“Kevin Jones, don’t be such a fool. I’ll give you three days to consider this. If you appear at the peak of Pacific Heights to kneel for forgiveness in three days’ time, I’ll treat it as though nothing has happened. I promise to send your son back safely then. But if you dare to do anything funny and think that you’re able to defeat Finn Taylor, you can wait to retrieve your son’s corpse.”
With that said, Andre Cavill left.
The same thing happened not only at the Jones’s residence. Andre Cavill visited each and every family that had threatened Yvette Larson at the funeral, taking their eldest sons with him.
In an instant, the top families of San Francisco descended into chaos.
They had been invited to Pacific Heights on the very same day, and they gathered to discuss what they should do.
Of course, all eyes naturally fell on Kevin Jones. After all, he was the one who started it all.
He had better think of a solution now that their sons had been kidnapped. Yet, Kevin Jones remained silent from the very beginning because he was unlike the others who had a few sons. Even if their captured eldest sons were killed, they had other sons to inherit their family businesses.
However, Kevin Jones had only one son. If his son were to die, that would be the end of the Jones family.
As such, the meeting ended with no resolution.
…
Three days was neither long nor short.
Very quickly, it was the day of Kevin Jones and Yvette Larson’s meeting on Pacific Heights.
The peak of Pacific Heights wasn’t open to just anyone. Thankfully, someone had already set up a drone that was aimed at the peak of Pacific Heights. In fact, this video was even being broadcast.
Thousands of people in San Francisco were watching this scene in the comforts of their own homes.
Of course, that wasn’t all—it was only fun when they could discuss this with others. This meant that bars, karaoke lounges, internet cafes, and other places were packed to the brim.
Everyone was waiting to see what would happen.
Number One Pacific Heights.
Finn Taylor and his wife stood on the balcony, stunned as they gazed at the drones above the peak of Pacific Heights.
It was indeed true that there were people who wished to see the world in chaos.
“Are you confident?”
Finn Taylor had practically spent the past three days away from home.
Yvette Larson knew that he had been running around because of this matter. Still, she wasn’t sure about how confident her husband was.
“Come on. Get dressed in your best clothes. We’re going to the peak.”
Finally, Yvette Larson felt a huge weight lift off her chest when she heard her spouse’s words. She then put on an elegant red dress.
…
At the same time, many had already gathered around the peak of Pacific Heights.
Some were the owners of the other villas on Pacific Heights and had the right to be there. Others were visitors who had managed to purchase tickets to the peak.
Amongst them were Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson. They hated Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson to their guts, so they naturally weren’t going to miss out on this opportunity to see the couple humiliated.
Clarine Landon had been dragged to the peak by Willow Stone.
The former hadn’t wanted to show up because she thought that her best friend would be humiliated. She didn’t want to have to witness that, yet she realized that there was no way of blocking it out now that it was being broadcast everywhere.
This was why she had accepted Willow Stone’s invitation. She was going to give Yvette Larson a huge hug at her lowest moment and remind her that she still had her best friend even if the whole world went against her.
Compared to Clarine Landon, Willow Stone had much more up her sleeve.
On the one hand, she didn’t want her best friend—Yvette Larson—to be embarrassed. On the other hand, she hoped that this would tear the couple apart. If that was the case, it would be an opportunity for her.
Only she understood the grave danger the Stone family was in. If she didn’t find someone who could save the family in time, the family might very well crumble this time.
Through her interactions with Finn Taylor, Willow Stone was almost certain that he was the one she was looking for.
The peak of Pacific Heights was surrounded by throngs of people, yet there was a huge empty space in the center where nobody dared to step foot into.
They all knew that this would be the center of attention today, and it belonged to Finn Taylor.
Everyone had traveled a long way just to see him kneel.
They had all been waiting for a long while, yet the main character of the event had yet to arrive.
Those in the crowd couldn’t help but worry.
Someone asked, “Why isn’t Finn Taylor here yet?”
Everyone was confused. “That’s right. Does anyone know when he’s coming?”
Eleanor Larson eyed her cousin. “Don’t tell me that they’re not coming.”
“Is there a point in trying to avoid this? All they have to do is kneel if they show up. Not coming would make them cowards! Do they really think that Kevin Jones will let them off if they don’t come?”
Eleanor Larson gave it some thought.?‘My cousin is right—avoidance is futile. If Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson think that they can resolve this matter by avoiding it, they would be fools!’
“They’re here!” Someone let out an excited yelp, and everyone present turned to the entrance of the peak.
Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson had indeed arrived.
The man was dressed in a smart white suit, while the other was dressed in a vintage red dress. They seemed to be a perfect couple.
“This…” Eleanor Larson nearly exploded at that sight.?‘I’m here to see my cousin get humiliated and kneel on the ground, not to see her this glorious. What I want to see the most is Yvette Larson kneeling on the ground like a dog.’
“Don’t worry. She can have her moment now, but she’ll kneel sooner or later.” Compared to Eleanor Larson, Quince Larson was much more patient.
“That’s true. We’ll let her show off for now. Anyway, they’ll still have to kneel down to Kevin Jones later on.”
‘Kevin Jones! He’s the most powerful man in San Francisco apart from Third Master Gold. Finn Taylor must be daydreaming if he thinks that he can defeat Kevin Jones!’
“Wow! Yvette is so beautiful! She looks good next to Finn Taylor. Don’t you think so, Willow? I’m so jealous!” Clarine Landon was obviously moved, and she made a fuss while grabbing her friend’s arm.
No matter what happened to Yvette Larson later on, she was the most stunning woman at this point in time.
But Willow Stone merely pursed her lips without speaking, obviously enraged.?‘Why? Why is Yvette Larson the one in Finn Taylor’s arms and not me?’
