Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
lanie Taylor had never seen anything as shaless as the woman in front of her.
‘Linda Jas, look at where you’re living—Number One Pacific Heights. Your family never would’ve gotten the chance to stay in such a luxurious house even if you were to work for ten entire lifetis. It’s only because of Finn Taylor that you’re living there. Forget about the divorce, but how could you kick him to the curb and backstab him now?’?lanie Taylor couldn’t help but criticize the other woman inwardly, but that had nothing to do with her.
They were a family. The more viciously they fought, the happier she would be.
“Alright, contact once you have news. I’ll definitely reward you with a satisfactory sum.”
Linda Jas bowed repeatedly, thanking the younger lady profusely.
“Linda Jas, I heard that your daughter is the prettiest woman in all of San Francisco.”
“That’s true.” Linda Jas was exceptionally confident. “Just take a look at her mother.”
She then took out her daughter’s photo. “My daughter is beautiful, isn’t she?”
“Yes, she is. Have you ever thought about finding your daughter a husband? She can’t remain a widow for life.”
“My daughter isn’t a widow. Oh, you’re saying that Finn Taylor is dead to us. Yes, yes. My daughter is a widow. Actually, I’ve been thinking of finding a husband for her, but she won’t take a fancy to just any average man.”
“Co on. I’ll introduce you to an outstanding one then.”
“Really? Who is that?”
lanie Taylor patted her brother on the shoulder. “My younger brother—Levi Taylor. What do you think?”
Linda Jas had been rather excited just monts earlier because soone recomnded by lanie Taylor would definitely be of a certain caliber.
However, she was discouraged after hearing Levi Taylor’s na.?‘How could this young man possibly fall for my daughter?’?
“Don’t joke around with , Ms. Taylor.”
“Who’s joking around? My brother has taken a fancy to your daughter. If you agree to it, you can invite him back for dinner for them to get to know each other.”
Linda Jas was still in disbelief.?‘Well, it’s true that Yvette is pretty. Has he really fallen for her?’
“What? Are you not satisfied with , Linda Jas?”
“Of course, I am. I’ll go and arrange it at once. You must co for dinner tonight then!” Linda Jas walked away, elated.
Watching Linda Jas’s departing figure, the siblings could only sneer. “She’s such a vicious woman. I can’t believe she gave her daughter and son-in-law away.”
“Yes, she is.”
…
Finn Taylor imdiately returned ho once he gave Howard Dahl his instructions. He then knocked on Michelle Yeller’s door.
The mont the latter saw him, she rushed into his arms.
“Co back.” Josie yer dragged her friend away. “Timothy Taylor, did you arrange for us to be kidnapped so that you could save a damsel in distress? Michelle Yeller didn’t catch that, but did you think that I wouldn’t realize?”
Finn Taylor couldn’t help but admire Josie yer for her stupidity.?‘It’s a pity that she isn’t a writer.’
“Do you really not know why you guys were kidnapped? Besides, I only saved you because Michelle sent a ssage to . If I were the one who planned this, how would I resolve this if Michelle didn’t send a ssage?”
Michelle Yeller nodded. “That’s right. Besides, wasn’t it Quince Larson who kidnapped us?”
“Quince Larson?” Finn Taylor was stumped.?‘What does this have to do with Quince Larson?’
“What’s going on, Michelle?”
Josie yer harrumphed. “Does it have anything to do with you? Do you an that you’re going to take revenge on Quince Larson for us?”
She then slamd the door shut.
Finn Taylor shrugged.?‘I do want to interfere in the matter, but I have to understand what happened in the first place. I’m in no place to do anything if I know nothing.’?
“Sigh.” Finn Taylor felt a little helpless.
He was here to bid the young girl farewell because he was making a trip to Chicago. Since South-East Asia’s Taylor family was now in the picture, he had to consolidate his power, and that ant that Benjamin Taylor and his sons could scram from the family.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t gotten the chance to say what he wanted before Josie yer slamd the door shut.
However, that didn’t matter.
‘We’re just neighbors. By the ti I co back, everything will be different. Nothing will matter then.’?
Finn Taylor returned ho to pack his bags before making his way to the airport. This ti, he was headed back alone and had made a call to his mother in advance, asking if she was willing to help him consolidate his power in the Taylor family.
Although she said that she would try her best to help him, Finn Taylor couldn’t be sure if his mother was telling the truth. However, he could tell that their relationship had improved ever since he had saved her.
On the plane, Finn Taylor couldn’t help but smile bitterly.?‘I have been too soft-hearted and chose to forgive her, but that doesn’t matter. There is no way I could’ve simply severed ties with my mother.’?
Besides, Finn Taylor knew that his mother had always been carrying out orders from others. She had never had the final say.
With nothing else to do, Finn Taylor engrossed himself in a book. But just then, a young child of about three to four years old started sobbing.
Her mother was in an awkward position and tried to comfort her, but nothing seed to work. The child continued sobbing her heart out.
Eventually, two burly n walked up to her. “You idiot, can you shut up? Otherwise, I’ll throw you out of here.”
Not only did that not stop the child from crying, but it even frightened the young girl even more.
Finn Taylor placed his book down and said, “She’s just a child. You can just wear headphones.”
The two n waved their fingers at Finn Taylor. “This has nothing to do with you, brat. You better shut up.”
Finn Taylor sneered. “You said that the child is making too much noise and is affecting you.. You’re making too much noise, and you’re the ones annoying .”
