The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine - Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Clarine Landon Stumbles into the Male Washroom   Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios A storm was brewing in the city.

Following the death of Jacob Taylor and Frida Cameron, it seemed like the Taylor family was on the brink of collapsing.

  Donovan Taylor had already been imprisoned in the dark pool.

Did that mean that a woman—Wendy Jensen—was going to helm the great Taylor family?   In fact, nobody even paid attention to Timothy Taylor, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

  Everyone knew full well that Timothy Taylor was the jinx of the Taylor family and had been despised by the family since he was a child.

Thus, there was no way someone like that could take over the family’s reins.

  All of Chicago’s prominent figures—Russell Ferguson, Elijah Crawford, Andrew Hamilton, and Edward Mackenzie—had already set their sights on having a piece of the Taylor family’s pie.

But just as they were getting ready to bring the Taylor family down, something happened.

  Overnight, Jacob Taylor’s cousins—Jefferson Taylor and Julian Taylor—entered the Taylor family to snatch power over the family from Wendy Jensen.

COM   As Wendy Jensen returned from her daze and tried to fight back, someone walked in—Benjamin Taylor.

  He was the Old Master of the Taylor family and Jacob Taylor’s second uncle.

  Benjamin Taylor was a centenarian and now held the highest position in the Taylor family.

Naturally, nobody in the family dared to go against him.

  Just like that, the Taylor family’s power was clearly consolidated.

It now seemed possible for the crumbling Taylor family to rebuild themselves again.

  This meant that all of those people had made preparations in vain.

  Russell Ferguson, Elijah Crawford, Andrew Hamilton, and Edward Mackenzie all turned up at the Taylor family’s residence with lavish gifts to greet Benjamin Taylor.

  Maximus Brugel silently took in the sight from afar, shaking his head as he stroked his beard.

 ‘It seems like it won’t be that easy for Finn to take over as the Taylor family head.

’   At that time, Finn Taylor’s grandfather—Brian Taylor—had chased his younger brother, Benjamin Taylor, out of Chicago after taking over the family’s helm.

  Who would’ve expected Brian Taylor’s descendants to land up in such a state? That was why Benjamin Taylor saw his chance.

  As such, he took his sons—Jefferson Taylor and Julian Taylor—back.

Right now, he had the highest position in the entire family.

Of course, Finn Taylor meant nothing to him.

  All that was going on in Chicago quickly reached Finn Taylor’s ears, but he simply gave a chuckle without saying anything.

  The Taylor family could do whatever they wanted to.

If Finn Taylor really cared about the Taylor family, he would simply build up a strong and powerful Taylor family himself.

  It was only on account of blood ties that he was allowing the Taylor family to survive and not fall.

  Hunter Sullivan was slightly shaken as he glanced at Finn Taylor’s expression.

  A week had passed since that incident, yet Hunter Sullivan was still unable to calm himself down.

  He had always thought that he knew just how vicious his boss was, but never in his life would he have expected the latter to be far more vicious than he had ever imagined.

  Just then, Finn Taylor received a call—it was from Clarine Landon.

  “Finn Taylor, hurry on over.

I’m being humiliated here.

”   He was stunned.

“What’s going on?”   “Stop asking me so many questions.

I’ll give you the address; we’ll talk when you’re here.

”   Finn Taylor then received an address, and he was dumbfounded.

 ‘What’s going on with Clarine Landon? She’s Yvette’s best friend.

I don’t think it would be good for me to ignore her.

’   As such, he set off for that address.

  “Babe, tell me.

Did you rush into the male washroom to peep on me?” A short and chubby man had his eyes fixed on Clarine Landon as he shamelessly spat out those words.

  Earlier on, Clarine Landon had bumped into a little kid in the mall.

She had taken him around in hopes of finding his parents, but he suddenly needed to use the washroom.

  Clarine Landon glanced at the kid helplessly and could only suggest bringing him to the female washroom.

Unfortunately, that kid vehemently refused to enter it.

  Left with no other choice, she could only bring the kid into the male washroom after ensuring that there was nobody else in there.

  Just then, that plump man entered the washroom.

  Seeing how beautiful Clarine Landon was, the man couldn’t hold his thoughts in.

  Of course, Clarine Landon wasn’t one to tolerate such nonsense and simply rebuked him.

  That was how the situation escalated, and now, there were almost a hundred bystanders around them.

  That man was utterly shameless and refused to let the matter go, spouting all sorts of nasty words.

  Clarine Landon felt downright humiliated as countless pairs of eyes were glued to her.

  There were even some who were taking photos to send to their friends.

  She had tried to explain herself, but it was to no avail.

Everyone was simply standing by the sidelines, treating it as a free show.

  Clarine Landon’s eyes were brimming with tears, and she was on the verge of tears.

However, she knew that it would be useless to cry.

  At that very moment, the mall manager—Tom Hadley—arrived.

  When Clarine Landon saw this, hope surged in her heart because Tom Hadley was her classmate.

She narrated what had happened to the latter without missing out any details, but to her surprise, Tom Hadley ignored her completely!   In fact, he shoved her straight to the ground.

“Are you done? No matter what or how much you say, you’re still a woman who barged into the men’s restroom.

”   Clarine Landon glared at Tom Hadley as she lay on the ground.

She couldn’t help but feel that the other felt terribly unfamiliar.

  They were classmates, so why did Tom Hadley refuse to believe her?   It then suddenly struck her that Tom Hadley seemed to have tried to woo her while they were still in school, but she had rejected him.

  They had been college students at that time, and dating was the last thing on her mind.

  ‘Do you mean that Tom Hadley still holds a grudge against me because of that?’   Seeing the dejected Clarine Landon on the ground, Tom Hadley’s heart leaped with joy.

 ‘Clarine, oh Clarine.

Weren’t you so haughty and arrogant at that time? You’re just from a second-tier family, so how dare you look down on me? Look, you’re still at my mercy now.

I’m going to blow this matter up! I’m going to let the whole of San Francisco know how much of a pervert Clarine Landon is!’    Emotions surged in his heart as he saw hope in taking revenge.

A sinister sneer appeared on his face as though he was cooking up a new ploy.

  Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.

  Finn Taylor squeezed his way through the crowd.

Upon seeing Clarine Landon on the ground and in tears, he knew that something was wrong.

“What’s the matter?”   The aggrieved Clarine Landon burst into tears and hugged Finn Taylor the moment she spotted him.

  The latter was bewildered.

 ‘What am I supposed to do? It doesn’t seem right to let her hug me so openly, yet it doesn’t seem right to push her away either.

That would only add to her misery.

’    Thankfully, Clarine Landon knew her place.

She let him go and wiped away her tears before telling Finn Taylor everything that had happened.

  When she finished, the latter nodded.

“Don’t worry; leave it to me.

.

It’s no big deal.
