The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine Chapter 104

Finn Taylor glanced at his phone. After confirming the video's contents, he tossed his phone over to Diane Taylor.
The latter was slightly confused, but she instinctively opened that video.
She was overwhelmed with emotions as she watched it. She pointed at the phone and shouted, "This video! It recorded everything that happened just now! It'll prove my innocence!"
With that, Diane Taylor turned the phone to face the public and replayed the video.
All the onlookers gathered around.
From the video, it was clear that Scar Ross's woman had stolen from the shop and that Diane Taylor had gone up to stop her. Then, Scar Ross's woman smashed her own phone onto the ground. After that, they witnessed what had followed.
"Scar Ross, what else do you have to say?"
Scar Ross was slightly afraid. He rushed up, trying to snatch the phone away from Diane Taylor.
Of course, he didn't succeed.
This time, Finn Taylor didn't hold back anymore. He threw a few kicks and punches over. It would be at least three years before Scar Ross would get up from bed.
With that settled, Finn Taylor walked up to Diane Taylor. He stretched his hand out. "My phone."
Diane Taylor was slightly nervous when she saw the former walking over, but she quickly handed his phone back to him after hearing his words.
Finn Taylor had no interest in listening to her. He walked up to his wife, picked up the cat, and was getting ready to leave.
But just then, Diane Taylor seemed to have gathered up her courage and rushed over. "Hello, sir. My name is Diane Taylor, and I'm majoring in veterinary science. Could you please take me in? I'll take good care of your precious cat."
Diane Taylor had proven her innocence, but she knew that her boss would definitely fire her out of fear of Scar Ross.

In fact, it wasn't just her boss. The entire marché would probably be against her.
However, she desperately needed a job.
Finn Taylor was rendered speechless. 'I solved her problem for her, but why does it feel like I'm creating more trouble for myself?'
However, Yvette Larson maintained her smile. "You know how to take care of cats?"
To be honest, taking care of this cat would take up too much of the couple's time—time that they didn't have. However, Yvette Larson knew that the cat would be done for if she were to hand it over to her mom.
"Yes, that's my major at college. I'll do well to take care of it."
Yvette Larson hesitated. "Can you cook and clean?"
"Huh?" Diane Taylor was stunned, but she immediately regained her senses and nodded. "Yes, I can!"
"Alright, we'll hire you. You can help around the house and help to take care of our cat."
Although Diane Taylor was slightly taken aback, she wasn't going to refuse the offer. Children from poor families had to grow up early, so she naturally wasn't going to despise the job of a nanny.
"Let me tell you something. My husband's surname is Taylor too. This must be fate."
Diane Taylor looked at Finn Taylor, visibly moved. "You're a Taylor too. Hello, hello."
Finn Taylor handed the cat over to the girl. He, of course, wasn't going to go against his wife's decision.
As the trio walked away, Diane Taylor looked awkwardly at the couple. "About that… Do you mind if I ask about my pay?"
Finn Taylor chuckled. "Oh yes, I almost forgot to tell you. We must come to a consensus on your pay. How about 3,000 dollars a month for now? If you think it's too much work, I can increase your pay from there."

Diane Taylor wondered if she was dreaming. '3,000 dollars? What kind of nanny earns 3,000 dollars a month? Could it be…'
Her mind ran astray. "That… I don't mind being paid less. I'm from a good family, and I'll only do what I should. I won't accede to any of those weird requests."
'Pfft!' Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson burst out into laughter in unison. 'Diane Taylor is too imaginative.'
"You are really overthinking it. You'll understand why 3,000 dollars is normal once you come to our house." Yvette Larson was the one who said that. Then, she added, "Oh right, he's really upright too. He'll ignore you even if you try to seduce him."
Diane Taylor stole a glance at Finn Taylor. Seeing that he couldn't care less about her, she finally let her guard down.
When she realized that Finn Taylor drove a BMW, she couldn't help but look on in awe. 'This family is probably really rich. Even though they are wealthy, they are still cultured and well-mannered. As expected, there is a huge difference between different people.'
The car drove along and headed toward Pacific Heights.
Diane Taylor knew nothing about the property prices here. She was still a college student, and none of her friends were from such prestigious families. However, her heart started thumping rapidly as they arrived at Number One Pacific Heights.
She had never seen such a humongous house in her life. At that moment, she finally understood why Yvette Larson had told her that 3,000 dollars weren't much once they arrived here.
She also understood why Finn Taylor told her that she could request a higher salary if she thought that it was too much work.
"Who is she?" Linda James sat on the sofa, savoring an apple. Seeing Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson return with a stranger, she was filled with curiosity.
"Mom, she's our hired help. You can let her take care of the cooking and cleaning around here from now on."
Linda James was filled with displeasure upon hearing that. "Why would you need hired help? Don't we have Finn Taylor? He was the one who cooked and cleaned in the past."
Yvette Larson gestured around. "Haven't we moved into a new house? He'll be too tired to clean the whole house. It's good that we hired a helper."
"Oh, how much does it cost?" Linda James was still annoyed.
"3,000 dollars."
"3,000 dollars?" Linda James leaped up. "Finn Taylor, I think you must've gone crazy. Did you think that I'd stop caring about you just because you've bought a house? How could you force Yvette to hire a helper just because you don't want to cook? How could you hire a helper and such an expensive one at that? Tell me, who is forking out that 3,000 dollars?"
Yvette Larson sighed. "Mom, we're a family. Why do you always try to draw lines between us?"
Linda James hated her daughter so much at that moment. "What do you know? You may treat him like family, but does he treat you as family? I've already checked—his name is the only one on this house's property deed."
"Finn Taylor, if you treat Yvette as family, you should transfer this house to her. What do you think about that?"

Character Development Gallery | Wikia | Official Site | Patreon | Facebook | Twitter ————————————————————————————————————- Summary ————————————————————————————————————- In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment, Kiel is a "non-mage" - a person who doesn't have the aptitude to use magic on regular basis - until he meets Elaru - a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled 'Aethernea of Sight' - eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen. Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise. Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink - a mysterious plague spreading through the continent?

Why has the third race of Halnea - the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races? In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying.

A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world. ————————————————————————————————————- What do readers say about it? ————————————————————————————————————- "Aethernea is my absolute favorite read on wattpad, I love it as much as I love Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments. You have such an amazing way to make the words flow and unbelievable descriptions. Unique characters and a great story line. All the small clues and mystery in the humor and fantasy just makes the book perfect in my opinion. I read all chapters in two days! Less than 48 hours even! I'm REALLY looking forward to the next update, the world of Aethernea is so deep and well thought out, it's beautiful and magical. God I can't believe how creative you are, so many small details with so many families and stories everywhere. Purely fantastical, I admire you." - astro-logical from Wattpad "I love love love Aethernea so much! It is amazing how you created this new world with different creatures, magics, looks, illnesses, and evil! I was blown away by your explanation of the Mana pools and how to weave magic! Simply stunning really! You are one of my favorite authors and Wattpad and I am so glad I stumbled upon Aethernea because it is worth all of my time reading!" - Adriana_V_Blade from Wattpad "I absolutely am loving Aethernea so far. I am certain you belong in the ranks among J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzane Collinings, and many more great and wonderful authors. You opened up a whole new world for me, which only a few great authors have accomplished. While it's true I am pulled into each and every book, few are able to capture me to the point of inescapability. Though, somehow, you have managed this feat. I thank you for this and more! You are a wonderful author and can't wait for more to come!" - daughterofpercabeth7 from Wattpad "WOW! just caught Aethernea in gravity tales! Just when I was getting tired of most xianxia novels this appears and completely blows my mind! I really like the depth and the humorous touch you give the characters and it seems you have the storyline well thought out since you are always hinting about things in the past and the future. It has been such an enjoyable experience that I couldn't stop reading, finishing it in just one day and laughing my way through most of the episodes. But what keeps me so excited for what's coming is the magic system and the professions of the world you are creating.The magic mechanics have such a huge potential! They are simple but at the same time they open so many possibilities. Even though we still only understand the basics of transmutation and augmentation, I expect them to enable fights where there is need of quick thinking and skill, and not just brainless overpower of every opponent. In a way this makes me reminiscent about The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson, which are one of my favorite series ever. The thing that sets Mistborn apart from any other series is that the mechanics are so well thought out that they could be used to create a super cool triple A video game and I cannot help but hope Aethernea reaches the same level or even surpass it. I really think it has that potential. Really hope this series gets the attention it deserves. As for me, Thursdays and Sundays just got a whole more exciting! =)" - AlexMLion "Your writing is fantastic and riveting, the chapters and character flow so smooth, and it captivates the reader with the many twist and turns that tricks one mind into thinking this is about to happen, when suddenly the exact opposite happens. You truly are in inspirational writer with a brilliant mind that can see and put words into chapters and into this one truly awesome book. Thank you!" - AshleyStaar from Wattpad "I loved this story, such detailed description and accurate words, both Kiel and Elaru completely caught my attention, your writing style is just beautiful and the plot is astounding and it's just the first episode! This kind of fantasy stories are my favourite, it has a lot of magic in it, rivalry and sense of humour." - BlackWhiteD from Wattpad
