Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Diane Taylor spilled the truth.
Linda James wanted to rebuke her, but both Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson knew just how their mother was. She was perfectly capable of doing that.
“I…”
Linda James tried to defend herself, but her son-in-law glared at her. “Don't you think you went overboard?”
Linda James was frantic, but she put up a strong front. “Overboard? How did I go overboard? I think you were the one who went overboard. I'm your mom; look at how you're speaking to me.”
Linda James completely ignored what she had just done and acted like an elder, demanding an apology from Finn Taylor.
“Mom, can you be reasonable?” Even her daughter couldn't stand to watch from the sidelines anymore.
“I want you to apologize to her.” Finn Taylor took a step forward and grabbed his mother-in-law's hand.
Linda James struggled to break free, but it was to no avail. “Finn Taylor, what do you want? Is this the way you treat your elders?”
“Elders should behave like elders to deserve respect. You slapped her and even maligned her. Don't you think you owe her an apology?”
Linda James looked toward her daughter with pleading eyes. “Yvette, don't you see that your mom is being forced into a corner? Argh, I'm going to die! I'm really going to die!”
Yvette Larson viciously treated as though she hadn't seen her mother's unreasonable tantrum.
Finn Taylor refused to back down too. “If you don't apologize, you can go back to live in our old house. Since this place doesn't suit you, you'll only live miserably here.”
The difference between their old house and Number One Pacific Heights was like night and day.
Finally, Linda James relented. “Fine, I'll apologize. Let go of me.”
Of course, Finn Taylor didn't do so. He understood his mother-in-law all too well. If he were to let go, she definitely wouldn't admit to having said so.
What he had to do was exert his dominance to force her to make her apology.
“I'm… sorry. I apologized to you. Will that do?” Although Linda James was still brusque, she had apologized after all.
As such, Finn Taylor let her go.
He then walked up to Diane Taylor and snatched something from her hands. “I was the one who hired you, and I didn't fire you. Who allowed you to leave?”
Diane Taylor was moved, and tears welled up in her eyes as she glanced at her employer.
Over the next few days, Yvette Larson could finally breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that her mother wasn't stirring up any more trouble.
However, Yvette Larson was still feeling very down. Almost every day, she would make a trip to Xander Corporation and would call Hunter Sullivan. Yet, the result never changed.
She was never allowed upstairs even after arriving at Xander Corporation.
As for Hunter Sullivan, his phone was always switched off.
That day, Finn Taylor took the initiative to visit his wife at her office. “I want to discuss something with you.”
Finn Taylor's expression was stern as he entered the office.
Yvette Larson felt as though her husband was going to say something important. “What?”
“I have a way for you to meet Hunter Sullivan.”
'Huh!' Yvette Larson stared at him and asked immediately, “How?”
“It's a little troublesome and a little dangerous.”
Yvette Larson was still confused, but she saw a playful smile creeping up her husband's face. “Oh, there are terms. I have to think about it.”
Yvette Larson thought about it for a long while but realized that she had nothing to give to him. Her husband was the one who had purchased both their car and house. Moreover, they were both the best in their categories.
Even she wouldn't have been able to afford them.
'What else can I give him?' Just then, Yvette Larson thought of something: Every night, the couple slept in two separate bedrooms. Although they were a couple, they had never been intimate with each other.
“If you can really help me, I'll let you sleep in my bedroom.”
Finn Taylor smiled in satisfaction. This was exactly the answer he had been waiting for. “Alright, I'll settle it for you. Wait for my good news.”
With that, Finn Taylor stood up.
But his wife was curious. “What are you going to do?”
“Hunter Sullivan has a villa on Pacific Heights.”
Yvette Larson sighed; she had thought that her significant other had another plan.
She had already thought of this plan, but she had visited the house several times, and it had been locked every time she visited. It seemed as though Hunter Sullivan had disappeared into thin air.
“Their gate is locked. You won't get to meet him even if you go there.”
“I'll break the gate down,” Finn Taylor replied nonchalantly.
Yvette Larson was slightly taken aback. “Break it down?”
“If I do that, the property manager will look for Hunter Sullivan on my behalf.” With that said, Finn Taylor walked out of the office.
After leaving, he headed straight for the Sullivan family's residence at Pacific Heights.
Of course, Finn Taylor had his ways of getting in contact with Hunter Sullivan. However, he had to put on an act to the very end.
In the end, he really smashed that gate.
Naturally, that attracted the attention of Pacific Heights's property manager.
When he saw that the perpetrator was the owner of Number One Pacific Heights, he didn't dare to blame him for another. He simply felt that there had been a conflict between the two owners.
Someone like the property manager was in no place to offend such owners. As such, he put the two parties in contact with each other.
Just like that, Finn Taylor managed to get in contact with Hunter Sullivan, just like how he told his wife he would.
Whatever followed was easy to resolve.
Hunter Sullivan took the initiative to call Yvette Larson, saying that they had misunderstood each other. Now that he had had a few days to cool down, he thought that money was still more important and that they could continue with their project after all. However, Yvette Larson had to pay for his gate.
Of course, Yvette Larson thanked Hunter Sullivan repeatedly, even promising him that she would replace his gate with a top-quality one.
After hanging up the call, Yvette Larson heaved a sigh of relief. She had been tensed up over the past few days just because of this matter, and it had finally been solved.
Just then, she heard a din outside.
She opened the door to find that her grandpa—Joseph Larson—had arrived.
This time, Joseph Larson wasn't alone. Not only were Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson standing behind him, but there were also many extended relatives of the Larson family.
These people weren't very close to the Larson family, but they were still Larsons after all. As such, they still held shares in the company.
Although it wasn't much, it was enough to guarantee that they wouldn't go hungry or homeless.
However, they all flew into a frenzy after learning that the Larson family was about to go bankrupt. That was why they had all gathered at Joseph Larson's house, wanting him to provide them with a way out.
No matter how much he tried, the Old Master couldn't convince these people. Left with no other choice, he could only bring them to the office so that Yvette Larson could settle this matter for him.
“Joseph, you're the family head; our survival depends on you. If Yvette Larson is incapable, you'd better take her down! I think Quince Larson is more reliable!”
