The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Chapter 270: Carry Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zachary Kennedy was the first to investigate Willow Stone, and he realized that he didn’t have much on hand.

That stumped all four guardians. Willow Stone had to have an impressive background if even Zachary Kennedy couldn’t check on her.

In the end, the four guardians joined forces to conduct a second round of investigation. Yet, they didn’t get much more information.

Finn Taylor had gotten into trouble right at that moment, and the four guardians had put that matter aside to head for Cupid Island. But now that they were back, Logan Yeats brought the matter up once again.

“Do you think that her family could be overseas since we couldn’t even find anything about her? I remember Master Peregrine saying that she’s been living abroad,” Hunter Sullivan suggested.

That piqued everyone’s interest.

It wasn’t difficult for them to investigate families within the country. After all, every family was fighting to join Peregrine Hall to improve their prospects. This meant that it was highly probable that the other’s family wasn’t even in the country!

…

St. Cloud Hospital.

Finn Taylor was lying on the bed. “Dear, I think I can be discharged. Look, I’m not bleeding anymore. Oh right, aren’t you going to take a look at how things are going in the office?”

Finn Taylor was bored to death in the hospital. There had been no need for him to even be hospitalized—he was only here because his wife had been too worried.

But now that he’d recovered, he wanted to be discharged as soon as possible. Unfortunately, his wife didn’t agree to it.

“No, absolutely not. Don’t you know your condition the best?” Yvette Larson vehemently denied her husband’s request. She could clearly see his injury, and the scar frightened her.?‘How can he possibly say that he’s fine? There’s no way he’s fine!’?

The company didn’t mean much to her now.

“I’m serious. You should go take a look in the office—you’ll be shocked for sure.”

“What’s there to see?”

Finn Taylor wasn’t lying. Yvette Larson would definitely be stunned if she were to return to the office now.

The talents of the companies belonging to New York’s Sullivan family, Chicago’s Yeats family, Seattle’s Scott family, and Washington’s Kennedy family had resigned from their jobs and joined the Larson Corporation the very next day. This meant that the Larson Corporation had suddenly been revived.

With their help, the companies of those who had offended Finn Taylor in the past went bankrupt within the short span of a week. Now, the Larson Corporation was the second-largest company in all of San Francisco.

Wouldn’t Yvette Larson be shocked to learn of that?

“No, I’m serious. There’s no need for you to return. Since we’re not doing anything, why don’t you make a call to the office?” Finn Taylor had set this up.

Yvette Larson knew that her husband’s injuries weren’t very serious either. She was only anxious because she felt apologetic toward him.

As such, he had to turn her attention away from him.

Right after Finn Taylor said so, Yvette Larson made a call to her secretary.

“Ms. Larson, are you back from Cupid Island? I’m telling you that our company has undergone a major change! Hurry back and have a look!”

“What’s wrong?” Yvette Larson was confused, and her mind was bursting with questions.?‘What’s happened to the company?’

“Ms. Larson, those companies that previously put us on the spot have gone bankrupt. In fact, we even managed to acquire them!”

“Bankrupt? Acquired? What’s going on?” Yvette Larson was befuddled.?‘Those companies had been fine just before my trip. In fact, it was my own company that seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. Why have the tides suddenly turned?’

“Ms. Larson, the very next day after you left San Francisco, a whole bunch of talents joined our company. They were the ones who managed to bring our company to where we are—the second-largest company in San Francisco!”

“Second largest? How can that be?”

“It’s true—we’re the second largest. After those companies crumbled, other companies tried to look to the Gold family for help, but they refused. In the end, they came knocking on our doors. That’s how we managed to acquire all of them.”

Yvette Larson’s call went on for half an hour. With every sentence that the secretary said, Yvette Larson got more shocked.

Finally, she hung up and turned to her husband. “Can you really be discharged?”

Finn Taylor couldn’t help but smirk inwardly.?‘She obviously wants to go back to take a look at the company but feels embarrassed because of what she said earlier. That’s why she’s asking me that question now.’

“Oh no, my leg suddenly hurts. I don’t think I can be discharged now.”

“Ha, stop acting. Hurry up and leave with me.”

Finn Taylor giggled. “Alright, but you have to carry me out.”

Yvette Larson’s whole face flushed beet red the moment she heard her husband’s words.?‘Carry him? We haven’t even been that intimate before, but it looks like I have no other choice.’

This was what led to that miraculous sight at St. Cloud Hospital—the petite Yvette Larson staggered out of the hospital with Finn Taylor on her back.

But once they walked out of the hospital, Finn Taylor quickly got off her back. “Are you tired?”

“No.” Yvette Larson blushed even more as she replied to him. “Why did you insist on me carrying you out?”

“Don’t you owe it to me?”

“I owe it to you? Why?” Yvette Larson was stumped, not understanding what her husband was getting at.

“Don’t grooms usually carry brides on their backs during their weddings? I’m a matrilocal son-in-law, so it’s only right that you carry me.”

“F*ck!”

Still squabbling, the couple arrived at the Larson Corporation. Along the way, Yvette Larson had asked her husband if he had anything to do with the new employees.

Finn Taylor didn’t try to hide it and simply admitted that he had found them.

Of course, Yvette Larson didn’t pursue the matter but made a mental note to herself.

After arriving at the office, Yvette Larson was overwhelmed by dozens of different reports. After all, the Larson Corporation had expanded almost a hundred-fold, and every department needed to report the changes to her.

She couldn’t help but feel a throbbing pain in her head. It was then that she realized that it wasn’t all that glamorous to run a large corporation.

She felt utterly miserable.
