Chapter 340: Humble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Of course, Finn Taylor had realized that Willow Stone was similar to himself. However, he hadn’t acted on it.

After all, he couldn’t tell if it was genuine or whether Willow Stone was simply putting on an act to win him over.

But that didn’t matter. It was alright if Willow Stone wanted to work together, but she would be overestimating herself if she thought that this would bring her a step closer to him.

Finn Taylor liked Yvette Larson not because of her beauty—even though she was gorgeous—but the warmth he gave her.

The couple had gone through too much over the past three years.

In the past three years, everyone had humiliated him—even Yvette Larson had seemed to join in on the surface. But in reality, she never once shirked away from defending him if someone tried to harm him.

Every time the Larson family tried to hurt him, his wife was the only one who stood up for him.

That was as far as the collaboration between Finn Taylor and Willow Stone would go.

Finn Taylor then left the hotel—he had promised to return home early.

“Finn Taylor, can I ask you a question?”

Without even knowing what she wanted to ask, Finn Taylor refused. “I think you’re better off not asking anything. My answer will probably disappoint you.”

Disappointment was written all over Willow Stone’s face.?‘Does Finn Taylor really not like me? I’m the eldest daughter of the Stone family! Do I really mean nothing to Finn Taylor?’

When he arrived home, he realized that his wife was still awake. She was lying on the sofa, watching television.

Finn Taylor walked over and asked, “Why are you still awake?”

“I made supper. I was waiting to have it with you.”

“Sounds good.”

Plunk!

Suddenly, the lights were flicked on.

All the lights in the house were turned on.

“Finn Taylor, which b*tch were you with? Look at the time—it’s almost midnight. Why did you come back so late?” Linda James stood at the stairwell, looking down at the couple as she chided her son-in-law.

“Mom, can you stop being so unreasonable?” Before her spouse even said a word, Yvette Larson defended him. She couldn’t stand how her mother was acting.

In the past, Yvette Larson hadn’t thought much of this because the rest of the family had done so too. But now that they had already defeated the Larson family, Linda James was still acting like this.

This wasn’t the life she wanted to lead. What she wanted most was peace.

“Mom, do you really want us to get a divorce before you’ll be satisfied?”

Linda James shook her head. “I don’t want you to get a divorce. I want him to leave with nothing.”

Yvette Larson questioned her, “Why should he need to leave with nothing?”

“Otherwise? What does he want to take away with him? What belongs to him? The house? The company?”

“Mom, you’re really shameless. Finn was the one who bought the house and transferred those shares to you. Don’t you feel bad asking him to leave?”

Linda James was so infuriated that she slammed the door shut. Even after she returned to her room, they heard her screaming, “I’m your mom! How dare you call me shameless?”

Linda James was enraged, but her daughter was even more infuriated. Yvette Larson turned to her husband. “I finally realize that the problems we’ve faced aren’t because of anyone else but from within our family. I’ll have to teach her a lesson.”

…

Within the next week, developments happened so quickly within the city’s business circle that it stumped many.

Amongst the changes, the greatest was Melanie Taylor and Levi Taylor’s new company receiving a huge sum of investment, forcing many other companies into bankruptcy.

Of course, Melanie Taylor then acquired these companies.

The Taylor siblings now held nearly two-thirds of all businesses in the city. They then called for a press conference and invited everyone within the business world.

Everyone—that naturally included the Larson family.

Yvette Larson, Finn Taylor, Francis Larson, and Linda James all received an invitation.

It was Linda James’s first time receiving an invitation like that, and she was over the moon. However, her mood soured when she saw that her son-in-law had received one as well. “Why do you have one too?”

Yvette Larson glared at her. “What’s wrong with us receiving invitations?”

“No. We’re the chairmen of the company now, while you were the chairman before us, so it’s only right that we receive invitations. However, why should he get one too?” Linda James pointed at her son-in-law in disbelief.

It was obvious what she meant—Finn Taylor had never held a position in the company, so why should he receive an invitation too?

Yvette Larson dragged her husband away, not letting her mother continue. Even she didn’t want to hear such things, much less her husband.

…

As Finn Taylor walked out of the house, he received a message from Hunter Sullivan. Hence, he headed to the latter’s residence.

As expected, all four guardians were present.

“Master Peregrine.” The four men bowed to him.

Finn Taylor nodded.

As they stood up, they showed their boss their invitations. “Master Peregrine, this invitation.”

Finn Taylor nodded. “I’m not hiding anything from you. Melanie Taylor and Levi Taylor are from the Taylor family too, but they’re not from Chicago’s Taylor family but South-East Asia’s.”

“The Taylor family from South-East Asia?” The four men were dumbfounded.

None of them had heard of that family before. “Master Peregrine, what’s that?”

“My great-grandpa had an elder brother, and they fought for the position of family head. After losing to my great-grandpa, his elder brother left and managed to establish a new family in South-East Asia. I guess they’re now established and want to get their rightful positions back.”

Hunter Sullivan finally understood the situation now. “Do you have any instructions for us, Master Peregrine?”

“Remember to protect Yvette during the party tomorrow.”

“Alright.” They naturally agreed. Yvette Larson treated them well and was down-to-earth.. Naturally, they were willing to protect someone like this.
