for? If it wasn’t for Mr. Wright-” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

innegan’s slap was so powerful that Liam spun around before crashing onto the floor. “I’m not ing to
you!”
Everyone was surprised to see Finnegan behave in such a haughty manner.
Upon regaining his senses, Reginald thundered, “Finnegan, do you think impunity just because Mr.
Wright has your back?”

Stephen narrowed his eyes as he responded, “Old Mr. Sable, are you accusing me of covering up
Finnegan’s crimes?”
“That’s not what I meant! It’s just that Finnegan-
Stephen cut him off ruthlessly, “Since that’s not what you meant, you had better shut Also, I’m not going
to tolerate anyone else getting in Finnegan’s way!”
1.
The fact that Stephen was clearly siding with Finnegan kept everyone silent. Even Liam was no
exception despite being slapped.
Only Millicent dared to rant softly, “I can’t stand how despicable and smug he is!”
Ignoring how everyone saw him, Finnegan stared intently at the nervous Hailey. “Answer
me.”
With her b*dy trembling, she stuttered, “I… I… It’s…”
As Hailey began to feel her knees buckle, she collapsed onto the ground in tears. “I’m sorry. You didn’t
molest me. It was I who tried to frame you. I did it out of frustration after rejected my advances. Please
forgive me.”
you
While her beauty was one of the reasons Liam kept her by his side, the other was her brains.
Hence, she recognized that maintaining her lie was useless and would only land her in greater trouble.
With that thought in mind, she decided that confessing was for the best. Not only would she be granted
clemency, but she could also hide the fact that she was acting under Liam’s order. Protecting him
would help her gain greater trust and favor from him.
The words brought a sense of relief to Liam, for he was truly worried that she would reveal
the truth.
Seizing upon the widespread shock, Liam climbed to his feet and gave Hailey a slap. “So.
you’re the one who tried to frame Finnegan and lie to everyone. I was blind to have trusted you and
even stand up for you!”
Cognizant that Liam was playing along with her charade, Hailey hurriedly added, “I’m sorry, Mr. Liam. I
had a crush on Finnegan, and my judgment was clouded by his rejection. I’m truly sorry!”
“So that’s what happened. I was wondering why Finnegan would do something like that during such an
event.”
“I can’t believe she tried to frame him after her seduction failed. She’s such a disgrace!”
“I was almost taken in by you too, you despicable woman!”
Those who were disparaging Finnegan a short while ago shifted their verbal attacks toward Hailey.
Meanwhile, Finnegan couldn’t help but furrow his brows when Hailey took the blame unexpectedly.
As for Liam, he gave Finnegan a sincere look after slapping Hailey. “I’m truly sorry, Finnegan. We were
all tricked by Hailey. That said, I hope that you will show her mercy on the account that her emotions
had gotten the better of her.”
Liam took the initiative to apologize after the responsibility was squarely laid on Hailey’s shoulders.
At that moment, Finnegan knew that dwelling on the matter any further would make him. look petty.
Nonetheless, he did manage to vent by slapping Liam in the face. Holding that thought, he turned
around to thank Trey and the others. “I appreciate what you have done for me, Mr. Miles, Old Mr.
Haimowitz. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to clear my name this evening.”
Recalling Reynard’s previous instructions, Stephen declared, “Mr. Haimowitz, Mr. Miles, if there’s
nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave.”
Together with Jace Samson, who had remained silent throughout, Stephen left with his men. It was as
if he had never made an appearance at all.
At that moment, Felix and the rest were mired in shock. Since when were our families powerful enough
to bring Stephen here?
“Bernie, I’m going off first to treat Mr. Haimowitz and the rest to a drink as a token of my gratitude.”
While everyone was still lost in a daze, Finnegan took his leave from Bernice and Jeft.
