The shareholders’ meeting began with Finn Taylor at the head of the table and his wife by his side.

The rest then took their seats.

“We called for a meeting today to make an announcement. You all know that this company belonged to the Larson family and that everyone here acquired shares when the company ran into some financial difficulties. Since the company belongs to the family, it should eventually go back to them. Name a price.”

The four guardians pretended to be shocked upon hearing Finn Taylor’s words. “You’re buying our shares? That won’t be easy. When we bought them, the company was in dire straits. But look at how successful the company is now.”

It seemed as though they were reluctant to give up their shares.

Finn Taylor chuckled. “That’s alright. It’s just a matter of money, isn’t it? Any problem that can be solved with money isn’t a problem. I’ll buy the shares from you for twice the market price. How’s that?”

The men’s eyes reddened. “Twice the market price? Hold on. Let us discuss this.”

The four guardians pretended to discuss the matter among themselves. Following that, Hunter Sullivan spoke up. “Alright, we’ve decided to sell the shares to you. However, you have to pay us right away.”

“Of course. I never owe anyone anything.” Finn Taylor wrote each of the four guardians a contract, and they agreed to transfer ownership of the shares straight away.

“Alright, let’s talk about how to distribute the shares then. Yvette, my suggestion is to hand it all to Dad. This is the Larson family’s company, and Dad is the eldest son of the family. It’s only right that he inherits the company.”

Both Linda James and Francis Larson were shocked.

“No, Finn. What are you saying? Transferring all the shares to him?” Linda James pointed at her husband in disbelief. She had married a good-for-nothing, but he was going to become a director in his old age?!

“Yes. Since this is the Larson Corporation, it makes sense for the eldest son to have it.”

“Hold on. I want some shares too. I’m the eldest daughter-in-law of the Larson family.” For some strange reason, Linda James butted in.

“No, Mom. There’s no need to split them. Isn’t it the same for Dad to have them all?”

Linda James shook her head. “No, that’s different. If I get a divorce from him, the shares will all be under his name. I won’t get a single cent.”

Those words stunned Francis Larson. “What? What are you saying? We’ve been married for so many years, and Yvette is all grown up. Why would we get a divorce?”

Linda James was indignant. “I’ve seen people in their nineties getting divorced.”

“Fine. Stop arguing. Dad will get 51% of the shares, and you’ll get 49%. Will that do?”

Linda James wanted to question why she was getting fewer shares than her husband, but she immediately shut up when her daughter glared at her.

…

The meeting ended, and Linda James immediately looked for her friends.

Finn Taylor knew that she was going to brag to everyone about how she now held shares to the company and was rich.

Finn Taylor was pleased—this was exactly what he wanted.

If she didn’t spread the word, he would have to do it himself.

“Let’s go visit Clarine.”

Yvette Larson packed up and followed her husband out. For some reason, she felt that the latter was up to something. Although she didn’t understand it, it didn’t stop her from putting full trust in him.

Very quickly, they arrived at their destination.

When they arrived, the Landon family was savoring some imported fruits.

Finn Taylor didn’t ask before he picked one up and handed it to his spouse. He then took one for himself.

He sat down and turned to Clarine Landon. “I need some help.”

The latter was slightly confused. “What help do you need?”

“I need you to get into a fight with her.” Finn Taylor pointed at his wife sitting next to him.

“Huh?” Both of them were stunned. ‘This… What is going on?’

“Why should we get into a fight?”

“To end your friendship.”

Neither of them understood him. ‘We have such a great relationship, so why is Finn trying to break us apart?’

“Fine, we’ll do just that.”

Clarine Landon was still in a daze, but her best friend had already caught on. “Are you dealing with Willow now?”

“Since she has already shown her hand, we can’t just wait for her to make her move.”

Yvette Larson knew that her husband wasn’t one to be bullied.

“What’s going on, Yvette?”

“I don’t know either, but I think it’s best if we listen to Finn and think of a way to break up our relationship in public.”

Clarine Landon had no idea what her best friend’s husband was up to, but she chose to believe in Yvette Larson and eventually agreed.

…

The next day.

Yvette Larson and Clarine Landon agreed to go out together on a shopping trip.

The best friends eventually walked into a bubble tea shop, and each ordered a different drink before sitting down to chat.

All of a sudden, Yvette Larson slammed her fist down on the table, and Clarine Landon splashed the cup of tea in her hand on the other.

Yvette Larson then slapped her best friend in the face.

Just like that, the pair were locked in a fight.

Onlookers were stumped, and the staff quickly stepped forward to try to break up the fight. However, nobody dared to offend these two influential figures of San Francisco.

Although they eventually managed to break up the fight, the two friends were still shouting at each other, eventually going dutch on their drinks.

Within five minutes, the whole of San Francisco had caught wind of this.

No more than ten minutes later, someone opened the door to Willow Stone’s office. Her assistant played the video of the two friends fighting.

Initially, Willow Stone had been rather annoyed with her assistant. The latter shouldn’t have barged in during her meeting, but she rewarded her assistant the moment she watched the video.

She waved, gesturing for everyone else to leave. With that, she was left alone in the conference room.

She replayed the video over and over again—nearly 30 times. In the end, she let out a chuckle. “Great. Yvette Larson, you’re a traitor. Just wait to die.”

With that, she stood up and headed for Quince Larson’s company.

The latter naturally disgusted her, but she had no choice but to enlist his help in order to deal with Yvette Larson.
