Chapter 48
I was too lenient before, which made Malcolm think I’m an easy target, Arya thought to herself.
“M–Mr. Barnett, I’m sorry,” Kurt stammered, thinking that by revealing the mastermind, he could escape punishment. He nervously asked in dari manage to pour the gasoline. Can we leave now?”
“Leave?” Finn’s lips curled into a half–smile. “Do you really think that’s possible?”
His voice was soft but carried a lazy, menacing tone that sent chills down Kurt’s spine like a demonic whisper from hell.
After shivering violently, Kurt bowed deeply, pleading for mercy. “Mr. Barnett, I was wrong. Please spare m
this time. I’ll do anything you ask
Finn’s lips slowly formed a mocking smile, but in the next second, he raised his long leg and kicked Kurt without hesitation.
Kurt was knocked to the ground, his face contorted with pain. As he tried to get up and beg for mercy again, a foot clad in a pair of black, high–end leather shoes came down heavily on his face.
In an instant, Kurt’s already aching face scraped painfully against the ground.
Kurt wailed in agony. “Mr. Barnett, I’m sorry.
have mercy.”
Wilbur, lying on the ground beside him, watched his friend being abused and felt a strange sense of relief. ‘Thank goodness he was paralyzed by that girl’s silver needle, or I’d be suffering the same fate,’ he thought.
“You attempted to harm my wife. Do you really think I’ll let you go easily?” Finn glared down at the man on the ground, his gaze as sharp as a blade, flashing with a terrifying malevolence.
The leather shoe on Kurt’s head pressed down even harder. Kurt, now beyond caring about the pain, instinctively knew that offending Finn might very well cost him his life.
Sure enough, Finn lit the lighter in his hand again, his voice low and chilling to the bone. “An eye for an eye is my way.”
When Kurt saw the flame in Finn’s hand, his eyes widened in terror, and he wet himself.
Arya suddenly spoke up in a calm voice. “Finn, I don’t mind how you,teach him a lesson, but don’t dirty the Keller Villa.”
In the past, her methods might have been even more ruthless than Finn’s. She would have made sure these two never saw the light of day again.
But here at Keller Villa, she didn’t want her family to witness such a gruesome scene.
Finn turned his head and met her clear, fearless eyes. He had thought his actions might have frightened Arya, but now he realized she simply didn’t want to soil the Keller Villa.
Finn shook off his thoughts and, without any mercy, stomped hard on Kurt’s back with his foot. Kurt passed out from the pain.
Wilbur, terrified, quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious.
Finn gracefully took out his phone from his pocket and made a call, his face expressionless as he ordered, “Come to Keller Villa immediately and clean up these two troublemakers.”
Arya had expected it would take at least half an hour for Finn’s call to be answered, but less than ten minutes later, Robert arrived with a group of bodyguards in black suits, rushing over in a hurry. “Hello, Mr. Barnett,” Robert greeted.
Robert glanced at the two men lying on the ground, then at Finn and Arya, and instantly understood the situation.
He respectfully stepped forward and said, “Mr. Barnett, I’ll have my men take these two troublemakers away right away. You and Mrs. Barnett can carry on as you please.”

After speaking, Robert quickly Instructed his men to drag the two men into the car, all the while avoiding looking at Arys
He was afraid that if he looked at her too long, Finn might take it the wrong way. The entire process fook less than three minuten-
Arya couldn’t help but turn to Finn, who hadn’t moved, and asked curiously, “Aren’t you leaving with them?”
“Do you want me to leave?” Finn took a step closer, his large, slightly cool hand gently cupping her delicate face, his tone carrying a tint of displexalte
As soch as he finished speaking, he leaned down and captured her red lips with his own.
“Mr. Barnett-” Robert returned from the car, intending to ask Finn what to do with the two men. But upon seeing the couple locked in a passionate kiss, he knew better than to disturb them and quietly left.
Robert sighed inwardly, ‘Forget it, I’ll just t
to himself.
two back and lock them up for now. I’ll ask Mr. Barnett what to do with them tomorrow, he thought
Finn held her close and kissed her for a long time, only releasing her when he sensed her breathing becoming a bit labored. Arya’s delicate lace was now flushed, resembling a rosebud on the verge of blooming, utterly enchanting.
Finn’s own breathing quickened again. Ever since this captivating woman had entered his life, he had found himself losing control more and more.
Even knowing that Arya was somewhat enigmatic, she still had a fatal allure that drew him in bit by bit.
Just as the atmosphere grew more intimate, an angry male voice suddenly rang out from behind. “You jerk, how dare you bully my sister. I’m going to beat you to a pulp.”
Finn turned his head and saw Travis swinging a wooden stick fiercely in his direction.
In a flash, Finn’s strong hand grabbed the stick with precision, and his deep, sexy, yet cold voice rang out. “Travis, it’s me.”
“Mr. Barnett?” Travis was taken aback by the stunningly handsome face before him. He had woken up in the middle of the night and heard some commotion outside.
Peering out the window, he saw a man kissing Arya, who seemed reluctant.
He could only see Finn’s back, and he assumed it was Malcolm trying to harass Arya. Without thinking, Travis had grabbed a stick and rushed out.
“Travis, when did you wake up?” Arya was surprised by Travis’s sudden appearance. ‘Did he see everything that just happened?‘ she wondered.
“Just now.” Travis frowned as he looked at the distinguished man standing next to his sister. “Mr. Barnett, what are you doing here so late?”
Is Mr. Barnett seriously sneaking over in the middle of the night to mess with Arya?‘ Travis thought.
Finn didn’t mince words. “I came to sleep with Arya, of course.”
Arya’s brow furrowed in surprise at his candidness. ‘He is so bold,‘ she wondered.
Travis’s handsome face turned a shade paler. “What do you mean?”
“Isn’t it clear?” Finn didn’t seem perturbed by Travis’s reaction. Instead, he wrapped his arm around Arya’s waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Travis’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Finn, have you been harboring ill intentions toward Arya all along?”
“Absolutely,” Finn replied, his deep eyes softening as he looked at Travis’s helpless expression. “From the moment I first laid eyes o.. Arya, I wanted her to have my children.”
