Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Finn Taylor glanced at Tom Hadley before saying, “You’re Tom Hadley, right? Are you the manager here? The mall should have CCTVs around, so we’ll know if she’s telling the truth once we check them.”
Tom Hadley’s lips curled up menacingly. “You piece of trash! Did you think I wouldn’t recognize you? You’re just the useless matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family. Hey, Clarine Landon is your wife’s best friend, isn’t she? Are you cheating on your wife with her?”
His words were downright shameless and accusatory.
Initially, this hadn’t been a big deal. After all, two guests had simply gotten into a small quarrel.
As the mall manager, Tom Hadly could’ve simply cleared Clarine Landon’s name by checking the surveillance footage. Then, everything would be easy to resolve.
Yet, he was trying to take his personal revenge using his status and was even dragging Yvette Larson into the matter.
Finn Taylor naturally wasn’t going to let him off just like that. “Gregory Mall—this mall should belong to Gregory Jensen, right?”
Finn Taylor picked up his phone and talked to the other. “Tom Hadley, I’ll get your boss here to resolve the matter for me since you can’t resolve it.”
Tom Hadley nearly burst into laughter as he caught sight of the other’s expression. He was sure that Finn Taylor was simply putting on an act.?‘Who in San Francisco doesn’t know who Finn Taylor is? He’s just a matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family. He has endured humiliation at the family’s hands for three whole years and has never fought back nor rebuked them. Yet, he’s acting as though he’s a big shot here. You know Gregory Jensen? If you know him, I even know Master Peregrine of Peregrine Hall!’
“Wow, Clarine. You’re really funny. Of all people, you asked him for help? Aren’t you clear about who he is? Do you really think that he’d know our boss—Gregory Jensen?”
As Tom Hadley spat those words out, Clarine Landon felt a little uneasy. She knew that her best friend’s husband was slightly unordinary and was capable, but she didn’t know if he knew Gregory Jensen.
When the bystanders learned of Finn Taylor’s true identity, they couldn’t help but chortle.?‘Yes, he’s just a matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family. If he’s really that capable, he wouldn’t have been bullied by the Larson family for three whole years.’
The Jensen family was by no means smaller than the Larson family.
Just then, someone rushed into the mall in a frenzy.
The security officers cleared a path through the crowd for that man to walk up to Finn Taylor. Of course, this person was none other than Gregory Jensen.
“Mr. Taylor, why didn’t you let me know that you were gracing us with your presence? I sincerely apologize.” Gregory Jensen had just been fooling around with his friends and some barmaids. It was then that Hunter Sullivan had made a call to him.
The former informed him that they had provoked someone they never should’ve trifled with. He even said that the Jensen family would go bankrupt if they didn’t handle this matter well.
Just as Gregory Jensen’s heart leaped and he thought that something was amiss, Logan Yeats, Alexander Scott, and Zachary Kennedy all made calls to him as well!
‘F*ck! Within a minute, I’ve offended prominent figures of New York, Chicago, Seattle, and Washington!’?His heart pounded against his chest. Not daring to delay even by a minute, he rushed over.
He knew that he was in deep trouble. The survival of his family hinged on this critical moment.
“Why are you here, Mr. Jensen?” The moment Tom Hadley spotted Gregory Jensen, he felt his heart leap out of his chest.?‘Does Finn Taylor really know Gregory Jensen? But that doesn’t seem right. It must be a coincidence.’?
As such, he tried to suck up to his boss.
“Yes. Tom, you’re here too. What happened?” The moment Gregory Jensen arrived, he had spotted this huge crowd around. He knew that Hunter Sullivan had to be talking about this, but he didn’t know what had actually gone on.
“It isn’t a big deal, Mr. Jensen. This lady barged into the male washroom, making this gentleman feel very uncomfortable. They tried to reason it out with each other, but this lady refused to apologize to him.”
Gregory Jensen eyed that plump man.?‘Could Hunter Sullivan be talking about this man?’
“Why couldn’t you handle such a trivial matter well?” Gregory Jensen pretended to be angry as he lectured his subordinate. He then walked up to that plump man. “Hello, sir. I’m so sorry. We’re at fault for not managing our mall well, so please forgive us.”
Before this, even that plump man had thought that Gregory Jensen was only here because of Finn Taylor. After all, it was too much of a coincidence that he had suddenly turned up.
But the moment he heard Gregory Jensen’s words, he came to a sudden understanding—it was purely a coincidence that Gregory Jensen was here. He had nothing to do with Finn Taylor.
The plump man nodded. “I can do that, but you have to pay for whatever I buy today.”
Gregory Jensen naturally accepted that proposition, although he murmured inwardly.?‘Someone who can make Hunter Sullivan and the other three call me has to have quite a prominent background. Yet, he’s making such a low-level request.’
However, Gregory Jensen definitely wasn’t going to refuse the plump man now that he had already asked for it.
“Finn Taylor, didn’t you say you knew Mr. Jensen? Look, you’re being humiliated now!”
Hearing Tom Hadley’s words, the crowd couldn’t help but burst out into laughter.
Just moments earlier, Finn Taylor had been putting on an act as though he was a big shot, even saying that he could call Gregory Jensen over. But as it turned out, the latter didn’t even know him and had even asked him to apologize to that plump man.
Wasn’t that embarrassing?
In Gregory Jensen’s heart, that plump man wasn’t one to be trifled with. Since Finn Taylor and that woman had fought with this plump man, they were his enemies.
“Ma’am, what were you trying to do by barging into the men’s washroom? I’ll make sure that I announce whatever you’ve done so that everyone sees it. I’ll also make sure that all malls ban people like you from entering.” Gregory Jensen then pointed at Finn Taylor. “And you, sir. It’s good to stand up for your friend, but you should persuade your friend to change her ways when she’s done something wrong. We don’t welcome people like you in our mall. Please scram!”
Gregory Jensen’s words were full of spite. He had even asked them to scram!
He had pinned the pair as criminals! Just then, four Rolls-Royce Phantoms rolled to a stop in front of the mall.
Four figures who commanded presence got out of the cars.
The security officers were so shell-shocked that they didn’t dare to stop any of them.
Even the crowd cleared a path for them.
The four figures walked up to Finn Taylor and bowed respectfully, “Greeting, Elder Young Master.”
