The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Chapter 186: I’ll Raise the Kid

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Finn Taylor’s ‘congratulations’ infuriated Eleanor Larson.

How had this child been conceived? Others might not know about it, but was Eleanor Larson not clear about that? It was the biggest humiliation in her entire life, yet she had to use this humiliation in exchange for her glory.

However, she knew full well in her heart that this glory was nothing but shame. If others were to scold her or treat her indifferently, she might’ve felt better. But congratulating her like what Finn Taylor had just done only made her feel much worse.

“Finn Taylor, you can shut up if you have nothing better to say.”

Finn Taylor sneered as he looked at Eleanor Larson. “How’s the baby? When’s it due?”

Eleanor Larson had never intended to give birth to the child, so the due date was very much non-existent.

She couldn’t help but think that her cousin’s husband was behaving strangely..?‘Hadn’t he just asked me to abort the baby a few days ago? Why is he acting so concerned about me? It seems as though he wants me to give birth to the child. But no matter what happens, I will never agree to that.’

“That’s none of your business.”

Finn Taylor was unperturbed by Eleanor Larson’s rage. He was waiting for Alexander Scott’s arrival, so he was just trying to waste some time with small talk since he was bored.

After a long while, Alexander Scott finally arrived. He had even brought four bodyguards with him.

Of course, the Larson family had already expected this.

If things went south, they might even get into a scuffle. He would be risking his life coming alone, so it was normal for him to bring bodyguards with him.

“You’re finally here,” Eleanor Larson said when she saw Alexander Scott.

But the latter was extremely cold toward her. “Let’s have a chat.”

It was a long desk, and Quince Larson sat on one end while Alexander Scott sat on the other.

Eleanor Larson chose to sit next to her cousin.

As for the rest of the Larson family, they simply sat wherever suited them.

“Well, have you thought about how much you’re going to compensate me?” Eleanor Larson went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Finn Taylor’s gaze turned cold. He hadn’t expected Eleanor Larson to be in such a hurry, but this only confirmed his guess—the child was not Alexander Scott’s!

All eyes were glued to Alexander Scott as he drummed his fingers against the desk.

Every time they made a sound, the Larson family couldn’t help but feel that their hearts were being pounded against.

“Give birth to the child.” Finally, Alexander Scott spoke up after thinking for ten whole minutes.

His words stunned the entire family, especially Eleanor Larson.

“What did you say?”

“I said, give birth to the kid.” Alexander Scott repeated himself.

The Larson family looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.?‘What’s going on?’

“The child will have no status. What will they get even if they’re born?” Eleanor Larson refused. “I just want 1.5 million. If you give me 1.5 million, I’ll abort the baby.”

Eleanor Larson quoted a price, and it was already much lower than what she had expected previously. But now that things weren’t going her way, she didn’t dare to ask for anything more.

“Don’t abort it. I’m still unmarried. Since you’re pregnant with my child, I’ll naturally marry you in a grand ceremony and bring you home. I heard that the Larson family has run into some trouble recently and might even have to shut down the business. It’s no big deal. If you guys are fine with it, I can ask the Sullivan family to continue their collaboration with you. Otherwise, I’ll take over the project from them.”

The entire Larson family immediately agreed to his suggestion, but Eleanor Larson felt that things were spinning out of control way too quickly.

“Oh, right. Eleanor Larson, you mentioned 1.5 million. I’ll give you that much money as a gift. What else do you need? Will a villa on Pacific Heights and a Ferrari be enough? Why don’t all of you help us think about what else we’d need for a wedding?”

The Larson family went crazy like ravenous wolves. They were overwhelmed with emotions as soon as they heard Alexander Scott.

One said that he should receive a Rolls-Royce, while another said that she should receive a million-dollar villa.

Now, 1.5 million seemed much more like 150 dollars in their eyes. They were all fighting to get a share of the pie.

Eleanor Larson bit down on her lips.?‘There is no way something as good as this is true. Something must’ve gone wrong, but I can’t place my finger on it yet.’

Very quickly, Alexander Scott’s subordinate had written down all of the relatives’ extravagant requests.

Alexander Scott took a good look at the list.

Everyone’s gazes stiffened, and they stared at him. They couldn’t wait to see if Alexander Scott would agree to their requests.

If he did, that would be crazy!

Eventually, Alexander Scott nodded after what seemed like an eternity. “Alright, I can fulfill all these requests.”

At that moment, the entire Larson family burst out into cheers. They all gazed at Eleanor Larson as though she was a saint, even calling her affectionately.

But just then, Alexander Scott spoke up. “Everyone, since Eleanor Larson and I are getting into a shotgun marriage, I think it’s only right for us to do a paternity test.”

The family elders didn’t give it much thought and simply agreed.?‘This is completely normal. How can she expect to marry into a rich family without doing a paternity test?’

Now, Eleanor Larson finally knew what was wrong. She shook her head. “I’m not going to take a paternity test. You don’t trust me. Either you give me 1.5 million for me to abort the baby, or you marry me without doing the paternity test.”

At that, Alexander Scott—who had been polite all along—turned tough. “Eleanor Larson, that’s not up to you. If you don’t do a paternity test, I won’t marry you, much less give you 1.5 million dollars to abort the baby. Please try to persuade Eleanor, everyone. I came full of sincerity today, but I never thought that it would end this way. How saddening.”

Alexander Scott had just offered the entire Larson family such lavish gifts, yet it had gone up in the air just because of Eleanor Larson’s decision.

Of course, the Larson family wasn’t going to let it go just like that.
