“What are you guys talking about?” By then, Kimberly Gold had woken up too. Seeing that her grandpa and father both had awful expressions, she couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

“Ask Finn Taylor out. I want to meet him.”

“Oh, that’s just as well. I haven’t met him in a while.”

“You don’t have to go; I’ll go meet him with your father.”

Kimberly Gold wanted to refuse, but she realized that her father was trying to meet his son-in-law. Suddenly, she grew anxious. “Dad, Finn Taylor is a good person. Don’t put him on the spot.”

‘Put him on the spot? It’ll be good enough if he doesn’t put me on the spot. Don’t you see the injury on my face? It’s all his fault!’ However, Shawn Gold appeared to agree to his daughter’s demand on the surface. “Alright, alright. I won’t put him on the spot.”

Donovan Taylor had never thought that this near-accident would lead to this series of events.

…

Over at the Larson family, Yvette Larson had finally waited until the break of day. Then, she rushed out to look for Hunter Sullivan.

Thankfully, Hunter Sullivan lived at Pacific Heights too.

Although every property at Pacific Heights was private property and entering would be trespassing, Yvette Larson was the owner of Number One Pacific Heights.

The property managers of Pacific Heights knew her, so nobody dared to stop her. They simply thought of this as the rich having their usual meetings.

When Yvette Larson arrived at the Sullivan family’s residence, Hunter Sullivan was still asleep. It was the helper who opened the door for her.

“Hello, I’m looking for Mr. Sullivan.”

The helper was a little confused. “May I get your name?”

Usually, Hunter Sullivan would always let the helper know in advance if he was expecting a visitor. However, he hadn’t told her anything this time.

“I’m the owner of Number One Pacific Heights—Yvette Larson.” Afraid that the other would chase her out, she quickly identified herself.

As expected, this identity was terribly useful.

Upon hearing this, the helper quickly invited Yvette Larson in and poured the latter a cup of tea.

There, Yvette Larson sat and waited for two hours before Hunter Sullivan finally woke up.

The moment he saw Yvette Larson, all drowsiness disappeared. It was Master Peregrine’s wife he was looking at after all.

“Why are you here, Ms. Larson?”

“I’m sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Sullivan. I have something to ask you.”

“Oh. Go ahead, Ms. Larson. I’ll help you as much as possible.”

‘Logically speaking, our positions should be reversed. Could this have something to do with Finn?’ Yvette Larson thought it was strange for Hunter Sullivan to be treating her so politely. “Mr. Sullivan, I want to ask you how much you know about Finn.”

“Isn’t Finn Taylor your husband?” Hunter Sullivan thought that this situation was incredulous. ‘Why is she asking a business partner about her own husband?’

“Someone who looks identical to Finn appeared in our house yesterday, but his personality is nothing like Finn’s.”

When Hunter Sullivan heard that, he felt his heart thumping rapidly against his chest. He thought of only one person—Donovan Taylor.

“Please hold on, Ms. Larson.” He dared not make any decision regarding Donovan Taylor.

He made a call to Logan Yeats, Alexander Scott, and Zachary Kennedy. All three of them were visibly shaken when they heard that Donovan Taylor had shown up in San Francisco.

Very quickly, they arrived at the Sullivan family’s house.

At that, Yvette Larson couldn’t help realizing that her husband wasn’t just an average person. ‘The Yeats family of Chicago, the Sullivan family of New York, the Scott family of Seattle, and the Kennedy family of Washington—do they all know Finn?’

“Ms. Larson, we suspect that that man is Finn Taylor’s twin brother.” After a short discussion, the four guardians eventually decided that they couldn’t tell Yvette Larson the full truth.

How could they reveal something that even Finn Taylor hadn’t? Yet, it didn’t seem right to keep her completely in the dark either.

“Twin brother?” Yvette Larson had never heard her husband mention a twin brother. But from what had happened yesterday, it did seem likely that her husband had a twin brother.

‘What is Finn’s family background? Why did the Old Master insist on me marrying him? Why did he even say that it’d be the best thing in my life marrying him when he was on his deathbed? And to think of what Finn’s done: buying Number One Pacific Heights and knowing prominent figures like Logan Yeats, Hunter Sullivan, Alexander Scott, and Zachary Kennedy. There’s more than meets the eye. Was I really wrong about him?’

“Ms. Larson, we suggest you move out of Number One Pacific Heights in case that person returns.” The four guardians remembered clearly what Master Peregrine had instructed them to do before leaving.

If anything happened to Yvette Larson, they’d be done for.

Yvette Larson gave it some thought and felt that they were right. As such, she quickly returned home to pack up her belongings.

When Clarine Landon opened her door to see her best friend with suitcases of all sizes at her door, she was stunned. “What, is your house on fire?”

“Tch, can you not curse me?”

“Why are you moving out of Number One Pacific Heights to stay with me?”

“I ran into some trouble.” Yvette Larson moved her belongings into the house. Then, she told her best friend all about what had happened the day before.

After hearing about what Finn Taylor had done, Clarine Landon finally understood what had happened: The person she had met wasn’t Finn Taylor.

‘No wonder I thought that person didn’t seem like Finn Taylor at all. It was all a beautiful misunderstanding.’

…

The dark pool.

Finn Taylor stepped out of the dark pool and stretched his bones. ‘The old lady thought that I’d die here after she locked me up here. What does she know? I’ve trained so many people and started keeping so many people by my side since I turned six. The dark pool might seem like hell to others, but it’s nothing to me.’

Finn Taylor had to make a trip home. He had to find out where his twin brother had gone.

…

Chicago, the Taylor family.

A shadow kneeled before Frida Cameron.

She turned toward that shadow. “I’ll send you to the dark pool. That person is very sly, so you’ll only have one chance.”

The shadow replied somberly, “I understand.”

Of course, the person Frida Cameron was talking about was none other than Finn Taylor. This shadow was an assassin that Peregrine Hall had cultivated; he had never missed a single shot.

The shadow stood up and headed out.

But the old lady heard a blood-curdling scream just then, followed by blood spurting all over. ‘What’s going on?’

Then, someone appeared before her.

When she caught sight of the bloodied man in front of her, she felt nothing but fear. “Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be in the dark pool? How did you get out?”

Just a second ago, the old lady had sent someone to kill Finn Taylor. But the next moment, Finn Taylor had killed that person.

The former was even standing right in front of her!

This was a huge shock to the old lady.
