The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Chapter 368: Collaboration

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In reality, Josie Meyer hated the idea of leaving with Finn Taylor, yet there was nothing she could do.

This was Kyle Kennedy’s turf. If she stayed here alone without Finn Taylor, she would probably die a horrible death.

Finn Taylor didn’t try to stop her. After all, he couldn’t possibly leave her there. If he did so, it would be hard for him to give an answer to Michelle Yeller.

Finn Taylor instructed his men to leave, and he was the only one left there.

He had gone there to save Michelle Yeller, but now that he knew about Melanie Taylor’s plan to acquire the neighborhood, he had to stay to plan his moves.

Hunter Sullivan glanced at Logan Yeats and handed the car keys to the latter. “You guys can leave. I’ll stay.”

The latter knew that his friend was worried for their boss’s safety and didn’t object to it.

Finn Taylor was indifferent when he heard that, and he turned to the other man. “Howard Dahl, let’s have a chat.”

The latter was still trembling in fear, but he naturally didn’t dare to reject Master Peregrine. Thus, he could only nod in agreement.

The trio quickly arrived at a cafe.

Finn Taylor glanced around. He had frequented the place in the past, but he hadn’t been back ever since he moved out of the neighborhood.

“Howard Dahl, your subordinate kidnapped my friend. Do you still want to live?”

Howard Dahl burst out into tears. “Mr. Taylor, this has nothing to do with me. You know that I’m loyal to you. I would never dare to kidnap your friend!”

“Oh, you’re loyal to me? Why don’t I know that? If you’re loyal to me, why are you helping Melanie Taylor to demolish my house?”

Howard Dahl had already expected his boss to bring the matter up. “Master Peregrine, this is really a misunderstanding. Didn’t you move out? I thought that you sold your house? Melanie Taylor approached me, and you know that I’m nobody too. I’m no match for her. I have to survive too, so I had no other choice.”

While saying so, he stole a glance at Finn Taylor. However, the latter was unmoved and didn’t even try to cut in.

Only after Howard Dahl finished his monologue did he finally speak. “Do you think that I’ll believe whatever you say?”

Howard Dahl had already been feeling guilty, and he realized that it was no use no matter how nicely he framed it. His words would only trick three-year-olds, but it was Master Peregrine sitting in front of him.

Thud!?

Howard Dahl fell on his knees yet again. “Master Peregrine, I was wrong. Please punish me. I’ll gladly take any punishment you give me.”

Finn Taylor chuckled. He was no fool, and neither was Howard Dahl.

If he wanted to kill the latter, he would already be dead by now. It was obvious that he had a plan for the latter, and that was why they were having a chat now.

This was also why Howard Dahl had gone down on his knees. He knew that Master Peregrine wouldn’t kill him as long as he humbled himself and gave the latter all due respect.

He understood what Finn Taylor was thinking, and the converse was true.

“Tell me: How much did Melanie Taylor give you?”

“15 million dollars.” Howard Dahl had no intention of hiding anything from the other.

“That’s quite a huge sum of money. I’ll give you this card—buy out the entire neighborhood. You don’t have to worry about how much it costs as long as you manage to do it.”

Howard Dahl was stunned.?‘Not only did the other not pursue the matter, but he is even giving me a bank card!’?

He had never expected Finn Taylor to trust him that much.

“Master Peregrine, aren’t you afraid that I’ll run off with your money?”

The man chuckled. “At the very most, I’ll have another name on the Master Peregrine Order.”

Those three words terrified Howard Dahl. He might not be afraid of anything else, but the Master Peregrine Order was different.

There were men who belonged to Peregrine Hall all over the country. As long as his name was on the Master Peregrine Order, he’d be a wanted man.

Then, he would really be done for.

…

In the hotel, Melanie Taylor threw her bag onto the bed.

She glanced at her brother. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to chase Yvette Larson? How’s your progress?”

The latter shook his head. “I haven’t started. I was about to start when you asked me to go to New York.”

“Oh right.”

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Levi Taylor headed to the door, only to find his subordinate standing there. “Is something wrong?”

“Linda James is here.”

Melanie Taylor was confused. “Linda James?”

Very obviously, Melanie Taylor didn’t recognize that name.

“She’s Yvette Larson’s mother.”

“Hey, isn’t she Timothy Taylor’s mother-in-law—no, ex-mother-in-law—then? How interesting. Why is she here? Bring her to the restaurant.”

The other man nodded and set out to work.

“Come on. Let’s go and have a look. Don’t you want to woo Yvette Larson? She might be your future mother-in-law then.”

“Sis, don’t joke around. Mother-in-law? I’m just fooling around with her. Do you think I’ll really treat her like a treasure?”

Melanie Taylor knew that her brother would never fall for Yvette Larson, and she was only teasing her brother.

By the time the siblings arrived at the restaurant, Linda James had already been waiting for a long time.

Melanie Taylor had done this on purpose to exert her dominance.

Although they had met before, they didn’t know each other.

After the pair took their seats, Linda James introduced herself. “Let me introduce myself—my name is Linda James. I’m Finn Taylor’s ex-mother-in-law. My daughter has already gotten a divorce from him, so we have nothing to do with him now.”

Melanie Taylor sneered inwardly. “Are you emphasizing that fact because you’re afraid that you’ll be implicated?”

The older woman shook her head. “No, of course not. I can tell that you’re such a kind and magnanimous person, Ms. Taylor. I’m sure that you won’t come after us since we have nothing to do with Finn Taylor now.”

Melanie Taylor waved her off. “I have no time to listen to your nonsense. The Larson family is too insignificant. It isn’t just you—I can’t even be bothered with your husband or daughter. Why don’t you cut to the chase and tell me why you’re here today?”

Linda James immediately got up from her seat and bowed apologetically. “Actually, I’d like to collaborate with you.”

“Collaborate with me?”

“Yes, a collaboration. I know that you’re trying to deal with Finn Taylor. I’m sure you don’t know about his plans, but I can get my daughter to act as your spy.. Of course, you’ll have to pay me for it.”
