Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone’s eyes shot toward Finn Taylor. They all wanted to know what he would choose to do.?‘Will he agree to let Alexander Scott make the decision, or will he refuse? If that happens, it’s unlikely for us to come to a decision by today.’

In the end, Finn Taylor finally nodded in agreement under everyone’s watchful gazes.

It overwhelmed Quince Larson and the rest that Finn Taylor had agreed to this.?‘That fool actually agreed to it! Has he never suspected why we would be willing to invite Alexander Scott? It’s obvious that we are already related and know that we would stand to gain from his appearance.’?

Very quickly, Alexander Scott arrived at the Larson family’s residence.

Quince Larson even went out to invite him in as a sign of respect. “Mr. Scott, I’m the Larson family head. Please don’t stand on ceremony. Please come on in.”

As Finn Taylor listened to Quince Larson, he couldn’t help but wonder if the other was stupid.?‘It’s one thing to say that to the Larson family, but how can he act high and mighty as the Larson family head in front of Alexander Scott? To put it bluntly, the Larson family is nothing when compared to Alexander Scott—Thunderbird, special envoy of Peregrine Hall.’

‘If not for me, the Larson family might never have gotten to know Alexander Scott at all! However, he was retarded enough to announce his identity to the other as though they are on the same level!’?

“Mr. Scott, I invited you here because I have a favor to ask of you. Our entire family previously went out on an outing at your park, and we won a prize. Do you think that the prize belongs to the whole family or just to one person?” As Quince Larson said so, Alexander Scott had already walked into the house.

Eleanor Larson quickly rushed up and pulled him over to her side. It was obvious that they were already close and knew each other.

Everyone knew the result in their hearts.?‘They’ve invited their own friend! It’s obvious how this will turn out.’?

“Oh, I see. Mr. Larson, how do you think it should be split then?”

“Mr. Larson? Oh, oh. That’s me.” Quince Larson was delighted that Alexander Scott had been so respectful toward him. He felt as though his status as the family head had been affirmed by Alexander Scott himself, and Alexander Scott was a prominent figure from Seattle!

‘Alexander Scott’s approval means approval from high society all over the country! In that case, I—Quince Larson—won’t just be well-known in San Francisco but the entire country as well!’?He was overwhelmed with emotions.

“Mr. Larson?” Alexander Scott couldn’t help but nudge Quince Larson when he saw the other giggling.

“Oh… Oh!” It was only then that Quince Larson realized how rude he had been.

“Mr. Scott, although it’s true that he won the prize, it’s only because we went on a family outing that he managed to win it. Besides, the money for the ticket came from the family, so it’s only natural that the prize should be split within the family.” Quince Larson thought he was being logical and rational.

He looked toward Alexander Scott, waiting for the latter to affirm his words.

However, the other merely shook his head. “No, an individual prize is an individual prize. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Since he filled in his own name when he won, all prizes belong to him alone.”

Quince Larson had been full of confidence. Never in a million years would he have expected Alexander Scott to give him such a reply.

Eleanor Larson—who was standing next to Alexander Scott—was equally taken aback. In fact, she felt much more dumbfounded than her cousin.?‘I’ve even given myself to Alexander Scott, yet he’s chosen not to speak up for me in such a situation! Alexander Scott wouldn’t even have needed to lift a finger to help me, and that was why I had been sure that the other would’ve been on my side. But what is going on?’

Finn Taylor glanced at Quince Larson. “Mr. Larson, where are the prizes? I’ll bring them home later.”

Quince Larson was devastated.?‘According to the bet we made earlier, these prizes do indeed belong to Finn Taylor’s family now. However, those prizes are worth too much to let go of.’

Yet, Quince Larson didn’t dare to act as a sore loser in front of Alexander Scott. He simply tested the waters once again. “Mr. Scott, why don’t you think again? Is there no other way to resolve this matter?”

Unlike her cousin, Eleanor Larson flew into a rage straight away.?‘I’ve already sacrificed so much—including my own body—but I haven’t gotten anything in return! Quince Larson has become the family head, while Yvette Larson got the prizes. Only I’m left with nothing—it’s such a joke.’

She naturally felt indignant. “What do you mean by this, Alexander Scott?”

Eleanor Larson leaped up and yelled at Alexander Scott by his full name, startling the entire Larson family.

Alexander Scott was a prominent figure—not someone the Larson family could look down on. It was clear that Eleanor Larson was dragging the entire family down with her actions.

All the Larson family members glared at Eleanor Larson with hatred in their eyes—including Quince Larson. He cared the most about his cousin’s relationship with Alexander Scott.

The way he saw it, Yvette Larson had been so successful lately all because of her good relationship with the Sullivan family. If he could use Eleanor Larson and get on good terms with the Scott family, he wouldn’t need to fear his eldest cousin.

But now, Eleanor Larson had ruined everything.

“Eleanor Larson, shut up! As the family head, I demand that you apologize to Mr. Scott.”

Eleanor Larson shot her cousin a deadly glance. “Bullsh*t! Family head? Do you think that everyone should be afraid of you just because you’re a temporary family head now? Do you think that we have to listen to you at all times? No wonder Grandpa has delayed handing over the position to you for so long. Quince Larson, you’re such a disgrace to the family! Who are you? How dare you question my authority? Have you made any contributions to the family? If you can say even one thing, I’ll kowtow to you today!”

Quince Larson was fuming.?‘How dare Eleanor Larson say that of me? I’m being humiliated and embarrassed. I’m the head of the Larson family, yet someone has denigrated me like this! I’m going to make Eleanor Larson kneel down and apologize to me!’

He racked his brains, thinking about the contributions he had made to the Larson family. However, he couldn’t even think of one after a long time.?‘Impossible! That is impossible! I’m the head of the Larson family, so how could I not have made any contributions at all?’

All of the Larson family members’ gazes were glued to Quince Larson as they waited for him to reply. Yet, they were met with disappointment.

Alexander Scott stood up and looked at Eleanor Larson. “How dare you talk to me like that, you b*tch!”
