The second Yvette Larson flashed that document, the entire room fell into dead silence.

The faces of the Larson family members that had just criticized her seconds earlier fell and contorted.

Of course, Quince Larson’s expression was the most sour.

“Everyone, gather in the meeting room! We’re going to have a meeting!” With that said, Yvette Larson turned on her heels and headed for the meeting room.

As she walked past Quince Larson, she paused. “Of course, there’s no need for those who are no longer part of the company to show up.”

It was clear whom she was referring to—Quince Larson.

‘You already sold the company and are no longer the chairman of the Larson Corporation. What are you even doing here today?’

Quince Larson gritted his teeth. He couldn’t wait to charge up to Yvette Larson and punch her straight in the face.

Yet, he had no choice but to suppress those urges out of fear as he glanced at the two muscular men standing by his cousin’s side.

The Larson Corporation’s conference room.

Yvette Larson sat at the head of the table, with the rest of higher management beside her—including Eleanor Larson.

Seated at the other end of the table was Hunter Sullivan. “Ms. Larson, regarding the losses that the Sullivan family sustained…”

“The Larson family will take full responsibility for it.”

Hunter Sullivan nodded in satisfaction before leaving.

Of course, the Larson family members were displeased. “Yvette Larson, what do you mean by that? Did you just agree to pay him whatever he wants? Even if he wants a billion dollars?”

Yvette Larson looked toward Eleanor Larson and smiled. “Firstly, the Larson Corporation is obliged to do so. Secondly, Quince has already sold the company. The Larson family no longer has the final say now. I’m the chairman, and I’ll make the call. Thirdly, you’ve been fired, Eleanor. You don’t have any right to continue kicking up a fuss here.”

Eleanor Larson was fuming, yet there was nothing more she could do. Before she could say anything, the two muscular men hauled her out.

“Does anyone else want to say anything?” The moment Yvette Larson’s voice sounded, she swept a chilling gaze across the room.

All the Larson family members couldn’t help but lower their eyes to avoid her piercing gaze. Now, not a single one of them dared to go against her.

…

San Diego.

As soon as Lucy Lawrence escaped from San Diego Grand hotel, she fled to her rented apartment. There, she met her roommate—Lindsey Taylor.

“Lindsey, do you have any money with you? Can you lend me some money?”

Lucy Lawrence intended on leaving the city because the thought of staying terrified her. ‘Even Philip Smith and the other old men were no match for that young chap—what more me? Besides, that young man completely ignored me. If he really pursues the matter, I might really die!’

“L-let me take a look.”

Before Lindsey Taylor could even open her wallet, the other snatched it from her hands and grabbed all the money in it. “Lindsey, I’ve gotten into some trouble lately. Just lend me some money first—I’ll definitely return it to you in the future.”

Lindsey Taylor felt a little awkward. ‘That is everything I have, yet how am I supposed to reject her?’

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Lucy Lawrence rushed to open the door as a distraction.

She was greeted by the sight of Minnie Jensen, who rushed up to Lindsey Taylor. “Lindsey, I’m so sorry for what I did to you in the past. Please forgive me.”

Lindsey Taylor wasn’t a petty person who held grudges. Since it had already happened, she’d simply let it go.

“Let bygones be bygones. I won’t pursue the matter.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much! Lindsey, my dad instructed me to come here. He said that he’d hire you as a manager in our company. You can take your pick of the department you’d like to work in. The pay will start from 450,000 dollars. What do you think about that? Please, I’m begging you.”

Minnie Jensen’s words left Lindsey Taylor dumbfounded. ‘What’s going on? Take my pick of the department, and an annual salary of 450,000 dollars?’ 

When Lucy Lawrence heard that, her eyes lit up. ‘I’ve always thought that she was a useless fool. The only use I had for her was to keep Nathan Smith in check. I never thought that she’d be so impressive!’ 

“450,000 dollars? You must be making this up. Who’s going to believe you? Why don’t you give us 150,000 dollars as proof first?”

Minnie Jensen glanced at the notification on her phone. “I only have 30,000 dollars in this account. I’ll transfer everything to you. Will that do?”

‘30,000? They must be joking! But it doesn’t seem like they’re joking either.’

“Go and transfer it over. Lindsey, give her your account number and see if she transfers it to you.”

Still in a daze, Lindsey Taylor provided the other with her bank account number.

Minnie Jensen then transferred the money over!

Lindsey Taylor didn’t feel much even after seeing that sum of money. Instead, it was Lucy Lawrence who turned jealous.

“Lindsey, I’m begging you. That’s all I have on me. Can you agree to my proposal for now and work at my father’s company? Otherwise, my dad will definitely kill me!” For Minnie Jensen, the image of Finn Taylor commanding the four old men was still fresh in her mind. ‘His background is far more impressive than I can even imagine. If I don’t get close to someone like that now, I’ll never get the chance to do so in the future!’

“Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and agree to it!”

Lucy Lawrence prodded her roommate—who was still in a daze.

Although Lindsey Taylor had no idea why the other was offering such a proposition, it was a good thing for her. As such, she eventually agreed to it.

After Minnie Jensen left, Lucy Lawrence tried sucking up to her roommate once again. “Lindsey, I treat you pretty well, right? Can you lend me that 30,000 dollars?”

“Huh?” Lindsey Taylor was stunned. ‘What is she trying to do? It’s good enough that she snatched my money away earlier. Does she want this 30,000 dollars too? Besides, something seems amiss. She looks like she’s going to run away with this money. Will she even return the money to me if I lend it to her?’

“Sister Lucy, I-I need this money too.”

The moment Lucy Lawrence heard those words, she knew that Lindsey Taylor wasn’t going to lend her this money. With that, her expression changed immediately. “Hand your phone to me.”

Lucy Lawrence snatched the phone over and very skillfully transferred the 30,000 dollars over to herself.

“Scram, you idiot!” With that, she smashed the phone on the ground and was just about to leave.

That was when Lindsey Taylor held onto her, refusing to let go.

“Scram!” Eventually, Lucy Lawrence managed to break free of the other’s grip, not forgetting to give her roommate a good kick in the stomach before leaving.

Lindsey Taylor clutched her stomach and groaned in pain as she lay on the ground.

At the same time, Finn Taylor was getting ready to leave San Diego.. He was about to have a meal with Lindsey Taylor for the last time, so he made a call to her.
