Everyone in the James family understood exactly what Finn Taylor meant by that. That was why they didn’t even dare to take a deep breath.

All eyes were pinned on Lucy Williams.

“Finn Taylor, you’re too much. Do you really expect an old woman like me to kneel before you?”

Finn Taylor sneered. “Do you think that you hold no responsibility in this matter? They’re all sons and daughters of the James family. Linda James couldn’t even attend your birthday celebrations. Although the two families hid it from you, didn’t you tacitly agree to it? They’re all your grandchildren, but you didn’t even ask about Yvette in your call. I thought that you’d at least say something in person, but you didn’t even ask about her.”

“But look at how concerned you are about Karine James and Weston Shaw. You’re even willing to come all the way here for their sakes.. The James family looks harmonious, but there are deep-seated grudges that led to where we are today. And you’re the culprit!”

Lucy Williams’s face was flushed red. She wanted to beat Finn Taylor up, but Henry James spoke up the moment she moved.

“Mom…”

Karen James spoke up too. “Mom, if you don’t kneel down today, your grandson will be done for.”

Lucy Williams shook her head in disappointment.

She regretted everything. The moment she said those words, she knew that she’d made a mistake. ‘Just like what Finn Taylor said, I have made a grave mistake. It’s true that Karine and Weston hold special places in my heart.’

Thud!

The old lady fell to the ground—she had kneeled down.

The atmosphere was tense.

Linda James, Francis Larson, and Yvette Larson stole glances at Finn Taylor. Even they were curious about what he was going to do.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Finn Taylor drummed his fingers on the chair repeatedly.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Finn Taylor picked up his phone and said only three words: “Let them go.”

…

By the time Henry James’s family returned home, Karine James was already there.

Her clothes were disheveled, and there were scratches all over her body. Her gaze was empty, and her lips were quivering.

Seeing Henry James walk in, she retreated in fear.

The former’s heart broke when he saw his daughter in this state. Yet, he knew that he’d never be able to get revenge for his daughter—not in this lifetime.

…

When Karen James’s family returned home, they were greeted by the sight of their son—Weston Shaw—lying on the ground with all his limbs broken.

Weston Shaw was destined to spend the rest of his life bedridden. It’d be a challenge to even sit on a wheelchair.

…

As the old lady—Lucy Williams—returned home, she was still in a daze. She dug out a photo of her late husband and sobbed.

Tears fell on the photo frame. “Old man, I was wrong. We were wrong from the very beginning. We forgot who the Old Master of the Larson family was. He didn’t even falter when going against the Sanders family of San Francisco. He managed to lead his family away from the Sanders family without fear that they would come at him. How could he have made a wrong call?”

“That was his last command before passing on. Even when everyone else was against it, he insisted that Finn Taylor marry into the family. How could Finn Taylor possibly be bad? Everyone thought that it was Finn Taylor who brought the family bad luck when the Old Master passed on three days after their wedding, but the Old Master’s days were already numbered. He probably endured it so that he could witness the wedding.”

Now, Lucy Williams understood everything. She had lived a glorious life as a prominent figure too.

Today, all her doubts had been answered. Yet, it was all too late.

…

Finn Taylor’s family of four returned to San Francisco after having one last meal with Chloe Yeats.

Yvette Larson stretched lazily upon reaching, and her husband chuckled sinisterly.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Nothing much.” As soon as Finn Taylor finished his sentence, someone knocked on their door.

‘Huh? Who’d be able to knock on our door?’

Number One Pacific Heights was private property, and outsiders weren’t allowed in unless they were of the same status as the owner of Number One Pacific Heights.

As soon as Yvette Larson opened the door, she spotted a besuited young man.

“Hello, Ms. Yvette Larson. Let me introduce myself; I’m Willis Rune.” With that, he handed her a name card.

Yvette Larson took a glance at it. ‘Professional investor? I don’t think I know anyone like that. Why would he be looking for me?’

“May I enter, Ms. Larson?”

‘Finn is at home. I have nothing to worry about.’ Yvette Larson gave it some thought. “Come on in!”

Willis Rune entered, and Finn Taylor came out of the room as well.

The two nodded at each other, acting as though they didn’t know each other.

“Ms. Larson, our company acquired a company—the Larson Corporation—just yesterday.”

Yvette Larson was dumbfounded. ‘The Larson Corporation? Did Quince Larson sell the company? But that makes sense. Without the Sullivan family, the Larson Corporation’s business will only go downhill. It’d be better to sell it now since it’ll go bankrupt eventually. With the proceeds, Quince Larson will probably live well for a long time.’

“Ms. Larson, you were once the Larson Corporation’s CEO and performed exceedingly well in the project with the Sullivan family. We’ve decided to hire you as the Larson Corporation’s chairman. Will you accept our offer?” As Willis Rune said so, he took out a contract from his briefcase.

It was perfectly normal for an investor to find someone else to manage the company for him. However, Yvette Larson had never expected herself to be the one managing the company!

She glared at Finn Taylor and asked, “Does this have anything to do with you?”

“Huh? They acquired the company yesterday.”

‘Hmm… Finn was with me in Los Angeles when they acquired the company. Besides, I have seen the shareholders of the Larson Corporation. Willis Rune holds 100% of the company’s shares.’ It seems like Finn isn’t lying to me.’ After giving it deep thought, Yvette Larson eventually signed off on the contract.

“We’ll be holding our first meeting the day after tomorrow. Please remember to attend it, Ms. Larson.”

After sending Willis Rune off, Yvette Larson nearly leaped three meters into the air as she held the contract. “Dear, I’m going to be the Larson Corporation’s chairman!”

“Yes, you’re awesome!”

Yvette Larson glanced at her husband, feeling as though there was something amiss in her husband’s words. However, she couldn’t put her finger on it.
