Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Melanie Taylor commanded someone to go after Finn Taylor as though she had gone crazy.
Just then, the four guardians stood forward. They quickly formed a human wall around Yvette Larson, blocking Melanie Taylor from attacking the latter.
As for the latter’s parents, they had escaped the moment they noticed something amiss.
In the end, Melanie Taylor achieved nothing with her party.
Enraged, she announced that she would use all means to go against Finn Taylor as well as the Larson Corporation.
She wanted the family dead.
Melanie Taylor made huge waves in San Francisco—she had managed to take control of almost two-thirds of the city’s companies within the short span of a few days. It was obvious just how powerful she was.
It was clear what was in store for Finn Taylor now that she was targeting him—he was done for, and so was the Larson family.
Even the most powerful family in San Francisco—the Gold family—was done for.
…
Back home, Linda James was furious.
She had gone to the party in high spirits. Even though it was her first time at such an event, she loved it. In fact, she even thought of herself as the party’s center of attention.
However, Finn Taylor had ruined all that—he had ruined everything.
“Finn Taylor, are you stupid? She just asked you to sign an agreement, and you would’ve gotten ten billion dollars! Why didn’t you sign it? Not only do you not have ten billion now, but she even wants the Larson family dead!”
Her daughter corrected her: “She wants the Taylor family dead.”
“The Taylor family? I’m sure she’s talking about the Larson family. How big could the Taylor family be? Isn’t he the only one from the family?”
Finn Taylor knew that he couldn’t afford to keep this under wraps anymore, so he said blandly, “It’s the Taylor family they’re after. They want the Taylor family dead.”
Linda James remained indifferent. “Which Taylor family?”
Her son-in-law replied, “Chicago’s Taylor family.”
“C-Chicago’s Taylor family?” Linda James’s voice faltered. Her lips quivered, and disbelief filled her eyes.
“What nonsense are you spouting? She was clearly talking about the Larson family. Chicago’s Taylor family?” Although Linda James said so, she was in a panic inwardly.
This was clear from how she was peeking at her son-in-law from the corner of her eye.
“I’m the young master of Chicago’s Taylor family—the most powerful family in the country. I’m also the head of Peregrine Hall—Master Peregrine. Melanie Taylor is the descendant of my great-grandpa’s elder brothers and the princess of South-East Asia’s Taylor family. Levi Taylor is the young master of the family. The two of them are back this time to kick us out of the Taylor family’s residence so that they can take our place.”
“The document she wanted me to sign was full of lies about how my great-grandpa set his elder brother up, causing them to leave Chicago and head for South-East Asia. Now that they’re back, they want everything that belongs to them. There’s no way I’ll sign that document no matter how much you offer me.”
Every word Finn Taylor said unveiled a new world to the family. It was unbelievable!
‘Chicago’s Taylor family—the most powerful family in the whole country—and Finn Taylor is the family’s young master? Does that mean that Wendy Jensen is the family’s matriarch? This…’ Linda James was aghast, and she felt a chill run down her spine as she suddenly thought of the Taylor family from South-East Asia.
“Finn, let me ask you something. You must be honest with me. Is the Taylor family from South-East Asia really that powerful? How confident are you in defeating the siblings?”
Finn Taylor remained silent for a long while before stretching a finger out. “10%? 10% at the very most—it might not even be 10%.”
The Taylor family looked strong, and according to Willow Stone, they also had an even more powerful backer in Europe!
If they were to compare their assets, Chicago’s Taylor family wouldn’t even match up to them!
Besides, Finn Taylor didn’t even have full say here. This meant that he was left with even less than that. As such, he didn’t even think that he had a 10% chance of winning the battle against Melanie Taylor and Levi Taylor.
Before this, Linda James had been in awe of her son-in-law just moments earlier. However, her expression immediately changed as she headed up the stairs without even sparing the latter a glance.
Confused, her husband rushed up the stairs after her. “What are you doing?”
“Don’t you know what will happen to us once South-East Asia’s Taylor family bankrupts the Chicago one?” Linda James questioned her husband.
“What are you trying to do?”
“What am I trying to do? Have you never thought about what to do now that we are on the brink of death?”
“What do you really want to do?”
“I want Yvette to get a divorce from him.”
“A divorce? Are you kidding? He’s the young master of Chicago’s Taylor family. How can you ask your daughter to get a divorce from him?”
“So what if he’s from Chicago’s Taylor family? He himself said that he doesn’t have a 10% chance against the other family. Do you want to die with him? It’s better that they get a divorce.”
“That’s right.”
“Linda, do you not have a conscience? The company and this house are all ours only because of Finn. Do you think we would be staying in Number One Pacific Heights without his money?”
“Money! Yes, there’s still money! I won’t let them get a divorce so easily. Yvette wasted so many years of her youth on him. He has to compensate her for that.”
“Linda, have you gone mad? Forget it. Why don’t you tell Yvette that? Let’s see if she agrees to a divorce.”
“I naturally won’t tell Yvette that. I’ll tell Finn Taylor that he can’t let my daughter weather the storms with him since he claims to love her so much.”
‘I don’t want to get involved, and Linda has lost it. Money is such a strange thing. It can make someone completely lose their mind. Linda has really gone too far out.’
The next day, Yvette Larson headed to work as per normal.
Finn Taylor was just about to head out to resolve his problems when his mother-in-law stopped him. “Don’t go out just yet, Finn. I have something to talk to you about.”
He looked back, having his own suspicions. ‘She’s being exceptionally polite today. That’s strange. What is she up to?’
Linda James looked at the man and asked, “Finn, have you thought about it? What will happen if you lose this fight against the Taylor family from South-East Asia?”
Finn Taylor was stumped. ‘I never expected Linda James to ask me about this. Besides, I’ve never really thought about it.’
“Have you not thought about it? The answer is simple: You’ll become homeless and a beggar. As your wife, Yvette will become a beggar too—a beggar despised by everyone!”
