Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Linda Jas was never going to take the bla for that. If she did it, she would find a way to shirk all responsibility. If all else failed, she would eventually own up to it.
However, there was no way she would take responsibility for it when she had never done anything.
“Hold on.” Linda Jas whipped out her phone and made a call to her daughter. “Yvette, co to the hotel with Finn. Diane says that she’s leaving San Francisco. I didn’t do anything; she simply said that the mont I arrived.”
Yvette Larson was comforting her employees after the ss the Jas family had created the previous day. They had faced injustice, and as a boss—as well as a relative of the Jas family—it was only right for Yvette Larson to comfort them.
But right at that mont, she received news that Diane Taylor was about to leave the city. Her first thought was that her mother said sothing wrong while apologizing, but the latter said that it had nothing to do with her.
That was strange. Thankfully, her husband was by her side.
“Sothing has happened to Diane. Let’s go have a look.”
Finn Taylor didn’t ask anything more and only continued with his questions once they were in the car. “What happened?”
“Mom called and said that Diane is leaving San Francisco.”
“Did Mom do anything?” Finn Taylor wasn’t blaming her but trying to understand the situation.?‘That can’t be. If she did it, she wouldn’t have called.’
“I don’t think so. From Mom’s tone, it seems like Diane has run into so trouble and wants to leave.”
No matter how much Finn Taylor thought about it, he couldn’t think of what could’ve happened.
Very quickly, the couple arrived at the hotel. They then got out of the car and headed upstairs.
Because the room door was left ajar, the couple spotted Linda Jas trying to persuade Diane Taylor.
From the tears on the latter’s face, they could tell that she’d been crying. But seeing that the two won were talking so peacefully, it seed like Linda Jas was indeed not the culprit.
“You guys are finally here. Hurry up and help out; I didn’t do anything.”
Diane Taylor wiped her tears away. “Mr. Taylor, Ms. Larson, you’re here. It really has nothing to do with Auntie Linda.”
Finn Taylor looked at the girl, asking, “What happened? Why are you crying?”
“Nothing. Oh right, Mr. Taylor, Ms. Larson, I’m leaving San Francisco. I was intending on staying until I got to attend your baby’s birthday celebrations, but I don’t think I’ll have the chance for that now. Please accept this gift from .”
With that, Diane Taylor took out 30 dollars.
Yvette Larson blushed at the ntion of a baby, but she very quickly returned to normal.
“Diane, we won’t take your money. Why don’t you tell us what happened? It’s obvious that you don’t think of us as your family since you’re not telling us anything. We can’t take your money then.” Finn Taylor was clearly trying to force her to spill the beans.
“Mr. Taylor, I can’t tell you anything. You won’t be able to do anything about it anyway.”
The man chuckled. “How do you know that I won’t be able to do anything if you don’t tell anything?”
“It’s too complicated. You don’t have to get involved because of soone like .”
‘What could possibly have happened?’?Finn Taylor got more curious by the mont. “Diane, do you think this is a discussion? Do you think you’ll be able to leave San Francisco without my help? Don’t even think of leaving if you don’t make yourself clear today.”
Left with no other choice, Diane Taylor said, “Mr. Taylor, you don’t have to bother yourself with this. I’ve already resigned, so I have nothing to do with your family anymore.”
“Resigned? I was the one who signed your employnt contract. Without my permission, you can’t leave. Who do you think I am? You had better make yourself clear.”
By now, Diane Taylor understood that there was no way she was going to leave the city if she didn’t tell him what had happened. “Mr. Taylor, do you rember telling you that my mother raised alone? She was a widow, and there weren’t many widows in our village. Recently, quite a few n arrived in our village. Those n once spotted my mom by the river drawing water, and they kindly offered their assistance. Just because of that, rumors about my mom have spread. I don’t want to stay here; I want to be with my mom. Nobody will dare to bully her with there.”
Finn Taylor had thought that sothing major had happened because Diane Taylor had been crying and stuttering. Who would’ve known that it would be such a trivial matter?
“Pack your things. I’ll go back with you.”
“Huh?” Diane Taylor hadn’t expected her employer to care about this matter. “No, no. You can’t interfere in this matter. I understand your good intentions, Mr. Taylor, but you don’t understand those people. You’ll only get implicated if you go. They’re completely unreasonable, and it’s also complicated there. You might be in danger if you were to go with .”
Diane Taylor knew nothing about what her employer had done in the past; she simply thought of him as a rich man. As such, she objected to the latter going to the village with her.
“Danger? Diane, oh Diane. Do you know what kind of person your brother is? I’ll let you see then. Oh right, where’s your village?”
Seeing that Finn Taylor was so insistent, Diane Taylor knew that she had no way of convincing him otherwise.?‘It seems like I have no choice but to try to protect him once we return.’?
“I live in Greenwich.”
‘Greenwich.’?Finn Taylor chuckled.?‘Greenwich is just north of New York. In that case, I’ll have to bring Hunter Sullivan along.’?
“Alright, pack your things. I’ll get us a chauffeur.” He then made a call to Hunter Sullivan to pick them up.
Hearing that they were headed for Greenwich, the latter quickly made a call.
Because of the proximity of Greenwich to New York, many businessn in Greenwich had tried to get on good terms with him. Because they were all businessn who simply wanted to make money, he took them on, and they beca his n.
Now, they would definitely co in handy.
Very quickly, Hunter Sullivan arrived at the hotel.
Finn Taylor arrived downstairs, and they set off for Greenwich.
