The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine Chapter 159
Advertisement
Only late into the night did Donovan Taylor finally understand what was going on. 'I've been tricked. This isn't the room Yvette Larson is staying in. I've waited for you for a whole night for nothing!'
Donovan Taylor flared up. He started to look for Yvette Larson's room, and he heard someone sobbing just then. 'This must be Yvette Larson's voice. I guess this is her room.'
Thinking about how beautiful she had been earlier in the day, Donovan Taylor subconsciously swallowed his saliva. 'Finn Taylor, that b*stard! I thought he'd been humiliated by marrying into the Larson family, but look at this! He's staying in a luxurious mansion and is respected by everyone. He even has such a beautiful wife, but I was living my life in hiding outside.'
The stark difference made Donovan Taylor terribly jealous of his twin. 'Good, I'm going to ruin everything Finn Taylor has and brag to him about it. I wonder how he'll feel once he learns of it.'
Donovan Taylor forced his way into the room and switched the lights on.
The sudden burst of light made Yvette Larson feel uneasy. She tried to shield herself from the light to adapt to it when someone suddenly pounced on her.
Yvette Larson dodged instinctively, only to realize that it was Finn Taylor.
"Why are you trying to hide? I want to let him know that I've slept with his wife."
Yvette Larson had been crying all night while thinking about how she had also been bullied over the past three years. It had been such a struggle for the couple to get to where they were, yet they had gotten into a huge fight over La Feria Club.
Now, she had finally thought it through and was going to forgive her husband, but he had undergone such a drastic change.

Yvette Larson had sobbed her eyes out. But now, Finn Taylor was trying to force her to sleep with him.
Thankfully, she had sharp ears and heard Donovan Taylor muttering to himself. 'Let him know? That 'him' he's talking about must be Finn. Then, this person must not be Finn.'
"You're not Finn Taylor. Who are you?" Yvette Larson screamed and shoved all her things onto the ground.
The noise woke all three of the others in the house.
When they saw Donovan Taylor trying to rape Yvette, they quickly picked up the items and threw them at him.
Of course, Donovan Taylor was nowhere near as skilled as his twin. As the trio beat him up, he could no longer stand the pain and quickly escaped.
Only when Donovan Taylor left did the remaining four of them breathe a sigh of relief.
Linda James shouted, "Finn Taylor, that b*stard. How dare he hit me?"
Now that things had progressed to such a stage, Yvette Larson believed that her mother had been telling her the truth earlier in the day.
'But if that person isn't Finn, who is he? He looks identical to Finn. What's he doing here trying to act as Finn? If he's not Finn, where's the real Finn?' After deep contemplation, Yvette Larson finally thought of someone—Hunter Sullivan.
Finn Taylor had been humiliated for three years and had only started rising up because of Hunter Sullivan's company. Besides, Hunter Sullivan always seemed to be present whenever something happened to them.
For some reason, Yvette Larson felt that there was something going on between them. 'Once day breaks, I'd better ask Hunter Sullivan all about it.'
Having been chased out of Number One Pacific Heights, Donovan Taylor was dejected. He quickly got into a sports car that was parked at the foot of Pacific Heights.

His grandma had gotten someone in San Francisco to prepare it for him the previous day.
Donovan Taylor slammed down on his accelerator, and the car flew off.
Thankfully, it was late at night, and there weren't many cars on the road. Otherwise, he would've caused a major accident.
While there weren't many cars, that didn't mean that there were absolutely no cars.
As Donovan Taylor sped forward, a car was headed in his direction.
Both drivers slammed on their brakes.
Hiss!
They were both luxury cars and had stopped just in time.
Donovan Taylor got out of his car and knocked on the other car's window.
The moment the driver got out, Donovan Taylor threw a punch to the other's face.
"F*ck! Do you have a death wish?" Donovan Taylor shouted as he punched the other driver, and he even landed a kick on that man. Then, he sauntered off.
As Donovan Taylor walked off, that man wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. He narrowed his eyes, feeling extremely conflicted.
This man was Shawn Gold. His father was Third Master Gold, and his daughter was Kimberly Gold. He had met Finn Taylor at the banquet, but they had only brushed shoulders with each other and hadn't interacted much.
It was only because his daughter said that she liked this man that he had started paying more attention to him. However, he had never expected them to meet for the second time under such circumstances.
'He has such a hot temper. Is it because he was too pampered, or was he just born like that?' Suddenly, Shawn Gold didn't think it was such a good thing that his daughter liked this man.
After returning home, he sat in the living room, waiting for Third Master Gold to wake up.
Third Master Gold had the habit of waking up early to exercise.
"Dad, I have something to ask you."
Third Master Gold was quite pleased with his son. Although Shawn Gold was nowhere near as capable as himself when it came to handling company affairs, he was reliable and open to taking suggestions from others and ran the company well.
"What happened to your face?" In Third Master Gold's memories, his son was a good kid who had never fought with anyone.
"I nearly got into an accident last night. The other driver punched me."
"Was it your fault?"
"No, it was his. He was speeding and ran a red light."
Third Master Gold frowned. 'How unreasonable. He was speeding, ran a red light, almost caused an accident, and still punched the other driver?'
"Dad, you know that man too."
"I know him? Who is it?" Third Master Gold was even more curious about that crazy man.
"Finn Taylor."
"Finn Taylor?"
"Yes, Finn Taylor."
"Finn Taylor!" Third Master Gold's expression was stiff. 'That can't be. Finn Taylor has always been very humble and respectful. If Shawn is right, I'd never have agreed to Kimberly wooing him.'
But Third Master Gold understood his son well—he would never lie to his father. Besides, this would be easy to investigate.
'Could it be that Finn Taylor has been putting on an act in front of me?' Third Master Gold felt a sudden chill run down his back. 'If that's the case, Finn Taylor really is too scheming. My precious granddaughter will never have a blissful life if she were to marry him.'

The Sun's Remnant
Two people are transported to a world with magic, but it is no Wonderland. When the god of light died, he decided to take the world with him. At least, that’s what many believe in the Kingdom of Rhine, a once vast kingdom of which only a small corner remains — and even that is threatened. On one side, by the Twisted Forest, a corruption spreading from the deathplace of the gods that has already swallowed up most of Rhine. On the other, by the resurgent Kagrathan Empire, resurrected by the infallible God-Emperor Karlatz. A holy order of knights carry out their mission despite the death of their god. A band of talented misfits prepare for a heist out of their league — by stealing. Mages hunt for secrets even as the world ends. A ruler does what must be done to save the living, no matter the cost. Into this world of magic and murder, two adrift souls are inexplicably dragged: a mother estranged from her young daughter due to her own mistakes, and a young man with a love of fantasy who has gradually drifted away from his friends and family. As they each struggle to find their place in this world, they must also answer the question: do they want one?***Content Warning: I've drafted about 100,000 words (most of the first volume), and there is no sexual content so far, though I may add it in the future. There is occasionally gore and traumatising content as the story demands. I commit to keeping all of the above non-voyeuristic. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Dragged into a dying world of cultivation, Laude’s journey to expunge his cultivation base and return to mortalhood will take him across Oseo and into the shadow of a heavenly conspiracy so monumental that it could endanger all of Oseo and beyond…
