The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine Chapter 59
Advertisement
As expected, Karen James's words were effective.
Linda James—who was on the other end of the call—exploded. "What? Finn Taylor, you hit someone with the car? Do you want to die? Where are you? Did you damage the car…"
Finn Taylor could feel her murderous intent even through the phone. 'It seems like I won't be able to clear the air on the phone. We need to have this conversation face-to-face.'
As such, Finn Taylor told her the address.
Within ten minutes, Linda James, Francis Larson, and Yvette Larson arrived.
Without saying a word, Linda James rushed up to slap her son-in-law in the face without any hesitation. "Finn Taylor, what did I tell you before you left? You still damaged the car!"
Linda James glanced at the car; there were indeed a few scratches.
Her heart ached, and she was about to slap him a second time when her daughter grabbed her arm. "Alright. Let's find out what happened first."
"Humph!" Linda James was utterly displeased with her daughter's actions.
"How is it? Are you hurt?" Yvette Larson knew that her husband was the one who had paid for the car. As such, she didn't care about the car.
What she was most concerned with was whether her husband was alright.
Finn Taylor shook his head. "I'm fine."
Yvette Larson nodded and squatted down to look at the old lady. "Granny, I'm so sorry about this. How are you feeling now?"
"I-I'm feeling much better. I was feeling a little dizzy earlier, but that young man helped me. I'm feeling better now."
Of course, the young man the granny was talking about was Finn Taylor.
Karen James rolled her eyes as she stood by the side. "It's only right that he did that."
"Granny, we'll accompany you to the hospital. Don't worry; you'll be fine."
The old lady grabbed Yvette Larson's hand. "Young lady, I didn't stage this accident."

Yvette Larson chuckled and shook her head. "Of course not; it's our fault. We'll pay for your medical bills."
The moment Linda James heard the words 'medical bills,' her heart ached even more. "Huh? Medical bills? Stupid Finn Taylor! All you know how to do is waste money. Yvette finally bought a new car and hasn't even gotten a chance to drive it, yet you got into an accident. We even have to pay for their medical bills now! Why is our family so unlucky? Why did the Old Master insist on you marrying into our family?"
"The very next day after you married into our family, you jinxed the Old Master to death! I think you're trying to drive me to my death too!"
Finn Taylor silently stood by the side without rebutting her. After all, there were still outsiders around.
If he were to reply to her, they would definitely get into a fight.
They would then become a joke in the eyes of outsiders. That would only embarrass his wife even further.
"Mom, how are you feeling?"
Screech!
A car rolled to a stop, and someone rushed out of the car and shoved her way through the crowd to the old lady. "Mom, are you feeling alright?"
That person stood up. "I'm telling you. You guys hit my mom, so don't you even think of running away. I'm going to hire the best lawyers to sue you."
The moment she finished her sentence, she spotted Finn Taylor.
Her eyes widened as she stared at him, unable to believe that she had met him.
Linda James's family recognized this lady. This was the lady who Linda James had accused of knocking into her!
At that time, Linda James had insisted on that lady compensating her. However, Finn Taylor had kindly let her go.
That lady still remembered that clearly and had been very grateful toward him. But she had never expected to meet again under such circumstances.

"Penny, I'm fine. Don't put them on the spot. "The old lady was a reasonable person. Because she had been an educator her whole life, she liked kind-hearted children like Finn Taylor.
"It's you? Were you the one who hit my mother?"
Just then, the blare of sirens could be heard. The ambulance had arrived.
Several medics rushed over with a stretcher. They skillfully performed a preliminary examination of the old lady.
They then told everyone, "From our preliminary examination, Granny seems fine. Because of her age, she was a little frightened after getting hit, and her legs felt a little weak. Hence, she couldn't stand up. Of course, we'll have to do a more thorough checkup for her at the hospital. Will her family members and the driver please follow us?"
In the end, Finn Taylor, Yvette Larson, and that lady named Penny boarded the ambulance with the granny.
Before she was lifted up onto the stretcher, she pointed at Weston Shaw. "He was the one who hit me."
They got in the ambulance and headed toward the hospital.
Only Linda James, her husband, and the family of three were left at the scene.
The words that the old lady said before leaving made Linda James suspicious. "Karen James, you'd better come clean. What happened? Who was the one driving?"
"Finn Taylor. Isn't this your car? He was the one who came to pick us up. Who else could've been driving?"
"Fine. I have no choice but to report this to the police since you guys don't want to tell the truth. Let's see who gets arrested."
At the mention of the police, Karen James flew into a frenzy. 'I can't let my sister call the police; otherwise, my son will be ruined.'
"Hold on, hold on. I'll tell the truth. It's true that Weston was the one driving, but you can't blame him. It was Finn Taylor who kept going on about how rich your family was in the car. Not only did you guys get a luxury car, but your daughter even became the Larson Corporation's CEO. He even said that you were even going to get a new house. I heard that you guys even have millions in savings. Don't you think my son was shocked by that? That was why he got distracted and got into an accident."
Linda James was staring at her sister as the latter spoke. She wanted to see if her sister was lying.
But Karen James had wisely mixed some truths into her lies. As such, Linda James couldn't tell if she had gotten the truth. "Did Finn Taylor really say that?"
"Do you think I'd lie to you? I'm your biological younger sister."
Linda James felt her blood boil; she couldn't wait to rip Finn Taylor's mouth apart. 'I had clearly told him to pretend to be poor in front of my sister's family, but he had chosen to do the exact opposite and brag about how rich our family was! He's really a piece of work. He can't even remember his surname after driving this luxury car! He'd better wait and see how I'll deal with him once he gets home.'
"Sister, you have only one nephew. Do you really want him to go to jail? This may sound blunt, but your nephew is related to you by blood. What about your son-in-law? Besides, he's just a matrilocal son-in-law. I know you don't really like Finn Taylor either, right? Why don't we work together and push the blame to him? You'll save your nephew that way, and you can even force him to divorce Yvette. Don't you think this is a perfect solution?"
