Chapter 172 - Carrying her Bags

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Alexander Scott stood up and slapped Eleanor Larson right in the face. “Are you threatening me? Who are you to do that?”

At that moment, the entire room fell into dead silence. ‘What just happened?’

Yet, Alexander Scott’s strong aura frightened everyone so much that they dared not even let out a breath. It was Alexander Scott they were talking about, and he was raging!

“You hit me? How dare you hit me?” Eleanor Larson clutched her face, her eyes filled with disbelief. ‘How dare Alexander Scott hit me? Doesn’t he know that I gave my most precious body to him? Yet, he dared to hit me!’

“I… Alexander Scott, are you mad? Are you going to go against me? Don’t you know that I have evidence against you?”

Alexander Scott chuckled in the face of Eleanor Larson’s threat. He stretched his hand into his pocket and took out a stack of photos.”Are you talking about this?”

Alexander Scott spread the photos out for Eleanor Larson, whose face immediately drained of all color. In those photos, Eleanor Larson was stripped naked.

Alexander Scott flung those photos into the air.

As they fell, the other Larson family members quickly picked them up out of curiosity. The sight of those photos soured all their expressions in an instant.

Quince Larson quickly collected all the photos before placing them face down on the table. He then slammed the table and roared, “Eleanor Larson, look at what you’ve done! You’ve utterly embarrassed the Larson family!”

Eleanor Larson was in despair as her cousin lambasted her. ‘The only reason I had fallen into Alexander Scott’s trap was that Quince Larson had taken me to visit the latter again and again. Every time, Quince Larson would find an excuse to leave, leaving me alone in Alexander Scott’s house. That was how I had eventually managed to crawl into his bed. Quince Larson had clearly planned for all that to happen, yet he’s now pushing all blame and responsibility to me!’

Eleanor Larson tried to defend herself but couldn’t find a good argument. Eventually, she gave up.

They had lost in this meeting—they had all lost. The only winners were Yvette Larson and Finn Taylor.

Eleanor Larson felt terribly indignant. ‘My reputation in the Larson family has already been ruined. There is no way of salvaging it.’

Finn Taylor left with his wife, along with all the prizes. He glanced at the latter, saying, “All these belong to you. I won’t let anyone else have them.”

She shot her husband a meaningful glance.

She had gone to look for Hunter Sullivan that day, wanting to find out about her husband’s whereabouts. Unexpectedly, Alexander Scott had shown up too.

Although they hadn’t said anything, Yvette Larson’s instincts told her that they were all related. However, she chose not to dwell on it. ‘Since my husband hasn’t told me about it, it means that it isn’t time for me to learn about it yet.’

…

The Gold family’s residence in San Francisco.

Third Master Gold had just instructed his granddaughter to bring Finn Taylor over for a good chat, yet he paused. ‘Something seems amiss. The reason I didn’t know about Finn Taylor’s true identity was that the latter didn’t want it exposed. Since that’s the case, I’m simply bringing trouble upon myself by exposing him now. No, that won’t do. Since Finn Taylor wants to put an on act, I’ll have to go along with him. I can’t get in his bad books.’

“Grandpa, are you looking for me?” Just then, Kimberly Gold arrived.

Third Master Gold decided to tweak his plans. “Kimberly, you haven’t met Finn Taylor in a long time. Aren’t you going to look for him?”

Kimberly Gold was frustrated. “I want to, but I don’t have a good reason to look for him.”

“What do you mean? If you’re interested in him, I’ll surely support you all the way. Oh right, Aaron Jensen’s granddaughter is back. Why don’t you take Kelly Jensen out shopping and call Finn Taylor to carry your things for you?”

“It doesn’t seem very nice to make Finn Taylor carry my things, don’t you think?” Kimberly Gold was thinking about how cold Finn Taylor was to her even when she treated him so well. If she got any fiercer toward him, he might very well just ignore her.

“You brat, you’ve never been in a relationship! Look at how you’re on the losing end now. Let me give you some advice: He has to make a move too. Otherwise, there’s no way you guys will get anywhere. Do you think Finn Taylor will fall for you just because you’re nice to him? You have to make him work for you. Only then will he cherish you. Once he has invested too much in this relationship, he’ll have no choice but to stay with you.”

Although Kimberly Gold was in quite a daze, she still thought that her grandpa made sense. As such, she made a call to Kelly Jensen to ask her out on a date.

Third Master Gold and Aaron Jensen were good friends, but that didn’t mean that they were equals.

Aaron Jensen liked playing chess, but he needed to put food on the table too. As such, their family needed to suck up to the Gold family.

In fact, the Jensen family had gotten a lot out of Kelly Jensen’s relationship with Kimberly Gold. Of course, the former wasn’t going to refuse her best friend’s offer.

Very quickly, Kelly Jensen arrived at the Gold family’s residence.

Not long after they began shopping, Kimberly Gold started grumbling about how tired she was.

Although Kelly Jensen had some complaints in her heart, she didn’t know what was up with her best friend. In the past, the latter had never groaned even after a five or six-hour-long shopping trip.

It had only been an hour, yet Kimberly gold was already looking for a cafe to rest in.

While Kelly Jensen didn’t understand her best friend, she understood something—there were some things best left unsaid.

It would be her fault if she were to delve into something the other didn’t want to talk about. As such, Kelly Jensen took the initiative to look for a cafe.

Then, they each ordered a glass of milk tea.

As soon as Kimberly Gold sat down, she dialed for Finn Taylor. “Finn Taylor, I’ve sent you the address. I bought a lot of things. Hurry over and help me carry them.”

Finn Taylor felt that the whole situation was incredulous. ‘Kimberly Gold is the precious young lady of the Gold family. It’s impossible that there’s nobody to help her with her shopping bags. Even if that’s so, she could’ve simply called for a hundred luxurious cars over. Why did she have to call me over?’

But on account of that luxurious car she had given him, Finn Taylor had no choice but to head over.

“Who did you call?” Kelly Jensen asked out of curiosity.

“Finn Taylor.”

Upon hearing that name, Kelly Jensen couldn’t help but frown.
