“Why are they there?”
“What shall we do? Should we head there?”
The James family’s faces were all sour. They had no clue what to do, but there was only one solution to their problem—go to the ancestral shrine at the old residence.
As such, the entire James family set off.
…
The James family’s ancestral shrine.
Finn Taylor’s family of four was relaxed as they sat there in the sun.
“Mom, don’t say a thing when they turn up later.” Yvette Larson instructed her mom, who merely nodded.
.
To be honest, she was extremely curious what Finn Taylor was going to do to the rest, but she remained silent.
Before long, a few cars arrived at the James family’s old residence.
More than a dozen people got out of the cars one after another—the James family had arrived.
They headed straight for the ancestral shrine.
As for Finn Taylor’s family, they sat up straight in their chairs. Even when faced with more than a dozen people, the family didn’t back down.
“Linda James, you’ve gotten so bold. How dare you hang up on Mom?” Henry James lashed out the moment he arrived.
“Oh, Mom? How nice. Let me ask on my mother-in-law’s behalf then. Do you really think of Linda James as your daughter and Yvette Larson as your granddaughter?”
Finn Taylor’s straightforwardness stunned Lucy Williams. Nevertheless, she answered, “Of course. No matter what, Linda will always be my daughter, and Yvette will always be my granddaughter.”
“Good. Since you think so, how do you think we should deal with the people who tried to kidnap your daughter and granddaughter?”
Lucy Williams naturally knew full well who her grandson-in-law was talking about—Karine James and Weston Shaw.
If they were talking about anyone else, the old lady would’ve demanded harsh punishment. However, she couldn’t afford to say so now.
“We have to see why they did that in the first place.”
“Why? Alright, why don’t you analyze it for me? Why do you think Karine James and Weston Shaw got someone to teach your daughter and granddaughter a lesson?”
The old lady had never expected Finn Taylor to be this straightforward. This put her in a tough spot.
“Sigh, we’re a family. Finn Taylor, why don’t you let them go first? I’ll definitely teach them a lesson on Yvette’s behalf.” With no other choice, the old lady could only use this strategy.
“Let them go? Well, haven’t they told you that I’d let them go on certain terms? Hehe!”
Perhaps it was because he felt emboldened by his mother’s presence that Henry James lashed out. “Finn Taylor, don’t test our limits. Are you really not letting them go? You’re asking for 150,000 a day. Where am I supposed to get that money?”
“Oh, how much do you have then?”
Henry James sighed in exasperation. “100,000.”
“Alright, press on. You’re only short of 50,000. Can’t you fork out some money, old lady?”
The old lady was full of disbelief as she glared at Finn Taylor. “Are you trying to drive me to my grave? Why don’t you just kill me? I don’t want to live anymore.”
Finn Taylor casually whipped out a dagger, and he placed it in front of the old lady. “If you take your own life, I’ll let them go.”
His words drained the old lady’s face of all color.
Death!
She naturally didn’t want to die. It would be such a pity to die for those unfilial grandchildren of hers!
“Finn Taylor, I’m still Linda James’s mother and Yvette Larson’s grandma no matter what. Can’t you let them go on that account?”
Silence!
There was pin-drop silence.
Finn Taylor stood up and turned around. Then, he turned to the ancestral shrine. “Fine, I’ll let them go on account of the ancestors here.”
Hearing his words, Henry James and Karen James were overwhelmed with emotions.
This was the first time Finn Taylor was compromising. It seemed like there was hope of Karine James and Weston Shaw being released.
“Old lady, I’m only agreeing to let them go on account of the James family’s ancestors. But tell me, how do you plan on atoning for your sins now that you’ve raised such unfilial dogs in your family?”
The old lady was dumbfounded. ‘Finn Taylor is still demanding a solution.’
Lucy Williams glared at her children.
The pair looked terrible.
Henry James bowed toward Yvette Larson. “Yvette, it’s my fault for not raising Karine well.”
Karen James bowed as well, but she didn’t say anything.
Finn Taylor shut his eyes and remained silent.
The atmosphere was stiff.
The old lady understood that Finn Taylor was displeased with their insincerity.
“Kneel down!” Although the old lady couldn’t bear for her children to do so, she had no other choice.
Henry James’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “Mom, I’m his elder. Why should I kneel down to him?”
Slap!
The old lady slapped her son viciously in the face. “You’ve spoiled your daughter rotten—it’s all your fault. I’m asking you to kneel down. How dare you question me?”
Helpless, Henry James bent his knees slightly until he fell on his knees. With that, his dignity had completely been trampled on.
The old lady glanced at Finn Taylor, begging with her gaze.
“That’s not enough!” He spat out with disinterest.
The old lady kicked Karen James, but the latter was indignant. She didn’t want to admit defeat to her sister’s family.
Yet, she couldn’t afford to remain stubborn for the sake of her son’s safety. In the end, she, too, kneeled down.
“That’s not enough!” Finn Taylor didn’t change his stance.
Lucy Williams’s expression hardened. ‘Henry is kneeling, and so is Karen. They’ve cast aside their dignity to kneel down to Finn Taylor’s family. What more does he want?’
The old lady eventually ordered, “Kneel down, all of you!”
Serene Edwards, Larry Shaw, and the others all fell to their knees.
Francis Larson nearly fell off his chair. ‘Over the past few decades, the James family has always looked down on our family. Although they weren’t as harsh as they had been toward Finn Taylor, I know full well that they look down on my family. The younger ones have never treated me respectfully before, yet all those who looked down on him are now kneeling before me today!’
‘Henry James, Karen James, Serene Edwards, Larry Shaw, didn’t you all think very highly of yourselves? You’re still kneeling before me today.’
To be honest, it wasn’t just Francis Larson who felt overwhelmed. Even his wife felt the same way.
She was the eldest in the family, but they had never treated her with respect. In fact, they hadn’t even bothered to inform her about their mom’s birthday celebrations.
They didn’t think of her as their elder sister at all.
But today, Finn Taylor had gotten back at all of them on her behalf!
Yvette Larson grasped her husband’s hands tightly, and all eyes shot toward the latter.
Finn Taylor finally opened his eyes. His gaze was locked on the old lady—Lucy Williams. “It’s still not enough.”
