Chapter 384: Equal
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Kimberly Gold’s hostile tone came like a bolt out of the blue to Finn Taylor.?‘The young girl is practically severing ties with me.’
“Don’t be so stubborn. Your face is what matters now.” Finn Taylor couldn’t care less about whether the young girl was willing to follow him.
Her face had just been injured, and it was still treatable if she got the necessary help right away. However, the chances of a full recovery would decrease as time passed.
Finn Taylor wasted no time as he picked the young girl up and threw her into the car.
Kimberly Gold struggled, but it was in vain.
The man gave no care toward her opinions as he started the ignition. He then made a call to Jeremy Smith, asking the latter to head to Andre Cavill’s bar.
By the time Finn Taylor arrived at the bar, the doctor was already there.
“Sir, please treat her injury.”
Jeremy Smith took a close look at Kimberly Gold’s face and smiled as he nodded. “Thankfully, it hasn’t been three hours yet. It’s still treatable.”
Kimberly Gold was overwhelmed with emotions when she heard that. Before this, she thought that she was disfigured forever and had no chance of recovering. That was why she had been so cold to the man.
However, the doctor now said that there was hope for her!
“Kimberly, I’m leaving. I’ll get someone to send you back. Let’s not contact each other for now. Trust me; I’ll get revenge on Melanie Taylor for you.”
Kimberly Gold felt all sorts of emotions as the man left, not even knowing how she truly felt. She had long gotten over her crush on Finn Taylor, but it felt great being protected by an elder brother.
…
At the same time.
Linda James arrived at Melanie Taylor’s company with Finn Taylor’s secret. She walked straight to the elevator but was stopped by the receptionist. “Who are you to stop me? Do you know who I am? I’m good friends with your CEO. I have something important to discuss with her.”
Nonetheless, the receptionist didn’t budge. “I’m sorry. It’s part of our company’s rules; you have to make an appointment before you’re allowed upstairs. We don’t have any information on your appointment.”
In Linda James’s mind, she thought that she had something very crucial for Melanie Taylor. This meant that she was on the same level as the latter.
Yet, she had forgotten one thing—she didn’t even mean anything to Melanie Taylor.
Although Linda James claimed to know secrets regarding her ex-son-in-law, Melanie Taylor didn’t need any of that. She was capable enough to suppress the other without any help.
“How dare you stop me!?” Linda James reached out to slap the receptionist.
But just then, someone reached over and grabbed hold of her arm. “What’s the matter? Why are you so angry that you’re slapping my employee?”
It was Levi Taylor.
Of course, Melanie Taylor was there too.
“Levi, let go of me. I’ve found out Finn Taylor’s secrets. I’m here to look for your sister.”
Levi Taylor shoved the woman away, and she nearly fell onto the ground.
“Ms. Taylor.” From their conversation, the receptionist understood that Linda James knew Melanie Taylor. Although she had done nothing wrong, she couldn’t help but feel slightly anxious.
Of course, Melanie Taylor wouldn’t be so petty toward a mere receptionist. She waved the other off. “It’s alright. Do whatever you have to.”
With that, the receptionist returned to her workstation.
“How dare you slap my receptionist, Linda James?”
The older woman replied without any fear, “Why can’t I? I’m here to deliver news to you, but she didn’t allow me to go up to your office. Don’t you think I was right to have slapped her?”
“You better look at where you are. How dare you try to slap my employee?” Melanie Taylor sneered as her brother viciously slapped the older woman in the face, causing the latter’s face to swell up.
The Taylor siblings had been brought up strictly, and their education ranged from business management to martial arts.
Although Levi Taylor wasn’t exceptionally skilled, he could easily defeat someone like Linda James.
“You hit me? How dare you hit me! Melanie Taylor, I’m here to tell you about Finn Taylor’s secrets. Don’t you think we’re on the same level since I’m here to give you intel?”
The younger lady scoffed. “Equal? Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you think you’re qualified to be on the same level as me? Even a dog that I raise will be more valuable than you, much less a receptionist in my company. Your so-called intel is nothing but nonsense. Do you think Finn Taylor will have a chance of making a comeback against me when I have such great resources? I’ll make him die a terrible death!”
Melanie Taylor beckoned for security officers and ordered them to throw Linda James out of the office building.
The woman was still in a daze.?‘I tried so hard and even sold my soul to get intel on Finn from Yvette. I thought that I’d be able to get some benefits from Melanie Taylor, but she has never even cared about me! Am I really that lowly to her?’?
…
When he returned home, Finn Taylor was about to knock on his neighbor’s door.?‘But we’re just neighbors. It’s better to stay in our own lanes and not disturb each other if there’s nothing urgent.’?
Just then, Andre Cavill called to say that Kimberly Gold had already returned. Her face had been treated, and the doctor had said that it would take a week to heal up at the very longest.
Andre Cavill then told Finn Taylor that he was organizing a party that night, inviting the latter over.
‘The trip to Chicago was quite exhausting. Maybe the party will help me relax.’?Thus, he didn’t refuse the other’s offer.
Although that was the case, he was actually planning on meeting the four guardians to plan out their next moves.
When he arrived at the bar, he witnessed the men decorating the place.
The bar had been transformed into an airplane cabin.
“What’s going on?”
“We’re hosting a party for flight attendants tonight, and we invited quite a few of them over. Do you want to have some fun too?” said Andre Cavill just as Hunter Sullivan walked in.
“Andre Cavill, how dare you say that? You’d be dead if you said that in front of Yvette.”
Andre Cavill chortled. “I’m just joking.”
His boss laughed as well. “I don’t mind you guys playing but don’t bring me along. Hunter, let’s go upstairs. I have something to tell you.”
Finn Taylor gestured for the man to follow him.
