The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine-Chapter 323 - Messy Relationship

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Melinda Lowe, as well as all the other guests, looked down on Linda James. It wasn’t because they had any grudges against her but simply because she had once been the poorest amongst them.

But now, she was the richest. It was only natural for them to feel bitter about it.

But right then, Linda James showed up.

“Hey, she’s here.” They had just been discussing how the latter wouldn’t turn up, so her appearance was like a slap in their faces. It annoyed them deeply.

Then, they spotted Linda James’s outfit. Leaving aside the brand, it was clear from just one look that it was a quality item.

This made them even more sour.

Linda James had been observing their expressions as she walked over, and she could feel their bitterness. Instead of feeling angry, she was over the moon.

Just as the group of friends was about to explode, they spotted a young couple behind Linda James. They recognized the lady—she was Yvette Larson, Linda James’s daughter.

Seeing that she was holding that man’s hand, it was clear that the young man was Linda James’s useless son-in-law—Finn Taylor.

Who would’ve thought that the piece of trash would dare to show up for the wedding?

“Oh, Linda James. You must’ve come a long way from Number One Pacific Heights.”

Linda James pretended to glance at her watch. “Sigh. Finn, didn’t you say that it would only take ten minutes to come here in your Rolls-Royce? Why is it 11 o’clock already?”

‘Rolls-Royce?’?They had heard it clear as day. It was obvious that Linda James wasn’t chiding Finn Taylor but letting them all know that he had a Rolls-Royce.

They rolled their eyes, pretending not to have heard anything.

“Linda James, is this son-in-law—Finn Taylor?” Someone finally brought the topic back to Finn Taylor. However, they didn’t know that this was only the beginning. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

There was much more to come.

“Come over, Finn. Say hello to them.”

Finn Taylor politely walked over to greet the ladies. There was nothing he could say in rebuttal.

“The wedding is about to start, so please excuse me for a while. We’ve placed name cards at the seats, so please look for your seats.” Melinda Lowe then walked away, leaving the guests to look for their seats.

They all found their seats in no time, with the exception of Linda James.

The other ladies were seated close to the front, but even after walking around the venue, Linda James couldn’t find her seat.

Finn Taylor remained silent and headed straight for a table. There, he found a name card with his mother-in-law’s name, as well as his and his wife’s. “Here, Mom.”

Linda James nearly flared up when she saw where her son-in-law was standing.?‘Isn’t this the most isolated area in the whole venue? What does Melinda mean by this? How could she put me here? Doesn’t that mean she doesn’t treat me as her best friend?’

Finn Taylor had noticed this table as soon as he entered.

It was different from the others. More importantly, there were only three chairs at the table, unlike the others that had ten.

He had suspected that the table had been prepared for his family of three, and it indeed was.

Linda James glanced at her name card on the table, wanting to reason it out with her friend.

However, her daughter sat her back down. “I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. See, you’re being insulted now. What’s the point of trying to reason it out with them? What are you going to tell Auntie Melinda? That you’re not in a good seat? Then, she’ll just tell you that she’s treating you well by giving you a table for your family alone. Based on your personality, I’m sure you’ll ask her why she placed you in such a remote corner. However, she can say that there are only three of us at the table and that it wouldn’t look good if she placed us nearer to the center.”

“She could even say that it’s my first time here with Finn and that she’s protecting us by letting us sit alone. Have you thought about how you’ll answer those questions? They prepared this a long time ago, while you only found out about this today. Don’t you think that she would’ve thought all these questions through? You’ll become a joke if you go and make a fuss now. You were already laughed at during our wedding. Do you want the same to happen at someone else’s wedding?”

Yvette Larson made complete sense, and her mother had no way of rebutting her.

“Then, do we have to just take her insults?”

Yvette Larson glanced at her husband. “Have you forgotten who your son-in-law is?”

It was only then that Linda James remembered how impressive her son-in-law was. It was clear that those women looked down on the latter, but they never would’ve imagined that this man was the most powerful in the entire venue.

“Do you mean you can salvage the situation?”

“What situation? Do you want her son to get divorced or everyone here to die?”

Linda James was stunned. “Don’t scare me. I don’t want anyone dead. I just want to be respected.”

“That’s easy. Just wait and see then.”

The wedding started very soon.

The groom appeared very quickly and made his speech. Soon after, the bride made her appearance.

The couple then started expressing their affection for each other, but everyone knew they were just words.

The wedding was just a show for them, their parents, and their guests. Perhaps they were even tricking themselves at the same time.

Many thought that they would remain faithful to their partner for the rest of their lives, only to realize that there were many more who deserved their love.

The couple then exchanged rings before making a toast to their guests.

Finn Taylor observed everything coolly. This was what he was waiting for.

He wanted an explanation as to why they had sat the family here. If they were nice about it, he’d be nice to them too. Otherwise…

Finn Taylor picked up a wine glass and swirled the cheap wine around.. The wine was as murky as the couple’s relationship.
