Quince Larson was stunned by his cousin’s suggestion.?‘What does she mean? Asking the Larson family members to come over and extort money from Alexander Scott?’
“Eleanor, do you know what you’re saying? Won’t you be too ashamed to live from then on?”
Eleanor Larson smiled bitterly. “Do you think that I can still stay in the Larson family after this? I just want some money before leaving.”
Hearing his cousin’s words, Quince Larson couldn’t help but feel upset. After all, she was the closest kin he had in the entire family.
No matter what they did in the past, they would always face it head-on together. Never would he have expected that they would land in such a state today.
Quince Larson thought that he had won the moment he was given the position of family head. From then on, nobody could stand in his way in the Larson family.
.
It hadn’t been long since then, yet it was all over for them.
“Listen to me—I’ll help you organize it. Tell them that I’ll only take half of the money from Alexander Scott and that they can split the other half.”
Although Quince Larson’s heart broke, he complied nonetheless. After all, he wanted a share of the loot too.?‘Hasn’t Eleanor Larson already said so? She’ll only take half of the money, and the other half will be left to the rest of the Larson family. As the Larson family head, it’s only natural for me to have a larger share.’
Although it seemed as though he was drinking his cousin’s blood, Quince Larson didn’t feel bad for doing so.?‘She took the initiative to make that offer. I didn’t force her to do so. Besides, Eleanor got pregnant before marriage. To a certain extent, she has ruined the family’s name. It’s embarrassing for him as the family head and even more humiliating for Eleanor herself. I’m already respecting her by taking the largest share of the money.’
In the name of the family head, Quince Larson gathered the entire family apart from Yvette Larson’s family. He then announced what had happened to Eleanor Larson to them.
Initially, everyone had been infuriated and started criticizing Eleanor Larson. But when they heard that she was willing to split the money with them, they quickly shut up.
Now, they made Eleanor Larson out to be nothing more than an innocent girl. Naturally, they couldn’t stand by and watch as relatives.
Quince Larson paid no heed to how fake these relatives of his were.?‘What age are we living in? It’s disgusting to think that we’re still talking about familial ties. To be honest, we’re just strangers who are bound by blood ties. We’re all just making use of each other.’
This was what Quince Larson thought. If possible, he’d even make use of everyone present to his own benefit!
St. Cloud Hospital.
Eleanor Larson dialed Alexander Scott’s number.
At that moment, he was with Finn Taylor and the rest of the men. When he picked up the call, he put it on speaker.
“Come to the Larson family’s residence tomorrow.”
“Why?”
“I’ll get an abortion, but 150,000 dollars is too little. Let’s discuss the price.”
“Alright.” With that, they ended the call.
Alexander Scott glanced at Finn Taylor, not understanding what Eleanor Larson was up to.
But Finn Taylor smiled. “Smart aleck.”
“What do you mean, Master Peregrine?” Alexander Scott was still confused about what Eleanor Larson was up to.?‘She had just refused my offer the previous day and had even threatened me with death. Why is she suddenly changing her tone now?’
“Don’t you understand? Isn’t it very normal? Would she dare to give birth to that child? Don’t you think she’s clear about whose child that is? I’m sure she doesn’t dare to give birth to that child because you’d definitely insist on getting a paternity test done once the child is born before you pay alimony. Then, everything will be exposed. Now, she’s trying to get as much as she can before aborting the baby.”
Finn Taylor laid it bare for Alexander Scott, and the latter finally understood what was going on. “What shall we do then, Master Peregrine?”
“Be a good father. Don’t they want to put on an act? We’ll play along till the end.”
Although Alexander Scott didn’t know what Finn Taylor was trying to do, he wasn’t going to go against Master Peregrine’s orders.
Upon reaching home, Finn Taylor immediately looked for his wife. “I’ll tell you something. I know who the father of Eleanor Larson’s child is.”
“Who?” Over the past few days, Yvette Larson had become rather interested in her cousin’s pregnancy as well. She wanted to know whose child it was.
“Alexander Scott.”
While she had already guessed so, Yvette Larson was still shocked after hearing the truth.
“What are you going to do now?” Yvette Larson knew Alexander Scott was very likely her husband’s subordinate. As such, she wanted to know just what he would do.
“It’s simple. Eleanor Larson will give birth to the child, and Alexander Scott will raise the child.”
“Huh?” Finn Taylor’s answer stunned his wife.
“Men should take responsibility for their actions. Oh right, there’s something else. Eleanor Larson and Alexander Scott will be discussing the alimony at the Larson family’s residence tomorrow. We should head over and speak up for Eleanor Larson. We can’t let that b*stard get away with this.”
Yvette Larson couldn’t help but feel that something was different about her husband today. She felt that he was keeping something from her.
…
The next day arrived.
When Quince Larson saw Finn Taylor and his wife at the Larson family’s residence, he rolled his eyes. “Why are you here?”
Quince Larson had invited the entire Larson family, save for Yvette Larson’s family. However, their family had still turned up in the end.
“Why not? We miss Grandpa, so can’t we come to take a look around the Larson family’s residence? Is something happening here today?”
Of course, Quince Larson wasn’t going to believe Finn Taylor.?‘The latter must’ve received some news and is here only to stir up trouble.’
But this was the Larson family’s residence after all. He wasn’t in any place to chase them away.
Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson ignored Quince Larson and simply walked in.
The moment they walked in, the couple spotted Eleanor Larson.
The latter was annoyed that the couple had come, but just like Quince Larson, she had no other choice. All she could say was that she had chosen the wrong location.
“Why is everyone here today? Are we holding a family meeting today?”
Eleanor Larson sneered and looked at Finn Taylor. “Stop acting, Finn Taylor. Do you really not know what’s going on today? Aren’t you here because of that too?”
Finn Taylor chuckled and looked at her. “Should I congratulate you then?”
