Chapter 206: Teaching Him a Lesson
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Having been beaten up by Finn Taylor, Weston Shaw was indignant. As such, he wanted to teach the other and his wife a lesson.
Because he liked to gamble, he had gotten to know Diego, who told him that he knew a gangster boss.
In a slightly dim pool hall.
There were only four pool tables in the entire hall. About seven to eight people were dispersed around the hall, playing pool.
Because a few of them had cigarettes in their mouths, thick smoke clouded the room.
As Diego brought Weston Shaw in, the latter couldn't help but cough.
“Brother Dan, this is my brother, Weston Shaw.. He would like to ask a favor of you.”
The person called Brother Dan was a well-built man of about 180 pounds. He peered at Weston Shaw, and that gaze frightened the latter so much that he fell to the ground.
“I can do that, but my subordinates need to be paid. Look…” With that, he made a gesture with his hands, asking for money.
Diego nudged Weston Shaw, who immediately understood.
The latter took out a stack of notes from his wallet and handed them over. “Brother Dan, I have 1,500 dollars here. It's for all of you to get some cigarettes.”
Brother Dan took the stack of notes and nodded. “Not bad; you know the rules around here. Tell me, who do you want me to deal with?”
“Brother Dan, I want you to teach Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson a lesson.”
“Oh, who are they?” Brother Dan had been in the industry for a long time, so he knew that there were some people he couldn't afford to offend no matter what. Before dealing with these two people, he had to understand who they were.
He would be seeking death if he were to offend some prominent figures.
“Don't worry, Brother Dan. These two people aren't from Los Angeles. Yvette Larson is my cousin from San Francisco. She's the CEO of her family's company, and she's quite pretty. You can… As for Finn Taylor, he's her husband and a matrilocal son-in-law.”
The moment Brother Dan heard the words 'matrilocal son-in-law,' he couldn't help but frown. 'How shameless! Why would a man become a matrilocal son-in-law for no good reason?'
However, he was rather interested in Yvette Larson.
“You're quite a vicious young man to get me to teach your own cousin a lesson.”
“Brother Dan, she's not much of a cousin to me. She wanted to break my limbs and send me into the ICU. Why should I let her off?”
Brother Dan didn't care about the feuds between relatives. All he cared about was doing his job after receiving the money. “Alright, alright. Let's go.”
Upon receiving Brother Dan's command, Weston Shaw quickly ran out of the pool hall. It scared him stiff to be there in the first place—he felt it terrifying to interact with these people.
At the same time, Karine James's house.
Nathan Yeats had arrived at the residence.
“Nathan is here.” Seeing that his daughter's boyfriend had arrived, Henry James was all smiles. 'Although Yvette Larson's family managed to show off during our grandma's birthday celebrations this time, Nathan Yeats isn't bad either. A day will come when Nathan Yeats will definitely surpass Chloe Yeats and crush Yvette Larson's family under his feet.'
“Karine, Nathan is here.” Henry James rushed up to call his daughter down.
“Oh, you're here.”
Nathan Yeats removed the ring from his finger and placed it on the table. “Let's break up.”
This ring was his engagement ring with Karine James. Although the couple hadn't organized an engagement party, they had bought each other engagement rings. This meant that they were going to spend the rest of their lives together.
Nathan Yeats's sudden declaration stunned Karine James.
There was no way she'd be able to accept everything she was about to lose—that was much scarier than the thought of a break-up.
“Why?”
“Because your family offended Finn Taylor.”
“Offended Finn Taylor?”
'If he had said anything else, I might've accepted it. But what's with this excuse? He's going to break up with me just because of a useless matrilocal son-in-law?'
“Are you serious? For a useless matrilocal son-in-law?”
'Useless matrilocal son-in-law?' When Nathan Yeats heard those words, he couldn't help but chuckle. 'Karine James's family is truly ridiculous. Even until now, they are still so ignorant about the situation. Did they not see how Chloe Yeats treated Finn Taylor that day? Her terribly respectful attitude made it clear that even she's no match for Finn Taylor. Yet, this family regards such a hidden gem as a useless matrilocal son-in-law!'
Karine James's words convinced Nathan Yeats of his decision. 'If I don't break off this relationship as soon as possible, I might very well be dragged down by this family.'
“Karine James, you're crazy.” After leaving these words, Nathan Yeats simply left.
Karine James naturally couldn't accept this and rushed out, hugging the other's leg. “Nathan, don't leave. Aren't we engaged? Do you not love me anymore?”
“Love you? I only love your body. You're so brainless, so why would I love you?” As he said that, he couldn't help but sneer. “Don't look at me like that. Are you trying to show your true love for me? Isn't what you really love just my money? If I had no money, you'd break up with me too.”
Karine James had no way of rebutting him.
She was a pampered and spoiled princess. She thought that her looks were worthy of million-dollar luxury cars, cash gifts, and even multi-million mansions.
The only reason she was still with Nathan was that she hadn't found anyone better. Once someone richer appeared, she would definitely break up with Nathan Yeats without any hesitation.
Of course, she would do the same if Nathan Yeats were to go bankrupt. Why would she bother with him if he had no money?
But Karine James had never thought a day would come when she would be dumped instead—Nathan Yeats had left without even sparing her a second glance.
Karine James's gaze was filled with fury. 'I'm going to take my revenge on Yvette Larson. I have to let that woman know the consequences of offending me.'
Karine James got through to Weston Shaw. “Weston, don't you always go gambling?”
No sooner had Weston Shaw exited the pool hall than he received his cousin's phone call. “Why do you ask?”
His heart stopped. 'Is my cousin going to borrow money from me?'
“Do me a favor. Get someone to teach Yvette Larson a lesson.”
The moment Weston Shaw heard those words, he couldn't help but mutter inwardly. 'That's something I had just said earlier.'
As such, he imitated Brother Dan. “That's possible, but my people need to be paid.”
“You're asking for money then? How much?”
The gears were turning in Weston Shaw's mind. 'I've already spent 1,500 dollars, so I can't ask for anything less.'
“3,000 dollars.” The moment he said that, he was even thinking of offering the chance of bargaining if the price was too high.
But before he could say anything more, Karine James had given her reply. “Fine.”
Weston Shaw hadn't expected his cousin to be so generous. He had gotten a good deal this time.
