Chapter 244: Turning the Tides

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“As the Larson family head, I declare that Yvette Larson will succeed me as the Larson family’s 34th head. I’ll abdicate from my position today. From now on, Yvette Larson will be our family’s new family head. Everyone from the Larson family must do as she says or be punished by the ancestors.”

The Larson family members shook their heads and shut their eyes as Joseph Larson uttered each word. Only Yvette Larson, Francis Larson, and Linda James were delighted.

It had been years since their family had started being suppressed in the Larson family. Their family had been humiliated by the rest of the family for years, and now, they’d finally turned the tides.

Just as everyone thought that things would simply end at that, they witnessed Finn Taylor grabbing hold of Joseph Larson with no intention of letting go. “Grandpa, choose an auspicious day for your cremation.”

Shock!

Complete shock!

Everyone was stupefied, and even Yvette Larson was at a loss for words.

Finn Taylor had just made clear his intentions to drive Joseph Larson to his death.

“Finn Taylor, I’ve already stepped down from my position. Are you going to drive me to my death?”

A smile was plastered across Finn Taylor’s face. “Grandpa, do you think Yvette and I care a lot about the Larson family? You know very well just what we’ve been subjected to over the past three years. You might’ve stepped down, but Yvette won’t be respected as the family head as long as you’re alive. A country can’t have two rulers—the same applies to a family.”

“Of course, I have other choices to help Yvette cement her position as the family head—that would be to kill all of you. The Larson family will start from Yvette, and she’ll be the first family head in that case. What do you think about that, Grandpa?”

Over the past three years, Joseph Larson had always regarded Finn Taylor as nothing more than a piece of trash. No matter how much he hit or scolded the latter, he would have no choice but to accept it.

Who would’ve expected Finn Taylor to be so vicious once he bit back?

‘Killing the entire Larson family and establishing a new Larson family starting from Yvette’s generation?’?

Joseph Larson didn’t know how much to trust Finn Taylor.

“Dad, I beg you. Please choose an auspicious date.” Franklin Larson fell on his knees as his head hit the ground.

He was asking his own father to die! With death on the line, Franklin Larson couldn’t care less about his own father.

“Father, I hope you die.” Frederick Larson fell on his knees as well—he didn’t want to die either.

“Dad, if you don’t die, I’m going to leave the Larson family with your only grandson.” Hilary Stone fell on her knees as well.

Joseph Larson had four children, but he had never liked his eldest son very much. That was why his eldest son’s family had always been alienated, while the second, third, and fourth families were favored.

Never in his life would he have thought that these three families would ask him to die!

“The Larson family’s burial grounds in three days’ time.” Joseph Larson shut his eyes, regret flooding his mind.

He didn’t hate Finn Taylor—he hated himself. He had made way too many mistakes in this life.

‘What kind of man was my father? He had insisted on Yvette Larson marrying Finn Taylor, so how could I have regarded him as a good-for-nothing?’

“Fine; the Larson family’s burial grounds. But three days later?” Finn Taylor laughed. “Grandpa, have you ever heard of this famous saying?”

“What saying?”

“Undue delay may bring trouble.” A smile was plastered across Finn Taylor’s face, yet his words were vicious.

Joseph Larson wanted to die on his own accord in three days’ time, but his grandson-in-law wasn’t even going to give him three days. He simply said that a delay often brought more trouble.

In short, he wanted Joseph Larson’s life now.

Disbelief and despair filled Joseph Larson’s eyes. “Finn Taylor, do you really hate me that much? Can’t you give me three days?”

Finn Taylor sneered. “If you’d only humiliated me, I would’ve given you three days. But have you thought about how you’ve treated Yvette? Do you still remember that piece of jade we bought? I’m sure you knew full well who bought the real piece between Yvette and Quince, but what did you end up doing? You smashed the real one that Yvette bought into pieces and proclaimed that Quince Larson bought the real one.”

“That’s just one event. Do you remember how Yvette and I represented the Larson family at the charity competition and won? But you said that Yvette smeared the family’s name by letting me participate and forced her to kneel down as an apology to you. That’s the second.”

“Do you also remember about how Quince Larson tried to get someone to rape Yvette and how she nearly died? Even so, you simply told him to reflect on his actions and let him off just like that. You’re so fair, Grandpa. Why don’t you ask yourself whether the company ever would’ve succeeded in the collaboration with the Sullivan family if not for Yvette? But time and time again, you’ve tried to drag her down and replace her with Quince Larson! Don’t you think that you’ve let her down?!”

Each and every word that Finn Taylor spat out was as sharp as a dagger, piercing Joseph Larson’s heart. It was then that the latter felt utter despair.

“I-I can die today to save you all that trouble, but I have a request too. Can you promise me not to threaten each other with your lives after I’m gone?” Now that he was nearing death, his words seemed kinder too.

Joseph Larson could let everything go now. His only wish was for the Larson family to stay intact.

“Only if you apologize to Yvette.” Finn Taylor knew just how much his wife had suffered over the past three years. Even if he were to kill Joseph Larson in the most brutal way possible, Finn Taylor still wouldn’t be able to vent even a hundredth of his hatred toward this old man.

He wanted the other to admit that he had done wrong.

‘Apologize!’

The Larson family was a traditional family—one where elders would never apologize to the younger generations no matter what they did.

In the past three years, Yvette Larson had tolerated everything. But now, Finn Taylor demanded an apology.

Emotions surged in Joseph Larson’s heart.?‘Do I have to destroy my reputation and dignity before I die?’

“Grandpa, I have no intention of forcing you to do anything. But as you said, the Larson family isn’t very tight-knit anyway. Since you’re unwilling to admit to your mistake, all I can say is that I’ll have nothing to do with the rest of the family if someone tries to come against us in the future.”

While Finn Taylor claimed that he wasn’t forcing Joseph Larson into making a decision, every word seemed to be contradicting him.

Three years!

Finn Taylor had held it in for three whole years! Now that he had finally decided to bite back, he was going to go all out.

This would definitely backfire on him if he were to leave a path out for the other.

In an instant, all eyes shot toward Joseph Larson.?‘Will he apologize?’
