Chapter 153: Queen Felicity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yvette Larson and her father both knew that trying to reason with Linda James was futile. As such, neither of them wanted to speak to her, much less Finn Taylor.

This meant that Linda James went on a monologue for a long time while the others ignored her.

…

Yvette Larson couldn’t understand why she felt a sense of longing after her husband had left. ‘I should be utterly disappointed in this man, but there’s been only one thought in my mind since he disappeared from my sight: I miss him!’

Finn Taylor had followed Megan Daimler back to Chicago, not Maximus Brugel. Naturally, this meant that he headed to the American Chess Association with the latter upon reaching Chicago.

There, he spotted Jessica Daimler, who was grateful that the former had agreed to represent their country in the competition.

Then, they exchanged their contact numbers, and Jessica Daimler told him that she would inform him of the details closer to the date.

Finn Taylor left the association and arrived in front of a company named ‘Felicity.’

“Ask Felicity Rouge to come and meet me,” Finn Taylor told the receptionist the moment he arrived.

In an instant, the whole lobby fell into silence.

Felicity Rouge was the company’s boss and was known as Queen Felicity in Chicago.

‘How dare this young man call Queen Felicity by her name and even ask her to meet him? He’s so disrespectful. Does he have a death wish?’

“Kick him out.” The receptionist could tell that Finn Taylor was dressed plainly. ‘Someone like this is obviously a vagrant at the very lowest ranks of society. ‘How can someone like him ask to meet Queen Felicity? If Queen Felicity finds out about this, we’ll be dead! It’s best to just kick him out now.’

Seeing that they were about to get violent with him, Finn Taylor couldn’t help but sneer. “Are you sure you want to beat me up?”

The receptionist laughed. “What, can’t I? Are you Queen Felicity’s husband or her boyfriend?”

Finn Taylor shook his head and answered earnestly, “I’m her father.”

‘Bullsh*t!’

Queen Felicity was idolized by everyone in the company. It naturally sounded as though Finn Taylor was insulting her, so nobody could hold themselves back anymore.

A few security officers quickly rushed up, wanting to beat Finn Taylor up.

“What’s all this fuss about?” The elevator doors opened just then, and they heard a voice.

When they heard that voice, their faces blushed, and they backed down in fear.

It was none other than Queen Felicity—she wasn’t someone to be trifled with. She was definitely a vicious character within Chicago’s business circle.

In the short span of three years, she had risen up from an insignificant character to being able to stand on the same level as the city’s top-tier families. Of course, she had used underhanded and vicious methods to get to where she was.

Nobody even knew how many people had died in her hands. Everyone knew only one thing: Don’t provoke Queen Felicity.

All they could do now was hope that she wouldn’t get mad.

“You’re such a big shot now. I’m about to get thrown out just for asking to meet you.” Finn Taylor—who was surrounded—finally spoke up.

The moment he did so, everyone’s hearts fell. ‘If he offends Queen Felicity, we might very well get dragged into it as well.’

Yet, Queen Felicity didn’t flare up. Her face was filled with panic, and she rushed over, pushing everyone aside.

Then, she looked closely at Finn Taylor. “Mr. Taylor, you’re back?”

“Oh, am I not welcome here?”

Finn Taylor’s reply scared Queen Felicity stiff. “Of course not. You’re always welcome here.”

Three years ago, Queen Felicity had been nothing more than a hostess at a nightclub. It was then that Finn Taylor had spotted her. He told her that he was about to establish a company in Chicago and needed a spokesperson, and she was his top choice.

At that time, she had thought that Finn Taylor was mad. However, he had used only ten days to kill every single one of those who had once humiliated her.

Even after three years, those images were still fresh in her mind. From then on, she became Finn Taylor’s spokesperson.

Felicity Incorporated was now one of the largest companies in all of Chicago, but Queen Felicity knew full well that it was all thanks to Finn Taylor’s support that she had come so far.

‘Without him, I would’ve been dead a long time ago. How dare my subordinates offend him today?’ She was in a frenzy.

Thud!

Queen Felicity fell onto her knees in front of Finn Taylor, not caring about her own dignity. “Mr. Taylor, I’ve been loyal to you and have been protecting this company for you.”

“Good! Good! Good!” Finn Taylor seemingly praised her and continued, “Here! I’ll reward you with some burgers made from offal.”

With that, someone brought a box in.

Finn Taylor opened it—inside was a burger made from offal.

It was a revolting sight.

Everyone’s faces were tense as they looked at Queen Felicity, wondering if she would actually eat it. ‘Queen Felicity is a powerful lady who has the whole company under her command. Would she really be afraid of this young man?’

‘Queen Felicity is going to explode. This young man is done for.’

Queen Felicity stared at that burger, caught in a dilemma as she wondered whether to eat it. She considered her options: ‘If I eat it, I might die. But if I don’t, I’ll surely die.’

Without any hesitation, Queen Felicity picked up the burger and stuffed it into her mouth, clearing the entire box.

Finn Taylor was pleased with what he saw.

Three years ago, he had already predicted that the Taylor family would chase him out of Chicago. However, he was sure that he would eventually return. This was why he had set up a company and kept some of his men here.

But now that three long years had passed, he wasn’t sure if these people would still remain loyal to him. As such, he had to test them one by one.

Queen Felicity’s performance pleased Finn Taylor. “Not bad. It was a normal burger; you passed my test.”

“Ah!” Queen Felicity let out a huge sigh of relief as she collapsed onto the ground. ‘As expected, I made the right choice. Thank god I ate that burger; otherwise, I’d be a corpse by now.’

Finn Taylor headed to Queen Felicity’s office, where she took out the company’s reports for him. However, he waved her off. “You don’t have to let me see them. I know all about the company’s financials, including whatever you’ve taken for yourself. You’re still alive because what you’ve taken is still within my permissible limits.”

In an instant, Queen Felicity’s back was drenched in sweat.
