Chapter 248: Pulling Heaven Down
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Yvette Larson, we'll be frank with you. It's your husband—Finn Taylor—who offended us. You have two paths to choose from. Either you call your husband over to kneel before us, or we terminate our collaborations with the Larson family. Let's see how long your family will be able to survive without us in San Francisco.”
The Larson family was no more than a second-tier family in San Francisco. Given that both Joseph Larson and Quince Larson were already dead and that the Sullivan family had terminated their collaboration, the Larson Corporation was already on the verge of collapsing.
If these families were to end their collaborations as well, the Larson family might very well break apart.
“Yvette, you're the new family head. We're counting on you, so you can't lead us into a rut just after succeeding the position!”
The Larson family hated that Yvette Larson had become the new family head, yet they had no other choice. Hence, it was only natural for them to try to stir up trouble for Yvette Larson now that they had the chance to do so.
“That's right, Yvette—no, Ms. Larson. Since you're the family head now, this can't mean much to you. You'll definitely be able to resolve it. Ms. Larson, please let us know how long you'll take to resolve this.”
Yvette Larson had never expected this to happen. She had only just been appointed as the new family head and hadn't even settled her grandpa's funeral before encountering such trouble.
To be honest, she knew exactly what the Larson family meant: If she had the ability to resolve the matter, she had better do so. Otherwise, she had better take the initiative to step down from the position of family head.
And now, there were only two paths open to her: Firstly, to hand Finn Taylor over and let him apologize to them.
Yvette Larson would naturally never agree to that, even if her husband did.
Secondly, she could subdue all those prominent figures in front of her by using the Larson family's power.
Yvette Larson couldn't help but let out a bitter smile inwardly. 'There's no way out of this. Finn has done so much for me, so I can't just abandon him now.'
Yvette Larson stood forward and glanced at the people in front of her.
“Kevin Jones, Samuel Stone, Troy Kleine, and all of you. Listen to me—I'm declaring war against all of your families in the name of the Larson family today. How dare you threaten me? I'll take on your challenge. As long as your family remains, the Larson family will regard you as our enemies. Anyone who helps you will be our enemy as well. They'll die horrible deaths too!”
The Larson family elders had wanted Yvette Larson to resolve the trouble. Who would've thought that she hadn't managed to do so and even declared war against so many other families?
They were in deep trouble now.
“Yvette Larson, you…”
“Yvette Larson, how dare you? Are you really going to make enemies with all of us?”
“Yvette Larson, you're just a young girl who's still wet behind the ears. Even your grandpa wouldn't have dared to say such things to us while he was alive. Who are you to declare war against us?”
Kevin Jones and the rest of the men were here to threaten Yvette Larson. What they wanted to see was the young lady admitting defeat.
Who would've expected the latter to declare war against them instead?
'Is she really not afraid that we'll trample on her family? Then, the Larson family will be nothing but history in San Francisco. If that's the case, Yvette Larson will be a criminal in the Larson family's books. How will she face her ancestors when she dies then?'
The old men were all fuming, yet they had no other choice but to leave.
Of course, Yvette Larson still had the rest of her family on her back.
They had strong opinions toward Yvette Larson being the family head previously. Now, Yvette Larson had made such a decision without getting their approval. She didn't even have a discussion with them!
'What if we fail? Does she know what will happen?'
“What do you mean by this, Yvette Larson?”
“How could you make the decision to go against all these families without any discussion with us? Are you not afraid of killing us?”
“That's right. Grandpa handed you the position to lead us and bring the Larson family to new heights, not destroy the family!”
“You're a criminal—the greatest criminal the Larson family has seen!” The words that left the Larson family's mouths were as nasty as they could get.
The race had just begun. Yvette Larson hadn't even lost, yet they had already painted her as a criminal.
“Look at all of you. Do you really think of yourselves as elders? If you guys were so capable, why was the Larson Corporation forced to close down when it was in your hands? You're a bunch of useless fools. How dare you act like this now?” Just as the Larson family was reproaching Yvette Larson, Finn Taylor returned.
His words enraged the entire family, yet there was nothing they could do.
He was right. What could they possibly say to refute the truth?
“Finn Taylor, you're just a matrilocal son-in-law of our family. We're the elders here, so you're in no place to teach us a lesson.” Finally, someone could no longer take it and lashed out at him.
“Hehe! Who are you? How dare you act like an elder here? Don't you remember embezzling 30,000 dollars in that project three years ago and another 60,000 in that project last year? Do you really need me to go into more detail? I have evidence against you, you, and you. It doesn't mean that I've forgiven you just because I'm not saying anything. If you guys know what's good for you and do as Yvette says, I'll naturally let things go. But if you don't know your place and have any foolish thoughts of dragging Yvette down, you can wait to go to hell.”
Finn Taylor's earlier words held no weight, but he had caught their attention this time.
'Go to hell? We're still young and have a whole life ahead of us.' Naturally, none of them wanted to die. As such, they all shut up.
Finn Taylor looked at the people in front of him, who wisely chose to remain silent. He then turned to his wife. “Do what you want. I'll pull heaven down for you if you want.”
Everyone present stared at Finn Taylor as though he was a joke, but Yvette Larson knew that he wasn't bragging.
Finn Taylor was completely capable of doing so!
