Chapter 269: Something’s Amiss

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Without any help from her husband, Yvette Larson chased her cousins away.

Finn Taylor couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw his wife huffing. “Why did you get upset with them?”

“It’s annoying that they came to poke fun at us. They didn’t even have anything nice to say.”

“Hahaha!”

“What are you laughing at?”

“At the two of them. They’re really something to have upset our Yvette into saying such things.”

It was only then that Yvette Larson returned to her senses and realized that she had ruined her image. “Don’t laugh. It’s all your fault—ah!”

As expected, Finn Taylor was whipped for his wife and immediately shut up.

Just then, two other people arrived at the hospital—Clarine Landon and Willow Stone.

It wasn’t strange that the two best friends had learned of this. Along the way back, Yvette Larson had made a call to them out of fright.

A trace of coldness flashed past Finn Taylor’s gaze as he glanced at the pair—especially Willow Stone. However, he didn’t let that show.

“You’re not dead, are you?” Clarine Landon laughed as she looked at Finn Taylor.

“You’re the one who should be dead!”

Clarine Landon’s words weren’t very different from Quince Larson’s, but her intentions were different. The latter had come only to make a joke of him, but Clarine Landon was different. She had a close relationship with Finn Taylor.

She was actually worried about the latter and was merely cracking a joke.

Willow Stone, on the other hand, stood by the side and remained silent. Only when everyone had almost finished chatting did she suddenly speak up. “Yvette, is Finn Taylor going to be hospitalized for a while?”

“Yes, for about a month.”

“Do you need to get him some necessities then?”

Yvette Larson gave it some thought and eventually headed out after giving her husband some instructions.

Willow Stone pointed outside and said to Clarine Landon, “Leave this to me. You can go help Yvette. She’ll probably have to buy quite a lot of things.”

Without giving it much thought, Clarine Landon quickly ran out.

Just like that, Finn Taylor and Willow Stone were the only ones left in the ward.

“What do you want?” Finn Taylor knew that the other had deliberately distracted her two best friends.?‘What is this woman up to? I’ve already gotten Zachary Kennedy to investigate her, but we didn’t get anything out of it. Her background is too clean—so much so that it’s unbelievable. Her grades have always been good although she never topped her class, yet she has never committed an error ever since the day she entered elementary school. Her life is like a sheet of paper that’s filled with words and doesn’t have a single error. This is impossible! Everyone has to have made mistakes in their lives at some point in time.’?

Finn Taylor refused to believe that this was true. Someone had to have manipulated these results!

Willow Stone removed her jacket and sat herself on Finn Taylor’s bed, going so far as to lean against the head of the bed and lie right next to Finn Taylor. “Is Yvette Larson really that pretty? I’m pretty too.”

“What are you trying to do? Don’t you know that I’m your best friend’s husband?” Previously, Finn Taylor had thought that Willow Stone was simply testing his loyalty on his wife’s behalf. But later on, he realized that this wasn’t the case.

She had her own goals.

“Does that mean that you wouldn’t care so much if I wasn’t her best friend?”

Finn Taylor was stunned by her words, and he shoved her off the bed. “Willow Stone, you disgust me.”

Willow Stone smirked as she put on her clothes. Glaring at Finn Taylor, she said, “Finn Taylor, I disgust you? You’ll pay for what you said today, but you won’t be the one paying. I’ll make Yvette Larson pay.”

With that, Willow Stone left.

Not long after that, Yvette Larson and Clarine Landon returned.

“Hey, where’s Willow?” Yvette Larson asked, not seeing the other in the room.

“Oh, she has something to attend to, so she left.” Willow Stone’s tone infuriated Finn Taylor.?‘My wife is my weak spot. I’d never let anyone bully her. Willow Stone has crossed a boundary, but I can’t afford to let Yvette know of my plans as of yet. If I can deal with this matter well without her knowledge, she might not get so upset.’?

…

San Francisco, Hunter Sullivan’s house.

All four guardians were present, and their eyes were all on Zachary Kennedy. The question in everyone’s mind was:?‘Who is he?’

The skills he’d displayed earlier on shocked them. None of them had even known that Zachary Kennedy was trained in martial arts before today.

Why had he kept that a secret?

“There are some things I don’t want to talk about, and I’m not going to use my martial arts skills again from now on. I was merely putting an end to a mistake I made 40 years ago.” Zachary Kennedy naturally didn’t want to tell the others about how Helen was his weak spot.

Seeing that he wasn’t willing to let them in on more, Logan Yeats waved the others off. The latter then turned to Hunter Sullivan. “Hunter, were you the one who found Jamie Little?”

“That’s right.”

“Yvette Larson said that it was because of Jamie Little answering the call that they were found. Can we really trust her?”

Finn Taylor was currently hospitalized, so there was no need for them to trouble him with such trivial matters.

“I think we can trust her. If she really betrayed Yvette Larson, there would’ve been no need for her to call us,” Alexander Scott analyzed.

“That’s true. If she were a traitor, she never would’ve made the call.”

Eventually, the four guardians came to a unanimous decision—to trust Jamie Little. However, they had to investigate that call.

Who had called them? Was it Terry Money? If so, what was the relationship between Jamie Little and Terry Money? Did they have each other’s numbers?

This would be left to Zachary Kennedy. After all, he was the best amongst them when it came to such things.

“Oh right, there’s something else I want to talk about.” Logan Yeats took out a photo. “Willow Stone. Master Peregrine asked us to investigate this woman. The first time around, we didn’t go in-depth and only found out that her parents were farmers and that she was Yvette Larson’s college roommate. The second time around, the results seemed much more suspicious. Her grades were always good although she never topped her class. She’s never made a single mistake in her life, and we couldn’t find any records about her hometown. At least, we weren’t able to find her childhood home.. We also couldn’t get any records about her childhood friends, classmates, or teachers. Something is amiss!”
