“That’s alright; don’t care about him. He can call for a family meeting for all he wants. We don’t have to care about him.” Finn Taylor merely chuckled in response. ‘Quince Larson is just putting on his own show. Without the approval of the previous family head, it means nothing even if Quince Larson were given the position.’

“Oh right, how did it go at Mercy Orphanage today?” Yvette Larson was curious as to how things had gone with her husband and Mercy Orphanage.

“Well, it’s not much of a problem. They just don’t have enough funds. I asked the director what she was planning to do, and she said that she would ask some large corporations for sponsorship. However, I proposed something else.”

“The problem with these corporations is that they’ll always find ways to cut their costs whenever they run into financial difficulties. When that time comes, they’ll definitely cut their funding to Mercy Orphanage first. Hence, I proposed that the orphanage organize a performance group that will attend charitable events led by these large organizations. It’ll be a win-win situation when both parties get a share of the profit.”

Yvette Larson couldn’t help but look at her husband in awe.

She’d probably have thought of using the same method as the director. After all, it was what all orphanages had been doing for years.

Yet, Finn Taylor had chosen to go against the norm.

Taking money from those businessmen was no different from begging for money. Although they had never explicitly said so, Finn Taylor knew that these businessmen looked down on these orphanages.

But with his proposition, they’d be equals. The orphanages weren’t just asking for money but a collaboration. The corporations would provide the venues, while the orphanages would provide the performers. They would then receive revenue from the sales of the tickets.

“Given the Mercy Orphanage’s reputation, I don’t think that many would pay to watch a performance.”

“That’s why we’ll have to sponsor the first few shows.”

Yvette Larson didn’t have any objections to that. “Alright.”

“We also have to take the lead and try to influence the other corporations into joining us in this project.”

“Oh, don’t we have to have a chat with hundreds of entrepreneurs? Will they agree to it?”

“That won’t be necessary. Besides, it’ll take too much time. Those people might even try to get some benefits out of it.”

“What are you going to do then?”

“Work with the Gold family to establish a charity organization. Let’s see if other families will be raring to join the top two families in San Francisco.”

Yvette Larson was once again astounded by her husband’s ideas, and she couldn’t help but wonder what kind of background Finn Taylor had.

She had first met his family at Number One Pacific Heights last time. Whether it was his mother, grandma, or younger brother, they all gave off a mysterious air.

Following that, Yvette Larson realized that renowned businessmen like Hunter Sullivan, Logan Yeats, Alexander Scott, and Zachary Kennedy were all her spouse’s friends. In fact, they acted as though Finn Taylor was their boss.

No matter what happened or where they were, Finn Taylor always seemed to be able to find a way to resolve it.

There was no way Yvette Larson would believe that he was only an ordinary person. She was curious as to what kind of family and background her husband truly had to have grown into such an outstanding man, yet it didn’t feel right for her to ask him about it since he hadn’t brought up the topic.

“I’m going to the Gold family’s residence,” Finn Taylor said before leaving.

Yvette Larson wasn’t worried about the Gold family.

Everyone could tell that Kimberly Gold liked Finn Taylor, but she was simply too young. Perhaps the latter would treat her as a younger sister, but there was no way he’d ever see her as a lover.

This was why Yvette Larson wasn’t worried at all.

When Finn Taylor arrived at the Gold family’s residence, Third Master Gold and Carl Gillies were in the middle of a chess game. They acted as though they were facing an enemy when they spotted Finn Taylor.

“Oh, Finn Taylor. You’re here.” Third Master Gold was now terrified because of how Finn Taylor had warned him after he had tried to make use of the latter previously. He was worried that Finn Taylor would blame him for that.

“Why are you so frightened? Where’s Kimberly? Call her over.”

“I’ll get her.” Seeing that the other didn’t seem to take the matter to heart, Third Master Gold finally felt a little more assured. As such, he headed out to call his granddaughter.

“Has Megan Daimler returned?” Finn Taylor asked casually as he glanced at Carl Gillies.

The latter had never done anything to wrong Finn Taylor, so he didn’t feel uneasy interacting with him. “Do you not feel embarrassed talking about it? If not for you, she’d have returned a long time ago. Great, our chess association has to cater to a princess now.”

Finn Taylor frowned and turned to Carl Gillies. “Don’t smear my name. There’s nothing between Megan Daimler and me.”

“Of course, I know that. If I knew that there was something going on between you two, I’d have sent her straight to your home.”

Finn Taylor refused to take the blame. ‘I did nothing but play a few rounds of chess. It’s not like I approached Megan Daimler—she was the one who looked for me. What’s that got to do with me? All I can say is that I’m too charming.’

Right then, Kimberly Gold trotted over. She was overwhelmed with emotions and sped over the moment she saw Finn Taylor. “It’s been a while, Finn. Where have you been?”

Finn Taylor knew that the answer would be brutal to the young girl, but he was going to say it anyway. “To have a wedding photo shoot with Yvette.”

‘Humph!’ As expected, Kimberly Gold’s face darkened the moment she heard that.

“Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Finn Taylor’s words cheered Kimberly Gold up right away, and the frown on her face disappeared.

“Oh, alright!” Kimberly Gold then followed him out of the house.

Third Master Gold couldn’t help but sigh as he watched the pair walking off into the distance.

“Doesn’t your granddaughter like him? Shouldn’t you be happy that he’s taken the initiative to visit and take her out for a meal?” Carl Gillies added, even though he knew why Third Master Gold was sighing.

“Happy? Why should I be happy? The better Finn Taylor treats Kimberly, the more hope she’ll have. But we both know that it’s impossible given his status.”

Carl Gillies knew that too. Just like Third Master Gold, he was helpless.

“Sigh, we’re old now. Since I’ve already handed the family over to Kimberly, I’ll let her handle everything. It’s inevitable for her to run into some storms in life.. It’s just that this one is a little too brutal.”
