nAfter Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson had gone out earlier, Linda James had been thinking about it. After a long while, she decided that her son-in-law had to transfer ownership of the house over to her daughter. Otherwise, this house would always be Finn Taylor’s.

n‘If the couple gets divorced, our family will never get a share of the house. In fact, what will happen if Finn Taylor chases us out even if he doesn’t get divorced?’

nFinn Taylor had bought this house for his wife, intending for them to live alone. However, Linda James had refused to leave.

nSince his spouse hadn’t said anything, Finn Taylor naturally said nothing as well.

nHowever, Linda James was afraid that he would kick her out one day. As such, she was trying to make her son-in-law transfer ownership of the house.

nBut just because she was insensible didn’t mean that her daughter was as well. “Mom, could you stop talking about that?”

nJust then, Yvette Larson’s phone rang—it was Quince Larson.

n‘From the call, it seems like Grandpa is looking for me to discuss an important matter. I have to rush down to the office right away.’ Yvette Larson had no time to waste on her mother and simply left.

nAs for Finn Taylor, he simply left Diane Taylor with a few instructions before leaving with his wife.

nSeeing that her son-in-law was gone and that she failed in her mission, Linda James vented her anger on Diane Taylor. “What are you looking at? You’d better hurry up and get down to work. I think Finn Taylor must be crazy to offer you 3,000 dollars a month.”

nFollowing that, Linda James simply sat there, complaining nonstop about how unfair this whole situation was.

nOf course, Diane Taylor was terrified and didn’t dare to rebut her. All she could do was get down to work.

nSuddenly, Linda James thought of something. “Don’t tell me that you’re Finn Taylor’s mistress. Why else would he be in such a hurry to bring you home? Even if he’s looking for a helper, he shouldn’t offer such a high salary. That’s right; you must be Finn Taylor’s mistress!”

nDiane Taylor could ignore everything else Linda James said about her, but she wasn’t going to take this lying down. ‘Linda James is clearly denigrating me and smearing my name!’

n“No, I’m not!” Thinking about how she had been bullied earlier in the day, tears welled up in Diane Taylor’s eyes.

n“If you’re not, why would you get so worked up? Why are you crying? I bet I’m right!” Linda James landed a slap on the other’s face.

n…

nAs Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson arrived at the office, they felt that the atmosphere was strange.

nEven Eleanor Larson wasn’t as arrogant as her usual self, and neither did she dare to mock the couple.

nYvette Larson couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened to the company. She walked into her office, where Joseph Larson and Quince Larson were already waiting.

nWhat surprised Yvette Larson was that her grandpa stood up the moment she walked in.

nEven though Quince Larson was initially reluctant, he was left with no choice but to stand as well once his grandpa stood up.

n“Grandpa, are you looking for me?” Yvette Larson sat down on her chair while her husband took a seat on the sofa by the side.

nYvette Larson was nervous and asked, “Grandpa, what’s wrong? You can tell me if anything’s wrong.”

nAfter giving it some thought, Joseph Larson still told the truth.

nAfter the gathering at Finn Taylor’s house, Joseph Larson had been enraged by his eldest granddaughter.

nQuince Larson had only added fuel to the fire by saying that Yvette Larson was an outsider. Since she was now married to Finn Taylor, she was no longer a Larson even though the latter was a matrilocal son-in-law. As such, they couldn’t afford to let Yvette Larson remain as the person-in-charge of the project with the Sullivan family.

nIt was because they had changed the project’s person-in-charge before they had started that they had drawn ire.

nBut this time, Hunter Sullivan would definitely respect Joseph Larson as long as he personally talked it out with him.

nWith Quince Larson’s coaxing, Joseph Larson finally bought into it and headed to Xander Corporation with his grandson.

nIn fact, they had even managed to get a meeting with Hunter Sullivan. However, the latter refused to allow a change in the project’s person-in-charge.

nHe wanted to terminate the project.

nThis project was an important one to the Larson family. To prevent cash flow problems, the Larson family had even stopped all other projects to focus on this collaboration with the Sullivan family.

nBut now, this project was going to be terminated too.

nThe Sullivan family had already thrown their money into the project. If they delayed it and didn’t get their money back, it would be the Sullivan family at a loss in the end. Even such a prestigious family would be on the verge of breaking down then.

nIt was the thought of this that Joseph Larson had no choice but to beg his eldest granddaughter for help.

nOnly Yvette Larson would be able to convince the Sullivan family to change their minds. The only one who could save the Larson family was her.

nFinn Taylor couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard the Old Master’s words. “How interesting. Grandpa, didn’t you say that you were going to choose your successor based on our achievements? Why are you going back on your word so quickly?”

nQuince Larson flew into a rage when he saw that even Finn Taylor dared to speak ill of his grandpa. “Finn Taylor, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to Grandpa like that?”

nYvette Larson shot Quince Larson a deadly glare. “Is Finn wrong?”

nShe then let out a fake smile. “Don’t you think so, Grandpa?”

nJoseph Larson had been humiliated today, but he had no other choice. He had brought this upon himself. If he hadn’t listened to Quince Larson, none of this would’ve happened.

n“Yes,” answered Joseph Larson quietly. He didn’t want to say anything else.

nYvette Larson turned to her cousin. “Did you hear that, Quince? Grandpa has admitted to it. I want you to apologize to Finn.”

n‘Apologize to Finn Taylor? You might as well just kill me. Finn Taylor, who are you? You’re just a matrilocal son-in-law and a piece of trash! In contrast, I’m the heir to the Larson family. If I apologize to him today, this will be a stain on my life!’

nYvette Larson drummed her fingers against the table.

nAs for Finn Taylor, his eyes were fixed on Quince Larson.

nIt felt like they were trying to kill each other with their gazes. Neither was willing to compromise.

nAll that could be heard in the room was Yvette Larson tapping the table.

nTap! Tap! Tap!

nEvery tap felt like a hammer hitting against Joseph Larson’s heart. Eventually, he broke down.

nHe threw a glance at his grandson. “Apologize.”
