Chapter 191: Be the Chairman Then
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Finn Taylor rolled his eyes. ‘Did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Why is everyone going against me today? Why does everyone think so highly of themselves?’
Finn Taylor could hardly be bothered with that receptionist and headed upstairs.
Seeing that he was about to barge in, the receptionist quickly tried to prevent him from doing so. “Sir, why don’t you sign up for our membership card? We really can’t allow you upstairs without one.”
“You’d better get out of my way,” Finn Taylor said before walking up the stairs.
Because she was unable to stop Finn Taylor, the receptionist quickly called for security.
As soon as Finn Taylor walked up the stairs, he spotted his wife.
At the same time, four security officers rushed up as well. “You’re quite fast.. You can’t be up here if you don’t have a membership card.”
“It costs 500 dollars to sign up, but it must be too much for you. Why would you even come to a beauty salon if you’re so poor?” The security officers lashed out as they walked over, and hostility was evident in their eyes.
“What’s the matter?” Yvette Larson was confused. ‘All I had asked my husband to do was come over to pay for us. Why does it seem like he’s gotten into a fight?’
“Nothing much. Some people are just blind.”
Hearing that he was insulting them, the security officers immediately flared up. They charged at Finn Taylor with their batons.
The latter couldn’t help but feel speechless. ‘How dare you act up with your pathetic skills?’
With just one punch, all four security officers flew backward.
Crash!
The four security officers caused everything in the room to topple over and fall to the ground.
Because it had created such a din, the manager of the beauty salon quickly emerged.
Seeing the mess on the floor, the manager turned hostile. “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. James, he refused to sign up for a membership, barged in, and even started hitting us.”
After hearing the explanation from the security officers, that man glared coldly at Finn Taylor. “How interesting. Who dares to kick up such a fuss in the James family’s territory?”
‘The James family?’ Finn Taylor asked after hearing that. “Don’t tell me that Damien James is from your family.”
“Oh, so you know our family. Since that’s the case, you’d better kneel down at once and apologize!”
‘Bullsh*t!’ Finn Taylor was feeling annoyed exactly because of Damien James. Now, another person from the James family was trying to boss him around! ‘The James family really is too bold.’
Finn Taylor struck that manager down with a punch, making the latter’s face swell up at once. “F*ck, how dare you look down on others?!”
Finn Taylor’s actions scared everyone in the beauty salon stiff.
“You, how dare you hit Gordon James!? He’s the most powerful amongst the branch families of the James family! You’re done for!”
“That’s right! The James family is well-known and powerful in San Francisco. You’re playing with fire!”
‘Playing with fire?’ Finn Taylor sneered. ‘I have never even cared about the James family. They are nothing to me. Knocking the James family down is playing with fire? It won’t mean much to me even if I destroy the whole family!’
As Gordon James climbed up from the ground, he started calling out for someone. He wanted to call his uncle—the family head—over. ‘There is someone here who has absolutely no respect for our family.’
Of course, Finn Taylor had no intention of dealing with such trivial matters, so he made a call to Frank Lucas. “I’ll give you one last chance. I’m at the James family’s beauty salon. Deal with them for me, and I’ll give you a pass.”
Frank Lucas was initially on the brink of tears. He had been like a rabid dog and had finally been able to quash the Jensen family. He had gone all out to get on Finn Taylor’s good side, but Damien James had unexpectedly gotten in his way.
Damien James had ruined his bright future, yet Finn Taylor had given him a glimpse of hope when he was in great despair. As long as he destroyed the James family, his future would be unbridled.
Frank Lucas already hated that family to his core. Now that Finn Taylor had given his order, he naturally wasn’t going to let them off.
It wasn’t long before the James family head—Dylan James—arrived at the beauty salon. Looking at Gordon James—who was lying on the ground—he couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
Along the way here, he had also received news that his son had been beaten up. In fact, his son seemed to be severely injured.
Dylan James wondered why two members of his family had faced the same fate on the very same day!
“You’re the one who beat my nephew up!” Dylan James glared at Finn Taylor, his gaze filled with rage. ‘The latter has not only beaten Gordon up, but he has also disrespected our family openly.’
“I’m here, Mr. Taylor.” Just then, Frank Lucas entered. He immediately bowed respectfully toward Finn Taylor.
Then, he turned to Dylan James. “Dylan James, you don’t have to ask Mr. Taylor anything. I’ll answer for it.”
Dylan James didn’t recognize Finn Taylor, but he did recognize Frank Lucas. He remembered that Frank Lucas was on good terms with his other son—Damien James. “Frank, I remember that my son headed out to attend your party today. Now that he’s injured, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
Frank Lucas sneered. “Explanation? Sure, what do you want? Name your requests. I’ll make sure to destroy your entire family so that you’ll never have any descendants to continue your family line!”
‘Why is Frank suddenly spouting such nonsense?’ Dylan James was taken aback. “Frank Lucas, what’s wrong with you? Is this how you should speak to your elders?”
Gordon James—who was still on the ground—butt in. “Scram! You’re in no place to be speaking now!”
Frank Lucas viciously kicked him in the face. Then, he started his revenge against the James family.
As for Finn Taylor, he had already left a long time ago with his wife and her best friend.
“Why did you come out for a spa today?” Finn Taylor asked as he glanced at the beauty salon.
“You still have to cheek to ask about that? Did you know that Yvette resigned from her job because of how much Quince Larson bullied her?” Before Yvette Larson could say anything, Clarine Landon spoke up, lashing out at Finn Taylor right away.
Although he was rendered speechless, Clarine Landon’s words served as a reminder to him. ‘She’s right. Yvette isn’t a pampered princess—she’s a career woman. She must be out of place without a job.’
As such, Finn Taylor decided to acquire the Larson Corporation and make his wife the company’s chairman. However, he couldn’t afford to let her know of his plans as of yet.
He had to settle everything before that.
…
The next day, Yvette Larson and her family started packing their things.
Her grandma’s birthday was coming up, and the whole family would be heading for San Diego for her birthday celebrations.
Finn Taylor had already told his wife that he’d be busy and that he’d only join them two days later.
Yvette Larson didn’t think much of that. After all, she knew that he had many things to deal with, given his status. But never in a million years would she have guessed that he was working to acquire the Larson Corporation.
