nJoseph Larson’s car stopped at the gate of Yvette Larson’s house.

n

n

nYvette Larson’s whole family came out to greet him with wide smiles plastered on their faces.

n

n

n

n

nFinn Taylor walked over to personally open the door for his grandpa.

n

n

nUnfortunately, Joseph Larson seemed not to care a single bit; he didn’t even spare a glance at Finn Taylor. His gaze was on his eldest granddaughter, Yvette Larson, alone. “Yvette, I heard that you’re sick. I’m worried sick about you; that’s why I rushed down to see you. How are you feeling now?”

n

n

nYvette Larson felt exceptionally anxious and uneasy. She wasn’t sick to begin with. As such, she had no idea how to reply to him.

n

n

n“Grandpa, Yvette was a little feverish. She had some medication, and even though the fever has subsided, I think it’s best for her to go to the hospital. Our family doesn’t have a car…” Since neither of the other three knew how to broach the topic, Finn Taylor approached it directly.

n

n

n

n

nLinda James glared at Finn Taylor sternly. “Shut up. You’re in no place to talk around here.”

n

n

nAlthough Joseph Larson didn’t glance at him, he had heard Finn Taylor’s words and continued the conversation from there. “Yvette, I think you’d better go to the hospital.”

n

n

nYvette Larson was a little frightened but had no choice but to play along. “Grandpa, I’m feeling much better. If I’m needed at the office, I can head over to the office too.”

n

n

n“Yes, yes. We’ve run into some trouble in the office with Xander Corporation. You’d better go talk to them about it.”

n

n

n

n

nAt that moment, Finn Taylor rushed out and supported his wife. “That won’t do. Dear, you’re still so weak. You can’t go to the office. Didn’t Grandpa already hand the Xander Corporation project over to Quince Larson? Since you won’t be of any help even if you go over, you’d better rest at home.”

n

n

nFinn Taylor’s words left everyone dumbfounded.

n

n

nIt was true that his words were out of care for Yvette Larson, but even a fool could tell that his tone was sharp and that he was trying to push the blame to the Old Master, Joseph Larson.

n

n

nHe was blaming him for changing the person in charge.

n

n

n“Finn Taylor, don’t spout nonsense.” Linda James wanted to pull Finn Taylor back, but he was extraordinarily stubborn today. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t pull him away.

n

n

nJoseph Larson took all this to heart.

n

n

n

n

nOne second.

n

n

nTwo seconds.

n

n

nThree seconds.

n

n

n…

n

n

nTen seconds.

n

n

nTen seconds later, Joseph Larson finally spoke up. “Yvette, I was wrong this time. I shouldn’t have listened to Quince Larson and removed you from your role as the person in charge. If you follow me back this time, the CEO position of the Larson Corporation will be yours.”

n

n

n“You’ll be the person in charge of the Xander Corporation project as well. You’ll have the final say over who can participate in this project.”

n

n

nJoseph Larson apologized.

n

n

n

n

nYvette Larson, Francis Larson, and Linda James were left speechless.

n

n

nYvette Larson stuttered emotionally, “I-I-I’ll go back to the office now.”

n

n

nFinn Taylor opened the door of the car, allowing his wife to get in.

n

n

nAs Finn Taylor watched the car drive away, he raised his arm above his head to wave goodbye.

n

n

nAs they left, Linda James stared at Finn Taylor in disbelief, not knowing what to say.

n

n

n“Come in. You were right this time, but remember that Grandpa only came to invite Yvette over because of her capabilities. You were just lucky that you were able to guess it right.”

n

n

nFinn Taylor ignored her and walked in. He had already gotten used to such words over the past three years. Compared to these words, the betrayal of his father, mother, and younger brother was much more heartbreaking.

n

n

nA matrilocal son-in-law? That meant nothing!

n

n

nA day would come where the entire world would bow before him!

n

n

n…

n

n

nWhen Yvette Larson returned, she bought Finn Taylor a chicken drumstick for the very first time.

n

n

nFinn Taylor chomped on the drumstick delectably.

n

n

nWhen Yvette Larson glanced over, he said, “It’s delicious.”

n

n

n

n

nSeeing the innocent and pure Finn Taylor, Yvette Larson’s heart felt full.

n

n

nToday was the best day of her entire life.

n

n

nHer family was the eldest in the Larson family. However, her grandpa had always looked down on them because she was a girl. As such, their family had always been below Quince Larson’s.

n

n

nBut today, she had finally been able to drag Quince Larson from the CEO position, and she had even been able to snatch that project that their grandpa had given him away.

n

n

nShe had reclaimed everything that should’ve been hers in the first place.

n

n

nWhen she had arrived at Xander Corporation today, everyone had been exceptionally polite and courteous to her.

n

n

nYvette Larson felt like she was living a dream, and this had all begun when her spouse prevented her from getting out of the house.

n

n

nEvery step that followed was well within his plan.

n

n

n‘My accomplishments are a gift from Finn Taylor, but it’s obvious that he knows nothing. It’s only because of my own brilliance that I have achieved so much.’

n

n

n“I have a party to attend tomorrow. Do you want to go?”

n

n

nFinn Taylor nodded while chomping on his drumstick.

n

n

n“Alright. Dress up well tomorrow, and I’ll take you there.”

n

n

n…

n

n

nThe next day.

n

n

nYvette Larson brought her husband to a luxurious hotel.

n

n

nClarine Landon was already waiting for them at the hotel lobby.

n

n

nThe moment that she saw Finn Taylor, her expression soured. “Yvette, don’t tell me that you’re bringing him in?”

n

n

nClarine Landon was Yvette Larson’s best friend. Initially, Yvette Larson had invited Clarine Landon to tag along for this party, but because her husband had performed well the previous day, she had made a last-minute decision to bring him along instead.

n

n

n“Yes.”

n

n

n“Yvette Larson, are you crazy? Do you not know about his reputation?” Clarine Landon was worried sick. ‘What is wrong with Yvette Larson today? Why is she insisting on bringing this useless matrilocal son-in-law in? Is she trying to ruin her own future, or does she want to become the biggest joke in everyone’s eyes?’

n

n

n“Clarine Landon, you’re my best friend. Others can speak ill of him, but how could you? Besides, Finn Taylor is my husband. Isn’t it normal for me to bring him in? You won’t understand since you’re still single.” With that, Yvette Larson entered the hotel with her spouse.

n

n

nClarine Landon was left there staring on in disbelief.

n

n

n“Forget it; you can bring whomever you want. That’s none of my business.” Clarine Landon followed them into the luxurious hotel.

n

n

nThe trio pranced around. They never took too many steps away from the delectable dishes set up before them.

n

n

nOthers attended parties to network and socialize with other bosses so that they would be in better positions for business deals. As for the three of them, it seemed like they were here for nothing more than free food and drinks.

n

n

nAs expected, the trio’s actions soon caught the eyes of a woman.

n

n

nThat woman looked to be in her forties and was a little haggard, but the thick makeup on her face expressed her desire to maintain a youthful appearance.

n

n

nShe seemed a little sour when she spotted Yvette Larson and Clarine Landon. As such, she took the initiative to find fault with them. “Do you guys have an invitation? I see that you’ve been eating non-stop ever since you came in. Seafood, fruits, desserts, drinks… There’s nothing you haven’t eaten. Don’t tell me you guys sneaked in.”

n

n

nThe woman’s voice was loud. Of course, it was deliberate.

n

n

nAt that moment, everyone turned toward them.

n

n

nAll gazes fell on the trio of Finn Taylor, Yvette Larson, and Clarine Landon.
