Chapter 95: I Bought the House

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Finn Taylor, did you hear what Grandpa said? You’d better buck up. Your achievements count toward Yvette’s.” Quince Larson deliberately cut in to mock Yvette Larson and her husband.

He was always like this. No matter what it was, he always found a way to bring Finn Taylor into the matter.

It seemed as though he would get great benefits from denigrating Finn Taylor.

As such, Yvette Larson’s expression immediately fell.?‘It was Finn who had scored us the collaboration with the Sullivan family. Honestly, my husband has done much better than you, Quince Larson.’

Yvette Larson had to resist the urge to spill this huge secret. However, her spouse reached out and stopped her from doing so.

“Brother, you’re really looking down on Finn Taylor.” Just as the rest of the Larson family was mocking Finn Taylor, Eleanor Larson spoke up.

What shocked everyone was that Eleanor Larson was speaking up for Finn Taylor!

Quince Larson was confused. “What do you mean, Eleanor?”

“Brother, don’t you know how impressive Finn Taylor is? He’s already bought a house and is hosting a housewarming party in five days’ time. Haven’t you received an invitation?” Eleanor Larson was saying this on purpose.

As expected, the entire Larson family exploded.

“Yvette Larson, do you mean your family bought a house?”

Quince Larson had never thought well of Finn Taylor. Of course, he directed his question at his cousin alone.

Yvette Larson felt terribly awkward when asked about the house.?‘Even I hadn’t known anything about it, but Quince Larson and the rest are never going to let me off.’

“Yvette Larson, don’t you think you’re overdoing it? You’ve just gotten a new car, so how could you get a new house as well? Are you trying to empty the company’s bank account?”

Quince Larson’s words turned everyone’s attention to Yvette Larson. That was exactly the thought on everyone’s minds.

‘If you say that you’ve never taken a cent from the company, how could you have had the money to buy a house?’

“Brother, I respect you, but you should respect me too. I’ve never taken any money from the company.”

Eleanor Larson sneered. “Yvette Larson, if you’ve never embezzled any money from the company, why don’t you tell us where you got the money to buy your car and house? Don’t tell me that you struck the lottery!”

“That’s right. Tell us.”

Yvette Larson was fuming. She wanted to tell everyone that her husband had paid for both the car and the house, but she knew that not a single person from the Larson family would believe her even if she were to tell the truth.

“I don’t care if you guys believe me or not. Anyway, I’ve never taken a cent from the company. If you think I really did, you can go check the accounts. If you find anything wrong, I’m willing to go to jail.”

Yvette Larson felt that this would be enough to prove her innocence.

However, the Larson family didn’t share that thought. On the contrary, it cemented their belief that she had embezzled the company’s money.

Actually, everyone knew full well that they had all embezzled money from the company through the years they had been working for the Larson Corporation.

The only reason Yvette Larson dared them to check the accounts was that she knew that they couldn’t afford to do so.

If they were to do so, all members of the Larson family would be done for, especially Quince Larson. He had always held a high position in the Larson Corporation. As such, he had benefited the most from the company.

If they were to conduct an investigation, he might very well spend the rest of his life in jail!

“Yvette Larson, we won’t conduct an investigation. It’ll take too much work to check on the accounts. Do you want our company to close down? You just have to tell us where you got the money to buy your car and house.” Quince Larson naturally wasn’t going to check through the accounts, but he wasn’t going to make that too obvious either.

“Quince Larson, I’m going to repeat myself. I’ve never taken a cent from the company. I’m willing to face an investigation, but I’m not going to let you malign me.”

Seeing that Quince Larson and Yvette Larson were about to get into a heated argument, Joseph Larson slammed his fist on the table. “Why are you making such a din? Didn’t you just sign an agreement to say that you’re all a family? Do you want to split up now?”

Under pressure from their grandpa, the cousins finally kept quiet.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about such unhappy things. Grandpa is right. Yvette, we’re all happy for you now that you bought a new house. You should invite your family for a party, shouldn’t you?”

Eleanor Larson said that on purpose. It was true she couldn’t find any evidence of Yvette Larson embezzling the company’s funds, but she had to let her grandpa see for himself the kind of house her cousin had bought.

That way, her grandpa would have a rough estimate of how much Yvette Larson had taken from the company.

“Grandpa, we bought a second-hand property. We didn’t intend on inviting anyone over, but I attended my classmate’s housewarming party a few days ago, and they insisted on coming over. That’s why we made a last-minute decision to host a party as well. We’ll naturally welcome you if you want to come, Grandpa.”

Now that things had gotten to this point, Yvette Larson had no choice but to invite everyone too.

This was exactly what Eleanor Larson had been waiting for.

Who would’ve expected Joseph Larson to say, “I’m not going; I’ll be staying at home. Don’t bother me with whatever goes on in the company or in your families.”

Joseph Larson’s heart had hardened after the recent fight between the younger ones. He had already decided to let go of everything and live his remaining years in peace.

“Grandpa, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t go. We’ll represent you; it’ll be the same.” Eleanor Larson cut in.?‘This way, there’s nothing Yvette Larson can do even if she doesn’t welcome us.’

…

Toward the end of the meal, Francis Larson and Linda James fell silent. They were both in a panic because even they knew little about their daughter buying a house.

But now, the entire Larson family knew about the matter.

It would be terrible if something went wrong and Quince Larson and the rest found fault with them.

How would the Old Master treat their family then?

As such, Francis Larson and Linda James couldn’t help but pester their daughter about the house the moment they returned home.

“Yvette, I didn’t manage to ask you this yesterday, but you must be honest with me. What’s going on with the house?”

Yvette Larson felt uneasy, not knowing what to say.?‘It’s obvious my parents won’t believe me if I say that I don’t know anything about it. But what kind of lie am I supposed to tell them?’

Just then, Finn Taylor said, “Mom, I bought the house.”
