Chapter 201: Cooking Up Stories
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Finn Taylor had bought too many things for them to carry. Besides, given Henry James’s attitude, they probably wouldn’t be able to stay in their house anymore.
After giving it some thought, Finn Taylor made a call to Chloe Yeats. “Do you have a spare house?”
“Yes, do you need one? I’ll get someone to clean it up.”
“Oh right, I bought everything in your boutique just now. Get someone to send the things over.”
“Everything?” Chloe Yeats was in a state of shock. ‘What’s going on? Why is he giving me money?’
“Er, did my shop assistants do something?” Chloe Yeats was slightly afraid that a foolish shop assistant mocked Finn Taylor for being unable to afford a bag. However, she had always taught them to respect every customer and not look down on anyone.
.
“No, it has nothing to do with them. I just have some idiotic relatives.”
“Do you need my help?”
“No, you don’t have to deal with Nathan Yeats either. I have my own plans for him.”
Because of Finn Taylor’s command, Chloe Yeats quickly ordered more than a hundred cars over to pick the former’s shopping bags up.
As for Finn Taylor’s family, they were headed for Henry James’s house in a Bentley.
But Linda James’s family was really at a loss for words at how shameless Henry James’s family was. They were still family, and Linda James was Henry James’s elder sister after all. Yet, Henry James had thrown all of their luggage outside the gate.
Just as the chauffeur was picking up their things, Karine James walked out. “What are you doing here? Do you still want to stay here? Scram! Our family doesn’t welcome you!”
Finn Taylor patted the car and smiled. “You’re wrong. We’re here to tell you that we’ve gotten a Bentley too. Look, it’s even more expensive than yours.”
Karine James had already faced quite a heavy blow today, and now, Finn Taylor was even getting at her with a Bentley. More importantly, his car was better than hers!
Karine James could no longer hold it in. She slammed the door shut.
After picking up their luggage, the family headed for Chloe Yeats’s villa.
“Finn, where are we going?”
“I have a friend in Los Angeles who has a spare house. She’s letting us stay in it for a few days.”
Yvette Larson already had a good idea of who that friend was, but she wasn’t going to be petty about it. After enduring trials and tribulations, she was sure that Finn Taylor was loyal to her.
It was normal for him to have some female friends after all. It would be even more bizarre for him not to have any.
Yvette Larson’s family thought that the spare house Finn Taylor was talking about was a two-bedroom apartment, but the car rolled to a stop in front of a villa.
As soon as they arrived, the automatic door rolled open.
As Finn Taylor walked in, a besuited middle-aged man walked out of the villa. He bowed toward the family. “Hello, Mr. Taylor. I’m the butler of this villa. Please let me know if you have any requests while you’re here.”
Finn Taylor nodded and handed him a cigarette. “What’s your name?”
The butler received it but didn’t light it. “You can call me Seth.”
“Alright, Seth.”
Many security officers then walked out of the villa to carry Finn Taylor’s things in. After all, Finn Taylor had bought everything in the boutique.
Yvette Larson couldn’t help but sigh as she glanced at those bags. “Why did you have to do that? All she wanted was to show off. We could’ve just let her.”
Finn Taylor shrugged indifferently. ‘I only spent two million. Even if I did this every day, I wouldn’t even finish spending all my money in this lifetime. There’s no need to worry about such a trivial matter.’
…
At that very moment, Karine James was fuming. She shoved everything to the ground.
Then, she turned to her father. “Dad, I don’t want to see Yvette Larson’s family. I want them out of Los Angeles!”
Henry James hated Yvette Larson’s family, but he didn’t have the ability to chase them out of Los Angeles.
“Then, can you prevent them from attending Grandma’s birthday celebrations?”
Henry James gave it some thought. “That will be difficult too. Linda is Mom’s daughter after all, so it won’t be right for her not to show up.”
All of a sudden, Karine James said, “Oh right, I’ll tell Second Auntie that we won’t celebrate Grandma’s birthday at home this year. We’ll find a restaurant, and none of us will be here when Yvette Larson’s family comes over.”
Henry James knew he couldn’t win an argument against his daughter and had no choice but to agree.
Immediately, Karine James picked up her phone and dialed Weston Shaw’s number. “Weston, Yvette is in Los Angeles.”
Weston Shaw was agitated the moment he heard that name. “What? She’s in Los Angeles?”
Although Weston Shaw had never intended to return that sum of money, he couldn’t help but feel anxious now that they were here.
“I know that you don’t want to see her either, right? I’m planning on bringing everyone out to a restaurant for Grandma’s birthday celebrations. We’ll make Yvette Larson’s family miss out on it. I’ll tell Grandma that their family didn’t even come to Los Angeles, but I need your cooperation.”
Weston Shaw contemplated for a moment before saying, “Alright, but what if Grandma calls them?”
“That isn’t a big problem. We’ll just have to step in and take Grandma’s phone away so they won’t be able to call.”
Weston Shaw gave it more thought. ‘Anyway, Karine James is the mastermind behind this. I won’t have to do anything but put on an act.’
As such, he agreed.
A day before their grandmother’s birthday, Karine James’s family and Weston Shaw’s family arrived at their grandma’s house. They told her about their plans to bring her out to a restaurant.
Their grandma—Lucy Williams—couldn’t help but ask, “What about Linda? Is her family not coming?”
Hearing her grandma’s words, Karine James acted as though she was upset. “Grandma, did you know? I called Yvette, but she said that we’re just country bumpkins. She’s made a name for herself in San Francisco, and she’s too good for us now. She even said that it was a waste of time to attend your birthday celebrations because she could earn millions from a meeting with a CEO instead!”
Karine James couldn’t help but lash out. “That darned Yvette Larson! She’s such an ingrate! Has she forgotten about how good Grandma has been to her? How could she say that Grandma can’t even compare to her business partners?”
