Chapter 330 - Cold Shoulder

Just like that, Harvey Little arrived at Mercy Orphanage with Raymond Anderson. After that, the latter rushed into the orphanage.

Still not sensing anything amiss, the former strolled in without any sense of urgency.

“Hurry up, Harvey. Where are they? Where’s Mr. Taylor?”

To Harvey Little, Finn Taylor was just an insignificant character. He had never thought that the latter would be anyone of importance. As such, he hadn’t realized that Raymond Anderson was addressing Finn Taylor as ‘Mr. Taylor.’

It was obvious that the former respected him. Unfortunately, Harvey Little hadn’t caught on.

Walking into the meeting room and realizing that the group was still there, he rejoiced inwardly. ‘I was so worried that Finn Taylor would’ve left. Thank god they’re still here.’

He hated Finn Taylor and had a crush on Jamie Little. Ever since he was young, he had thought of the other Little as his girlfriend. But the last time he came, he had clearly seen Jamie Little treating Finn Taylor as her crush.

That was when Finn Taylor had become his enemy.

If Finn Taylor wanted to go east, he’d go west. He would do everything that Finn Taylor didn’t want to do.

‘It’s not like I really want to demolish Mercy Orphanage. It’s your fault, Finn Taylor. You forced me to do it.’ 

It was difficult to understand his logic. It was clearly his fault, yet he was trying to push the blame to someone else.

“Finn Taylor, I’ve invited Mr. Anderson over. I’m going to make sure you get down on your knees.”

“Oh, Raymond Anderson is here.” Hearing that Raymond Anderson had made a personal trip here, Finn Taylor’s lips curled up into a smile.

Everything was under his control, but the director didn’t know that.

She was now in a frenzy because she had heard of Raymond Anderson too. ‘He’s a famous entrepreneur from New York and has even been listed on the Forbes list. There’s no way we’d be able to stand up against such an influential figure. All we can do now is try to negotiate with him in hopes that he’s a kind and understanding person that will give up his plans once he learns of our story.’ 

But needless to say, self-interests mattered most to businessmen. As such, the director didn’t have much hope of convincing the other.

“What, are you afraid now that you hear his name?” Harvey Little was arrogant and tried to beat the other down using Raymond Anderson’s name.

He was really shameless.

“Come on; invite Raymond Anderson in. Let’s see how afraid I’ll get.”

Harvey Little sneered. ‘Why is he still trying to put on an act even now?’

“Mr. Anderson, this is Finn Taylor. He’s the one who is standing in our way.” Harvey Little invited the other in.

Unexpectedly, Raymond Anderson immediately gave Finn Taylor a deep bow. “Greetings, Mr. Taylor. I’m Raymond Anderson of New York.”

His tone was extremely humble. Because of his relationship with Hunter Sullivan, he had learned of the current situation of the Taylor family young master that none of them had thought well of.

He would never dare to cause any trouble for Finn Taylor. Otherwise, he might even lose his life.

“Raymond Anderson, it seems like your business is doing well. You must be doing so well that you’re even demolishing orphanages.”

“I wouldn’t dare to do that, Mr. Taylor.”

“You wouldn’t dare to do that? It seems like you would. If not for me, you would’ve demolished this place. What, is your family going bankrupt, and that’s why you need this money?”

Raymond Anderson was rendered speechless at the young man’s chiding. If anyone else had spoken to him in this manner, he would’ve retorted them. But this was Finn Taylor—Master Peregrine!

“What’s wrong, Mr. Anderson?” Harvey Little had invited him over to deal with Finn Taylor. The former wanted his opponent to kneel down before him and beg him for mercy.

Even so, he wouldn’t forgive him no matter what.

Yet, Harvey Little had never expected to see Raymond Anderson bow to Finn Taylor and offer the man an apology instead!

Raymond Anderson simply ignored Harvey Little. The latter was very insignificant to him, and he didn’t offer him much benefit anyway. In fact, Harvey Little had dug him a grave this time.

He had never been insistent on demolishing the orphanage. It was Harvey Little who had tried to persuade him about it, and he had agreed to it in a moment of folly.

Who would’ve expected this to invoke Finn Taylor’s fury?

“Mr. Taylor, I’m willing to accept any kind of punishment.”

“How much did you say you would offer for this place?”

Raymond Anderson didn’t dare to make a low offer. “30 million.”

“How interesting; Harvey Little said 15 million. Alright, I won’t put you in the spot. Donate 30 million to the orphanage, and I’ll take it as though nothing happened.”

‘Donate 30 million to the orphanage? This… That’s such a harsh punishment. But thinking about it, money means nothing if it can save my life.’

“Alright, I’ll donate 30 million.”

Although it pained him to part with that money, he was more afraid of offending Finn Taylor.

“Leave then, and take him with you. I’ll see what you’ll do with him.” His last sentence was no different from a death sentence for Harvey Little.

Finn Taylor was clearly incensed. ‘Either you or Harvey Little have to take the blame. Let’s see how you deal with Harvey Little then. If you don’t do it well, you can wait for me to deal with you.’ 

Raymond Anderson dragged the other man out. He then instructed his men to drag the latter into the woods.

He couldn’t care less about whether the other man would leave the woods alive.

After doing so, he headed to visit Hunter Sullivan. Yet, he was given the cold shoulder.

Hunter Sullivan wasn’t even at home.

‘What should I do? I guess the only thing I can do is wait here.’ He didn’t dare to leave, fearing that he would offend Hunter Sullivan. More importantly, he needed the latter’s protection.

Although Finn Taylor had not flared up at him, he could sense that the former had been annoyed.

This could easily cost him his life. Now, the only person who could save him was Hunter Sullivan.

He needed the latter’s help.
