Chapter 71 He Is My Boyfriend

“Oh, so its a gift from Mr. Miles. You’re incredible. Finnegan.”

On the way to the hotel. Bernice had asked Finnegan about the origin of the member card. When she learned the

truth, her eyes sparkled with admiration.

Miles Group had various types of membership cards. However, the only card she knew that allowed its holder to

access all businesses under Miles Group for free belonged to Finnegan.

Cindy, who had failed to embarrass Finnegan, said coldly. “What a shame! If I were you. I’d never use that card.

Because if I don’t, it means Mr. Miles will keep owing me a favor. What a waste of opportunity.”

“Can you be a little less mean, Cin?” Bernice piped up. What is wrong with her today? She’s usually supportive of

me, so why is she acting like this all of a sudden?

Finnegan turned to Cindy with a smile. “We humans can’t count on other people to live our lives. In the end, we

need to rely on ourselves and be independent. Only a loser will hope for others to owe them a favor. You’re almost

thirty years old, Cin. How have you still not grasped this simple concept?”

Cindy grimaced, having been scolded.

He had indirectly criticized her for relying on her relationship with Bernice and called her an immature old woman.

Finnegan didn’t give Cindy a chance to retort as he promptly held Bernice’s hand and whispered to her.

Cindy was infuriated that she couldn’t say anything. That b*stard and his stupid act! One must always rely on

toealth, resources, and connections to succeed in this society!

She believed that, despite his medical skills, he still needed to be given a chance by the rich and powerful to be able

to treat them.

Unbeknownst to her, people usually did have to wait in line to be treated by Finnegan.

By the time they arrived at Grand View Hotel, the sky was already dark.

Finnegan and Bernice maintained their distance as they hadn’t announced their relationship yet. If they held hands,

people would gossip about them behind their backs.

Bernice’s father and uncle were welcoming the guests at the entrance.

Upon spotting them, Bernice greeted, “Dad! Uncle Bishop!”

Patrick similed. “I see you’re here with Finnegan, Bernice.”

Finnegan nodded. “Hello, Mr. Patrick.”

Bishop merely glanced at Finnegan before greeting Cindy politely. “Please settle inside with Bernice first, Ms. Zalder.

The others from the company have already arrived.”

“All right, Mr. Zimmerman,” Cindy replied.

Finnegan and the others didn’t stick around at the entrance to avoid blocking other guests from entering.

After entering the elevator, Finnegan asked, “Are your father and uncle your grandmother’s sons, Bernie?”

Bernice was puzzled. “Why are you asking that? My grandpa was only married once, so of course they are both my

grandma’s children.”

“Does your uncle’s family also only has a daughter like your family?”

Bernice was baffled by his questions, but she still answered, “My uncle has two children, a son and a daughter. Also,

he married young, so both of his children are older than me. What’s wrong?

Finnegan’s lips twitched.

When he casually glanced at Patrick and Bishop, he had thought they seemed like brothers born from different

mothers or fathers.

Additionally, Bishop appeared to be someone who’d only have daughters. He wondered how Bishop had a son.

Finnegan couldn’t help but ponder what was happening in the Zimmerman family.

He practiced the art of face reading from Primordial Pharmacopoeia. He was confident that, unless he was

involved, his judgment was correct.

Seeing that Finnegan suddenly went silent, Bernice asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Finnegan didn’t want to share his thoughts because it wasn’t his family matter.

Bernice glanced at him suspiciously, but she didn’t question further. “I’ll bring you to Grandpa after we arrive so we

can greet him. If my grandma says anything… unpleasant, don’t take it to heart.”

Before their departure, Finnegan had already prepared himself for any insults.

He nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll put up with whoever’s being difficult today. I won’t put you in a difficult

spot.”

Cindy sneered at that. Even if you can’t put up with it, you still have to!

The banquet wouldn’t start until half past seven.

Once they arrived at the banquet hall, Cindy went to chat with the people from the company, while Bernice brought

Finnegan to the reception room in the back of the hall.

Over a dozen people of different ages were inside the room.

“Bernie’s here!” someone exclaimed when they spotted her.

Bernice nodded in response and whispered into Finnegan’s ear, “Next to my grandpa is my grandma, and next to

my mom is my aunt. To the left of my aunt are my cousins, Queenie and Timothy. The rest of them are the

grandchildren of my grandfather’s brothers!”

Bruce’s smile faded the moment he noticed Bernice entered the room with Finnegan, and he scowled when Bernice

was whispering to Finnegan.

Millicent Gamsay, Bernice’s grandmother, was even more displeased by that sight. She slammed her hand on the

table. “Where are your manners, Bernie?”

Following that, Bernice’s aunt, Sapphire Cook, added, “You’re the daughter of the Zimmerman family and the CEO

of Firebird Group, Bernie. There’ll be rumors if you get. too close to a man. Also, why did you bring an outsider

here? Only family members are allowed in this room.”

Bernice knitted her eyebrows because her fears were confirmed.

Before she could say anything, Bruce said, “You’re welcome to my birthday banquet. Finnegan. However, only the

Zimmerman family members are permitted here. As an outsider, you should wait at the banquet hall.”

Millicent scrutinized Finnegan with disdain. “So, you’re the one who saved Bernie twice, but that doesn’t mean you

can come here. Get out!”

frowned. He didn’t expect their reaction to be more hostile than he had

Finnegan anticipated.

At that moment, he read something from Millicent’s countenance. She has the face of someone who will only have

one son! Does that mean Patrick and Bishop are brothers from different mothers?

Just as he wondered about the Zimmerman family’s story, Jennifer stood up. “Mom, Dad, Finnegan is Bernie’s

savior. Right now, she-”

interrupted rudely. Then, she turned to Finnegan and ordered impolitely, “Out, now!”

Bruce expressed his agreement with his silence.

Not wanting to give Bernice a hard time, Finnegan sighed inwardly and prepared to head

OUL.

“You don’t need to leave, Finnegan!” Bernice promptly grabbed his arm, displaying an assertiveness he had never

seen before. “Because if we’re only permitting people we’re close to stay, then more than half the people here

need to leave!”

Once again, Millicent pounded the table and rose to her feet. “What are you doing, Bernice? Release him

immediately!”

Instead of following her grandmother’s command, she wrapped her arms tighter around. Finnegan’s. “I didn’t bring

Finnegan here today for you all to mock him! He’s here today. because I want to let you all know that I’m in love

and Finnegan is my boyfriend!”
