Chapter 88: Committing Suicide
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The eting was still ongoing, but Finn Taylor had left with his wife.
“Aren’t we going to stay until the end?” Yvette Larson was still a little dazed. She wanted to know who her grandpa would hand the family over to.
“No need. There won’t be a result today.” In actual fact, Finn Taylor was right.
With Yvette Larson’s stubbornness, Joseph Larson didn’t want to hand the family over to her.
As for Quinn Larson, it was certain that he wouldn’t inherit the position given his scandal.
As for Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson, it was true that they were both capable. But to a greater extent, they were simply street-smart. Soone like them might be able to help the family prosper in the short term, but the family was sure to go down with them in the long run.
Of course, Joseph Larson didn’t wish for that to happen. As such, the Old Master simply waved his hands and chased everyone out, saying that he was tired.
And that was how the first battle over the position of Larson family head ended with no result.
…
“Where are we going?” Yvette Larson was confused. She displayed none of that dominance she did in the office. On the contrary, she felt comforted and supported now that her significant other—who had always been known as a piece of trash—had backed her up.
She even asked her husband what they were going to do now.
Yvette Larson never would’ve expected such a situation in the past.
“To the Landon family’s house.”
‘The Landon family?’?Yvette Larson was stunned. She, of course, knew that Finn Taylor was talking about Clarine Landon.
“What, are you in a hurry to save her because she likes you?” joked Yvette Larson.
“Let’s not go then,” he replied imdiately.
‘Pfft!’?Yvette Larson chuckled. “Do you know that Clarine told so ti back that she also realized that you’d changed? It seems like you’re quite charming now. She even asked if I was afraid that I’d lose you.”
Finn Taylor turned back to look at his wife; he was intrigued.
“I told her that I’m not afraid of losing you.”
“Why?” he asked.
“She asked the sa question too. I told her that you would’ve had a change of heart a long ti ago. Over the past three years, I’ve made you suffer, and you’ve been scolded and humiliated countless tis for my sake. You’ve given up too much for , so I know that you’ll never have a change of heart.”
Finn Taylor smiled and picked up his wife’s hand before heading toward the car. “Get in. Let’s go to the Landon family’s house.”
Very quickly, they arrived at their destination.
The Landon family was a second-tier family in San Francisco. But unlike the Larson family, they had only one family branch.
The whole Landon family was made up of only three people—Kenneth Landon, Clarine Landon, and Cassandra Campbell. As such, it was much easier for them to make decisions as compared to the Larson family.
Finn Taylor didn’t bother pressing on the doorbell. He knew that he would likely be refused entry if he were to do so.
He simply walked right into the Landon family’s residence with his spouse in tow.?‘You can choose not to welco . Anyway, I never hoped that you’d be welcoming either.’
As the couple walked into the Landon family’s hall, Kenneth Landon and Cassandra Campbell were seated on the sofa, discussing matters.
Then, their eyes t.
“Why are you here?” It was bold of Cassandra Campbell to say such a thing. After all, the Landon family and Larson family had been friends for a long ti, and Yvette Larson and Clarine Landon were bosom friends.
Now that Yvette Larson was here, she had put up an unwelcoming front!
“We’re here to bring Clarine with us.” Finn Taylor spoke up before his wife even had the chance to do so.
“Who are you to say anything here?” Of course, Finn Taylor was a nobody to Cassandra Campbell. To put it bluntly, a piece of trash like this matrilocal son-in-law was simply dirtying their floor.
‘If not for the fact that the two families are still acquaintances, I probably would’ve broken in to save Clarine by now.’
“Alright now. Clarine is our daughter; she has nothing to do with you two. You guys can leave.” Cassandra Campbell gave her order and requested for Finn Taylor to leave.
But of course, they weren’t going to do so.
“We’re not going to leave until we see Clarine today.” Finn Taylor ignored Cassandra Campbell and walked in with his wife.
Just as the couple reached the door, Kenneth Landon finally spoke up. “Stop right there! Finn Taylor, what do you make of my Landon family? Do you think you can just co and go as you please? I’ll raise and educate my daughter myself. I don’t need anyone from the Larson family to interfere in this.”
The mont Kenneth Landon finished his words, eight n surrounded Finn Taylor.
The eight muscular n in black were the Landon family’s main bodyguards. Each was a forr martial arts champion.
Kenneth Landon had faced assassinations and all kinds of dangers in the past. It had been the protection from these eight people that he had survived them all.
“Go!”
With Kenneth Landon’s order, the eight n charged forward. They were terribly skillful and agile.
Kenneth Landon let out a satisfied smile. He believed that Finn Taylor and his wife wouldn’t be able to do anything as long as these eight bodyguards were around.
But his smile gradually stiffened.
Each of his eight bodyguards was a martial arts champion who had fought against hundreds of n, yet they fell one after another. Within ten minutes, not a single one of the eight was left standing.
Kenneth Landon’s expression was interesting, to say the least.
“Can we go see Clarine now?” asked Finn Taylor. But without even waiting for Kenneth Landon’s reply, he headed upstairs with his wife.
When the couple arrived at Clarine Landon’s room, they realized that the door was locked shut with a huge padlock.
Finn Taylor yanked the padlock off the door.
“Don’t co in. If you co in, I’ll…”
The mont the couple entered the room, they were greeted by the sight of Clarine Landon standing on the window ledge, about to jump down.
“Clarine, it’s !” Yvette Larson was scared stiff and quickly yelled out.
Clarine Landon was stunned. She turned back and realized that it wasn’t her parents but Yvette Larson and her husband!
However, this move caused her to lose her balance, and she fell out of the window.
“Ah…”
“Ah…”
Yvette Larson and Clarine Landon yelled out at the sa ti. Both of them were shell-shocked.
Just then, Cassandra Campbell and Kenneth Landon had rushed in too. That was how they both witnessed their precious daughter about to fall out of the window.
At that mont, terror could be seen on their faces. It was terror from deep within their souls that couldn’t be faked.
But at that critical mont, Finn Taylor ran over to the window and grabbed his wife’s best friend.
‘Phew!’?Clarine Landon let out a deep breath.?‘If not for Finn Taylor, I might’ve gotten into a serious incident this ti.’
Clarine Landon climbed back into the room, and her best friend rushed into the room. The two then embraced each other.
As for Finn Taylor, his ice-cold gaze was fixed on the forr’s parents.
