The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 42

At the entrance, Winston walked in with Wynter's help, followed by Yahir and the others.

Meanwhile, Ximena's face glowed with pride. Winston gracing her engagement banquet was the icing on the cake for what was probably the most glorious moment of her life.

“Stop, don't move yet!” Xavier barked.

Carrying out his mother's instructions, he came forward and grabbed Finnegan's arm.

As an icy glint flashed across his eyes, Finnegan gave his arm a shake, unleashing a powerful yet unseen force. The sudden numbness in his hand forced Xavier to let go and caused him to stagger backward.

He consequently lost his balance when he bumped into a table right behind him.

Just as he was about to crash onto the ground, he reached out by reflex to grab something. Little did he expect it to be the corner of the tablecloth.

Not only did he fail to stabilize himself, but he also pulled down all the glassware and plates from the table.

The loud crash interrupted the joyous atmosphere of the occasion.

Amidst the sudden silence that ensued, everyone turned around to look.

As Raymond's and his wife's faces lost all color, Qahira's lips quivered. “Oh, no!”

The moment Ximena saw that her brother was the cause of the commotion, her expression froze immediately with tears welling up in her eyes.

As for Finnegan, he continued to push Desmond forward as if he had nothing to do with it at all.

The sight of Finnegan brought a glow to Winston's and Wynter's faces. Both of them didn't seem surprised by the turn of events.

They had already investigated Finnegan's background, and that was the reason they decided to attend the engagement banquet. Winston had wanted to leverage the engagement banquet of his grandnephew to improve his relationship with Finnegan.

“What's your family doing?”

The sight of Finnegan and his family combined with Xavier's embarrassing behavior caused Yahir to lose his temper before he had a chance to greet Winston. “Just as expected, all of you are a disgrace!”

Ximena frantically explained, “Dad, there has to be some misunderstanding, as my brother would never act recklessly.”

“Don't call me Dad! You and Yosef aren't even engaged yet!”

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Raymond and his wife came forward. “Mr. Haimowitz, this is a misunderstanding. My son didn't do it on purpose.”

Xavier, who had been cut by the broken glass shards, ignore the pain as he scrambled up to explain, “Mr. Haimowitz, it was an accident.” As a thought struck him, Xavier pointed at Finnegan. “I bumped into the table because I was pushed by him.”

Qahira jumped in to support her son. “That's right. Finnegan pushed Xavier out of jealousy because we are becoming the Haimowitz family's in-laws.”

Ximena snapped, “Finnegan, I invited you to my engagement banquet on the account that you're family. Why do you have to do this? Are you that petty and can't even bless me?”

Given the sudden turn of events, they had no choice but to shift the blame onto Finnegan.

Otherwise, their dream of ingratiating themselves with a prominent family would be shattered if either Yahir or Winston became upset with them.

Qahira was certain that Finnegan did it on purpose, so she stared daggers at him.

Otherwise, why would he claim that there's no reason for the engagement banquet to continue?

At that moment, Qahira regretted inviting Finnegan and his family. All these wouldn't have happened if she hadn't done so. Cr*p! I just want to flaunt the wealthy lifestyle that is awaiting me.
