Chapter 338: Three Things
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“It looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. I naturally can’t miss out on it.”
Melanie Taylor let out a meaningful smile.
“Do you mean that you want to get involved too?”
…
Finn Taylor had only wanted to draw Willow Stone out, but never had he expected to draw the Taylor siblings out too!
Over the next few days, several things happened in San Francisco.
Firstly, there was a public announcement that Willow Stone and Quince Larson’s companies would force an alliance and that anyone who worked with either of them would be working with both companies.
This announcement drew waves in the business circle.
Quince Larson had previously approached several companies, yet they had all been waiting by the sidelines. The main reasons were that Quince Larson was incapable and that they were afraid of losing their money.
But things were now different with Willow Stone in the picture. Everyone had seen just how capable she was. As such, those companies were now willing to work with Quince Larson.
Of course, the latter was no fool and reduced his offer too.
In the past, he had offered five times the market price, but he was only offering twice the market price now.
Although the sum had significantly decreased, it would still benefit them compared to working with Finn Taylor. As such, many still agreed to the offer.
The other thing that happened was in Yvette Larson’s company. Because of the changes, Francis Larson had taken over the position of company chairman.
Although they were a family, the problem lay in how Yvette Larson no longer went to the office once she stepped down from the position.
Even Finn Taylor no longer showed up in the office.
Now, the ones making all decisions were Francis Larson and Linda James. More accurately, Linda James was the one in charge of the company.
Very obviously, the company would only go downhill under her management, and their partners quickly left one after another.
This naturally worried their employees, who tried frantically to get through to Yvette Larson. However, all calls to the latter went unanswered. Left with no other choice, they could only call Hunter Sullivan.
Yet, he made his stance clear too. He had already sold all his shares in the company, so it had nothing to do with him anymore.
With nobody managing the company, the employees had no choice but to try dealing with the chairman. They rushed into the chairman’s office, only to find it empty!
Nobody had realized that the couple had slipped away and was no longer in the office. Since they were now chairmen of the company and were rich, they had gone out to have their own fun.
Linda James had invited her friends to play cards while her husband had gone out drinking with his friends.
Their lives couldn’t get any more comfortable than this, but they never thought that danger was imminent.
Yvette Larson and Finn Taylor were sunbathing at the beach.
“Finn, I just took a look at the company’s financial report. It’s only been a week, but we’ve already lost half of our assets.” Yvette Larson still had no idea what her husband was planning and was rather worried about the state the company was in.
“Just half? That’s a little slow.”
Yvette Larson shrugged. ‘I really don’t understand what’s going on, but I’m sure Finn has a reason for doing all this.’
This was just the second thing that happened in San Francisco lately. The third was that a new company named South City had been established.
Of course, there were countless companies being established in such a huge city every day, and the establishment of a new one shouldn’t be news.
However, this company was different. The moment they appeared, they clinched a project worth a billion dollars!
That was a huge sum of money—probably more than what 99% of the companies in San Francisco were worth.
Things were starting to heat up in the city’s business circle.
Three strong powers were coming up: Finn Taylor and the Gold family, Quince Larson and Willow Stone, and Melanie Taylor and Levi Taylor.
The three powers pretty much ruled the entire city, and Finn Taylor’s company was now the weakest amongst the three.
Everyone knew that they were on the decline. Even those who Quince Larson hadn’t sought out earlier had taken the initiative to approach them.
They were probably trying to find a way out for themselves because they saw no hope in Finn Taylor’s company.
It was under such circumstances that Finn Taylor received a message from Willow Stone. “Master Peregrine, I’ll wait for you at Room 303 of Rocky Hills Hotel.”
Finn Taylor frowned as he read the message. He then smiled without saying a thing.
When he returned home, Finn Taylor spotted his mother-in-law scolding Diane Taylor. “What’s going on, Mom?”
“Her cooking has gotten worse. I just lectured her, and she started crying!”
Slightly suspicious, Finn Taylor took a taste of the food in the pot. “It tastes the same as before.”
“What do you mean? Things are different now. I’m a chairman now, and how can a chairman eat something like that?”
Finn Taylor chuckled.?‘Just as I expected—she’s up to her antics again. Just because she has a little status now, she has forgotten all about what happened in the past.’
“Mr. Taylor, I…” Diane Taylor felt aggrieved.
“Come over.” Finn Taylor called the young girl to the living room. “Diane, here is 1,500 dollars. Make a trip to San Diego and stay with your sister for the time being.”
“N-no, Mr. Taylor. Don’t chase me away. I don’t blame her. It’s true that I haven’t gotten better at cooking.”
Finn Taylor shook his head. “Listen to me. Take this and go to San Diego. Something has happened in the family; I’ll pick you up as soon as we resolve the matter.”
He then stuffed the stack of cash into the other’s hands.
Tears welled up in Diane Taylor’s eyes. “Mr. Taylor, I’ve heard about what happened to the company. Please let me know if you need my help.”
He shook his head. “No, no. Just take this money and go to San Diego.”
Finn Taylor was about to leave when the young girl stopped him. “Hold on, Mr. Taylor.”
He turned back to see the young girl kneeling down on the ground. “Please stay safe, Mr. Taylor.”
He quickly rushed back to help the other up from the ground.?‘I think Diane is mistaken. She probably thinks that my life is in danger since the company is on the brink of bankruptcy.’?
Finn Taylor wanted to explain himself, but it wasn’t the right time for that.. With no other choice, he left the room.
