The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Chapter 257: Truly Rich

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wedding dresses were traditionally white, so it was rare to see a lilac one.

Yvette Larson stepped forward toward the lilac dress. “This dress is beautiful!”

Just then, the boss of the boutique walked out. “You have a good eye, Miss, but this is the best gown we have here. However, this isn’t available for rent—only for sale.”

“Can you tell me if there’s a story behind this gown?” For some reason, Yvette Larson felt as though her tears were going to fall as she gazed at that gown. She felt a surge of emotions within her.

“Of course. Legend has it that there was a couple deeply in love, and they made a promise never to let each other go. Yet, an accident separated them. Just like that, decades passed before the lady was eventually able to learn of news from the guy. She remained unmarried for her entire life, but she was afraid to meet him for fear that he had already gotten married and that she’d bother him by looking for him.”

“It was only after his death that she realized that he had also been looking for her throughout his life. He had remained unmarried throughout his life. That lady turned up at the guy’s funeral in a white dress. Just as she stepped into his house, his neighbors happened to be sending him off. It was then that the most breathtaking sight occurred—a lilac butterfly flew out of the coffin and landed on her dress. In an instant, her white dress turned lilac. At that moment, that lady sighed and exclaimed, ‘Never let me go!'”

The boss had a captivating voice, which drew the listeners into the story.

“I want this gown,” Yvette Larson immediately said, clearly moved by the story.

But the boss remained indifferent. “Young lady, many other brides fell for this gown at first sight, but they quickly refused once they learned of the price. Why don’t you get to know how much it costs before considering it again? We have quite a large collection of dresses here.”

Yvette Larson quickly asked, “How much does it cost then?”

“Five million!” The boss stretched out five fingers, giving an extraordinary sum.

“F-five million?” Yvette Larson had already mentally prepared herself, and she was prepared to buy the gown even if it was slightly more expensive. After all, this would be the last time she’d take wedding photos.

She was going to give it her best this time, so as to show her most beautiful side. However, the price of five million made Yvette Larson pause.

At the very most, she was willing to part with 150,000 dollars. Anything above that seemed like a waste of money.

Five million was way over her budget!

“Miss, can I rent this gown?” Although the boss has already said that this gown was only for sale earlier, she still wanted to give it a try.

“I’m sorry. Because this gown is really too expensive, we can’t afford to rent this out in case something happens to it. Unfortunately, we’ll only sell it, not rent it out. Why don’t you take a look at the other gowns in our boutique, Miss? They’re just as beautiful.”

The boss was right. After all, this boutique was the best on the island.

Every gown was a unique and special piece—each would look stunning in photos no matter what. However, it seemed like a pity to wear another gown after seeing that lilac one.

This was why there was a little sadness in Yvette Larson’s eyes as she turned to the other gowns.

Of course, Finn Taylor spotted that. He took out his card and handed it to the boss.

“We’ll take that gown.” He pointed at the lilac gown.

Everyone’s jaws dropped.

The boss didn’t believe that there would be someone willing to shell out five million dollars for this gown.

Even Jamie Little didn’t believe that Finn Taylor would spend so much money on the gown. After all, she did have some understanding of the latter.

She knew that he was the matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family. How could someone like that with no status in the family have any money?

Even if he had any money, it had to be Yvette Larson’s! What power or status did Finn Taylor have?

But Yvette Larson was moved. She knew that her significant other would always buy her whatever she wanted as long as she asked for it.

“Are you really going to buy it?” asked the boss, and Finn Taylor nodded seriously.

She took the card from him and headed to the cashier, but her movements were exaggeratedly slow. Obviously, she was giving the couple some time to change their minds.

Once she swiped the card, there would be no way out.

Now, they could still change their minds at any time. But even so, the couple didn’t even show a tinge of regret.

Transaction successful!

The moment those two words appeared, the boss felt as though she was seeing a whole new world. She had just earned five million, yet it felt like she had just lost her life.

Finn Taylor had left with his wife’s hand in his, but not before instructing the boutique to send the gown to their hotel.

Instead of leaving immediately, Jamie Little stayed behind to chat with the boss.

“What’s going on? Who’s this man?”

“I’m curious too. What I know is that the woman is a chairman of a family business in San Francisco, while that man is a matrilocal son-in-law. Rumor has it in San Francisco that he’s a piece of trash who only knows how to do household chores.”

“…” The boss was speechless when she heard that.?‘Could that man be puffing himself up at his own cost?’

“Let me test him. I’ll see if he’s really a rich man.” Jamie Little was curious about this as well. As such, she decided to test the other.

“How are you going to test him?”

“Aren’t you putting ‘Eternal Love’ up for auction?”

“Oh, but I’m sure he won’t be able to buy it.”

“That doesn’t matter. We just have to see where he sits at the auction.”

The boss gave it some thought.

Jamie Little was right. The seats at the auction of ‘Eternal Love’ were assigned based on the attendee’s statuses.

If Finn Taylor was truly a useless matrilocal son-in-law, he wouldn’t even be able to enter the venue.

“I’ll wait for your news. Remember to let me know once you learn of it..” Women were gossipy, and the boss didn’t forget to remind Jamie Little.
