Chapter 297: Unwelcome
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The James family was truly shameless.
They had gotten into such a tussle in Los Angeles that they were practically no longer on speaking terms.
Karine James and Weston Shaw had found someone to kidnap their cousin, leading them to be raped and becoming paralyzed respectively. Even the matriarch of the family—Lucy Williams—had been forced to go down on her knees to apologize to Finn Taylor.
Even so, the family was still shameless enough to come all the way to San Francisco. In fact, they were no less shameless than they had been before.
They were sprawled out on the sofa, casually tossing the fruit peels onto the ground. This left the poor young girl—Diane Taylor—scrambling to clean up after them.
“There’s a trash can here. Why can’t you throw them into the trash can?” Diane Taylor could no longer hold it in and tried to remind them gently.
Slap!
No sooner had she finished her sentence than she got slapped in the face. “Who are you? You’re just hired help! How dare you speak to me like this?”
Diane Taylor was dumbfounded. ‘I only tried to give them a gentle reminder, yet they’d brutally slapped me!’
“I didn’t mean anything. I just hope that you won’t throw your rubbish all over.”
“What do you mean? We’re at home, so it’s only right that we do whatever we want. If we throw our things into the trash can, why would we need you around?”
Karine James was the only unreasonable one in her immediate family.
Karen James was similarly senseless as she lectured Diane Taylor.
The young girl was on the brink of tears, but just then, Finn Taylor returned home.
The former was overwhelmed with emotions.
As for the James family, it was as though they were facing an enemy. His presence frightened them so much that they quickly sat upright in their seats.
But when they took a closer look at Finn Taylor, they immediately let their guards down. He was drunk and couldn’t even steady himself.
‘F*ck!’ Karine James immediately rushed up and slapped Finn Taylor. Thinking about what she had experienced in Los Angeles, she had the urge to kill the man.
But just as she was about to slap him a second time, Diane Taylor stepped in. “Don’t hit Mr. Taylor.”
“You b*tch! Who are you? Why do I have to get your permission to hit him?” Karine James tried to shove the other away, but the latter refused to give in.
Karine James tried for a long time, but it was in vain.
Diane Taylor would protect her employer with her life. As long as she was around, she wouldn’t let anyone hurt him.
“Karine, stop making a fuss. Don’t you know why we’re here today? Will you be able to bear the responsibility if we fail?” Her grandmother suddenly spoke up, causing her to come to an abrupt halt.
Taking advantage of this, Diane Taylor took the chance to send the drunk man back to his room.
With the pair no longer there, Karen James said, “Karine, what will happen if that caretaker tells that piece of trash about what happened earlier?”
Everyone had been very worked up and had wanted to punch Finn Taylor themselves to get back at him too. But now that they’d calmed down, they were all terrified to the core.
Just then, Linda James and her husband returned from a grocery run. They were obviously displeased by the state their house was in, yet they weren’t in any place to say anything because the others were still their relatives.
“Linda, I can’t stay here anymore.” Lucy Williams was about to burst out into tears.
‘Why is my mother suddenly saying such things?’ Linda James was confused. “Mom, I just came back. What are you talking about?”
“Finn Taylor came home just now, and he wanted to beat us up when he saw us. That’s why Karine tried to fight back by slapping him. Although he was drunk and probably won’t remember this, Diane Taylor saw everything. What will happen to us if she tells him that Karine hit him? Ah, I’m going to die. I’m really going to die.” Lucy Williams was much more dramatic than her daughter, and Francis Larson felt as though his head was going to explode.
“What are you saying, Mom? Since Finn was the one who threw the first punch, I’ll definitely get him to apologize to you.”
“I can’t accept his apology. I’m afraid I’ll lose my life.”
“What shall we do then?”
“Chase that caretaker away. That will do.”
‘Chase Diane Taylor away? But she has a good relationship with Finn. He’ll probably flare up if we were to do that.’
“I-I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“Forget it; let’s go. The Larson family is rich after all. Their caretaker means much more to them than their poor relatives.” Lucy Williams acted as though she was about to leave.
“Mom, I’ll ask her to leave. Will that do?”
“Hurry on.”
Linda James felt miserable.
Not long later, Diane Taylor came downstairs.
“Diane, I have something to tell you.”
Diane Taylor looked at Linda James and said, “Do you want me to keep this a secret? That is impossible. I’m going to tell Mr. Taylor everything truthfully.”
Slap!
Linda James slapped the young girl viciously. “Diane Taylor, do you have to cause a fight in our family? You’d better remember that we’re relatives, while you’re only our caretaker. I’m firing you right now—scram!”
Diane Taylor cupped her face, a look of aggrievement on her face. “No, I’m not leaving before Mr. Taylor learns of the truth.”
“You’re not leaving? You’d better be careful then.”
“Diane Taylor, I heard that you’re still a student. I’m sure you don’t want rumors about you to spread, right?” Karine James snatched the young girl’s phone away and smashed it on the ground.
Karen James and the rest then dragged Diane Taylor toward the bottom of Pacific Heights.
Diane Taylor was a young girl, and there was no way she’d be their match. Eventually, she chose to make a compromise and leave for the time being.
However, she wasn’t going to give up just like that. Once she had the chance, she would definitely look for Finn Taylor and tell him everything that had happened.
When Yvette Larson returned home and saw the James family in her house, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
“Yvette, what do you mean by this? It seems like you don’t welcome us.”
“That’s true. You’re not welcome here!”
