nOf course, the ones who had gotten out of the four Rolls-Royce Phantoms were none other than Logan Yeats, Hunter Sullivan, Alexander Scott, and Zachary Kennedy.
nThe four of them had just witnessed how vicious Finn Taylor could get a few days earlier. Naturally, not a single one of them dared to remain at home once they heard that their master had been angered.
n
n
nThey had all hurried here in fear. No matter what had happened and whether it had anything to do with them, the first thing they had to do was apologize to Finn Taylor.
nAnd their apology left Gregory Jensen dumbfounded. Earlier, he had been sure that the one they had been talking about was the plump man.
nBut he was wrong! The one he couldn’t afford to offend was Finn Taylor!
nThings were getting awkward now.
n
n
nFinn Taylor scoffed. “How early. I’m about to get chased out, and he has already asked me to scram!”
n‘That isn’t right. We clearly told Gregory Jensen to treat him well, so how dare he offend Finn Taylor?’
nGregory Jensen was on the brink of tears. “I… Sirs, this is just a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding.”
nGregory Jensen forced a smile out as he tried to defend himself. However, the four guardians refused to hear him out.
n
n
nThey picked up their phones, and each said something into their phones. Then, more than a hundred people arrived at Gregory Mall.
nOf course, they packed the mall to full capacity.
nGregory Jensen’s face fell as he watched the scene play out, but he was a vicious man. He wasn’t going to give up just like that, so he fell on his knees before Finn Taylor. “I was wrong, sir. I’m begging you to please let me off. I was wrong. I was blind not to have recognized you. Please let me live.”
nFinn Taylor allowed Gregory Jensen to go on for more than half an hour before he finally spoke up. “It wasn’t a big deal to begin with since it was only a misunderstanding, but your manager—Tom Hadley—had a grudge against this lady and was trying to take his revenge. Thus, he pushed all the blame to her. I asked him to get the surveillance footage so we could see what had happened, but he refused. That was why I had no choice but to get the four of them to get you here so that you could settle the matter. However, I never expected you to let me down too.”
nFinn Taylor sighed.
nThis sigh made Hunter Sullivan step up, and he landed a resounding slap on Gregory Jensen’s face.
n
n
nHunter Sullivan’s prowess was undeniable—that was how he had become a guardian of Peregrine Hall.
nWith just a single slap, Gregory Jensen’s face had swelled up. Of course, the latter didn’t dare to utter so much as a word.
nHe could only receive his punishment in silence, but he was naturally worlds apart from Finn Taylor.
nThe latter didn’t even bother about him and simply took Clarine Landon and left.
nWhile that was the case, this matter hadn’t yet been resolved. There was no way the four guardians were going to let Gregory Jensen off so easily, but they eventually spared his life after the latter had begged for his life fervently.
n“Tom Hadley, you b*stard! You ruined my life, so you’d better scram! You’re fired, and you’re not going to find another job in your life! If you ever do, I’ll hang myself!”
nTom Hadley panicked as soon as he heard that. He fell on his knees and kowtowed as he begged for mercy.
nUnfortunately, none of that was of any use.
n
n
nHis situation was different from Gregory Jensen. The latter had only misidentified Finn Taylor, while the former had purposely put him in a difficult spot.
nThere was no way Gregory Jensen would forgive someone as stupid as him.
nIn the end, everyone’s gaze fell on that plump man.
nHe was the cause of the whole incident. If not for him, they never would’ve offended Finn Taylor, much less cause such a ruckus.
nHunter Sullivan waved his hand, and more than a hundred men in black turned up to drag that plump man away.
nOf course, nobody in the crowd had any sympathy for the latter.
nWithout even needing anyone to remind them, they obediently deleted the recordings from their phones. This naturally included the videos they had sent to their friends.
nIf even Gregory Jensen couldn’t afford to offend them, who were they to offend them?
n…
nFinn Taylor walked out of the mall with Clarine Landon.
nThe latter quickly thanked him awkwardly. “Thanks.”
nFinn Taylor smiled cooly. “Let’s go to the hospital to visit Yvette.”
nPreviously, Frida Cameron had gotten someone to beat Yvette Larson up. Although the latter had only suffered superficial injuries, her husband had insisted on her being warded and observed, and she was still in the hospital to this day.
n
n
n“I’m going to get some fruit. I haven’t been there in two days.” The pair then bought some fruit before heading to St. Cloud Hospital.
nAnd it was there that Finn Taylor bumped into two people—Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson.
nThey, too, had fruit in their hands.
nFinn Taylor rolled his eyes. ‘There’s no way these two people are here to visit Yvette. They’re here to make a mockery of her.’
n“Oh, it’s good to see you here, Finn Taylor. Come on; lead the way. I heard that Yvette was hospitalized, so I’m here to visit her as the family head.”
n‘Family head.’ Finn Taylor rolled his eyes yet again. ‘How shameless could Quince Larson get to use that title for himself?’
nYet, he had no intention of paying any attention to Quince Larson. He simply walked off.
nAs for Quince Larson, he quickly stepped behind Finn Taylor as though the latter was leading the way for him.
nEven such a lame and childish act satisfied him.
nVery quickly, they arrived at Yvette Larson’s ward.
nWhen she spotted her husband with her cousins, she couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.
n“Yvette, I heard that you were hospitalized. As the family head, it’s my duty to check on how you’re doing.”
nYvette Larson rolled her eyes at Quince Larson’s concern too. She was rendered speechless by his behavior too.
n“Yvette, why don’t you tell us what happened? Did someone bully you? Why don’t you tell the family head what happened?” Ever since he had earned the title of temporary family head, Quince Larson had started regarding himself as an important figure. However, everyone knew that he was useless and knew nothing in reality.
nYet, he still thought highly of himself and was even trying to dip his hands in everything. In fact, he could never go three sentences without mentioning the words ‘family head’ as though he was afraid others wouldn’t know of his title.
nEleanor Larson’s heart felt at ease as she glanced at the injuries on her cousin’s face. ‘How I wish that Yvette had been disfigured instead.’
n“Yvette Larson, don’t tell me that you’re having an affair! Who could’ve beaten you up like this?”
