Chapter 401: Sweet Nothings
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Tch. You’re both full of sweet nothings now, but will you still talk to so calmly after I tell you the truth? Do you really think that I’d believe you? Don’t think that you’ll be able to fool . I’ve lived much longer than you. Do you think I won’t see through your lies? You’ve promised to give a benefit and then told that you wouldn’t do anything to so that I’d be tricked into telling you the truth. Once that happens, I’ll have no choice but to listen to whatever you guys say, even if you want to punish , right? I wonder what’s going on in your mind. Do you really think I’m a fool? I’m not a fool. I’m a genius!”
Yvette Larson couldn’t help but lant inwardly that she really had an unreasonable mother.
Linda Jas was probably the only one who could describe herself like that, yet it was exactly because of this that Yvette Larson wanted to know just what her mother had said to lanie Taylor.
‘Considering how crucial the situation is, she must’ve told lanie Taylor a huge secret. If we don’t get the truth out of her, Finn will definitely fail at whatever he is going to do.’?
“Mom, do you not trust ? Alright then, tell what you want to do to gain your trust?”
“You better forget about it. I’ll never trust you no matter what you say.”
“Mom, I’m your daughter. Do you not even believe your own daughter?”
“That’s true, but you’re already siding with an outsider. Your heart is already with Finn, so you’re no longer useful to .”
“Forget it. Since we can’t get anything out of her, we have no other choice. We have only one way of preventing her from telling lanie Taylor even more—locking her up.”
“What? Finn Taylor, repeat yourself! Did you say that you want to lock up?”
“I’m sorry, but we don’t have any other choice. You also know that lanie Taylor is a tough one to beat. As my mother-in-law, you know way too many secrets about . If I don’t handle this well, you might expose all of my secrets to them. Then, it’ll be too easy for them to defeat . I don’t have a choice. I want to live, and I’m sure you want to live as well. Give so respect, and I’ll thank you for that. We might not be mother and son, but I’m still your son-in-law after all. Do one last favor by staying here for another three to five years. I’ll definitely let you out once I settle this matter.”
“Oh right, I can swear on my life that I will never kill you. I’m just locking you up here; you won’t be in any danger. You should know that I like your daughter too. If I harm her mother, I wouldn’t be able to answer to her anyway, so you can rest assured that I won’t do anything to you.”
Finn Taylor went on a long monologue, yet it sent chills down Linda Jas’s spine. “Finn Taylor, don’t test my limits. No matter what, I’m still your mom, right? You admitted to it. Is that how you treat your mom—locking up? You can’t do this!”
‘I definitely will not let myself be locked up. I still have my whole life ahead of —living in Number One Pacific Heights and spending my wads of cash! I have too much to lose if I get locked up for years.’?
“Mom, I don’t really want to lock you up either, but I want to live. I have no other choice, but you do. If you don’t want to be locked up here, you can just tell the truth. Didn’t you say that you’ve never hurt ? Didn’t you say that you treat well? But you told lanie Taylor my secret. Why don’t you tell what exactly you told her?”
These words caused Linda Jas to falter slightly. She was weighing the pros and cons of revealing the truth.?‘What will happen to once I tell them about it? What will Finn Taylor do to ?’
Eventually, she decided to spill the beans.?‘They can do whatever they want to , but I’m sure he won’t kill since Yvette is here. Anything is better than death.’
“Actually, I didn’t say much. That day, I heard you say that you were going to buy the Nile Street neighborhood and resell it to lanie Taylor from your call to Yvette. At that ti, I already knew that you weren’t any match for the Taylor family from South-East Asia. If I managed to tell lanie Taylor about your plan, I thought that our family wouldn’t be implicated. Hence, I went to look for lanie Taylor, but she refused to et . Eventually, I ca up with a plan to get her attention.”
“But before I could even say anything, she slapped in the face and insulted ! She said I wasn’t even worthy of stepping into her office, and she even said that I couldn’t compare to her receptionist! In the end, I was humiliated and chased out of the building. I lost all dignity! I sold my soul, wanting to tell her my greatest secret and beg her to spare our lives, yet she didn’t even give that chance. She trampled on as though I was nothing but a puny ant!”
“This was why I didn’t want to tell you about it. It wasn’t because I was afraid of being punished but because I feel embarrassed every ti I think about it. I feel so worthless. Alright, I’ve told you everything. You can do whatever you want to —even kill .. It doesn’t matter to anymore.”
