Chapter 254: The Gold Family’s Trouble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Kevin and Kenneth Jones walked toward Finn Taylor.

All eyes were glued to them. Thousands all over San Francisco were watching this scene unfold through the drones.

Their gazes were glued to the screen, and their hearts were in their mouths.

The answer would be revealed soon.

In the bars, some were so distracted that they hadn’t even realized that their glasses were overflowing with beer. Others had simply dropped the glasses in their hands to the ground.

Those at home had their jaws dropped, disbelief filling their eyes.

Those present at Pacific Heights weren’t much better. They were all well-known and respected men in San Francisco, yet their expressions were unreadable at this moment.

This was all because of the scene they had just witnessed—the Jones brothers had fallen on their knees, even kowtowing!

The brothers had been unwilling to do so, yet Kevin Jones’s only son was in Finn Taylor’s hands. If they didn’t kneel down, the Jones family would be done for.

But this didn’t mean that Kevin Jones was going to let Finn Taylor off—he would remember this forever. However, he knew which battles to fight.

For now, it would be wiser to take a step back and give in to the other.

This was how the entire city had witnessed Kevin Jones going down on his knees.

“W-why did it turn out this way?” Eleanor Larson felt as though she was going to go crazy.?‘Kevin Jones is clearly the second-most powerful man in San Francisco. Given the influence the Jones family has, it wouldn’t be difficult to crush the Larson family. Therefore, why have things turned out this way? Why is Kevin Jones kneeling down to Yvette Larson? Why do that woman and b*stard have such good luck? Who is he?’?

Eleanor Larson was fuming, and her cousin was so infuriated that he nearly rushed up to punch someone. He had to resist the urge to slap Kevin Jones right in the face and ask the latter why he was kneeling down to a piece of trash.

Just like that, the show on the peak of Pacific Heights had ended.

The ending was one that nobody had even expected.

Kevin Jones and the rest of the men had kneeled at Pacific Heights for two whole hours—everyone had seen it.

In the following days, rumors spread about why that had taken place. The most common explanation was Finn Taylor’s relationship with the Gold family.

Almost everyone in San Francisco knew that Finn Taylor wasn’t just a matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family—he was also the Gold family’s dog.

As such, Kevin Jones hadn’t admitted defeat to Finn Taylor this time but to the Gold family.

Kevin Jones kneeling meant that the Jones family had lost. From now on, San Francisco would be helmed by only one family—the Gold family.

When faced with such explanations, Finn Taylor merely smiled.

Now, he was at the gate of the Gold family’s residence.

As soon as he pressed the doorbell, Kimberly Gold opened the gate. Seeing that Finn Taylor was visiting, she was naturally elated and quickly ushered him in.

There was a smile on Finn Taylor’s face too. “Where’s your grandpa?”

“He’s in the chess room. I’ll go get him.”

“No need; I’ll go look for him. Make us a pot of tea.”

Kimberly Gold nodded before skipping away.

It had been a while since Finn Taylor had visited them, and this time, he had taken the initiative to visit! That delighted Kimberly Gold.

As Finn Taylor walked into the room, he spotted Third Master Gold and Carl Gillies engrossed in a game of chess. He glanced at the board before picking up one of Carl Gillies’s chess pieces and making a move.

With that, he had thrown the game into checkmate, allowing Third Master Gold a clean victory.

But all of a sudden, Finn Taylor put down that piece and picked up one of Third Master Gold’s.

Now, Third Master Gold had lost all advantage. Instead, victory now belonged to Carl Gillies!

Finn Taylor’s moves were astounding.

“I have the choice to make use of some people. At the same time, I’m perfectly capable of killing them too.”

His words threw Third Master Gold into a frenzy. He knew exactly what Finn Taylor meant by that.

“I hate people trying to make use of me, even if I’m already headed in that direction.”

The more Finn Taylor said, the more frantic Third Master Gold got.

Carl Gillies felt helpless as he watched on by the side.?‘I already reminded my friend about this, yet the latter didn’t want to listen to me. What else could I possibly do?’

Just then, Kimberly Gold walked into the room with the freshly brewed tea.

Finn Taylor took it from her before pouring three cups of tea.

Because the tea had been freshly brewed, the water was nearly at boiling point.

He picked up one of the cups and looked at Third Master Gold and Carl Gillies. “I’m going to drink this first—do as you like. Whether I’ll come again for another cup of tea will depend on what you guys do.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, Finn Taylor downed the entire cup of tea.

“It’s hot!” Kimberly Gold yelped out in surprise.?‘Is Finn Taylor trying to tempt fate? It’s almost as hot as boiling water!’

Third Master Gold and Carl Gillies shared a meaningful glance—neither of them knew what to do.

‘If I down this scalding-hot cup of tea, Finn Taylor will forget about whatever grudges he holds against me.’?Third Master Gold wasn’t one to back down, so he picked up a cup of tea and downed it too.

Of course, it was scalding.

Yet, Finn Taylor had already drunk it. Why shouldn’t he be able to do so either?

To be honest, Carl Gillies was much more vicious than Third Master Gold. He was the one who had suggested falling down the stairs to the latter.

While it seemed like a joke, he very well would’ve done it if he were in this situation. As such, he picked up the last cup of tea and downed it too.

Kimberly Gold stared on, dumbfounded.?‘What’s going on? Don’t they think that it’s really hot? I just boiled this water, but the three of them picked it up and downed it as though it was nothing!’

Finn Taylor couldn’t help but chuckle as he witnessed the behavior of the two old men. Without saying a word, he then turned to leave.

Kimberly Gold was about to chase after him when her grandfather pulled her back.

“Grandpa!” Kimberly Gold turned back and shouted in confusion.

“Trouble is going to befall the Gold family. Kimberly, I’m going to tell you something very important now. Promise me that you’ll do it.”

It was rare for her grandpa to act so seriously in front of her, so Kimberly Gold was stunned. “What’s going on, Grandpa?”

“Don’t ask me about anything. I’m handing over the position of family head and chairman of the company to you. Just promise me one thing: Get on good terms with Finn Taylor and don’t ever go against him.. Even if he rejects you and tells you that he doesn’t like you, don’t make him your enemy.”
