Chapter 178: Looking Forward to Drinking with You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The one sitting next to Finn Taylor looked rather old, but Frank Lucas paid that man no heed. He had just learned of that man’s name—Andre Cavill.
This wasn’t just any other man; he was getting popular in San Francisco too.
‘Gentle Breeze’ was located in a prime location. Opening in such a prime location would definitely draw the ire of others.
In fact, over a hundred people had come to stir up trouble over the past few days. Rumor had it that the bar’s boss—Andre Cavill—had dealt with those hundreds of people alone!
From then on, nobody dared to kick up a fuss at ‘Gentle Breeze’ anymore. But never had it crossed Frank Lucas’s mind that even Andre Cavill knew Finn Taylor.
In fact, they were even drinking together! This could only mean that they shared a close relationship.
Finn Taylor’s tone sounded much more like he was giving a command.
‘It seems like the matter regarding Finn Taylor’s identity is getting more complex.’ Frank Lucas hated Kelly Jensen’s guts now. ‘You b*tch! You’ve ruined my life! If Finn Taylor pursues this matter, my family might very well be dragged down too!’
At the same time, Aaron Jensen was in his office. It had been a long time since he’d been back, but he had decided to return because of his granddaughter’s incident.
The first thing he did upon returning was to remove Kelly Jensen from all of her positions.
Although she had never worked a single day in her life, she still had titles and positions in the company. This was simply for Aaron Jensen to give his precious granddaughter some pocket money. But his granddaughter had now committed such a grave mistake, so Aaron Jensen had to let her know just how serious this mistake was.
Just then, his phone rang—it was an unknown caller.
He was slightly annoyed and didn’t mean to pick it up, but the stress had gotten to him, and he accidentally picked up the call instead.
“Aaron Jensen, right? Come over to Gentle Breeze Bar. Your granddaughter is here.”
‘Bar? Granddaughter?’ Aaron Jensen was stumped. ‘Has this guy dialed the wrong number?’
But just then, the caller on the other end added, “Mr. Taylor is only giving you ten minutes.”
‘Mr. Taylor?’ Aaron Jensen’s first thought was Finn Taylor. ‘Why is Kelly Jensen getting involved with him again? Is Finn Taylor trying to get back at her now?’
Aaron Jensen was about to ask more, but the other had already hung up.
He was left with no other choice. Because he had only ten minutes, Aaron Jensen dared not waste any more time and quickly rushed over.
Within the private room, Kelly Jensen was still indifferent. “Finn Taylor, why are you looking at me? I wasn’t the one who smashed your car, so what’s the point in saying that to me?”
Finn Taylor chuckled. ‘It’s true that Kelly Jensen isn’t the culprit. At the very most, she is an accomplice. Nothing will happen to her even if I want to pursue the matter, but her mistake was in trying to go against me.’
‘She had purposely said those words upon entering the room to misdirect Frank Lucas so that he would think that I’m nothing but a piece of trash. This had led to the situation intensifying. To be honest, she’s the root of this whole problem.’
“Oh, I remember now. You’re the b*tch who deliberately misled me. Do you really think that you won’t have to take any responsibility at all for the car? F*ck! If you weren’t there egging me on, I wouldn’t have smashed the car. It’s all your fault!” Frank Lucas had offended Finn Taylor because of Kelly Jensen. Along with that, he had offended Andre Cavill, the Sullivan family of New York, and the Gold family all at once.
There was no way he could bear such a huge responsibility.
He hated Kelly Jensen to the core and how he wished he could kill her right there and then.
The moment Aaron Jensen walked into the private room, he spotted Frank Lucas landing a blow on his granddaughter’s face. Although he knew that his granddaughter had committed a grave mistake, she was still his granddaughter after all.
His heart ached for her, and he shoved Frank Lucas away. “What are you doing? Why are you hitting my granddaughter?”
“Hitting your granddaughter? I’m going to kill her! Your granddaughter is really impressive. She offended Mr. Taylor, the Sullivan family of New York, the Gold family, Andre Cavill…”
Hearing the long list of people his granddaughter had offended, Aaron Jensen was filled with regret. ‘I clearly grounded her for an entire week, so why couldn’t she reflect on her mistakes? Great! She has completely ruined the entire Jensen family now! If I had known that this was going to happen, I would’ve grounded her forever.’
Aaron Jensen couldn’t help but feel mentally exhausted. “Mr. Taylor, I’ll kowtow as my apology to you.”
Finn Taylor stood up without sparing him a glance. He wasn’t at all interested in receiving kowtows.
“Frank Lucas, if you want to live, I’ll give you a week’s time to make the Jensen family bankrupt.” Finn Taylor spoke coolly as he walked toward the door.
Frank Lucas was overwhelmed with emotions. He had thought that he was doomed, yet he had gotten another chance at life at the very last minute.
Frank Lucas kowtowed repeatedly, swearing allegiance to Finn Taylor and promising that he would definitely do as the latter said.
As Hunter Sullivan followed his boss out, he asked, “Do you need me to step in?”
Finn Taylor shook his head. “No need. It’s time to train some subordinates; you can’t always do things yourself.”
Finn Taylor had said that to Hunter Sullivan in front of everyone else.
Before walking out, Andre Cavill even patted Frank Lucas on the shoulder. “Do your best. I hope that we’ll have another chance to drink together in a week’s time.”
Frank Lucas was still in a daze. ‘What does Andre Cavill mean by that? ‘
That could only mean that Andre Cavill was already part of Peregrine Hall—he held an extraordinary status now.
Of course, there was nobody who felt more despair than Aaron Jensen at that moment. He could already see how everything was going to play out. ‘The Jensen family is done for, and the cause of this was my own indecisiveness in regards to restraining my granddaughter.’
With no car, Finn Taylor decided to walk home.
He hadn’t walked far before someone appeared beside him—Tania Kennedy. She was the niece of his mother and also his cousin.
“Long time no see, Finn.”
Finn Taylor wasn’t very close to Tania Kennedy. Every time she visited his family, she would only play with Donovan Taylor.
Never once had she ever bothered about him, but she had now taken the initiative to approach him!
Of course, Finn Taylor was no longer going to bear grudges over past events. He had already put the past behind him.
“Why are you ignoring me? I came all the way here to look for you!”
Finn Taylor pointed at a cafe.. “I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee.”
