Chapter 326 - Sending Master Peregrine Off

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

‘I didn’t want to go so far, but since you were so rude to us and treated us this way when we came all the way to your wedding, I’ll let you see what the consequences of offending me are.’ 

It was naturally because of Finn Taylor’s instructions that Ronan Simpson was fired. The company he was working for had always collaborated with Hunter Sullivan. Without the latter, they would probably lose 80% of their revenue.

A human resources manager didn’t mean much to them.

Finn Taylor simply told Hunter Sullivan to let them know.

He got up and smiled blandly as he looked around the venue that was in a mess. “Oh, right. You gave me your blessings earlier, so it’s only right that I do the same.”

With that, Finn Taylor picked up his wife’s hand and walked out.

Of course, Linda James wasn’t going to leave. She had to stay to watch the show.

…

When the couple returned home, they saw a piece of paper on the table. There was a short message on it: “Come to Grand Hotel if you want to see Clarine Landon alive.”

Grand Hotel.

The couple shared a glance, shock evident in their eyes.

This was the hotel Willow Stone was staying in.

They had suspected that Willow Stone had kidnapped Clarine Landon, but there was nothing they could do since they had no evidence.

Finn Taylor had instructed Horned Serpent to look for the young lady, but it was to no avail. However, the former believed that the kidnapper would eventually get in contact with them if they had kidnapped Clarine Landon with a motive.

But now, it looked like the other party could no longer hold it in.

“Dad, where’s the paper from?” The couple had been away at the wedding, and Francis Larson had been the only one at home. Finn Taylor wanted to know how the paper had turned up.

“This? I don’t know.” Unfortunately, Francis Larson didn’t know either.

Finn Taylor thought it strange, so he checked the surveillance footage. What surprised him was that it was a bird that had brought the piece of paper in!

‘Who sent it here? Is it really Willow Stone?’ Filled with doubts, Finn Taylor headed to Grand Hotel. However, he didn’t allow his wife to tag along.

It was too dangerous.

There was no way Finn Taylor was going to risk his wife’s life.

…

Willow Stone learned of Finn Taylor’s arrival at the hotel.

“Finn is here? What’s going on?” The young lady was shocked. ‘Is he here for me? That can’t be. I haven’t contacted him recently. Do you mean he’s willing to get together with me now? But that’s impossible. I haven’t heard about Finn and Yvette getting into a quarrel lately.’

Actually, Finn Taylor had always thought that Willow Stone was the culprit before arriving at the hotel. But after arriving at the hotel, he spotted two men in black—as well as an elder in a robe waiting for him.

As he walked in, the three walked forward.

“Timothy Taylor.”

Finn Taylor was confused. ‘They’re not calling me Finn Taylor but Timothy Taylor. Willow Stone shouldn’t know of that name, so who are they?’

“Lead the way.” Finn Taylor knew that there was no point in saying anymore and that he would only understand what was going on after he met the other.

He followed the trio upstairs. Unlike what Finn Taylor was expecting, they weren’t headed to the ninth floor but the eleventh.

‘Wait a minute! What’s going on? Is Willow Stone not the one behind this?’ Doubts formed in Finn Taylor’s mind as he opened the door and walked into the room.

The two men in black didn’t follow him in but stood guard at the door. Only that elder followed him in.

Upon walking in, Finn Taylor spotted a couple in the room.

The man was leaning against the table, a wine glass in his hand as he sipped on the wine from time to time.

As for the lady, she was seated in front of the piano, playing a song that Finn Taylor didn’t recognize.

Finn Taylor didn’t interrupt her, simply listening to the tune.

Only when it ended did the lady turn around. “Hello, Timothy Taylor.”

The elegant young lady was different from the kidnapper Finn Taylor had in mind.

“Do you guys have Clarine Landon?” Finn Taylor wasn’t interested in anything but Clarine Landon’s safety.

“Don’t worry. She’s fine.”

“I want to meet her.”

“You can make a call to your wife. She should’ve reached your house by now; we released her.”

‘They released her?’ Finn Taylor was confused. ‘Who are they? What do they want? They spent so much effort to kidnap Clarine to call me here. But now that I’m here, they released her?’ 

Before he could make the call, his spouse called. Just as the woman had said, Clarine Landon was back—safe and sound.

After hanging up, Finn Taylor turned to the mysterious woman in front of him. “Who are you? What do you want?”

The woman didn’t have any time to say a thing before the man spoke up. “Why are you raising your voice? How did your family raise such a piece of trash? How could you be so rude to your relative?”

‘The Taylor family? Relative?’ Finn Taylor could sort of guess what was going on.

“My name is Melanie Taylor, and his name is Levi Taylor. We’re technically your cousins.”

Finn Taylor had already guessed so. “Are you Eugene Taylor’s descendants?”

“How dare you call him by his name?”

“Hehe!” Finn Taylor could hardly be bothered with the other. Although Eugene Taylor was his grandfather’s elder brother, the three of them were of equal status. Besides, they hadn’t had much interaction after that falling out.

‘I’ll call that old man whatever I want.’ 

“Let’s not waste time. Why did you call me here?”

“There’s something to discuss with you. Brian Taylor is missing, Jacob Taylor is dead, and Donovan Taylor is locked up in the dark pool. Timothy Taylor, you’re just a useless matrilocal son-in-law. There’s nobody left in your branch who can head the Taylor family. Our family is here to ask you to hand over the position of Master Peregrine. What do you think about that?” Levi Taylor was stern, and he had no intention of discussing the matter.

Although Finn Taylor had no interest in being Master Peregrine, others could dream on about him handing the position over.
