Chapter 140: The Truth

Although Yvette Larson was slightly reluctant, the bowl of pasta her husband had cooked smelled too fragrant.
As such, she decided to continue their conversation only after eating.
Finn Taylor couldn’t help but find his wife adorable while she ate that bowl of pasta.
He realized that he had been too silly.?‘Why am I even fighting with her? It’s not like she really wants to be unreasonable. She just wants to be loved. If I listened to Diane Taylor, we might’ve made up a long time ago.’
However, their relationship had indeed improved because of this bowl of pasta.
Finn Taylor didn’t mention the Gold family to his spouse again.
Yvette Larson had already talked about it; he would simply have to get it done.
At the Larson family’s ancestral shrine.
Joseph Larson paid his respects to his ancestors, while Quince Larson kneeled down before them.
“Do you know your mistake now?” Joseph Larson questioned his grandson.
“Grandpa, I didn’t do anything wrong. Finn Taylor was the one who set me up.” Even up until now, Quince Larson still didn’t think he had done anything wrong.
It was exactly this personality of his that Joseph Larson hated.
A man who was primed for success could argue about his innocence in front of outsiders, but there were some mistakes he had to admit to in front of his own family.
While Joseph Larson had bossed Finn Taylor around at Number One Pacific Heights, he had admitted to his mistake in front of his ancestors. Unfortunately, he didn’t see that in his grandson.
“If you had changed this personality of yours, I’d have handed the company over to you a long time ago. But look at you. How can I rest assured after handing it over to you? I’m afraid that you’ll bring the whole Larson family down! Kneel here until you understand what you’ve done wrong.”
Joseph Larson left dejectedly.
The next day, Finn Taylor was about to head to the Gold family’s residence. However, he ran into Clarine Landon at the foot of Pacific Heights.
Without any hesitation, she hopped into Finn Taylor’s car. “Let’s go to a Starbucks in town. I have something to tell you.”
Finn Taylor’s expression turned dark.?‘Does this lass think she knows me that well? How dare she order me around?’
But Finn Taylor didn’t pick a fight with her and simply drove her to a Starbucks.?‘Let’s see what this brat has to tell me.’
“A cup of latte and another cup of green tea.” Clarine Landon made an order for both of them.
When the drinks arrived, Clarine Landon placed the cup of green tea in front of her best friend’s husband. “Come on. Drink some green tea and have a taste of how bitter it is.”
‘There is more to what Clarine is saying.’?
Finn Taylor frowned. “What do you mean?”“What do I mean? That should be my question to you. Finn Taylor, could you get any more shameless? You even brought your lover into the house! What do you take Yvette for?” With that, Clarine Landon took out her phone and slammed it down on the table.
Finn Taylor picked it up and took a look. It was none other than the photo that Linda James had taken.
“Don’t you dare delete it. I have 100 backup copies of it.”
Finn Taylor was speechless. He had never expected the other to play such games with him.?‘I had no intention of deleting the photo.’
“Come with me.” Finn Taylor threw a few 20-dollar bills on the table. Then, he dragged Clarine Landon out and threw her into the car.
After that, he slammed down on the accelerator and sped off.
Clarine Landon was still screaming in the car. “Finn Taylor, let me out. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to silence the only witness? I’m telling you that Yvette knows the password to my cloud account. If I die, she’ll definitely go into my account. Then, she’ll see everything. You won’t be able to hide what you’ve done.”
Clarine Landon struggled frantically, acting as though Finn Taylor had kidnapped her against her will.
Finn Taylor merely rolled his eyes at her.
The car rolled to a stop, and Clarine Landon glanced around, realizing that Finn Taylor had brought her to a hospital. “Why did you bring me to a hospital? Oh, I know. You want to cremate me here!”
Clarine Landon was really a fool. She thought that Finn Taylor was going to cremate her here after killing her.
That way, nobody would be able to find her.
But Finn Taylor ignored her and dragged her into the hospital.
Along the way, Clarine Landon kept screaming for help, saying that she had been kidnapped.
In the end, Finn Taylor merely allayed their fears by saying that Clarine Landon was mentally ill.
Seeing that nobody cared about her, she feared for her life.?‘I’m done for.’
With that, Finn Taylor forcefully dragged her to the hospital’s third floor. Then, he pushed her into a ward.
She was about to lash out at Finn Taylor, but the sight stunned her.
She saw Diane Taylor lying on the bed, with all sorts of machines attached to her.
There were two doctors giving her a checkup by the side.
Seeing that someone had entered, the doctors glanced over and nodded at Finn Taylor. “Mr. Taylor, your CPR saved Ms. Taylor’s life. She’s now out of critical condition.”
“Have you found the cause?”
“Yes, it was an allergic reaction. Ms. Taylor is deathly allergic to peanuts. We found some remnants of peanut butter in her stomach.”
Finn Taylor nodded. “Thank you, Dr. Landon, Dr. James.”
The two doctors left, and Finn Taylor turned to his wife’s best friend. “Do you know why I kissed her now?”
Even up until now, Clarine Landon was in disbelief. “Do you mean that you were actually doing CPR? Oh right, Auntie Linda said that your hands were on her… Oh, that was CPR.”
Clarine Landon blushed as she connected the dots.
She had already lashed out at Finn Taylor and Diane Taylor countless times in her heart since last night, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
They were innocent.
“Don’t… tell me that all of this is just an act?”
“Why don’t I put that IV drip on you?”
Clarine Landon shook her head and chose to trust Finn Taylor and Diane Taylor.?‘There are so many machines and medications in front of me. Could this still be an act?’
“Fine. Since you misunderstood me, you must make it up to me.”
Clarine Landon hugged herself tightly. “What do you want to do?”
“Don’t think too much. I have no interest in you. You must help me clear my misunderstanding with Yvette.”
