The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Chapter 230: Bad Reputation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Finn Taylor simply pretended not to have seen Kimberly Gold huffing. “Third Master Gold, where are you?”

Seeing that Finn Taylor was simply ignoring her, Kimberly Gold tried to say coquettishly, “Finn, where have you been? I haven’t seen you in a long time.”

Kimberly Gold continued speaking behind Finn Taylor, who acted as though she was invisible.

This made Kimberly Gold very displeased, and she finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Finn Taylor, why are you ignoring me?”

Just then, Third Master Gold arrived.

“Finn Taylor is here.”

In reality, Third Master Gold had arrived a long time ago. He had simply remained hidden to see if a relationship between Kimberly Gold and Finn Taylor was even possible. However, he had gotten his answer the moment Kimberly Gold posed her question.

He was left with no choice but to emerge from his hiding place. He knew that his granddaughter would definitely be hurt if Finn Taylor were to reply to her.

That would be brutal.

The Gold family was well-known, but it was nothing when compared to Peregrine Hall, much less Master Peregrine of Peregrine Hall.

Finn Taylor’s one word would be enough to cause his granddaughter to break down. He naturally didn’t want to witness that.

Although he managed to prevent it, he already understood in his heart that he would have to guide his granddaughter well. It was impossible between her and Finn Taylor.

However, Kimberly Gold knew nothing about her grandpa’s good intentions. In fact, she was still blaming him in her heart.?‘Why did he have to turn up now? I’d have had the chance to spend more time with Finn Taylor alone otherwise, and we might have even gotten together!’?

“Finn Taylor, take a look at this.”

Finn Taylor picked up the item Third Master Gold handed over and analyzed it. “How interesting. Are these people trying to threaten me?”

Finn Taylor was holding a document in his hand—one that many of the San Francisco Chess Association’s elders had signed.

They wanted him to win the World Youth Chess Championship. Otherwise, they would topple the Larson Corporation.

Finn Taylor scanned through the names on the document, taking them all to heart.

It didn’t mean much for Finn Taylor to participate in the tournament. After all, he had already agreed to it from the beginning.

What he disliked was others trying to threaten him in this manner, especially when it involved his wife.

Yvette Larson was Finn Taylor’s weak spot. It only went to show how stupid these people were by using her as a threat against him.

“Finn Taylor, Carl Gillies’s and my name aren’t on it.” The moment Third Master Gold said those words, Finn Taylor finally understood why the former had called him over.

This document had been sent in the name of the San Francisco Chess Association. It was only natural for him to blame Carl Gillies for it, yet Third Master Gold had protected him with his words.

As for his own name, he had only slipped it in casually.

Given his relationship with Finn Taylor, the latter would probably realize straight away that he hadn’t signed it anyway.

“Alright, I understand,” Finn Taylor replied positively.?‘Carl Gillies will be spared this time.’

“I have something to attend to at home. I’m leaving.” Picking up the document, Finn Taylor headed out.

Kimberly Gold was about to speak up when her grandpa held her back.

When Finn Taylor was finally out of sight, Kimberly Gold flared up. “Grandpa, it’s so rare for him to visit us! How could you let him leave just like that?”

“Kimberly, he’s a married man.” This time, Third Master Gold didn’t give in to his granddaughter. Instead, he genuinely tried to counsel her.

Yet, its effectiveness seemed minimal.

Kimberly Gold gave a cold harrumph before stomping off.

Third Master Gold felt helpless, but he wasn’t going to waver on this matter.

Just then, someone appeared by his side. “D-did he really escape from that place?

Third Master Gold was no stranger to the man who had suddenly appeared—it was Carl Gillies.

He had invited the latter over. They had deliberately told Finn Taylor about that document to ensure Carl Gillies’s safety, as well as observe his attitude toward it.

“I’ve offended quite a lot of big shots here in San Francisco because of this.” Carl Gillies sighed.

Beside him, Third Master Gold smiled. “That’s better than losing your life, don’t you think? Those people are so useless, but they still want to go against him.”

“But he looks so gentle and peace-loving. Will he really kill someone?”

“Not if they’d only asked him to participate in the competition. Unfortunately, those fools insisted on adding his wife’s name there. Now, nobody can save them.”

Hearing that, Carl Gillies suddenly laughed. “In that case, your granddaughter is done for.”

Third Master Gold huffed and glared at his friend. “Don’t laugh. You should worry about yourself.”

“Why?” Carl Gillies seemed relaxed as though he had not a single care in the world.

“Megan Daimler is here in San Francisco.”

“I know. She’s here to personally invite Finn Taylor over as a sign of respect.”

“A sign of respect? I think you’re overthinking it. The last time Finn Taylor won against Megan Daimler, I could tell that she had feelings for him. I’m sure that’s why she’s made the trip here this time.”

“So what? She’s not my granddaughter.” Carl Gillies was indifferent.

“But you’re the boss of the San Francisco Chess Association. How do you think Jessica Daimler will treat you if her disciple gets her heart broken here?”

“F*ck!” Carl Gillies was stunned.?‘I have to take the blame for this too?’

…

When Finn Taylor arrived home, he noticed two guests at home—one of whom was Clarine Landon.

She broke out into a smile the moment she saw Finn Taylor. “You’re finally back. I heard that you made a bet with someone.”

As she said so, she constantly glanced at the third lady—one wearing a black leather jacket and a baseball cap and was about 1.7 meters tall. “Let me introduce her. She’s my best friend—Willow Stone.”

Finn Taylor nodded at Willow Stone.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been living overseas, so I wasn’t able to attend your wedding.”

Finn Taylor’s eyes remained on Willow Stone. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that this woman was hiding something.

“It’s impolite to keep staring at a woman.” Willow Stone suddenly spoke up.

“Ms. Stone, what does your family do?”

“Oh, my parents are businessmen in America. If you’re interested, you can bring Yvette over for a trip. We’ll host you well!” Her words then took a sudden turn. “Along the way here, I’ve heard many things about you, Mr. Taylor.. It seems like you don’t have a very good reputation.”
