Chapter 90: Divorce

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just then, someone pushed the room to the study open.

Kenneth Landon was taken aback, but he relaxed upon seeing that it was his wife entering the room.

She had made tea and was now bringing it over for her husband. She had never thought that she would scare him.

Kenneth Landon had just gotten to the most crucial part—he wanted to rope Finn Taylor in to defeat the Sanders family.

In the end, the door was suddenly pushed open just as he was about to expose this top secret. It would be stranger if he weren’t scared.

“What’s wrong?” Cassandra Campbell thought that it was strange that her husband was sweating as she entered. “Huh? What’s with you?”

“Nothing. Go out.”

Cassandra Campbell continued staring at her husband suspiciously after placing the teacups down. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t see anything wrong. Thus, she left the room.

“Let’s continue.” Kenneth Landon placed one of the teacups in front of Finn Taylor. Then, he picked his own cup up and blew on the tea. “This piece of pie that is the Sanders family is huge. I’d be lying if I said that I don’t want a bite of it, but I know very well that my teeth aren’t strong enough to handle it. That’s why I came up with this plan—to find someone to help me bite a chunk of that pie off. That person will naturally take their own share of the pie then. What’s left might not be appetizing to them, and they won’t eat it. But what’s left will definitely be good enough for me.”

Finn Taylor sipped on his tea while listening to Kenneth Landon’s proposal. From time to time, he nodded, but that wasn’t because he agreed with whatever the other was saying. Rather, he was merely signaling that he was listening to the other.

“I approached the Kennedy family of Washington, and they’re willing to share a piece of that pie with me.”

Although Finn Taylor appeared surprised by the mention of that family, he wasn’t shaken in the slightest bit in reality.

What Kenneth Landon didn’t know was that Finn Taylor had arranged for the chance encounter between him and Zachary Kennedy.

Finn Taylor had already exerted his influence on this city a long time ago with his power.

“What do you need me to do?” asked Finn Taylor all of a sudden.

“Protect my family.” Kenneth Landon continued, “The Sanders family is really petty and will definitely take revenge on us if we do anything to them. I’m afraid that they’ll harm Clarine or Cassandra. I’m begging you—please protect them.”

Finn Taylor breathed out and took a sip of his tea. “You don’t have to worry about Clarine’s safety. As for Cassandra Campbell…”

His gaze was cold. “I need an apology.”

‘Apology?’?Kenneth Landon understood why. In addition to the incident earlier, Cassandra Campbell had also humiliated Finn Taylor at his daughter’s party. But now, he was asking Finn Taylor to protect his wife.

It would indeed be quite ridiculous to expect Finn Taylor to help Cassandra Campbell before she apologized.

Kenneth Landon pushed the door open. “Cassandra, come over for a second.”

She walked over. “What’s the matter?”

“Cassandra, you’ve been treating Finn Taylor very rudely. You owe him an apology.”

Cassandra Campbell couldn’t help but feel that her ears were playing tricks on her.?‘How can this be? How could Kenneth Landon make me apologize to Finn Taylor? Who is he? He’s nothing but a good-for-nothing matrilocal son-in-law—a joke in San Francisco! What will become of me after I apologize to him?’

“Kenneth, have you gone mad?”

Kenneth Landon didn’t know how to explain himself to his wife.

The fight against the Sanders family was too risky. Naturally, it would be best for as few people to know of this as possible.

As such, Kenneth Landon wasn’t prepared to let his spouse in on this secret. Yet, it didn’t seem likely that he would be able to convince her to apologize to Finn Taylor without telling her about it.

“Cassandra, I’m not joking around. You’d better apologize to Finn Taylor right away. The Larson family has always been friends with us, and Yvette has always been best friends with our daughter. You really were too rude to him.”

Kenneth Landon tried to convince his wife with such words. Obviously, they weren’t effective the slightest bit.

“Kenneth, I think you’ve really gone mad. How could you ask me to apologize to a piece of trash? You might as well kill me! I’m not going to be humiliated like that!” Cassandra Campbell huffed arrogantly.?‘I’m never going to accede to that request.’

“It seems like there’s no point in me staying then.” With that, Finn Taylor stood up to leave.

Of course, Kenneth Landon wouldn’t let him leave just like that. He landed a slap directly on his spouse’s face. “B*tch! Do my words mean nothing to you now? Apologize right now!”

Cassandra Campbell rarely saw her husband flare up. Moreover, this was the first time he had ever hit her.?‘I don’t understand. Isn’t he just a useless matrilocal son-in-law? Why does Kenneth Landon care so much about his feelings?’

But Cassandra Campbell was terrified; she was truly frantic.

Finally, she chose to compromise. “Finn Taylor, I… I’ll apologize to you. I’m sorry.”

Cassandra Campbell’s previous words about her rather being killed than apologizing still rang in their ears. But in the next second, she apologized.

However, Finn Taylor didn’t seem to have any intention of letting her off. “Kenneth Landon, I think you’re mistaken. I meant apologizing to Yvette Larson. Don’t you think that Cassandra Campbell went overboard with her words to my wife?

Kenneth Landon was stunned. He had never thought that Finn Taylor wasn’t requesting an apology for himself.?‘But thinking about it, it makes sense. Finn Taylor always puts his wife first in any event. It seems like I really misunderstood him.’

“Cassandra, let’s go look for Yvette.”

“Are you kidding, Kenneth? Do you want me to apologize to Yvette too?” Cassandra Campbell felt as though she was getting humiliated.?‘Is apologizing once not enough? How can he make me apologize a second time? Does that mean I’ll have to apologize to 100 other people as long as Finn Taylor wants me to?’

“I’m not going.” No matter what he said this time, Cassandra Campbell wasn’t going to budge.

Finn Taylor sneered and walked out of the house.

Seeing that he was leaving, Kenneth Landon panicked.?‘Whether the Landon family will be able to turn the tables and conquer all the large corporations in San Francisco depends on this alone. There’s no way I’m going to let such a big fish escape just like that.’

“Cassandra Campbell, if you don’t go out now, I’ll get a divorce!”

‘A divorce! Kenneth has never even mentioned that once in our decades of marriage, but he spoke about it today. Just because of that piece of trash, Kenneth mentioned a divorce to me!’?Cassandra Campbell was utterly disappointed, and she gritted her teeth while saying, “Fine. Let’s get a divorce!”
