Of course, Wendy Jensen would never forget what her son was referring to, much less Linda James and the rest. He was referring to that biased grandma of his—Frida Cameron.

She was a strong woman who wielded great power, yet she had died just like that in her grandson’s hands.

That image was still fresh in his mother’s mind.

Not daring to say a thing, Wendy Jensen quietly followed the young girl back to her room.

As for Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson, they returned to their own room.

The latter couldn’t wait to ask her husband, “Why is she here?”

“A family feud. She lost and had nowhere to go, so she followed me back.”

‘Family feud!’?Yvette Larson heard those words clearly.?‘How powerful do they have to be to force Wendy Jensen out of the family? It has been three years, but I’m just starting to get to know my husband’s family. Although I don’t know much about them, I’m learning more as time goes by.’?

“How long is she going to be here for?”

“I don’t know, but I’m sure she’ll find a way to return to Chicago. We don’t have to care about her.” Given his understanding of his mother, she wouldn’t give up just like that. If possible, she’d definitely try to return to the Taylor family.

“Oh right, you said that your best friend is missing. What’s going on?”

“Willow called Clarine, and they went out together. Ever since then, Clarine has been missing.”

‘Willow Stone.’?A sharp gaze flashed past Finn Taylor’s eyes. “Willow Stone…”

“I’m not that weak. Since she’s already done all that, I know that we can’t be best friends. You can just say whatever you have to say.”

“It’s nothing much. It’s just that all of her information is fake.”

“All her information?”

“That’s right. She told you that her parents were farmers who had the chance to come to America, right? All that is fake!”

Although she had already expected it, Yvette Larson couldn’t help but be stunned when her husband exposed the truth. “So our years of friendship have been a lie.”

Finn Taylor remained silent, not wanting to make any further comments. “Don’t worry. I’ll find Clarine.”

“Oh right, the Larson family held their family meeting. I humiliated all of them, so much so that they couldn’t go on with the meeting. However…”

“What?” Seeing how his wife was stuttering, Finn Taylor knew that something was wrong.

“As I was leaving, Vincent Smith arrived and tried to kidnap me. Thankfully, Hunter Sullivan saved me. You better not hold him accountable.”

“Why would I? He saved you.”

…

The next day.

Hunter Sullivan’s residence. All four guardians were present.

Finn Taylor turned to the owner of the house. “Have you caught them?”

“Not yet, but we have them under close surveillance.”

Finn Taylor didn’t even need to specify whom he was talking about, but the other could already guess.?‘Those people are really courting death by messing with Yvette Larson.’

“Go ahead.”

“Alright.”

Finn Taylor then turned to Horned Serpent. “Clarine Landon is missing. Can you find her?”

“I’ve been trying for a few days, but it’s to no avail.”

On the very day that her best friend went missing, Yvette Larson had already approached Hunter Sullivan. At that time, Horned Serpent had exhausted all means to find that girl. Unfortunately, they had all been futile.

He hadn’t even gained any leads over the past few days. It seemed like the culprit was far more powerful than they’d expected.

“Oh right, what has that person been up to lately?”

“He’s missing too.”

They all knew who their boss was talking about—Mossback. He was a mysterious person who had turned up out of the blue.

Finn Taylor had always had an ominous feeling about him and had kept his guard up. “Do you think he has anything to do with Clarine Landon’s disappearance?”

“No.” Horned Serpent rejected that thought right away.

“How are you so sure?”

“He left San Francisco a long time ago. When he left, Clarine Landon was still in the city, and Willow Stone wasn’t even here yet.”

Finn Taylor nodded.?‘It seems like there really is no connection between their disappearances, but why is Clarine Landon missing? Did she really go to look for Willow Stone? However, there’s no point in me confronting her without any evidence.’

“Master Peregrine, we do have a solution, but I don’t know if it’ll work.”

“What is it?”

“Use the Master Peregrine Order. As long as she’s still in the country, we’ll definitely be able to find her.”

The Master Peregrine Order wasn’t something that could be used so frivolously—it would throw the entire country into chaos. If he were to use it for Clarine Landon, he would only be exposing her to the public, and her name would be known throughout the country’s business circles.

Would that be beneficial to her?

“Let me think about it.”

They all knew that Peregrine Hall wasn’t just child’s play, so they dared not say more.

…

When he returned home, Finn Taylor spotted yet another person at home—Megan Daimler.

“Why are you here?”

The young girl’s face was flushed, but she didn’t say a word.

Finn Taylor could feel that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put a finger on it.

“I was the one who called her here. What’s wrong?” It was Wendy Jensen.

‘If I’m not wrong, my mother had only met the young girl for the first time yesterday. Besides, they hadn’t even said much to each other at the dinner table. Yet, my mother invited her to our house just a day later!’

“Do you guys know each other very well?”

“I’m from Chicago and don’t know this place well. I heard that Megan has been here in San Francisco for some time, so I got her to accompany me here.”

Finn Taylor chuckled.?‘Does my mother really think I’d buy that lie? Just as I expected, Wendy Jensen isn’t going to take this situation lying down. It has only been a day, and she’s already trying to stir up trouble.’?

“Do you think that’s appropriate?” Finn Taylor answered his mother’s question with his own.

“What’s wrong? I’m here alone, and I’m unfamiliar with this place. I think it’d be good to have someone I know with me.”

“So you want her to stay here in our house?”

“Why not? Don’t you have a lot of empty rooms here? If you don’t want to spare her a room, I’ll let her bunk with me.” ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

Finn Taylor was utterly dumbfounded by his mother’s suggestion.?‘This is my house—the house I share with my wife. It’s inconvenient enough to share it with our parents, but now, she’s asking me to let a stranger in! Does this seem right?’

“What, I’m your mom. I’ve never crossed the line, and I’m just bringing a friend home. Is that wrong?”

“T-that… That’s not what Finn means. We’ll go tidy up the room now..” Yvette Larson was so frightened she quickly stepped forward.
