Chapter 358: Meeting Willow Stone

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Finn Taylor didn’t want to say much to the lady in front. She was filled with too many prejudices against him, so there was no way of communicating with her even after she calmed down.

When Finn Taylor returned home, he opened the box to see its contents. But when he caught sight of the content, all sorts of emotions surged up in his heart.

It was a photo of Wendy Jensen being kidnapped. That mother of his—who had always been biased toward his younger brother—had been kidnapped.

Finn Taylor wasn’t sad, nor was he worried. He didn’t even know how he was feeling.

Ding-dong!

Right then, the doorbell rang.

He put away the box and opened the door to find Michelle Yeller standing outside.

“Thank you for your help last time, Mr. Taylor. This is for you.” Michelle Yeller handed a mug to him. It was blue and looked like a couple’s mug.

‘If I’m not wrong, she probably has a pink one at home. Sigh.’ Finn Taylor sighed inwardly. ‘It’s obvious that she likes me. Unfortunately, I can’t give her anything. There’s only one person in my heart, and I’ll never forget about her.’

“That…”

Finn Taylor didn’t want to accept it, but the young girl let out a pitiful expression. “What, do you not like it because it’s too cheap?”

Now that she had already said so, Finn Taylor couldn’t refuse her and could only accept the gift.

“Mr. Taylor, Josie bumped into you again earlier. She…”

“Forget it. I don’t hold grudges with women.”

“Haha. You’re so magnanimous, Mr. Taylor.”

‘Magnanimous? I’ve never thought of myself as magnanimous. It’s just that I can’t be bothered with such trivial matters. If I did, so many people would’ve died in the past three years.’

“I made some barbecued ribs tonight. I’d like you to have some,” said the young girl shyly.

Finn Taylor knew that he couldn’t give the other any more hope. “I’m busy tonight.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know. Go ahead and do whatever you need to do then.”

Finn Taylor wasn’t lying. Although he didn’t like Wendy Jensen, she was still his mother after all.

He had to save her.

“I won’t disturb you then, Mr. Taylor. I’ll leave,” Michelle Yeller said before leaving.

Finn Taylor sighed and packed up the place before heading out too.

What he didn’t know was that Michelle Yeller was leaning against the door, observing him through the peephole.

When she returned home earlier, her roommate had seen how dejected she was. Therefore, she told the latter about everything that had happened.

Josie Meyer couldn’t help but chide the other again. “Michelle, have you really gone mad? Why do you like that man? Don’t you see that he’s a cheater? Do you really think he was telling you the truth? I’m sure he was just lying to you.”

But Michelle Yeller didn’t believe her friend. ‘Finn Taylor is probably busy.’

She peered through the peephole and saw Finn Taylor leaving the house.

“He’s leaving the house. He didn’t lie to me!” Michelle Yeller was obviously excited as she pointed outside. “He’s going out. See, I told you that Mr. Taylor wouldn’t lie to me. He’s really leaving the house.”

“Tch.” No matter how Josie Meyer looked at Finn Taylor, the latter seemed like a bad guy to her. Hence, nothing her friend said mattered.

After Finn Taylor left his apartment, he headed for Andre Cavill’s bar.

The latter had already cleared the place in advance, and the four guardians had already arrived as well.

Finn Taylor had initially wanted to meet the four guardians at Hunter Sullivan’s residence, but the latter lived at Pacific Heights.

It was better to stay away from the area for the time being, so the group ended up meeting at Andre Cavill’s bar.

Finn Taylor took the photo out as they gathered around to analyze it.

“Wendy Jensen has been kidnapped?” Hunter Sullivan could hardly believe his eyes.

“That’s right. They’ve only given me this photo without any other requests. What do you think I should do?” Finn Taylor threw the venue into silence.

Everyone knew that the mother-son duo didn’t get along. However, Wendy Jensen was indeed Finn Taylor’s mother.

That was an undeniable fact. As such, neither decision seemed right.

The only solution was to listen to Finn Taylor and do whatever he wanted them to do.

Master Peregrine had naturally already expected the silence, and he wouldn’t put them in a difficult spot. “Why don’t we talk about how to save her?”

Hearing this, the group had an idea of their boss’s choice.

Horned Serpent was the first to speak up. “If we want to come up with a plan, we first have to be sure about who kidnapped her.”

Horned Serpent was right.

Hunter Sullivan spoke up too. “Actually, there are only those few families that can do it. Given Quince Larson’s abilities, there’s no way he’d be able to kidnap Wendy Jensen. Gremlin is powerful enough, but I doubt he’d dare to do it. After all, he grew up in the Taylor family. He wouldn’t dare to do anything to the matriarch of the family. That leaves us with only one person—Melanie Taylor.”

Logan Yeats shook his head in disagreement. “There’s one more—Willow Stone.”

“Willow Stone?” Everyone turned to Logan Yeats. ‘Why would he suddenly bring Willow Stone up?’

“I’ve gotten some leads on her. Her family in Europe is powerful and has vast connections. She’s probably capable of doing this. Besides, I think she is plotting something against Master Peregrine. It’s possible that she’s using this to threaten him.”

Finn Taylor couldn’t deny that they made sense.

Eventually, they narrowed their suspects down to two women—Melanie Taylor and Willow Stone.

“Go investigate Melanie Taylor. I’ll go look for Willow Stone.” With that, he left.

He arrived at Rocky Hills Hotel, where Willow Stone was staying.

She had previously been staying in the same hotel as the Taylor siblings but didn’t want to be recognized, so she moved out.

Finn Taylor knocked on the room door.

He heard a voice coming from inside. “Who’s that?”

“Me.” He said only one word, but it was enough to make the woman’s jaw drop.

Willow Stone was in a daze, wondering if she was dreaming. It seemed as though she had heard something she shouldn’t have. ‘Is he here?’

She pushed the door open, and just as expected, it was Finn Taylor.

“W-why are you here?”

Finn Taylor walked into her room.

Willow Stone was clearly shaken and swallowed her saliva before shutting the door.. The next second, she was pinned to the wall by the man.
