Chapter 207: Career First
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Weston Shaw realized that he had made easy money this time. He had never expected Karine James to be so vicious toward his cousin.
It had pained him to spend 1,500 dollars, yet his cousin had spent 3,000 dollars without any hesitation. She really intended to kill the other!
Karine James hated Yvette Larson—she hated the latter to her guts! Ever since she was young, she had always been suppressed by the latter, but the latter had married a useless matrilocal son-in-law while she had found such an outstanding man like Nathan Yeats.
She had thought that this was her chance to one-up the other. As such, she had gone all-out in showing off and boasting about her lifestyle.
But things had reached this stage today.
Yvette Larson had been invited to a meal with Chloe Yeats. On the other hand, her boyfriend had initiated a break-up with her!
It felt like Yvette Larson had slapped her in the face, so she wanted the former to die a horrible death.. Even if she had to sell all her assets, she would be willing to do so as long as her cousin was dead.
“Karine, do you really want to kill Yvette Larson?” Even Henry James was scared by the murderous intent his daughter was exuding.
“Dad, are you really going to do nothing after your daughter was bullied?”
“Of course not, but I want to ask you something. Won't you be implicated if something happens to Yvette Larson?”
“What could happen to me? Won't someone take the fall for me if something really happens?”
Henry James knew who his daughter was talking about—Weston Shaw. 'It isn't that bad of an idea to make that rascal take the blame.'
In the villa.
Yvette Larson was browsing through the bags that her husband had bought. Now, she was spoiled for choice.
“Finn, don't just stand there. Help me make a decision. Which should I bring when I visit my mom's hometown tomorrow?”
The James family's hometown wasn't in the city but in the suburbs. The family had only moved into the city after making some money a few years ago.
Yvette Larson didn't have much nostalgia for Los Angeles. It was the suburbs where she spent her summer vacation, often spending up to a month there.
She had deep feelings for that place.
“This one.”
It was the 50,000-dollar bag that Finn Taylor chose. It wasn't because it was the most expensive one but because it was of the same design as the one he had given his wife the first time around.
This was something that money couldn't buy.
“Alright—this one it is. Oh right! You don't have to go back with me tomorrow if you're busy since I'm just going back to take a look. There's nothing interesting about the old residence anyway. You don't have to go.”
Chloe Yeats had invited her husband for coffee the next day. Although Yvette Larson didn't know what they were going to discuss, she believed that it was important to her spouse.
Chloe Yeats's business was massive. While Finn Taylor seemed respected, he didn't have a company of his own.
Yvette Larson hoped that he would learn from the other and establish a company of his own. Of course, she had no idea that Finn Taylor owned a company—one that was much larger than she could imagine.
“It's fine; I can meet Chloe Yeats at any time. Since you're going back, I have to go with you.”
“No. Men should prioritize their careers.” Although Yvette Larson was delighted by her husband's words, she pretended to be irked and requested that her husband meet Chloe Yeats to discuss business matters instead.
“Finn, you guys may be friends, but business is about trust. Since you've already promised her, you must keep your word.”
Seeing the seriousness on his wife's face, Finn Taylor couldn't help but chuckle. Eventually, he decided to accede to his wife's request.
“Fine; I'll meet Chloe Yeats tomorrow. You'd better be careful when going back to the old residence alone.”
“I'll be fine. Mom will be going back with me.”
Finn Taylor nodded. 'If Yvette were to return alone, I'd be worried that the villagers would bully my wife. However, there's no need to worry if Linda James is returning with her. In fact, it would be good enough if the villagers weren't bullied by the mother-daughter duo.'
The next day, the couple went their separate ways.
Finn Taylor headed to a cafe, while Yvette Larson headed to the family's old residence in the suburbs.
Of course, Chloe Yeats had already reserved the entire cafe. Only she and Finn Taylor were in the cafe.
The staff in the cafe naturally recognized such a prominent figure. As such, they were incredibly curious as to who the man was for her to book the entire cafe. However, nobody dared to eavesdrop on the conversation no matter how curious they were.
That would simply be seeking death.
“I want to sell the company and move abroad,” Chloe Yeats suddenly spat out.
“To find Mars for me?” Finn Taylor could read the other's mind at once.
Chloe Yeats pursed her lips but remained silent.
“Chloe, I know what you're thinking of. You want to go abroad and find Mars for me. Then, I wouldn't leave you, and you'd be able to stay by my side as my woman. But you have to keep in mind that I have a wife. I treat you as my friend, nothing more. Besides, do you really think you'd be able to find Mars? It'd be good enough if you don't get killed outside.”
Chloe Yeats had only said one sentence, yet she had been completely exposed by Finn Taylor.
She was at a loss for words.
“Focus on your business and expand it. Consolidate your power. I'll naturally let you know when I need you.”
Chloe Yeats had no choice but to nod.
“Do you already have someone?” Finn Taylor suddenly asked.
Chloe Yeats nodded and said to the waiter, “Bring him over.”
With that, the waiter quickly headed to a room. Not long after, he returned with another.
This man was plump and looked like he weighed at least 180 pounds. This man was none other than Brother Dan.
“Ms. Yeats.” Of course, Brother Dan was nowhere as arrogant as he had been just a few days earlier at the pool hall. He couldn't help but humble himself in front of her, but that was only normal. After all, he was facing the biggest boss of Los Angeles—Chloe Yeats.
He would be tempting fate if he were to act high and mighty in front of her.
'Mr. Taylor.” Chloe Yeats gestured toward the other and introduced him.
'Mr. Taylor,” Brother Dan echoed.
She then added, “He's my boss.”
That nearly scared Brother Dan to death. He was just shy of kneeling down because he felt that he hadn't been sincere enough earlier.
