Chapter 379: Educating
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Finn Taylor’s words infuriated Ellen Fleming.
The Fleming family was an insignificant family in Chicago. In fact, they were rather well-known. Yet, they seemed so trivial when Finn Taylor talked about them as though they were trash.
“Are you tempting fate? You do know that you’ll have to pay for what you just said, right?” Ellen Fleming jolted up from her seat, demanding the man to apologize to her and her family.
“Call your dad. Tell him that Timothy Taylor is waiting for him here.”
Even if Finn Taylor hadn’t said so, Ellen Fleming would’ve called her father anyway.
‘The man in front of me insulted my family! I definitely have to let my father know about it to teach him a good lesson.’ Ellen Fleming then whipped out her phone and made a call to her father, letting him know where she was.
Finn Taylor cut in. “Hurry up and tell him that Timothy Taylor is waiting for him here.”
Seeing how arrogant Finn Taylor was, she quickly conveyed the message. “Dad, that b*stard is really annoying and stuck-up. He wants you to know that his name is Timothy Taylor and that he’s waiting for you.”
Before she mentioned the man’s name, everything seemed normal on the other end of the phone. However, that changed the moment she mentioned Finn Taylor’s name.
Morgan Fleming jumped up from his seat. “Hold on. What did you say his name is?”
“Timothy Taylor. Why?”
“Are you sure his name is Timothy Taylor?”
“Yes.”
“Wait there. I’ll be there right away.” Morgan Fleming didn’t have time to chat with his daughter. ‘I have to rush over. If Ellen has indeed offended that Timothy Taylor, it will be a tricky situation to deal with. However, it won’t matter if it’s simply another Timothy Taylor.’
Ellen Fleming could clearly tell that her father’s attitude had changed, but that made sense since she had been bullied. Hence, she didn’t take it to heart and didn’t overthink the matter, simply thinking that her father was incensed.
Of course, she had never suspected that the cause was Timothy Taylor’s identity.
As she hung up the call, she turned to Finn Taylor smugly. “I can’t wait to see how you’ll die once my father comes.”
The latter merely chuckled. “I can’t wait either.”
Sarah Eaton couldn’t help but worry for her friend.
To be honest, Snowy was the only one amongst them who treated her well. The others were only superficial friends.
They had merely been friends in college and happened to be in Chicago as well, and that was why they were friends now. In reality, however, they all knew that they weren’t truly friends.
On the other hand, Sarah Eaton and Finn Taylor were childhood best friends and had always been on good terms with each other. They had never dissed each other like these ‘friends’ did.
Time ticked by.
Ellen Fleming stared at Finn Taylor, feeling as though the latter was done for. As such, she said, “How about this? I can spare you on Sarah’s account, but you’ll have to crawl through my legs.”
Crawling through someone else’s legs was a huge insult to anyone, much less for a man. Yet, Ellen Fleming had boldly suggested it.
It was obvious just how unreasonable the woman was.
The door opened just as she said so, and Morgan Fleming walked in, happening to hear what his daughter had said.
He took large strides up to his daughter and slapped her in the face.
“Dad!” Tears filled the girl’s eyes. ‘Why did he hit me?’
“Apologize to Mr. Taylor.”
Her father’s words stunned her. ‘Why is my father asking me to apologize to him? Who is he? I’m from the Fleming family! Who does he think he is?’
What Ellen Fleming didn’t know was that her father was on the verge of breaking down. He had spotted Finn Taylor the moment he entered, and he knew exactly who the latter was—the eldest son of the Taylor family, the head of the family, and Master Peregrine of Peregrine Hall!
It wouldn’t take him any effort to destroy such an insignificant family like the Fleming family, yet his daughter had provoked the man! She was trying to drag the entire family down with her!
“Why should I do that?”
Finn Taylor egged her on, “That’s right. Why should she?”
But it was exactly because of these words that Morgan Fleming realized the severity of his daughter’s actions. He turned to the man and bowed respectfully. “Mr. Taylor, my daughter is young and insensible. I hope you can forgive her.”
Morgan Fleming’s actions scared everyone in the room.
Who would’ve thought that this man would apologize to Finn Taylor?
Morgan Fleming was the head of Chicago’s Fleming family! Why would he apologize to the other?
However, Finn Taylor remained indifferent and didn’t even spare the man a glance as he started chatting with Sarah Eaton.
Their conversation was absolutely meaningless, and Morgan Fleming knew that this was a warning from Finn Taylor. However, this meant that the latter was giving him a chance.
He’d naturally be tempting fate if he didn’t cherish this opportunity.
That was why everyone watched on as Morgan Fleming started bowing lower and lower until his knees hit the ground.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Taylor. I’ll make it up to you.” Morgan Fleming fell onto his knees.
It was an incredulous sight, and everyone felt goosebumps rising on their skin. They were all confused as to why Morgan Fleming would kneel down to the young man. ‘Does Timothy Taylor really have an exceptional background? But that’s impossible. Although we’re not wealthy, our families are well-respected, and we know all the young masters of Chicago. However, we’ve never heard of Timothy Taylor. This means that he doesn’t exist. Since that’s the case, why is Morgan Fleming so respectful toward him?’
It was a mystery in everyone’s mind.
“What, do you need me to educate your daughter?”
“Of course not, Mr. Taylor..” Morgan Fleming then stood up and slapped his daughter yet again.
