Chapter 310: Afraid
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Actually, Linda Jas was quite a pitiful woman too. She wanted her family to get along with the Larson family as well.
Now, she waited at the door expectantly.
Unfortunately, her family was truly useless, and her hopes fell through.
“Mom, we’re back.” The couple greeted her.
Linda Jas was emotional. “Hey, you’re back. That’s good; I’ve already prepared dinner.”
One could count with just one hand how many tis Linda Jas had stepped into the kitchen to prepare a al over the past three years. In fact, this was probably the first ti she had taken the initiative to whip up a al for the family.
Linda Jas awaited their good news, but things rarely went to plan.
Once everyone entered the house, Finn Taylor glanced at his wife, who nodded in agreent.
“Co have a seat.”
Linda Jas was slightly confused as she looked at her son-in-law. “Is there sothing so important that we can’t discuss after dinner?”
“I think we had better get this out of the way. I don’t think I’ll be able to stomach dinner otherwise.”
Yvette Larson glared at her mom before the latter could say more. “Co and have a seat. Mom, you co over too.”
Linda Jas was slightly afraid of her daughter. After all, the latter held the final say as to whether her family could remain in the company.
Although reluctant, the Jas family eventually took their seats on the sofa.
When everyone was seated, Finn Taylor finally spoke up. “I didn’t want to expose this in the company, but now that we’re ho, it’s best to clear the air about what happened in the office today. The surveillance footage told us everything, and I brought it back with today.”
Finn Taylor retrieved a hard disk from his bag.
By now, the Jas family was slightly flustered.
Henry Jas was the first one to speak up. “Finn Taylor, what do you an by this? Didn’t you say that you weren’t going to pursue the matter anymore?”
Finn Taylor chuckled. “Don’t worry. Since Sally doesn’t want to pursue the matter, I won’t. However, I have to find out what happened. I was afraid that I would be wrong if I were to view it alone, so I decided to invite all of you to view it with . What, you guys look terrified. Do you know sothing that I don’t?”
Henry Jas’s eyes shied away from Finn Taylor’s gaze. “What could I possibly know? Don’t put words into my mouth.”
Seeing Henry Jas’s behavior, Finn Taylor knew he had caught the culprit. However, he was in no hurry.
Once the video was shown, the truth would be known to all.
Finn Taylor had obtained the surveillance footage starting an hour before Sally scread. It was highly likely that her money had been stolen in the previous hour.
It would be hard to find anything out within that hour, so he started playing all four videos at the sa ti.
Nothing seed out of the blue, and that naturally pleased the Jas family.
They glanced at Finn Taylor as though they were challenging him.?‘See, you were making a mountain out of a molehill.’?
Of course, Finn Taylor was in no hurry either. They were bound to be exposed.
As the video played on, sothing finally happened.
Sally had left her desk—this was a key turning point.
If soone had stolen her money, it probably would’ve taken place after this. As expected, Henry Jas inched toward Sally’s desk, even sitting in her seat. He then opened the drawer and took her money out.
At that mont, he had only placed the money on the table, not in his pockets.
But by then, Henry Jas was furious. “What’s there to see? Kill if you want!”
He stood up, wanting to leave.
But Finn Taylor naturally wasn’t going to let that happen, and he pinned the man on the ground. “Do you really think that I won’t dare to do anything to you?”
On the television, the video was running. By this ti, Henry Jas had already placed the money in his pocket.
Just then, Karen Jas walked over. “Wow, you’re even stealing money now!”
“Be quiet.” Henry Jas then split the loot with his sister before they both left the scene.
Finn Taylor glanced at Karen Jas.?‘I knew that she had to be involved in this sohow since both of them tried to escape this afternoon.’?
“Finn Taylor, let go of . I won’t run away.” Henry Jas felt miserable being pinned down on the ground, and he started begging for rcy.
After giving the man a vicious kick, Finn Taylor loosened his grip.?‘Escape? You must be kidding. We’re on Pacific Heights. It would be strange if you were able to run away.’
“How much did you steal?”
Henry Jas’s eyes shifted as he said, “30 dollars.”
“I’ll chop off your fingers if you don’t tell the truth.”
“300 dollars.”
Finn Taylor glared at the other.
“Fine, 700 dollars. That’s the truth.”
“Alright, the company’s rules are that you have to pay ten-fold of what you stole. Hand 7,000 dollars over.”
“7,000 dollars?” Henry Jas’s face drained of all color.?‘I don’t even have that much money.’
“It’s alright if you don’t have 7000. You can pay with your fingers.” With that, Finn Taylor picked up a fruit knife and slamd Henry Jas’s hand onto the table. He was about to chop the other’s fingers off with the knife.
“Wait a minute; I do have 7,000.”
‘My life is more important than money.’
“I-I have so secret savings.” Henry Jas eventually transferred Finn Taylor 7,000 dollars, throwing the family into chaos.
But this had nothing to do with Finn Taylor.
“Finn, we’ve already paid you. Let’s not pursue the matter anymore.” Henry Jas thought that his nephew-in-law wouldn’t harp on the matter anymore now that he had already paid the latter.
“We can close this case, but there’s sothing else that we have to take into account.”
“Another thing?”
‘What’s he talking about? Is he talking about the tissues and other things that I stole? Is Finn Taylor even going to pursue such a trivial matter?’
“Co in.” Nobody knew who Finn Taylor was talking to.
Right then, the door opened, and soone walked in.
Seeing that person, the Jas family’s faces were filled with terror. The one who walked in was none other than Diane Taylor.
“Diane Taylor, you…” Karine Jas imdiately jumped up from her seat, visibly shocked.
“What, you look quite frightened to see ?” Seeing Karine Jas, Diane Taylor was no longer afraid.
“You must be quite terrified to see .” Just then, another man walked in—Bruce Jones.
Karine Jas could no longer remain calm.
“Y-you…” She stuttered for a long ti but couldn’t complete her sentence.. It was painfully obvious how shaken she was.
