The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Panda Novel

Of course, Henry James’s family didn’t have 150,000 dollars. Yet, his daughter would be in grave danger if he didn’t hand over the money. Besides, the danger would only intensify with time.

It was a dead-end.

At the same time, Brother Dan had taken both Weston Shaw and Karine James away. Without Finn Taylor’s orders, he wasn’t going to let them go.

By now, Henry James’s and Karen James’s families were in a panic. After making several calls, the two families had managed to gather about 100,000 dollars. However, they still needed another 50,000 dollars.

Left with no other choice, they decided to approach the old lady together.

.

The latter was the family head, as well as the two children’s grandma. She had the obligation to fork out that money.

At that moment, the old lady—Lucy Williams—was enjoying a cup of tea at home. She cared very much about her own health.

But just then, her younger daughter and son’s families rushed into her house in a frenzy.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Lucy Williams was confused. ‘What are they doing?’

“Mom, I’m begging. Please save Karine.”

“Weston as well. Mom, please save Weston. He’s your only grandson and the hope of the James family.”

Lucy Williams’s gaze hardened. ‘I have never favored boys over girls. I’m not going to hand the family over to Weston just because he’s the only male in the family. Besides, I’m not even sure of my grandson’s character. Perhaps the James family might crumble and fall apart in his hands. However, Weston is still my grandson no matter what. I can’t just sit back and watch if something has happened to my grandson.’

“Slow down. What happened?” By now, the old lady could tell that something had really happened to her grandchildren.

“Finn Taylor got someone to kidnap Karine and Weston. He instructed them to break Weston’s legs and even…”

The old lady was curious. “And what?”

“Send Karine to 50 men for them to play with her. He even said that he wanted 150,000 dollars before he’d release them. It’ll be 150,000 today, 300,000 tomorrow, and 450,000 the following day… Mom, I’m begging you. Please save Karine!”

Clang!

The teacup in the old lady’s hands fell to the ground and broke into countless shards.

“How did things get to this stage?” The old lady was no fool. After a moment of shock, she realized that something was amiss. ‘Although there had been a misunderstanding between Finn Taylor, Karine, and Weston previously, they’ve already resolved it. Given my understanding of Finn Taylor, he wouldn’t try to take revenge on them.’

But seeing how vicious he was now, she was sure that her grandchildren must’ve done something. “Tell me. What did they do?”

“Mom, they…” Henry James stuttered, not knowing what to say.

Karen James lowered her gaze, remaining silent.

“Fine. If you still want to keep secrets from me, you can leave. I’m not going to interfere in this matter.”

“I-I’ll talk. Karine and Weston hired Brother Dan to kidnap Yvette and r*pe her!”

Slap!

The old lady slapped her son viciously—she was fuming. ‘Karine and Weston are my grandchildren, but isn’t Yvette my granddaughter too? It’s normal for a family to get into arguments at times, but they’ve gone overboard.’

“Mom, we know we’re wrong. Besides, Yvette is fine. Call Linda—beg her and get her to ask Finn Taylor to let Karine and Weston go.”

The old lady sighed constantly but eventually made the call to her eldest daughter because of her children’s pleas.

Linda James had no idea what had happened. All she knew was that Finn Taylor had saved her and her daughter.

Just then, the old lady called.

“Mom, what’s up?”

“Linda, am I still your mom?”

“Yes, why?”

“Good then. Ask Finn Taylor to release Karine and Weston. We’re a family, so why do we have to go so far?”

On the other end of the call, Linda James chuckled. Her laugh sounded so eerie that it scared even her mother. “Mom, you’re really a good mother. When I returned to the old residence with Yvette, Karine James and Weston Shaw got a whole bunch of people to kidnap us. You didn’t even ask how we were doing. The first thing you said was to let them go. Great; you’re really amazing.”

With that, Linda James hung up.

This left Lucy Williams stunned. She had never expected her eldest daughter to hang up on her.

“What did she say, Mom?” Henry James rushed up.

“She hung up.”

At that, both Henry James and Karen James were dumbfounded. ‘What are we going to do?’

“Mom, was that from the old lady?” Finn Taylor couldn’t help but ask when he saw his mother-in-law picking up a call.

“That’s right. How did you know?”

Finn Taylor glanced at the clock and chuckled. “It’s about time. Let’s go, Mom.”

“Where are we going?”

“The James family’s old residence.”

The James family had completely disregarded Yvette Larson’s family. They hadn’t even bothered to inform her family about the old lady’s birthday celebrations.

They had thought that Finn Taylor wouldn’t take it to heart, but he did.

To stand up for Yvette Larson, he was going to crush the entire James family under his feet. And where would be better to do that than the James family’s old residence?

Only by getting them to apologize where all their ancestors were would Finn Taylor’s anger dissipate. As such, Finn Taylor brought his wife and parents-in-law to the James family’s old residence.

“Mom, where’s the ancestral shrine? Take us there.”

Linda James nodded and led the way.

“Dad, go in and take four chairs out. We’ll sit right here.”

Francis Larson agreed at once. Very quickly, he moved four chairs out in front of the ancestral shrine.

The family of four had their backs toward the ancestral shrine.

“Mom, call the old lady and tell her that we’re at the ancestral shrine at the old residence. If she still wants to see her precious grandchildren, she’d better come over right now.”

Linda James had no idea what her son-in-law was up to, but she naturally wasn’t going to raise any objections after having witnessed what he was capable of. She simply made the call and conveyed Finn Taylor’s message; she didn’t say anything more.

As for the old lady, she was taken aback the moment she received the call.

“What’s wrong, Mom?”

“Linda called and said that they’re waiting at the ancestral shrine at the old residence. They want us to meet them there.”
