Chapter 187 - The Innocent Larson Family Daydreaming

“Eleanor, what are you saying? Since you’re pregnant with Mr. Scott’s child and he’s willing to marry you, it’s only right that you marry him.”

“That’s right, Eleanor. It’ll be the greatest honor of your life to marry Mr. Scott. It’s just a paternity test. We haven’t done anything wrong, so what are you afraid of?”

“Yes! After the paternity test, Eleanor will marry into the Scott family. Then, the whole family will enjoy the benefits!”

“They’re all daughters of the Larson family, but some are able to bring us to such great heights while others are such disgraces to us.”

“Forget that we’ve been humiliated because of her, but it’s really bad luck that we nearly had to close down our company because of her too!”

‘What are these people thinking? It’s fine if they want to praise Eleanor Larson, but why do they have to bring Yvette into the picture?’ However, Finn Taylor didn’t say anything because he knew that these people were going to pay for their words very soon.

. 

“No, I’m not going to get a paternity test done.”

Nobody in the Larson family understood why Eleanor Larson was so firm about not getting a paternity test done.

Such a bright future was awaiting all of them, and nobody was willing to give that up now.

“Eleanor Larson, that’s not up to you to decide. As the family head, I demand that you get a paternity test done.”

Earlier on, the Larson family had all made their requests.

Of course, Quince Larson was no exception since he was the family head. In fact, he had even used his status to make the most extravagant request. ‘It now seems like everything is going down the drain. There’s no way I’m going to let that happen.’

He couldn’t care less about his relationship with his cousin and simply made a decision for her.

“No, I’m never going to do it.”

“Even if we have to tie you up to bring you there, we’ll do it.”

Seeing the scene playing out in front of him, Finn Taylor couldn’t help but chuckle.

Yvette Larson was confused. “Finn, what’s going on?”

“You don’t understand, do you?” Finn Taylor knocked against the table.

Alexander Scott nodded. With that command, he could proceed to the last step. “Everyone must be curious as to why Eleanor Larson would rather not marry me than get a paternity test done, right?”

Hearing Alexander Scott’s words, the entire Larson family put smiles on their faces. “That’s not it. She’s just throwing a tantrum—we’ll teach her well.”

Alexander Scott sneered. “A tantrum? I don’t think so.”

With that, he nodded.

His bodyguard then took out a projector and projected a video on the wall.

“This is why she’ll never do a paternity test even if it means death.”

Everyone turned their attention to the wall. They could clearly spot Eleanor Larson stumbling out of a bar, obviously drunk.

Then, she fell to the ground. At that very moment, several young men walked out of the bar too.

The Larson family clearly saw Eleanor Larson being dragged into the men’s car. At that, everyone’s eyes shot toward her.

A bad thought surfaced in their minds.

Then, the car shook.

Eleanor Larson was then thrown out of the car with disheveled clothes. After that, the men sped off in their car.

Alexander Scott’s gaze was set on Eleanor Larson. “Were you afraid that I’d find out about this? You know very well just how many men you’ve slept with, so how dare a sl*t like you try to get into the Scott family? You can dream on! And all of you—Quince Larson, Frederick Larson, Franklin Larson… Who are you? Did you think that you’d be able to extort money from me just because of that b*tch? You must be dreaming!”

Those words were like a slap in the face to the Larson family. Yet, none of them dared to utter a word as Alexander Scott lambasted them.

The truth was clear.

“Apart from the eldest branch, are any of your families really innocent? You guys even laugh at Finn Taylor for being a useless matrilocal son-in-law, but from what I see, he’s the one supporting your entire family. Without their family, the Larson family would be on the verge of bankruptcy. Of course, I don’t think it’s strange that Eleanor Larson would do this. After all, it isn’t even the first time you three families are doing something so shameless. Isn’t that right, Franklin Larson? Isn’t that right, Frederick Larson? Isn’t that right, Hilary Stone?”

With that, Alexander Scott turned around and left, leaving only the second, third, and fourth branches of the Larson family there with terribly sour expressions.

Everyone glared at Eleanor Larson with piercing stares. ‘It’s all this woman’s fault. If not for her shameless act, the ugly truth that the Larson family had kept under wraps for decades wouldn’t have been revealed.’ 

Finn Taylor stretched and chuckled. “The innocent Larson family daydreaming.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, he picked up his wife’s hand and strode out.

Typically, anyone would’ve started lashing out at Finn Taylor if he were to mock them. But now, nobody dared to say a thing.

It would be humiliating.

‘The innocent Larson family daydreaming.’ Yvette Larson muttered under her breath and then turned to her husband. “What a good day!”

After returning home, Yvette Larson told her parents about everything that had happened.

Hearing that, Linda James scoffed. “The second, third, and fourth branches have always been bullying us. Everyone knows that they’re in cahoots just because of that scandal they caused back then. Who would’ve thought that the daughter would be as shameless as her father?”

Unlike Linda James, Francis Larson massaged his temples. Then, he said to his daughter, “Yvette, I heard that you resigned. Because of that, the Sullivan family ended their collaboration with us. Why? Do you really want the Larson family to go bankrupt?”

Yvette Larson was a Larson too. Although she would be able to get back at the family if they were to go bankrupt, there was one barrier she would never be able to overcome—showing her grandpa that she was better than Quince Larson and that the Larson Corporation would definitely do well in her hands.

But now, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. It seemed like she wouldn’t have that chance anymore.

“Dad, I know. Don’t force me—let me think about it.”

Finn Taylor looked at his wife meaningfully. ‘It seems like it’s time for me to deal with someone.’
