“Jamie Little, the photoshoot you’ve done for us was pretty good. I can tell that you’ve been trained in martial arts from the way you stand. Protect Yvette, and I’ll make sure you’ll never lack for anything once we return to San Francisco,” Finn Taylor said in a serious tone as he turned toward Jamie Little.
The latter could sense his sincerity through his eyes. She had initially been considering becoming his mistress to enjoy riches she could only dream of. But now, it was clear from Finn Taylor’s gaze that her dreams would never come true.
But even if she didn’t become Finn Taylor’s mistress, she’d still benefit from him as long as she protected Yvette Larson well.
As such, she firmly nodded her head. “Don’t worry. Leave this to me.”
Finn Taylor could similarly see the sincerity in Jamie Little’s eyes, which showed that the latter was prepared to risk her life to protect his wife.
He finally felt more at ease. After giving his wife some instructions, Finn Taylor headed out.
He was naturally headed for the Money family’s residence, but he didn’t head there alone—he was sitting in Liam Gillies’s car.
Even up until now, Finn Taylor still believed that Liam Gillies was on his side. How was he to know that the latter had already betrayed him a long time ago and that his life was in danger at the present moment?
“Mr. Taylor, this is the Money family’s residence.” The car rolled to a stop in front of a large garden, and Liam Gillies pointed at it while introducing it to Finn Taylor.
“Mm.” Finn Taylor nodded, got out of the car, and headed toward the main building.
As Liam Gillies walked behind, his eyes were filled with malice.
The moment Finn Taylor walked into the house, he spotted two men there—a young man and an old man.
Finn Taylor had already met the young man earlier—he was Terry Money.
It didn’t take much for Finn Taylor to guess that the elder one would be the head of the Money family—Henry Money.
“Finn Taylor!” Terry Money was evidently agitated and couldn’t wait to take Finn Taylor down, but he was stopped by his father.
“What are you doing? You should be more polite to our guests. Get some wine over.”
Of course, Terry Money didn’t dare to go against his father. He had no other choice but to forget about beating the other up for now and grab some wine as his father had instructed.
Finn Taylor didn’t seem afraid of the pair either and sat right in front of the old man.
“Mr. Taylor, where are you from? I heard that you got into a little conflict with Terry. Since we’re sitting together today, why don’t we have a drink and forget about what happened?”
Finn Taylor knew that the other was trying to guess his identity and background. ‘Identity and background? Hehe, me? I’m from the Taylor family of Chicago, and I’m Master Peregrine of Peregrine Hall. Forget that I used to scare Liam Gillies—it seems pointless to reveal my identity to this family.’
Thus, he remained silent.
Very quickly, Terry Money brought the wine over and personally poured Finn Taylor a glass as though he was apologizing for his mistake.
Yet, there was no way Finn Taylor would forgive the other this easily. “Well, it wasn’t a huge matter, but it wasn’t a trivial one either. I’m here on Cupid Island to take some wedding photos, and I chanced upon the Gillies family’s auction house, so I bought ‘Eternal Love’ for my wife. I didn’t force them to sell it to me. I paid for it with my own money, but your son thinks of me as his enemy because of that. I’m not one to take bullying lying down. I’ll let this matter go if your son compensates me for it. What do you think?”
Finn Taylor didn’t care much for compensation given his status, but the Money family had their pride. As the top family on Cupid Island, apologizing on their own turf would be no different from crushing their own reputation.
“Finn Taylor, don’t test your luck. We’re not the ones who have to apologize to you. You’re the one who has a death wish by coming to our house alone.” Terry Money clapped, and with that, more than a dozen men in black rushed in.
Finn Taylor sneered inwardly. ‘Do these people really think that they can defeat me?’
But just then, he felt a little dizzy. ‘Something is wrong. I’ve been drugged, but nothing was wrong with that wine. I checked it, but it wasn’t drugged. Why do I suddenly feel so dizzy?’
Just then, Finn Taylor heard Liam Gillies laugh.
“You…” He suddenly remembered eating an orange in Liam Gillies’s car.
The temperature in the car had been high, and the air had been dry, making him thirsty. It just so happened that there had been a few oranges placed beside him, so he took one for himself.
‘This was a set-up. There was nothing wrong with the wine—it was the orange!’ Finn Taylor had never in his life imagined that it would be Liam Gillies who would bring him down. “You…”
The latter didn’t try to hide it either. “That’s right. I was the one.”
“Why?” Finn Taylor couldn’t wrap his head around why. ‘Liam Gillies knows my true identity. It doesn’t make sense for the latter to betray me.’
“Someone in Chicago wants your head.” With that, Liam Gillies whipped out a dagger, preparing to stab Finn Taylor in the heart.
“Stop him.” What baffled Finn Taylor even more was that it was the Money family who had saved him!
Henry Money had ordered the men in black to save him!
“Liam Gillies, tell me. Who is he? Chicago? What does he mean?” Henry Money felt that there was more than met the eye.
“Tell you? Why should I tell you?”
“Henry Money, don’t think that you’ll be able to escape. Your son has already offended him. Either you kill him now, or he’ll destroy your family once he leaves this place.”
Liam Gillies naturally wanted Finn Taylor dead—that was the mission he had received.
This was why he dragged the Money family into the picture as well.
“Henry Money, I’m killing him in your house now. Do you really think the Money family will be safe if he leaves this place alive and well?”
Henry Money was stuck between a rock and a hard place. ‘Finn Taylor definitely holds a grudge against our family. Everything can naturally be settled by killing him, but something feels amiss about the secret Liam Gillies is hiding. If he kills Finn Taylor, I might very well have to take the fall for him.’
“Take Finn Taylor to the dungeon.” Eventually, Henry Money decided to spare Finn Taylor’s life. However, he wasn’t going to let the latter off so easily either.
It was pitch-black in the darkness, and Finn Taylor couldn’t even make out his fingers in the dark.
Yet, he wasn’t worried; after all, he would soon get past this dizziness. Once he recovered, there was nothing the Money family could do about him.
However, he fervently prayed that nothing would happen to his wife before he awoke.
Yet, no sooner had Terry Money thrown Finn Taylor into the dungeon than he drove toward Finn Taylor’s hotel.
