The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Panda Novel

Because their grandpa had personally called them, Finn Taylor’s family dared not refuse the invitation. As such, the family set off together after dressing up.

By the time they arrived at their grandpa’s residence, the rest of the family had arrived too.

To Finn Taylor’s surprise, the Old Master had even invited Hilary Stone too!

It wasn’t just Finn Taylor who was taken aback. Even the rest of the Larson family was shocked too.

“Come in, all of you.” In just a few days, Joseph Larson looked as though he had lost quite a lot of weight.

He addressed them and invited them in.

As they all entered, they saw the table filled with an assortment of dishes.

When they all took a closer look at these dishes, they were stunned. ‘Grandpa personally cooked all of these dishes!’

They all couldn’t help but wonder what he was up to.

“Today, I called you here to discuss my funeral plans.”

Joseph Larson’s sudden words stumped the entire Larson family. ‘Grandpa wants to discuss his funeral plans! What happened to him? Why has he suddenly lost all that weight? Could he be ill?’

“Grandpa, what’s wrong? Are you sick?”

“That’s right. Grandpa, you should let us know if you aren’t feeling well. Medical technology nowadays is very advanced. Don’t let your imagination run wild, Grandpa.”

Many of the Larson family’s younger generation tried to comfort Joseph Larson.

Just as Yvette Larson was about to do so, her husband stopped her. He shook his head, telling his wife to stay still.

Others might not have known what was happening to Joseph Larson, but Finn Taylor knew about it well: Joseph Larson wasn’t sick; he had been poisoned. It was poison!

Finn Taylor had found that out personally. He knew that Joseph Larson wouldn’t die for now.

“Come on. Sit down and have your meal. I’m not sick; you don’t have to worry. Recently, the Larson family has almost fallen out with each other because of the issue of succession. I’m afraid that the whole family will crumble once I die and that the Larson family will be no more.”

Now that their grandpa was saying such things, everyone rushed up and tried to reassure him that it would never happen.

“I don’t care what you guys think, but remember that you’re all Larsons. Tomorrow, I want you all to sign the agreement as an assurance that you won’t leave the Larson family after I die.”

Initially, the whole Larson family had assured their grandpa that his worries would never become reality. But now, not a single person dared to speak up.

“Francis Larson, you’re the eldest. You should go first.”

Francis Larson agreed and walked forward. But the moment he saw the agreement’s contents, his tears flowed down freely.

Everyone was curious as to what Francis Larson had seen that he had been so moved.

Francis Larson held up that paper, trembling slightly. “Mother.”

He forced those words out with a choked voice.

Frederick Larson and Franklin Larson rushed over. They picked up that piece of paper and were visibly overwhelmed with emotions too.

On that paper was a photo of Yvette Larson’s grandma.

“There’s a photo of your mother on the agreement. If you acknowledge her as your mom, sign it. Otherwise, you’re free to leave.” Joseph Larson spoke with full confidence. He didn’t even sound like someone who was ill.

“Dad, we were wrong. We’ll sign it; we’ll sign it right away.” In the presence of their mom, the three brothers were like children, no matter how old they were.

After signing their names, they quickly asked their children to sign it too.

Everyone’s gazes then landed on Hilary Stone and Quinn Larson.

“Hilary Stone, I’m willing to put the past behind us. If you’re still willing to be a daughter-in-law of the Larson family, sign this agreement with your son. If you don’t want to sign it, I can always give you a sum of money, and you can leave with Quinn.”

Hilary Stone didn’t say a thing and simply went up to put her signature on the document. Following that, Quinn Larson signed his name on the agreement too.

“Alright, I’ll hand this over to Finn Taylor for safekeeping.”

Joseph Larson’s words left everyone dumbfounded. ‘How could he pass such an important piece of paper to Finn Taylor, who he hates the most?’

“Finn Taylor, I’m handing this to you because I dislike you and hate you the most. Besides, I can tell you that I’m not the only one—the whole Larson family hates you. It’s because of this that I know you won’t lose this paper and will keep it well. If anyone in the Larson family dares to betray us, take this out and expose them. Alright, let’s get to the heart of the matter. From tomorrow onward, you’ll all work in the company. I’ll get someone to record just how much each of you earns for our company. Let’s see how much each of you can earn from today up until the day I die. The one who makes the greatest contribution will be the next Larson family head.”

Then, he even added, “There’s no difference between males or females.”

In an instant, the entire Larson family was stunned once again. ‘Grandpa has finally relented and is now willing to hand the family’s reins over to a female! But given the current situation, it does seem that Grandpa’s idea is the fairest solution.’

“How’s that? Does anyone have any objections to it? Otherwise, we’ll just proceed with that.”

After a few minutes of silence, the Larson family started whispering amongst themselves. It continued for over ten minutes before the room fell into silence again.

“Have you all thought it through? Does anyone have any objections?”

“Grandpa, I have a question. Do both my dad and my achievements count as mine?” It was Eleanor Larson who had asked that question.

That shocked everyone.

In their eyes, Eleanor Larson was only someone who followed Quince Larson everywhere. They hadn’t expected her to be interested in fighting for the position of family head.

“That’s right. I already made the rule more than a decade ago that my successor will be from the third generation. That will never change. Your entire family’s achievements will count as yours alone.”

“Alright, I have another question. If I get married, how will your grandson-in-law’s achievements be counted?”

“They’ll naturally be yours as well if your husband can bring our Larson Corporation to greater heights.”

Upon hearing Joseph Larson’s words, everyone’s gazes naturally fell on Yvette Larson. To be honest, this battle seemed like a battle between in-laws.

It was true that all four branches of the family were on similar ground in terms of resources, and the power that they held in the Larson Corporation was similar as well. But everything would change if they could find themselves a powerful spouse.

In that case, Yvette Larson would definitely be at a disadvantage. After all, she was already married, and she was married to the most useless matrilocal son-in-law—Finn Taylor.
