The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine Chapter 22
Advertisement
Soon, chaos broke out in Spottingwood Kindergarten.
Countless children dropped the toys in their hands, while others rushed toward the booth with toys still in their hands.
They were all headed toward the Larson family.
Of course, Finn Taylor did more than drawing watches for the children; that would've been boring.
As such, he drew cats on some of the children's faces, butterflies on others, and tigers…
There was nothing within the children's imagination that Finn Taylor couldn't draw.
Ding-dong!
With the ring of a bell, the second round officially ended.
All the children of Spottingwood Kindergarten were queued up before the Larson family's booth.
It was clear who had won.
The Larson family had won both rounds of the competition.
Naturally, the Larson Corporation and Larson family had won the 'Best Charitable Organization' title. Of course, all credit went to Finn Taylor.
Finn Taylor didn't stop drawing just because the bell had rung. He remained there, seriously drawing for the children.
Quince Larson left in a huff.
Eleanor Larson obviously wasn't going to remain there to be humiliated. As such, she left as well.
Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson returned to the Larson Corporation with the award in hand, but what greeted them was a message from Joseph Larson's secretary.
They were to head to the conference room right away.
For some reason, Yvette Larson felt that something was amiss.
The moment they entered the conference room, Yvette Larson saw her grandpa sitting at the head of the table while Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson stood behind him.
Quince Larson looked at them smugly.
"Grandpa, here is the 'Best Charitable Organization' award." Yvette Larson placed the plaque on the table, but Joseph Larson didn't even spare it a glance.
He slammed his fist down on the table, causing the mugs to fall onto the ground.

Clang!
The mugs shattered into pieces with a chilling clang.
"Yvette Larson, I handed the company to you and kicked Quince Larson out of the CEO position to give it to you, and this is how you repay me?" Joseph Larson was infuriated.
Yvette Larson was confused. 'I don't think that I've made any mistakes. In fact, I have even won the competition for the company, improving our reputation. Why is Grandpa in such a fury?'
"Who's he? He's just a matrilocal son-in-law and a piece of trash! How could you listen to him as a CEO? It's just pure luck that you managed to win this competition. What if you lost? Have you ever thought of the consequences?"
"You're a girl. The Larson Corporation will eventually end up in Quince's hands. I don't expect you to make great contributions as a CEO, but you should know not to make any mistakes at the very least. But what have you done? You've wasted my efforts in cultivating you. How could you trust him to make such an important decision for the company? Twice!"
"Yvette Larson, from now on, you'll be demoted to Deputy CEO. Quince will continue being the CEO. You'll still be in charge of the Xander Corporation project. Don't you dare threaten me with that. If you don't handle it well, I'll kick your whole family out of the Larson family," Joseph Larson shouted fiercely. Toward the end, he was already out of breath.
"Yvette Larson, look what you've done." Eleanor Larson caressed her grandpa's back to calm him down.
By the side, Quince Larson glared at his cousin as though she had committed a grave crime. "Yvette, oh Yvette. It doesn't matter to me, even if you want to be stubborn and fight with me for power. If you really want to, I can hand over the CEO position to you. I can even hand over the position of successor to the Larson family to you. But the Larson Corporation is Grandpa's life. Can you really bear to ruin it?"

"Piece of trash! It's you! You're the one who angered Grandpa! You'd better kneel down and apologize to him."
Yvette Larson's fist was clenched tightly into a fist.
She was fuming.
She had to suppress the urge to slap Quince Larson in the face, but she knew that her grandpa's condition would definitely worsen if she did so.
Thud!
Finn Taylor knelt down!
So as not to drag Yvette Larson nor make her do anything foolish, Finn Taylor knelt down without any regrets!
It was all because Yvette Larson had held his hand when she had been fuming earlier on.
'This is the first time Yvette Larson has ever held his hand in three years. Her icy heart is finally starting to melt. It's because of me that she has suffered so much today.' As a man, Finn Taylor knelt down with no regrets to prevent Yvette Larson from being humiliated any further.
The corners of Quince Larson's lips curled up mockingly as he saw Finn Taylor kneel down, but he finally remained silent.
He walked out of the conference room with Eleanor Larson, who was supporting their grandpa.
Only after everyone left did Yvette Larson help her husband up. Then, she leaped into Finn Taylor's embrace. "I'm sorry for making you go through this."
Finn Taylor smiled. "You care about me?"
Yvette Larson didn't answer him. "Come on; let's go home."
Yvette Larson held his hand and walked out of the company under the keen gazes of everyone.
Yvette Larson retrieved the key to the CEO's car from her pocket and flung it onto the car. Since she was no longer the CEO, she was naturally not going to drive the car either.
"Why? You can't bear to part with it?"
She would be lying if she denied it. Apart from her grandpa's car, this was the best car she had ever sat in her entire life.
But she was a stubborn person. Since it wasn't hers, she wasn't going to insist on having it.
"I'll buy you a car that's 100 times, 1,000 times—even 10,000 times more expensive than this one. How's that?" Finn Taylor drew a huge circle in front of Yvette Larson.
Yvette Larson sneered. "Why don't you say that you'll buy that Rolls-Royce Phantom we saw at Pacific Heights for me?"
"If you like it, I'll drive it over for you right away."
"Stop boasting. You're such a bad guy. Do you think I'll believe you?"
Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson argued playfully along the way.
However, Finn Taylor wasn't boasting about the Rolls-Royce Phantom; it was indeed his.
He could drive it over at any time without even lifting a finger, but he gave up on that idea for fear of scaring his wife.
When the couple returned home, they were greeted by Francis Larson and Linda James's fierce gazes.
"You guys still dare to return home?"
"Why don't you just die?" Linda James hit Finn Taylor with the broom in her hands.
"Come in!" Linda James dragged Yvette Larson into the house.
Thud!
With that, Finn Taylor was locked out of the house.
