Chapter 93: Heartless Thing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After sending Clarine Landon to her residence, the couple returned home.

Even after arriving home, Yvette Larson couldn’t put her mind to rest. As such, she called her husband up to her room. “Finn, how are you going to solve this problem? We’ve told so many people about the house. Won’t it be embarrassing for me if our lies are exposed?”

Finn Taylor couldn’t help but chuckle upon seeing her worry-filled face. “Silly, Don’t worry about this. I’ve already bought the house, and it’s undergoing renovations now. We’ll be able to move out and enjoy time together with just the two of us.”

Finn Taylor had already instructed Wampus to settle anything regarding the house for him.

The house that he had purchased was none other than the first villa at Pacific Heights. It was also the most expensive and luxurious house in all of San Francisco.

Since Finn Taylor had already made a promise to his wife, he wasn’t going to go back on his word.

“What? You guys bought a house?” Someone pushed the door open just then, and Linda James rushed in. She had initially come to call Finn Taylor downstairs to start cooking. Who would’ve expected that she would overhear such a huge secret?

“Yvette, where did you get the money to buy a house? Did you embezzle money from the company again?” Linda James had already had the suspicion that her daughter had embezzled money from the company to buy her car.

After all, Yvette Larson was the Larson Corporation’s Deputy CEO. She would leave a better impression on others if she were to drive a better car to business meetings.

That was why she felt that the Old Master would turn a blind eye to it.

But Linda James hadn’t expected her daughter to embezzle even more money in such a short period of time. Moreover, this was to buy a house!?‘That isn’t a small sum at all! If the Old Master finds out about that, he might very well kill our entire family.’

“I…” Yvette Larson didn’t know what to say.?‘I just found out about the house. If I were to say that Finn paid for the house, my mother would never believe me anyway.’

“Oh, I know! Do you think that I’m bullying you by making you cook here? Is that why you want to move out to avoid me? Finn Taylor, oh Finn Taylor. I never thought that you were such a heartless thing. You can just let me know if you hate me. Why did you force Yvette to embezzle money from the company? Do you know how Quince Larson and the rest will deal with Yvette once they find out about this? Yvette might very well have to go to jail. Is that how you repay the Larson family? By making Yvette spend the rest of her life in jail?”

Linda James was very agitated; she felt that she had already guessed the truth. There was no other possibility she could think of.

“Mom, it’s not what you think.” Yvette Larson tried to explain, but she found no way of explaining where the money had come from.

“Mom, we bought a second-hand property. It didn’t cost much, and the money came from our own savings. Yvette didn’t take a cent from the company.”

Finally, Linda James calmed down a little after hearing that.

Although Finn Taylor had forked out the entire sum alone, his money was no different from his wife’s money in his heart. As such, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with saying that they had both paid for the house.

While that was what Finn Taylor thought, Linda James clearly thought differently. “What do you mean ‘your shared savings?’ Yvette has worked so hard over the past three years, but you’ve done nothing at home. Have you ever worked or earned a single cent? Don’t tell me that you were siphoning money from the money I gave you for groceries! Oh, no wonder I always thought that we weren’t getting good dishes. You were stealing all the money for yourself!”

Linda James was truly maligning Finn Taylor.

‘How could 200 dollars be enough to feed a family of four? Besides, shouldn’t she look at what we’ve been eating? We always have meat, fish, seafood, and vegetables. There’s no way we would’ve been able to eat such good food with only 200 dollars a month. Finn must’ve forked out a lot of money, yet she’s accusing him of stealing money!’?

Because of this, Yvette Larson could no longer hold it in.

“Alright, Mom. Can you stop? We aren’t asking you for any money for this house, and neither did I steal from the company. Please get out.” As she said that, she pushed her mother out of her room.

Although Linda James was slightly annoyed, she had no choice but to leave.

Only after Yvette Larson was sure that her mother was gone did she ask her husband, “Did you really buy a house?”

He nodded. “Yes, but the house is in quite a mess now since it’s under renovation. Otherwise, I’d have brought you there for a look.”

Seeing that her significant other was completely confident, Yvette Larson no longer suspected him.?‘A second-hand property is better than nothing, I guess. It doesn’t matter what Gavin Kleine says then. At least, we have a house. Even though it won’t be as good as his, it’ll still be better than that of many of my other friends. Gavin Kleine probably won’t put us down too much because of the others there.’

To be honest, Yvette Larson didn’t like Gavin Kleine very much. In fact, she hated him.

He was extremely selfish and had a mean nature. He always thought that he was the smartest person in the world and that he was the only smart person in the room while everyone else was a fool.

Yvette Larson remembered that he would always try to be the first to answer their teachers’ questions in school. Often, he would immediately answer the questions once their teachers posed the questions, even before their teachers could give them any time to think about it.

Since he had already revealed the answer, there was no need for the rest to even think about the questions.

But Yvette Larson had never thought that Gavin Kleine was smart just because of that. In fact, this merely showed how socially inept he was.

He thought that he was outstanding, but his eventual results had been average at best.

…

The fifth of next month.

The renovations were finally completed. Once the cleaning company that Finn Taylor had hired made some finishing touches, they could move in.

That day, Joseph Larson called to invite everyone to lunch.

The atmosphere in the Larson family had been a little stiff recently.

After giving it some thought, the Old Master had finally come to a conclusion: It wasn’t time to choose a successor yet. This time, there would be a brand-new way of determining his successor.

As such, he was going to use this chance to explain it at the luncheon he was hosting.
