Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nobody would’ve thought much of Kelly Jensen if she had remained silent, yet she had chosen to speak up. Right then, Gregory Jensen, Kimberly Gold, and Finn Taylor seemed to have understood the situation.

Kelly Jensen felt a chill run down her spine as the trio glared at her.?‘Could they have seen through my ploy? But that’s impossible.’

Gregory Jensen turned to Hailey Miller and lectured her. “Young lady, this isn’t a big deal, but it’s no small matter either. If I find out that you were maligning him, I’ll strip you naked and throw you out on the streets. You won’t even be able to do anything about that. Of course, I’m fair and just. If you tell me who instigated you, I won’t make things difficult for you either.”

Hailey Miller was just a young and gullible student who had never faced such threats in her life. She was so shaken that her whole body was trembling in fear.

She glanced cautiously at Gregory Jensen. She then quickly pointed at Kelly Jensen and dumped all of the money out of her bag. “It was her—she put me up to this. I don’t know anything. Please, I’m begging you. Let me off! I’m just a student.”

Gregory Jensen glanced at Finn Taylor, waiting for the latter to instruct him on how to handle the young lady.

Thankfully, Finn Taylor didn’t intend on punishing her. He simply waved her off as Gregory Jensen said, “Scram! Remember not to do such things in the future!”

After thanking Finn Taylor profusely, she sped off. She didn’t dare to stay there for a second longer; it wasn’t out of embarrassment but terror.

The one who had been threatening her didn’t seem that frightening. In fact, his threats sounded like empty words to her.

It was the man she had wrongfully accused that felt extraordinary.

Finn Taylor, Kimberly Gold, and Gregory Jensen glared at Kelly Jensen.

At that moment, Kelly Jensen was terrified.?‘Did I do something wrong? I just don’t like that piece of trash! Am I wrong for that? What right does that piece of trash have to stand beside me?’

She felt that she had done nothing wrong, but Kimberly Gold coldly set her in her place. “Gregory Jensen, I’ll ask Grandpa to reconsider our family’s collaboration with the Jensen family.”

With that, she turned to leave with Finn Taylor.

To be honest, Gregory Jensen didn’t really care about that. What he cared about was Finn Taylor’s earlier gaze.

That cool gaze was something he had only seen in the most successful elites—all of whom wielded great power.

Upon thinking back on the incident at the mall, a chill ran down Gregory Jensen’s spine. He knew that the Jensen family’s days were over, and the culprit was none other than Kelly Jensen.

Although he had previously offended Finn Taylor, he had not done so on purpose. The latter had also been magnanimous enough to forgive him.

Besides, he had had a good chat with the other earlier, and they had already gotten past their hatred. But Kelly Jensen had now ruined everything.

Gregory Jensen didn’t want to say anything more.?‘What’s done is done. Even if I kill Kelly, I won’t be able to turn back time. Now, I can only rush back home and discuss with Grandpa about what to do.’

Gregory Jensen forcefully dragged his cousin home.

Along the way, the latter said nothing. She didn’t think that she had done anything wrong, so she tried to make her cousin talk.?‘Doesn’t he love me the most? Is he going to sentence me to death just because I made a small mistake and played a prank? That can’t be true.’

Yet, Kelly Jensen flew into a frenzy as her cousin refused to speak to her.

Very quickly, the pair returned home.

Seeing that the cousins had returned home together, Aaron Jensen’s curiosity was piqued. “Hey, what’s going on?”

Gregory Jensen simply flung his cousin onto the ground before saying, “Grandpa, she set Finn Taylor up and was exposed. Because of that, she angered the Gold family and provoked Finn Taylor too.”

Aaron Jensen couldn’t help but flare up when he heard that. He was good chess buddies with Third Master Gold and Carl Gillies, so the other two had naturally told him all about Finn Taylor’s exceptional talent and extraordinary background.

However, he had never expected that his family would get into such trouble while the other families were trying so hard to get in Finn Taylor’s good books.

“We’re done for.” That was all Aaron Jensen said as he plopped onto the ground, his gaze empty.

Kelly Jensen had never seen that look in her grandpa, and even she was stunned.?‘That can’t be. Isn’t he just a useless matrilocal son-in-law? It’s not like I provoked some extraordinary figure. Why are they all acting like this?’

“Grandpa, Finn Taylor is… He’s just a piece of trash!”

Slap!

Before she could finish her sentence, Gregory Jensen slapped her viciously in the face.

Although Gregory Jensen loved his cousin, he wasn’t going to spoil her. Kelly Jensen had made a mistake—one that was about to destroy the entire Jensen family.

He wasn’t going to tolerate it.

“Grandpa, I have an idea. When Finn Taylor left, he didn’t say anything. That means that he hasn’t sentenced our family to death yet. Grandpa, we still have Grandpa Carl and Third Master Gold on our side, so we can probably appease him if we show up with lavish gifts to apologize.”

After giving it some thought, it seemed like this was the only solution.

“Kelly Jensen, you have to come with me and personally apologize to Mr. Taylor.”

Kelly Jensen grew even more confused.?‘I’ve simply offended a useless matrilocal son-in-law. Why did my best friend abandon me? Why did my most beloved cousin abandon me too? And now, it seems like even Grandpa is going to abandon me.’

Eventually, Kelly Jensen was dragged along against her will. However, the Pacific Heights neighborhood wasn’t accessible to just anyone.

Even Aaron Jensen had to wait at the bottom of the hill.

The trio was frustrated that they couldn’t head up to the peak, much less Number One Pacific Heights.

In the end, Gregory Jensen suggested, “Why don’t we go to the Larson family’s residence? Rumor has it that Finn Taylor treats his wife especially well, so it’d probably be the same if we go to the Larson family’s residence to apologize.”

Aaron Jensen sighed.?‘We have no other choice, and it would be better than nothing.’

As such, the trio headed toward the Larson family’s residence.
