The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine Chapter 105
Advertisement
After Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson had gone out earlier, Linda James had been thinking about it. After a long while, she decided that her son-in-law had to transfer ownership of the house over to her daughter. Otherwise, this house would always be Finn Taylor's.
'If the couple gets divorced, our family will never get a share of the house. In fact, what will happen if Finn Taylor chases us out even if he doesn't get divorced?'
Finn Taylor had bought this house for his wife, intending for them to live alone. However, Linda James had refused to leave.
Since his spouse hadn't said anything, Finn Taylor naturally said nothing as well.
However, Linda James was afraid that he would kick her out one day. As such, she was trying to make her son-in-law transfer ownership of the house.
But just because she was insensible didn't mean that her daughter was as well. "Mom, could you stop talking about that?"
Just then, Yvette Larson's phone rang—it was Quince Larson.
'From the call, it seems like Grandpa is looking for me to discuss an important matter. I have to rush down to the office right away.' Yvette Larson had no time to waste on her mother and simply left.
As for Finn Taylor, he simply left Diane Taylor with a few instructions before leaving with his wife.
Seeing that her son-in-law was gone and that she failed in her mission, Linda James vented her anger on Diane Taylor. "What are you looking at? You'd better hurry up and get down to work. I think Finn Taylor must be crazy to offer you 3,000 dollars a month."
Following that, Linda James simply sat there, complaining nonstop about how unfair this whole situation was.
Of course, Diane Taylor was terrified and didn't dare to rebut her. All she could do was get down to work.

Suddenly, Linda James thought of something. "Don't tell me that you're Finn Taylor's mistress. Why else would he be in such a hurry to bring you home? Even if he's looking for a helper, he shouldn't offer such a high salary. That's right; you must be Finn Taylor's mistress!"
Diane Taylor could ignore everything else Linda James said about her, but she wasn't going to take this lying down. 'Linda James is clearly denigrating me and smearing my name!'
"No, I'm not!" Thinking about how she had been bullied earlier in the day, tears welled up in Diane Taylor's eyes.
"If you're not, why would you get so worked up? Why are you crying? I bet I'm right!" Linda James landed a slap on the other's face.
…
As Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson arrived at the office, they felt that the atmosphere was strange.
Even Eleanor Larson wasn't as arrogant as her usual self, and neither did she dare to mock the couple.
Yvette Larson couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to the company. She walked into her office, where Joseph Larson and Quince Larson were already waiting.
What surprised Yvette Larson was that her grandpa stood up the moment she walked in.
Even though Quince Larson was initially reluctant, he was left with no choice but to stand as well once his grandpa stood up.
"Grandpa, are you looking for me?" Yvette Larson sat down on her chair while her husband took a seat on the sofa by the side.
Yvette Larson was nervous and asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong? You can tell me if anything's wrong."
After giving it some thought, Joseph Larson still told the truth.
After the gathering at Finn Taylor's house, Joseph Larson had been enraged by his eldest granddaughter.

Quince Larson had only added fuel to the fire by saying that Yvette Larson was an outsider. Since she was now married to Finn Taylor, she was no longer a Larson even though the latter was a matrilocal son-in-law. As such, they couldn't afford to let Yvette Larson remain as the person-in-charge of the project with the Sullivan family.
It was because they had changed the project's person-in-charge before they had started that they had drawn ire.
But this time, Hunter Sullivan would definitely respect Joseph Larson as long as he personally talked it out with him.
With Quince Larson's coaxing, Joseph Larson finally bought into it and headed to Xander Corporation with his grandson.
In fact, they had even managed to get a meeting with Hunter Sullivan. However, the latter refused to allow a change in the project's person-in-charge.
He wanted to terminate the project.
This project was an important one to the Larson family. To prevent cash flow problems, the Larson family had even stopped all other projects to focus on this collaboration with the Sullivan family.
But now, this project was going to be terminated too.
The Sullivan family had already thrown their money into the project. If they delayed it and didn't get their money back, it would be the Sullivan family at a loss in the end. Even such a prestigious family would be on the verge of breaking down then.
It was the thought of this that Joseph Larson had no choice but to beg his eldest granddaughter for help.
Only Yvette Larson would be able to convince the Sullivan family to change their minds. The only one who could save the Larson family was her.
Finn Taylor couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the Old Master's words. "How interesting. Grandpa, didn't you say that you were going to choose your successor based on our achievements? Why are you going back on your word so quickly?"
Quince Larson flew into a rage when he saw that even Finn Taylor dared to speak ill of his grandpa. "Finn Taylor, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to Grandpa like that?"
Yvette Larson shot Quince Larson a deadly glare. "Is Finn wrong?"
She then let out a fake smile. "Don't you think so, Grandpa?"
Joseph Larson had been humiliated today, but he had no other choice. He had brought this upon himself. If he hadn't listened to Quince Larson, none of this would've happened.
"Yes," answered Joseph Larson quietly. He didn't want to say anything else.
Yvette Larson turned to her cousin. "Did you hear that, Quince? Grandpa has admitted to it. I want you to apologize to Finn."
'Apologize to Finn Taylor? You might as well just kill me. Finn Taylor, who are you? You're just a matrilocal son-in-law and a piece of trash! In contrast, I'm the heir to the Larson family. If I apologize to him today, this will be a stain on my life!'
Yvette Larson drummed her fingers against the table.
As for Finn Taylor, his eyes were fixed on Quince Larson.
It felt like they were trying to kill each other with their gazes. Neither was willing to compromise.
All that could be heard in the room was Yvette Larson tapping the table.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Every tap felt like a hammer hitting against Joseph Larson's heart. Eventually, he broke down.
He threw a glance at his grandson. "Apologize."

The King is Back
Life in the forest is all that the unnamed boy has known for all his life. After being abandoned by his parents years ago, his only salvation is the martial art and books that his father left him. One day, after encountering an unforeseen incident, the boy learns of his true lineage in a secret kingdom which is more technologically advanced than the rest of the world. Important Note: This is going to be an evolving story as I write. I am sure many of you will have plenty of criticisms for the earliest/earlier chapters and some of them are justified but I intend to continuously improve as I progress through the story. I hope you stick with me until then. Features: Technology Gap, Mechs in a Fantasy World, Conspiracies and Mysteries, Epic Adventures! Note: Mechs will be featured but it is NOT the main thing about this story. There will be extended periods of time of a more grounded story rather than mech warfare. But worry not, there will also be times of full-on glorious mech battles so keep reading! Cover art from an artwork done by Adam Burn. I do not own any of the copyrights of the image.
