Chapter 254 Nothing Wrong
Tracy’s body tensed.
She said, “Kathleen and the others captured me.”
“What?” Finn frowned.
“They say they will only release me if you come here. Otherwise, they’ll let Caleb beat me up. Darling,
you cannot leave me to my own devices,” Tracy uttered indignantly.
Fury flashed across Finn’s eyes. “Did I not tell you to stay away from them? What were you thinking?”
“They are too cunning,” Tracy replied sheepishly.
Finn gritted his teeth. “Did you mention anything you’re not supposed to?”
She shook her head fervently. “No, I didn’t. Hurry up and save me, Darling.”
“I got it. You’re so troublesome!” Finn was mad.
Tracy was ashamed by her incompetence as she hung up the phone.
Kathleen stared at Tracy with a poker face.
Is it worth taking such a risk for a man who doesn’t love you?
Tracy appeared to be in a daze.
Charles knew Finn would come later, so he helped Vivian to a seat.
Samuel walked over, dragging Kathleen along as they sat down too.
“Ryan, bring us some beverage,” he said to Ryan.
“All right!” Ryan ordered his subordinate to prepare the drinks.
Soon, someone brought over some fruits and drinks.
That’s very thoughtful.
Kathleen did not eat anything earlier, so her stomach was empty.
She picked up a fork and helped herself to the fruits after the fruit platter was served on the table.
Samuel poured a cup of hot coffee for her and set it aside for the heat to dissipate.
Tracy was left alone and isolated from the others present.
She sat down as well afterward.
A dozen minutes later, Finn entered.
He was slightly astounded after taking in the scene.
Vivian immediately leaped to her feet when she saw him.

A hint of hostility gleamed across Finn’s eyes, but he quickly recollected himself.
He narrowed his eyes and shifted his cold gaze onto Kathleen. “Ms. Johnson, may I bring Tracy away?”
Kathleen looked at him indifferently. “Finn, aren’t you curious why we detained Tracy?”
Finn curled his lips. “Tracy was pampered and spoiled growing up, so she can be quite willful in handling
matters. I apologize in her stead if she offended any of you.”
“Finn!” Caleb gritted his teeth. “To prevent my sister from pestering you, Tracy instructed some men to
taint my sister’s purity, and those animals even took pictures in the process. Do you think that’s a trivial
matter?”
Finn knitted his brows and narrowed his eyes at Tracy.
Tracy’s eyes glinted when Finn entered earlier.
However, his gaze lingered on Kathleen and Vivian but never rested on her, as if she was non-existent.
“You did that?” Finn asked coolly.
She nodded. “Yes, I did that.”
He turned to look at Caleb and uttered apologetically, “This is my first time hearing this. In that case, I am
truly sorry for what happened.”
Caleb’s dark eyes shone with malicious intent.
“Finn.” Vivian bit her lip with tears in her eyes.
Finn said to her in the same regretful tone, “Ms. Lewis, I truly am sorry.”
Vivian was stunned.
Kathleen finished her coffee and stood up.
“Finn, something has been troubling my mind, and I hope you’ll be able to enlighten me on this issue,”
she said coldly.
Samuel narrowed his eyes.
He knew it was about time for Kathleen to make her move.
“Ask away, Ms. Johnson,” Finn smiled slyly.
“In the past, your family members arranged a marriage for you with someone from the Smith family. You
married the woman, but why didn’t you explain the situation to Vivian? Why did you leave without saying
a word?” Kathleen questioned him calmly.
Finn remained silent.
“To the best of my knowledge, you did not break up with her. Instead, you gave her the cold shoulder. Is
that correct?” she asked further.
Finn narrowed his eyes. “I thought she would understand. What else is there to explain if a man decides
to ditch a woman? To be honest, I thought you should know better, Ms. Johnson. After all…”
He glanced at Samuel.
The latter was unfazed by the turns of events.
Kathleen sneered. “I hope you’re not assuming a feeble attempt like that will provoke me.”
“I wouldn’t dare to do so,” Finn said, obviously up to no good.
Kathleen’s expression was gloomy. “In that case, you should end things properly with her right here, right
now.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Kathleen said, “What’s the matter? Are you reluctant to do so? Don’t tell me you still like her.”
Finn answered casually, “How is that possible? My feelings for her have long gone.”
Vivian’s face turned pale.
Finn turned around and stared at Vivian coldly. “I’m sorry for what happened three years ago. I did not
clarify things with you, but I hope you’ll understand. I do not love you anymore.”
Tears welling up in her eyes streamed down her cheeks.
She gazed at him as her heart ached terribly.
“Why is that?” she asked, unwilling to accept that outcome.
“There’s no reason for someone to stop loving another person. I do not like the way you need to clarify
everything in a relationship, Vivian. Don’t you think it is better for a gray and undefined zone to exist in a
relationship? Do you get what I mean?”
Vivian shook her head. “I don’t get it!”
“Let me make myself clear, then. I pursued you because I was lonely during my school days, so I needed
a girl to accompany me. I married Tracy because her family and background are beneficial to me. That’s
all.”
Vivian sobbed, “You’re too cruel.”
“That’s cruel? Isn’t that plain selfishness?” Even Ryan could not bear to listen further.
Finn sneered. “Everyone will always put their own benefit above others. I believe that’s a principle that
everyone could grasp. I’m just chasing after my desires. Is that wrong?”
Kathleen did not expect Finn to be so shameless and despicable.

He had never treated Vivian wholeheartedly. She was nothing more than a plaything to him.
Charles clenched his fists as his eyes turned icy cold.
Kathleen laughed mockingly. “Finn, your words are truly enlightening and have provided me with such
new insights. I was indeed too narrow-minded.”
Finn sensed her sarcastic tone.
He gazed frostily at Tracy. “Why are you still sitting there? Let’s go.”
Tracy slowly stood up.
Kathleen walked up to Caleb and stood behind him.
Tracy strode over to Finn’s side and said indignantly, “I’m sorry.”
“Hmph!”
Finn snorted before turning on his heels.
Kathleen bent down to untie Caleb while saying, “Finn, you’re the most inhumane person I’ve ever met.
You’re worse than a beast.”
Finn stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.
Kathleen tossed away the ropes in her hands.
Caleb got to his feet.
I’m finally free!
“Please mind your manners and show some respect, Ms. Johnson!” Finn was furious.
Kathleen scoffed, “Respect? Does a sc*m like you deserve that?”
He glowered at her.
Kathleen stepped forward. “Finn, how dare you act so righteously when you’ve committed the
wrongdoing but let a woman take the blame for you?”
Finn’s expression changed drastically.
Everyone was shocked.
Caleb was taken aback. “What did you say?”
“No, I did that. Finn has nothing to do with this matter!” Tracy suddenly became very agitated.
“Tracy, there is nothing wrong with you loving someone, but do you know what you’re doing right now is
no different from holding a candle to the devil?” Kathleen said emotionlessly.
Tracy fell into a daze. “No, I don’t know. Anyway, this has nothing to do with Finn. That’s the truth!”
“Pull yourself together. This man will not fall for you simply because you take the blame for him. On the
contrary, he’s desperately hoping you’ll be imprisoned or even be murdered by Caleb because of this
matter,” Kathleen uttered sarcastically.
