Chapter 255: Respect Yourself, Willow Stone

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Kevin Jones from the Jones family had kneeled down! At that moment, whatever power the Jones family had held in San Francisco was no longer theirs.

This meant that the Gold family had complete rule over the city.

But just as everyone in San Francisco thought that way, an announcement came from the Gold family: The head of the Gold family—Third Master Gold—had gotten a stroke and had been hospitalized!

After emergency surgery, Third Master Gold was finally out of critical condition.

Because of this bout of illness, Third Master Gold decided to hand the position of family head over to his granddaughter—Kimberly Gold. She had also become the new chairman of the company.

This had a huge impact on the entire city.

The fall of the Jones family had left a huge piece of the pie. If Third Master Gold had been at the helm of the company, he definitely would’ve taken that share of the pie.

But now, the company was in Kimberly Gold’s hands! As such, reporters were sent to interview Kimberly Gold, yet her answer shocked them.

Because she was still young, she didn’t know much about running a company. This meant that all she wanted was stability and wasn’t looking to expand the company.

She even said that the Gold family wouldn’t try to acquire any of the Jones family’s assets.

That was like a bolt out of the blue to the entire business circle in San Francisco. Who would’ve thought that the Gold family would give up such a perfect opportunity?

When Finn Taylor learned of all this, he couldn’t help but smile.?‘Third Master Gold is such a sly old fox. He knows that I’m going to target the Gold family now, but Kimberly Gold has nothing to do with this. After all, I still owe Kimberly Gold a favor. That’s why he put Kimberly Gold in charge so that I wouldn’t do anything to the Gold family.’?

“Have you thought about taking the Jones family down?” Finn Taylor smiled while asking his wife.

“Of course. This is a good opportunity for the Larson family. If we let this go, we might never get the chance again.”

“Alright then. Don’t worry about not having enough employees—leave that to me. However, I have something I want you to promise me.”

Yvette Larson looked at the sly smile on her husband’s face, and she couldn’t help but feel slightly afraid. “What is it? Tell me.”

Finn Taylor pointed at their bed.

Upon seeing that, Yvette Larson’s face turned beet-red as she hit him.

“Hold on. What are you thinking? What I mean is that we need a wedding photo above our bed. When are you free to get our photos taken?”

Hearing his words, Yvette Larson—who had only been pretending to be angry—flared up for real.?‘Is Finn a pig? There are some things married couples have to do eventually. Aren’t men supposed to initiate it while women pretend to be shy for the men to coax them into it? Why does Finn keep shying away from that topic? Do I have to be the one to broach the topic?’

Yet, Yvette Larson couldn’t help but feel bad when it came to wedding photos. At that time, she had been completely unwilling to marry Finn Taylor.

Even though they had taken some photos at the request of her elders, there wasn’t a trace of joy in those photos.

Later on, when Finn Taylor had brought her to Number One Pacific Heights for the first time, she had requested for the photo to be taken down because she had looked awful in that photo.

She had never seen their wedding photo ever since.

That had always gnawed at her heart.

Now that Finn Taylor had brought it up, she naturally wouldn’t refuse.

“Alright. Where shall we go?”

“Cupid Island.”

“Cupid Island?” Yvette Larson glanced at her husband. She had a feeling that he had been planning this for a long time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to give her a location right off the bat. “Okay. When are we going?”

“In three days’ time. That should be enough for us to settle everything.”

“Alright.”

To be honest, they didn’t have much to settle. All Finn Taylor needed to do was get the four guardians to keep an eye on everything in the city.

However, Willow Stone unexpectedly asked Finn Taylor out for some coffee the next day. The latter had nearly been unable to recognize Willow Stone because she looked completely different now!

“What, are you shocked?”

“Slightly. I never expected you to have such a side.”

“What do you think? Do I look good today?”

Finn Taylor couldn’t deny that Willow Stone looked attractive.

She cupped her chin and stared at her friend’s boyfriend with glassy eyes.

“Yes, you look good,” Finn Taylor answered casually before she shot him with another question.

“Finn Taylor, who do you think looks better then? Me or Yvette Larson?”

Finn Taylor took a step back. “Please respect yourself, Ms. Stone.”

“Why are you so afraid? I’m not going to eat you up. I’m just asking a question.”

“Ms. Stone, I’m going to leave now if that’s what you’re going to do.” Finn Taylor’s sharp words were like daggers stabbing at her heart.

“You’re no fun. Do you really only have Yvette Larson in your heart? I don’t believe that you don’t have another woman in your heart.” Willow Stone picked up her bag and stood up as though she was going to leave.

“Ms. Stone, I don’t know why you’re acting in this way today. If you’re just trying to test my loyalty to your best friend, there’s no need for that. I’ve gone through thick and thin with Yvette in the past three years, and our relationship is as strong as steel. It’s not something other women will understand. If you’re trying to fool around, I’d advise you to please respect yourself.”

Willow Stone had the urge to punch him when he reminded her yet again to respect herself.?‘Who are the ‘other women’ he’s talking about? He’s clearly trying to scold me!’

When Finn Taylor arrived home, his wife informed him that she wanted to meet her best friends since she would be leaving for quite some time.

Finn Taylor nodded in agreement. He hated the thought of seeing Willow Stone.?‘That woman is too mysterious. Why did she come to look for me today? I don’t believe that she really likes me, but she could just ask me if she needed help given her relationship with Yvette. I probably wouldn’t refuse unless I’m too busy. What secrets is she hiding?’

Unable to put his mind at rest, Finn Taylor headed for Hunter Sullivan’s house. He wanted the latter to conduct investigations again—this time, more meticulously.

He wanted Hunter Sullivan to visit Willow Stone’s hometown personally.. Only then did Finn Taylor feel more assured.
