Chapter 397: Sabotaging the Relationship

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Finn Taylor’s words stunned Yvette Larson. ‘My mother was simply against our relationship in the past, but I never thought that Mom would go so far as to befriend Melanie Taylor even while knowing that we are enemies. Yes, my mother is evil! You can object to our relationship and even dislike Finn, but how could you get close to his enemy? Finn was once your son-in-law! He was the one who gave you everything you have now. How could you kick him to the curb now that he’s outlived his usefulness?’

“Are you sure about that?” Yvette Larson asked.

“Not a hundred percent, but I am quite certain. Because it’s such an important matter, I want to get to the bottom of it.”

“Alright, let’s go home and get our answer then.”

This was crucial to Finn Taylor, as well as his wife. If her mother had truly done that, Yvette Larson would definitely teach the former a lesson and make her pay the price for it.

As Finn Taylor returned to Number One Pacific Heights, he felt as though he was dreaming. He had been through so much over the months he had spent away from the house.

Every time he was down, he would think of the memories he had made here.

Unlike the three years he had spent in the Larson family’s house, this house belonged to him and his wife. They had laughed and cried together here.

That was part of life.

“Mr. Taylor, you’re back?” Diane Taylor was excited to see her employer return.

It was alright when Yvette Larson was at home, but Linda James was sure to scold and lecture her whenever the former wasn’t around. To be honest, she felt miserable. If she were just an ordinary helper, she would’ve left.

It wouldn’t be difficult for her to find another job. After all, she was a college student and had an unbridled future. So why had she stayed here in a job that didn’t pay exceptionally well?

The reason was simple: Finn Taylor had saved her and was her benefactor. He had even helped her sister in the past. Her entire family owed it to him.

Diane Taylor wasn’t an ingrate and knew that she wouldn’t be where she was without the man. Now that Finn Taylor was in trouble, his only request was for the young girl to take care of Yvette Larson. How could she forsake her benefactor and not even do him such a small favor for the sake of her own future?

If she were to do so, she would have no future at all and would definitely hate herself for doing that.

A person’s personality determined their future, and Diane Taylor refused to be so selfish.

“Is Linda James at home?”

Yvette Larson was the one who asked the young girl that, and the latter was surprised. ‘Yvette addressed Linda James by her full name!’

“She’s upstairs.”

Yvette Larson rushed up and kicked the door open.

Her mother was in the middle of counting the wads of cash in front of her. Hearing the noise, she lifted up her head to see Finn Taylor. “W-why are you back?”

Very obviously, Linda James hadn’t expected him to return.

“Let me ask you something: Have you ever come into contact with Melanie Taylor?” Yvette Larson didn’t beat around the bush due to her desperation to know the truth.

“No, who spouted nonsense? I don’t even know her.”

“Nonsense? I have solid evidence, so stop lying. Have you met Melanie Taylor?”

Hearing that her daughter had evidence, Linda James admitted to it at once. “So what if I did? Are you going to kill me?”

“Why did you meet her?”

“What are you doing? Interrogating a suspect?”

“Just answer my question. Why did you meet Melanie Taylor? What did you guys talk about? What did you get from her? Don’t you dare miss anything out. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”

“You’ll make me regret it? I’m still your mother. What can you do to me?”

“It’s true that I can’t do much to you, but this is my house. I can always chase you out of here.”

“Chase me out? I’m your mother; I have the right to stay here. Nothing you say matters.”

“Is that so? What if I donate this house to an orphanage? I’ll move out too.”

“Is your brain fried? What’s wrong with you? Do you know how much this house costs? Why would you donate it?”

“Tell me why you met Melanie Taylor then. What did you tell her? If you don’t tell the truth, I’m really going to donate this house.”

“You must be mad. Finn Taylor, tell me. Did you put Yvette up to this? Why is she speaking to her mother like that? She was never like this in the past, but look at what’s become of her now that she’s with you.”

“Stop threatening Finn. He won’t be frightened by you. These are my words, not his.”

“Your words? Do you really want to donate this house?”

“Finn bought this house for me, but you chased him out without anything. Leaving without anything or getting a divorce didn’t mean much, but how could you get close to his enemy? I’ll feel awful staying in this house, so I have no problem with donating this house to an orphanage.”

“Finn Taylor, I hate you. How could you ask my daughter to say such things? Weren’t you the one who suggested leaving with nothing? Are you regretting your decision now? Are you trying to get the house back? How could you try to ruin my relationship with my daughter?”
