Yvette Larson glared at Kimberly Gold, her eyes filled with murderous intent. She seemed to be saying with her deadly glare that she'd get a divorce from her husband if he dared to get into the car.

Finn Taylor couldn't help but feel helpless.

​​

"Who are you? What's your relationship to Finn Taylor?" Linda James lashed out as she pointed at her son-in-law. "No wonder you've dared to rebuke me nowadays. You've gotten to know such a shady young brat."

Linda James had never held back with her words. She didn't care if that shady young brat she was talking about was right in front of her.

In an instant, Kimberly Gold exploded. "How dare you call me a shady young brat? I'm not done with you!"

Linda James wasn't the slightest bit shaken. "You know that Finn Taylor is married, but you're still trying to seduce him. What are you if not a shady young brat?"

"Good. I—Kimberly Gold— will remember your words. I'll make sure you'll regret them." Kimberly Gold was fuming. 'I'm the princess of the Gold family's third branch. How dare someone call me a shady young brat!'

"What? What's your name?" Yvette Larson was stunned when she heard Kimberly Gold's name.

"I'm the eldest daughter of Grandpa's third branch, Kimberly Gold. Third Master Gold is my grandpa." Kimberly Gold didn't hide anything and boldly announced her identity.

In an instant, the entire Larson family was dumbfounded.

Linda James wanted to say something, but her daughter stopped her. "I'm sorry. My mother didn't recognize you. I'm sorry if she offended you with her words."

The Gold family of Chicago wasn't one to be trifled with. It was one of the top families in Chicago.

Even though the third branch wasn't the main branch of the family, their status was still much higher than the Larson family of San Francisco.

"Sure, I can let this go. I'll forgive her if you let him bring me on a joyride today." Kimberly Gold pointed at Finn Taylor, clearly threatening the other.

At that, Yvette Larson was infuriated. 'How dare this woman threaten to take my husband away?'

'Yvette, just agree to her request. We can't afford to offend the Gold family." Yet, Linda James spoke up just then. She tried to persuade her daughter to agree to Kimberly Gold's request.

Yvette Larson harrumphed and turned to leave. Although she hadn't said anything, she had given a silent agreement.

Linda James didn't dare to remain at the door for fear that Kimberly Gold would continue putting her on the spot.

Then, they left.

Only Finn Taylor and Kimberly Gold were left at the door.

"Is this fun?" Finn Taylor was speechless. 'I'm already treading on thin ice when it comes to my relationship with my wife, and Kimberly Gold is clearly fanning the flames. However, she's not doing this on purpose. After all, she doesn't know about what has happened between us.'

"Hurry up and take me on a joyride." Kimberly Gold didn't care the slightest bit about what was going on with the other's family. She simply took a seat in the front passenger seat.

Finn Taylor was helpless. 'This brat would probably kick up a huge fuss if I don't bring her out today.'

As soon as Finn Taylor took his seat, Kimberly Gold put an address into the GPS. "Take me there."

Finn Taylor glanced at the address—it was Crystal Restaurant. 'It's a well-known restaurant in San Francisco. What is this brat trying to do?'

However, he didn't refuse. Anyway, the most important thing was to chase this brat out of his house for now.

Very quickly, Finn Taylor and Kimberly Gold arrived at the restaurant.

She led him to the top floor, where there was a private kitchen.

While there wasn't a chef here, many ingredients were prepared. Crystal Restaurant would get whatever one requested.

"Grandpa said that money is money. Our family still owes you a favor for what you did for us yesterday, so I've decided to cook a meal for you to repay your kindness."

The moment Finn Taylor heard that, he couldn't help but wonder if he was going to be poisoned to death.

But unexpectedly, Kimberly Gold seemed to be at home in the kitchen. It seemed like she hadn't been joking when she said that she knew how to cook.

"You really know how to cook?"

"Of course. Do you feel honored? I bet you've never been treated like this in the Larson family. In a family, men should be breadwinners while women take care of the family. You'll conquer the world outside, and I'll cook for you at home. Don't you think that I'm better than your wife?"

Finn Taylor rolled his eyes. "No, I think that my wife is better."

Kimberly Gold was fuming. 'He's been bullied and humiliated in the Larson family, yet he's still so willing to live there! How am I any worse than Yvette Larson?'

"Oh right, my grandpa's company is probably going to open soon. We'll probably be quite a force to be reckoned with in San Francisco. This is the invitation from my grandpa. When the time comes, make sure you attend the grand opening."

Finn Taylor glanced at the invitation. 'There is much more to this invitation than what meets the eye. Although the Gold family wants to settle down in San Francisco, they have been met with quite a lot of opposition from the other families in the city. But those families haven't succeeded, and it'll only be a matter of time before the Gold family settles down in San Francisco.'

'Under such circumstances, it's only natural for all the other families to suck up to the Gold family. After all, the latter is much more powerful than any of them—this includes even the Sanders family. However, I have received an invitation. Moreover, the invitation clearly states that I'd be seated at the host's table, which holds even more significance.'

Finn Taylor glanced at Kimberly Gold and nodded. "Thank Third Master Gold for me."

When Finn Taylor returned home, his wife was sitting on the sofa.

Seeing that he had entered, she said blandly, "There's a meeting in the office tomorrow."

With that, she turned to leave.

Finn Taylor watched his spouse's departing figure helplessly. 'I want to explain myself, but there are some things I don't know how to put into words. Once I tell her about these matters, all my previous efforts will have been in vain. In fact, I might even bring more trouble to the Larson family. But if I choose not to tell her, I'm afraid that Yvette will get impatient and divorce me one day.'

'There's a meeting in the office tomorrow.' Finn Taylor was a little dazed. 'Yvette had waited for me in the living room just to tell me that. It seems like she still has feelings for me. It's just that she is too embarrassed to say so.'

The next day, Finn Taylor's family headed to the office together.

That shocked Finn Taylor. After all, Francis Larson and Linda James rarely headed to the office.

It seemed like there was something important the family wanted to discuss.

Once everyone arrived, Joseph Larson jumped straight in. "In a few days' time, Third Master Gold will be opening his company in San Francisco. Many families have already gone to visit him to score an invitation. Of course, the Larson family should participate too. Which of you is confident in winning an invitation from the Gold family?"
