Chapter 408: Stalking
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yvette Larson had intended on following her husband for his training, but it no longer seemed feasible. His training sounded alright for a man, but she knew that she wasn’t cut out for something like this.
Finn Taylor arrived in the woods in San Francisco’s suburbs with his wife.
Looking around her, Yvette Larson blushed.
“Don’t overthink it. I’m here for my training.”
Yvette Larson knew that her blushing face had exposed her, but that didn’t matter. They were a married couple. Even if they didn’t do that now, they were bound to do so eventually.
“Oh, you guys are here too.” As the couple walked further into the woods, they spotted several familiar faces—Hilary Stone and Quinn Larson.
Finn Taylor didn’t hate the mother-son duo as much as Quince Larson, but they didn’t share a close relationship either. They were simply working together for their own self-interests.
“Finn Taylor, I heard that you got a divorce from Yvette. Is that true? Doesn’t everyone in the city know that you two are on good terms with each other? Why would you suddenly get divorced?” Hilary Stone suddenly asked.
“I’m not telling you anything.” Master Peregrine had no intention of continuing the conversation, and he picked up his wife’s hand and walked further into the woods.
“Don’t leave; wait for us. We’re family, so why are you so afraid of us that we can’t go together? We’re not going to eat you up.”
That was true, but Hilary Stone was brutal.
Finn Taylor wanted nothing to do with her. ‘It’s your fault that the Larson family is in this state now, Hilary Stone. You married the fourth son of the family but had affairs with the second son and third son. You even ganged up with their families to go against our family! That’s why the family is in such a mess!’
Besides, Master Peregrine still had an unanswered question: How her husband died. It seemed that the family had a violent objection to the mention of his name, as though it was taboo.
More importantly, he had never seen a single member of the Larson family commemorate his death anniversary.
So why was his death such a taboo? There was definitely something fishy about it.
The worst-case scenario—which was also Finn Taylor’s first thought—was that the second son and third son of the Larson family had ganged up with Hilary Stone to kill their younger brother because the latter had found out about their affairs.
If this was to be exposed, the Larson family would be done for since they would be implicated in a murder.
“I don’t think we know each other very well. We might be relatives, but we’re not that close. There’s no need to bring you two along, right?” Finn Taylor straightforwardly rejected Hilary Stone. It was not only troublesome but also dangerous to bring them along.
Although Yvette Larson seemed like a strong and independent woman, she was too kind and forgiving. On the other hand, Hilary Stone seemed to be a meek and gentle woman, but everyone who knew her understood that she was like a deadly viper. Anyone she targeted would have no chance of surviving.
“Listen to what you’re saying. We’re still relatives. It’s normal for families to get into tussles sometimes, but we shouldn’t hold it against each other.”
Of course, Finn Taylor wasn’t going to be taken in by her words. “We’re leaving. Don’t you dare follow us; otherwise, I’ll punch you.”
“Tsk, tsk. Let’s see what you can do to me. Are you going to beat me to death?”
Finn Taylor led the way, and Hilary Stone followed behind as though she was stuck to him. It didn’t matter what he said.
“We’re going on a trip. We’re not planning to do anything.” Finn Taylor had no choice but to let the older woman follow him. He would’ve run away if he was alone. Given his speed, there was no way the latter would be able to catch up to him. However, he didn’t have a choice since his wife was around. ‘Alright then. I’ll have no choice but to change my training session into a trip.’
His wife understood why he had chosen to do so too—he couldn’t get away from the other pair.
“Why are you guys following us? Are you up to something?”
It was true that Finn Taylor didn’t know the mother-son duo well, so he felt uncomfortable that they were following him around.
“Of course not. It’s not like you own this place. You’re free to visit this place, so why can’t I come too?”
Finn Taylor was baffled. ‘You can go anywhere you want to, but why do you have to follow me? What are you really up to?’
“Ignore them. Let’s go,” Finn Taylor suggested since Hilary Stone had ruined his mood, and he no longer had any intention of staying.
Yvette Larson was never one to go against her husband, so she naturally agreed.
“You’re leaving so quickly? Aren’t you going to admire the beautiful scenery for a while longer?”
‘How annoying!’ Finn Taylor had to resist the urge to punch the woman. ‘How can people be so annoying? I wanted to bring Yvette around, but she’s standing in my way. Forget about how she was vicious enough to land the Larson family in trouble, but does she want to break my family up too?’
“Scram!” Finn Taylor replied with only one word before picking up his wife’s hand and leaving.
Thankfully, the other woman didn’t follow them.
Yet, that made him even more curious about what she was up to. ‘She even brought her son with her! I’m sure they have something up their sleeves.’
However, Finn Taylor wasn’t too bothered by Hilary Stone and didn’t think too much about it.
