Chapter 260 Removing the Thorn
Ophe gave Finnegan a signal, and Finnegan understood. He instructed the bodyguard to release Tobias.
Finnegan held Ophe's hand, and they left together, followed by the bodyguard.
Linda glanced at Seraphina and followed her.
Having gained his freedom, Tobias noticed that Seraphina was still there, and he wanted to vent his anger on her. However, Seraphina quickly got up and ran, following alongside Tobias.
They left the residential area. Ophe looked at Seraphina behind them and told Linda, "Linda, please take her back."
Linda nodded and said, "No problem."
With that, Linda opened the door of her car and said to Seraphina, "Miss Abbott, get in. I'll give you a ride."
Seraphina glanced at Finnegan and felt a little reluctant.
Finnegan had yet to look at Seraphina once from beginning to end; he fixed on Ophe.
Finnegan and Ophe got in the car, and the driver drove away directly.
Seraphina felt her whole body ache. She was afraid when fighting with Tobias just now, but she summoned up the courage to continue.
Finnegan's car was far away, and Seraphina turned her gaze back and got in Linda's car.
Ophe couldn't find Magnus, and she was very worried. She briefly explained the situation to Finnegan, and then Finnegan realized how serious it was.
Finnegan said, "I'll talk to the TV station and suppress a scandal."
"No need to suppress it." Ophe shook her head. "Now that the incident has happened, it can't be suppressed anymore. Besides, even if you step in and calm the public opinion storm, the internet has a memory. Magnus has been slandered, and
Finnegan looked at her gently and asked, "Do you have a plan?"
Ophe nodded. "To remove the thorn. After this incident, Magnus will see Tobias's true colors and won't be implicated anymore. Actually, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. Instead of letting them gradually feed on Magnus like vampires, it's better to give Magnus one painful blow. Let him make a decisive choice."
Ophe suddenly remembered something Finnegan had said before about letting Magnus discern the goodness and evilness of his family and make a choice in order to start anew.
Hadn't the opportunity come now?
It might be painful for Magnus, but it was better to rip off the bandage quickly than to peel it off slowly.
A smile appeared on Finnegan's lips. "Indeed, it's not a bad thing."
He was fascinated by Ophe's clarity of thought, and Ophe already had a plan. She reacted quickly and knew how to turn disadvantages into advantages.
Ophe frowned and said, "I've clarified the situation with Serenity and recorded the conversation, but that's not enough. We need someone to go to Tobias's hometown. They need to gather more evidence of Tobias selling his children for wealth and fame. Finnegan, I need your help with this."
"No problem," Finnegan replied gently. "I'll send someone to Tobias's hometown right away. Money can make people do a lot of things. These are just small issues. Secrets can't be hidden in the countryside. The surrounding villages must know about Tobias's child-selling."
Ophe nodded. "Exactly. That's what I meant."
"But we also need Riley to step in and Magnus's consent." Finnegan interrupted.
Their mutual understanding touched Ophe. "Yes, that's why we need to let the story ferment on the internet first. Then, we can strike back heavily. It will also soften Riley's heart. As long as Riley comes to me within three days, this matter will be settled."
Finnegan asked casually, "Why did Tobias suddenly provoke Magnus?"
"The house." Ophe sighed. "I gave the house to Magnus, and it exposed Tobias and his family's greedy, heartless, and selfish side. If Magnus is imprisoned, they can take control of the house and force Magnus to transfer or sell it."
Finnegan lightly tapped Ophe's hand with his thumb and said, "Well, the house seems to be the right gift then."
"We can't worry about that now. We need to find Magnus first. He must be at the Hoover Dam," Ophe said. "Whenever Magnus faced a problem before, he always liked to go there alone."
