The next day.

The press conference officially began.

Those who wanted to suck up to the Taylor siblings naturally made their way to the venue bright and early. Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain.

Given the siblings’ personalities, there was no way they would arrive so early. It was good enough that they showed up on time, let alone be early.

Finn Taylor had learned that as a child too. Apparently, it was better to turn up late for parties like this.

Firstly, it would show that they were busy.

Secondly, it was to establish one’s status—after all, the party wouldn’t start without them.

Finn Taylor felt that it was ridiculous. Nonetheless, he was sure that his relatives would follow those principles.

On the other hand, Linda James was rushing the family out of the house way ahead of time. Even though it was her first time attending an event like this, she pretended as though she knew exactly what she was doing after arriving.

She even reminded her son-in-law, “Finn, you shouldn’t even have gotten the chance to be here. It’s probably because our whole family is here that they sent you an invitation by accident too. Remember to keep quiet later and not draw any attention to yourself.”

‘How ridiculous. They’re organizing this party for me, yet my mother-in-law is saying such things?’

Time ticked by.

Finally, it was time for the party to start. However, neither Melanie Taylor nor Levi Taylor had arrived.

‘I knew they weren’t going to be on time.’

“Huh? Why isn’t Ms. Taylor here yet?”

“That’s right. Mr. Taylor isn’t here either.”

“Do you think they got into an accident?”

“I think they’re just very busy, so every second counts.”

Finn Taylor couldn’t help but sneer. ‘It’s clearly rude to be late, but they’re being forgiven just because they’re affluent. And it’s even logical and alright for them to be late? Sigh, some people really deserve a beating.’

An hour later, a Rolls-Royce finally stopped in front of the hotel.

The Taylor siblings got out of the car, looking like a perfect match as they walked toward the ballroom.

“Mr. Taylor, Ms. Taylor, you guys are finally here. I was so worried about you earlier.”

“Me too. I was worried that we were bothering you guys.”

The siblings were already used to such flattery, and they simply nodded without replying. However, that simple nod was enough for the crowd.

The pair walked onto the stage. “Hello, everyone. We got a little caught up with something. Please have your fill tonight.”

With that said, the siblings left the party.

Finn Taylor had guessed that this would happen too.

This was commonly done in high society. They thought that it would create a sense of guilt in the attendees for wasting their time.

Finn Taylor had to admit that these people were right—that was exactly what he was hearing from the people around him.

“Yvette. Yvette, take a look at this wine. Isn’t it that Romanée-Conti?” Francis Larson was emotional as he tugged on his daughter’s arm and asked her to pour him a glass.

“Romanée-Conti?” Finn Taylor turned around to glance at the wine. “Dad, do you like it?”

“Yes, but I’ve never tried it.”

Finn Taylor walked over and brought the whole bottle of wine over.

This naturally drew ire from many around him.

Everyone here paid close attention to their own appearances. No matter how much they liked something, they would try to maintain their elegance and dignity.

Finn Taylor’s actions were the exact opposite of that.

“Finn, why did you bring the whole bottle over?”

“You said that you liked it. You can tell me what you like; I’ll bring it over for you.”

His father-in-law was about to say something, but the temptation was too great to resist. He couldn’t say a thing after his son-in-law popped the wine’s cork.

But Linda James was different, and she pointed at the latter. “Who allowed you to bring this over? You’re going to kill all of us.”

Afraid that her mom would say something nasty, Yvette Larson quickly tried to mediate between them. “Alright, he’s already done it. There’s no point in saying anything now.”

Linda James harrumphed. “Fine. I won’t say anything here, but just wait and see how I’ll deal with you once we get home.”

Right then, the Taylor siblings returned.

The siblings quickly became the center of attention as they cut through the crowd and stopped in front of Finn Taylor.

Melanie Taylor took out a document. “Sign this, and I’ll give you ten billion.”

Melanie Taylor’s words caused pin-drop silence in the ballroom.

Everyone’s hearts thumped rapidly. ‘What’s going on?Who is he? What is Melanie Taylor trying to get him to sign? Besides, what could possibly be worth ten billion dollars? It’s ten billion dollars, not ten dollars! What could cost such an astronomical sum?’

It wasn’t just the others who were dumbfounded—even Yvette Larson, Francis Larson, and Linda James were as well.

Finn Taylor picked up the document and scanned it before smirking. “Did you think that I would sign this?”

The document recorded all the shameless things Emmanuel Taylor had done, causing Eugene Taylor to lose out on the family head position. Now, Finn Taylor was going to hand over the position of family head to the latter’s descendant—Levi Taylor.

“I believe you’ll sign it because you don’t have a choice. You’ve already seen how much money we’ve gotten. Your company is on the verge of bankruptcy. I could acquire all the companies represented here if I wanted to.”

“Oh, is that so? Why don’t you acquire mine then?” Finn Taylor then ripped the document into shreds.

“Timothy Taylor, are you courting death, or do you want the entire Taylor family to break apart?”

“Break apart? Which Taylor family are you referring to?” Finn Taylor flung the shreds into the air before turning away.

“Beat him up.”
