The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Panda Novel

At table number 11.

The Larson family nearly jumped out of their seats; they were truly shell-shocked. ‘Apart from his granddaughter, there is someone else next to Third Master Gold—Finn Taylor!’

‘This… How is that possible?’

The one who felt the worst was definitely Quince Larson.

He had made a bet with Finn Taylor. If Finn Taylor showed up at this ceremony, he would have to kneel before Finn Taylor.

It was obvious that he had lost, but Quince Larson couldn’t wrap his head around the situation. ‘What’s going on?’

Under everyone’s watchful gazes, Third Master Gold, Finn Taylor, and Kimberly Gold took their seats at the host’s table.

This sight stunned the Larson family even more. ‘Perhaps Finn Taylor struck the lottery and managed to attend this ceremony. Perhaps he is even here to serve Third Master Gold as a servant. All this was plausible, but it’s impossible for him to have any right to sit at the host’s table!’

“Who is that young man?” As expected, many guests started discussing Finn Taylor’s identity right as he took his seat.

“You’re all blind. The other person standing by Third Master Gold’s side is his granddaughter, so who do you think that man is?”

“Do you mean that he’s Third Master Gold’s grandson-in-law?”

“I’m afraid so.”

“No wonder. That man looks presentable and smart; he’s so suave.”

The Larson family heard all those praises of Finn Taylor. “Tch, presentable? He’s clearly ugly as hell.”

“That’s right! Smart? He’s nothing but a useless matrilocal son-in-law.”

“That person must be stupid. Suave? He’s probably never seen Finn Taylor cooking and cleaning.” Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson continuously put Finn Taylor down to calm themselves.

But just then, Joseph Larson seemed to have realized something. “Yvette, what’s with Finn Taylor? How does he know Third Master Gold? You seem to have gotten into a conflict with him lately.”

Hearing all the other guests praising Finn Taylor and Kimberly Gold as a perfect couple made Yvette Larson feel all sorts of discomfort all over.

She didn’t want to answer her grandpa’s question. “Grandpa, wasn’t this what you guys wanted to see?”

Joseph Larson was thrown off-guard. ‘It’s true that the whole Larson family looks down on Finn Taylor. If not for the late Old Master’s arrangement, we would’ve chased him out of the family a long time ago. But now, Finn Taylor is standing right next to Third Master Gold! The Larson family can’t afford to ignore or look down on him anymore.’

Just then, Kimberly Gold picked up a glass of wine and headed toward the Larson family.

Of course, her actions drew everyone’s attention.

They clearly saw Kimberly Gold stopping at table number 11.

Very quickly, everyone started asking each other who the guests seated there were. However, it seemed like nobody knew them.

It was only when they asked a family which was straddled between the top-tier and second-tier in San Francisco did they learn that it was just a second-tier family in San Francisco—the Larson family.

But none of them dared to underestimate the Larson family either. After all, they had received an invitation from the Gold family.

If the Gold family gave them a boost, they could very well become the top family in the whole of San Francisco.

“Which of you is Quince Larson? Come with me.”

In an instant, everyone present heard Quince Larson’s name. ‘Who’s Quince Larson? Why does he have the honor of being called?’

However, the answer they got was: He is the Larson family’s eldest grandson but is a good-for-nothing. He had never really done anything for the Larson Corporation, yet he had stirred up a whole lot of trouble in San Francisco.

The guests couldn’t help but stare at Quince Larson in disdain.

Of course, Quince Larson knew exactly why Kimberly Gold was calling for him.

His gaze was filled with agony, but what could he do? He had no choice but to follow Kimberly Gold to the host’s table.

“Please remain silent, everyone.” Kimberly Gold clapped, and the whole hall fell into pin-drop silence.

This was what the Gold family’s young lady was capable of.

“Today, we have guests from San Francisco and Chicago attending our grand opening today. Thank you. Today, we have prepared a performance.”

As soon as they heard that, the guests all turned their eyes to the host’s table. There weren’t any celebrities there. ‘Is Kimberly Gold going to perform?’

Although everyone there was older than her, they weren’t worthy of being her audience.

“Ms. Gold, you’re being too kind. We’re here to sincerely congratulate the Gold Corporation.”

“Yes, we’re just some old fogies. It’s no trouble at all.”

“Ms. Gold, are you going to perform for us? We can’t let you do that.”

“That’s right, Ms. Gold. Why don’t I perform a song for everyone instead?”

“No, I’ll let my daughter dance for everyone.”

“My son knows magic tricks.” In an instant, all the guests were trying to show off their talents. They simply wanted to use this opportunity to get in Third Master Gold’s good books.

If they caught his eye, it could very well become their family’s golden ticket.

Kimberly Gold shook her head. “Thank you all for your kind intentions, but I’m not the one performing. We’ve already taken care of that.”

As she said so, she looked toward Quince Larson. “Do you remember your bet? Are you going to go back on your word in front of everyone?”

Breaking a deal with Finn Taylor didn’t mean much since he was just a good-for-nothing matrilocal son-in-law. However, it was a big deal doing so at Third Master Gold’s party.

If he were to do so, Third Master Gold could very well kick him out of the business circle in San Francisco.

In the end, Quince Larson had no choice but to give in. He slowly bent his knees and dropped down onto the ground.

There were many guests who had whipped out their phones to film this scene.

Quince Larson only felt utter humiliation at this point in time.

Even Joseph Larson’s expression looked awful. He had thought that the Larson family was now a top-tier family in San Francisco because they had received an invitation from the Gold family. That also meant that the Larson family’s status and power would only rise after this banquet.

But the Larson family had now become a joke in the entire San Francisco because of a bet between Finn Taylor and Quince Larson.

This photo had completely ruined the Larson family’s reputation. There was no way of ever coming back from this.

‘It’s all Finn Taylor’s fault. If he hadn’t said it, Kimberly Gold never would’ve known about the bet.’ Joseph Larson clenched his fists and gave orders to Yvette Larson. “After this banquet, bring Finn Taylor to the Larson family’s residence. I want him to kneel down and apologize to us.”
