The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine Chapter 20
Advertisement
Yvette Larson slammed her fist down on the car. "If you two continue with your nonsense, I'll exercise the rights Grandpa gave me and kick both of you out of the company."
Only then did Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson back down a little and stop mocking Finn Taylor.
"Finn Taylor, carry these things into the kindergarten. These are the things our company is going to give the children later. Say, CEO Larson, you aren't going to fire me for asking your husband to work for the company, are you?"
Quince Larson was clearly getting his revenge privately. They had brought more than ten security officers, but he insisted on Finn Taylor doing the job.
Before Yvette Larson could say anything, her husband waved her off. "It's alright; I'll move them. If Grandpa knows that our family personally got involved in charitable work, he'll definitely be happy."
'Since Quince Larson wants to take revenge on me, I will just take it in stride.'
Finn Taylor's words caught Quince Larson slightly off-guard. This made it seem as though his family was less than Yvette Larson's if he didn't get involved either.
After giving it some thought, Quince Larson had no choice but to get involved too, but all he carried were balloons. Worse still, he held only one balloon in each hand.
Could he get any lazier?
After some time, all the families moved their gifts into the kindergarten.
As people streamed into the kindergarten, Yvette Larson and Finn Taylor happened to bump into Seth Fleming and Melissa Hans at the door.
"Oh, it's the CEO of the Larson Corporation. I'm sorry for offending you at the party. You don't hold it against me, do you?"
Nobody knew why Melissa Hans held such a deep grudge against Yvette Larson.
Even though they had only bumped into each other, Melissa Hans had made sure to provoke Yvette with her words.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Fleming. It was just a misunderstanding." Yvette Larson knew that the Larson family couldn't match up to the Fleming family and didn't want to offend them.
Seth Fleming's gaze turned to Finn Taylor and remained there for a while.
After that party, he had gotten his employees to conduct an investigation on Finn Taylor to find out why Christopher Yeats had been so respectful toward him. In the end, the results baffled even himself.
Finn Taylor was the infamous matrilocal son-in-law of San Francisco's Larson family.
Christopher Yeats had only been courteous toward him because of his good character.
'I had been too frightened then. How could I have apologized to such a piece of trash at that party?' Seth Fleming was determined to find his place today.
Their gazes met, and they both knew that the other was plotting something. Yet, neither of them broke the silence as they simply walked into the kindergarten.
By then, all the children of Spottingwood Kindergarten had already arrived at the field under their teachers' guidance.
Based on tradition, Volunteering Day was split into two sessions.
The first was for the companies and families to hand out presents to the children. These presents would be announced publicly, and this was one of the reasons many prominent families chose to attend this event.
It was a competition. If they donated more money and items, their reputations would improve. Then, they would earn even more from business deals in the future.
The second session was for each family to present the children with smaller gifts such as food or toys, and the children would be allowed to pick out whatever they liked.
The company chosen by the majority of children would then be named as the best charitable organization for that year.
It was a great deal to be granted that title.
"Children, it's our annual Volunteering Day. Uncles and Aunties have brought us many gifts. Shall we welcome them with a round of applause?" As the principal—Hannah Sanders—finished her speech, the entire field erupted with cheers.

The children yelped in joy the moment they heard that they would be receiving presents.
"Hans Technology Limited has brought 30 boxes of bubble machines."
"Dexter Design has brought 100 learning devices."
…
The gifts that each company brought were announced one by one.
Of course, these were all smaller companies and families. As such, their gifts were of lower monetary value.
"Now, let's invite the Larson family and the Larson Corporation."
Yvette Larson walked on stage amidst cheers and applause.
She smiled at the children. "On behalf of the Larson Corporation and the Larson family, I would like to present each and every child with a scarf."
Yvette Larson's words drew laughter from the audience.
The Larson Corporation had become rather well-known in San Francisco recently. Because of their collaboration with Xander Corporation, many corporations and families had started to notice the Larson Corporation.
They were also prepared to collaborate with the Larson family after this Volunteering Day event. However, the Larson Corporation's gifts were jaw-dropping.
"A scarf? The Larson family is so stingy."
"That's right. Look at that woman; she's dressed in branded goods from head to toe. Why is she only giving the children scarves?"
"Yes, I remember that she came in a nice car with a driver. I didn't think that she was such a person."
The crowd sighed.
Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson glared at Finn Taylor.
"It's your fault, you piece of trash. You've brought so much trouble to the Larson family. Although Yvette Larson isn't outstanding, she's not stupid. I was wondering why she proposed giving the children scarves at the meeting. Thinking about it now, it must've been your idea."
Eleanor Larson added, "That's right; you're a jinx! You killed the Old Master, and now, you're planning to ruin the whole Larson family, aren't you? Tell us, did you force Yvette Larson into giving them scarves?"
Finn Taylor gave it some thought but didn't rebut them. "It's true that I did mention it."
"Great, it was you! Yvette Larson must be crazy to have listened to a piece of trash like you. When we go back later, I'll make sure to tell Grandpa about this. I'll make him fire Yvette Larson and chase your family out of the Larson family."
Quince Larson seemed to have gotten the chance to make his comeback and was incredibly excited.
Finn Taylor shrugged. "Let's wait and see."
On the stage, Yvette Larson was not at all bothered by the commotion. "Children, Auntie knitted all these scarves herself. You can't buy this anywhere. I'll help all of you put them on later, alright?"
There were wide smiles plastered on all of the children's faces. "Ok!"
Finn Taylor ignored Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson's contempt and walked on stage to pick up a box of scarves.
Then, Yvette Larson took out scarves from the box and put them on each child.
After putting each one on, Yvette Larson would hug the children.
This hug caused all of the children to burst into tears.
These so-called entrepreneurs and successful people thought that they were doing charitable acts by donating expensive gifts. What they didn't know was that a mother's hug meant everything to an orphan.
These people might not have understood it, but Finn Taylor did. Although he wasn't an orphan, he had been rejected by his mother since a young age. That was why he perfectly understood just what these children needed.
