Knock knock!

Yvette Larson asked the other to enter.

Her assistant entered and walked up to Finn Taylor. “Mr. Taylor, Mr. Hunter Sullivan is waiting in the lobby. I invited him in, but he refused, saying that he would only enter after he gets your permission.”

“Alright, go back to work.”

“Huh?” The assistant was confused. ‘I thought that Finn Taylor would ask him to come in, but he didn’t say anything. What is going on?’

Afraid that her assistant would be nosy, Yvette Larson chased the former away.

The assistant didn’t know what was going on, but she quickly left without asking anything.

Once she left, Yvette Larson handed a document to her husband. “Take a look at this.”

“What’s this?” Finn Taylor asked as he scanned through the document.

Its content was simple: Yvette Larson simply wanted to reward those who had made contributions to the company.

“Is there anything wrong with it?”

“Remove this.” Finn Taylor pointed at Hunter Sullivan’s name.

Yvette Larson glanced at it. “Do I really have to? Hunter Sullivan has made great contributions to the company. What will others think of this?”

“Listen to me and remove his name.”

“Does it have anything to do with Raymond Anderson?”

Finn Taylor shook his head. “It has nothing to do with him.”

That confused Yvette Larson even more. ‘What does Finn mean?’

“Remove these three names as well.” Finn Taylor pointed at the other three guardians’ names.

The three men held some shares in the company but hadn’t made many contributions to the company. As such, Yvette Larson hadn’t given them much reward.

It was practically nothing, yet Finn Taylor still chose to remove their names.

“Call for a shareholders’ meeting.”

That confused Yvette Larson even more. ‘What’s he up to?’

Nonetheless, Yvette Larson did as her spouse said.

In other companies, there would probably be a week’s notice before a shareholders’ meeting. However, the Larson Corporation held the meeting that very afternoon after the announcement.

Who knew how the shareholders felt about the meeting?

“Call my assistant in.” Yvette Larson called for her assistant.

“Is Hunter Sullivan still outside?” Finn Taylor asked.

“Yes, Mr. Taylor. Mr. Sullivan is still waiting outside.”

“Ask him to leave. Tell him to attend the shareholders’ meeting this afternoon.”

The assistant simply did as he said without asking any questions.

“Tell Mom and Dad to come in the afternoon too.”

“What are you up to, Finn?” Yvette Larson felt as though something was amiss all of a sudden.

“You’ll see later on.”

Yvette Larson panicked. She still had no idea what her spouse was up to.

Time ticked by amidst the chaos.

As afternoon arrived, the shareholders started arriving.

The four guardians made their way there and sat on the sofa in the meeting room, not daring to say a word.

Just then, Linda James and Francis Larson arrived.

Finn Taylor invited them to their daughter’s office. After that, he brought his wife to the meeting room.

“Hello, Mr. Taylor. Hello, Ms. Larson.” Seeing the couple enter, everyone in the room stood up.

Finn Taylor turned to Hunter Sullivan. “What, you have shares in this company too. Why aren’t you coming in?”

The latter chuckled a little awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

“Hand those shares over if you don’t want them.”

He had no idea what Finn Taylor was saying. ‘Does he really hate me because of what happened with Raymond Anderson? But that’s impossible. That’s not something Master Peregrine would do.’

“You guys too. Hand all of your shares over.”

“Alright.” The other three guardians agreed without any hesitation.

Only Hunter Sullivan was left in a daze. “Mr. Taylor, regarding Raymond Anderson…”

Finn Taylor waved him off. “It has nothing to do with Raymond Anderson.”

“Nothing to do with him?” Hunter Sullivan was even more confused. ‘Since it has nothing to do with him, why do I need to hand over my shares? Is he not trying to put me in the spot? I don’t really care much about these shares though.’

“Gremlin gave Quince Larson ten billion to go against me. How impressive, but he unfortunately chose to give his money to a useless fool. So what if he has ten billion? Quince Larson has been trying to snatch clients away from us, and these customers are all waiting to see what will happen. It’s true that Quince Larson has offered them a huge sum of money, but everyone knows about his abilities too. That’s why everyone hasn’t really signed anything even though they’ve verbally agreed to it. Do you know what I want to do now?”

Everyone was listening intently. They knew of one thing: Finn Taylor was going to do something important.

“I want to spend Quince Larson’s ten billion dollars. I want all of you to hand over your shares to Linda James and Francis Larson. Leave the two of them to run the company from now on.”

‘They’ve never run a company, so this company will definitely fall. Since this company was established by the Larson family, I’m sure Quince Larson will find a way to acquire this company in order to become the family head. That’s exactly what we want. We need to dry up the company’s resources in the shortest time possible. It’ll be fun to see Quince Larson buying nothing but a paper company. Let’s see how Gremlin will deal with him after wasting ten billion then.’

‘I was so worried that Finn Taylor wanted my shares because I offended him, but it seems like I’m not the one who offended him. It’s Quince Larson. To be honest, Quince Larson is really unlucky. Of all people to offend, he offended Finn Taylor! He wasn’t even good in business to begin with. I’m sure he doesn’t even know how to use those ten billion dollars.’ 

“Remember to act natural during the shareholders’ meeting later.”

Hunter Sullivan was stunned. “What do you mean? Are we not going to tell them about it?”

Yvette Larson cupped her face. “I don’t want to admit to it, but I think it’s best if we keep it from my mom.. If we tell her about it, the whole world will probably hear of it too.”
