The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

When Finn Taylor arrived at the White family’s residence, Connor White was sipping on tea in the living room and didn’t even know about the former’s arrival. Thus, he got a huge shock when the former appeared in front of him.

“T-Timothy Taylor… You’re back?” Connor White’s hands trembled as he asked.

“What, you look quite frightened to see me.”

That was true because he had been Donovan Taylor’s underling, not his brother’s. It was Donovan Taylor who had put him by his brother’s side, and the latter had found out about it. After that, Timothy Taylor had even broken his leg.

Even now, he still limped when he walked.

However, what surprised Connor White was that Timothy Taylor had not only kept him alive but had also taken him in as his own underling.

Just like that, Connor White became one of Timothy Taylor’s men.

The former had tried his best, but Timothy Taylor chased him away just as he was about to become the latter’s right-hand man.

Then, Felicity appeared.

The woman took over the businesses in just one day and learned the ropes in three days. Within a week, she managed to win over all those who had been disgruntled at the sudden takeover.

Just like that, Connor White became an utter joke.

It was a huge blow to him. Although he had indeed been a traitor to Timothy Taylor before, he had changed and had become truly loyal to the latter. Yet, his boss still chose not to believe in him.

With that, Connor White started lazing around at home, and more than a decade passed just like that.

Just as he was getting used to his lifestyle, Timothy Taylor once again appeared in front of him.

‘What are you trying to do?’ Connor White was itching to ask the other that, but he didn’t dare to. He didn’t have the guts to do so and could only pour Finn Taylor a cup of tea.

Timothy Taylor took the cup from him and poured it on the ground. “Felicity is dead.”

Those three words stunned Connor White. ‘Felicity is dead! Such a powerful woman is dead!’ 

“I need someone to manage the businesses in Chicago and suppress all those disgruntled men,” Finn Taylor continued.

The other man finally understood Finn Taylor’s intentions. “What will happen if I don’t go?”

“You’re either with me or not.” Master Peregrine raised his head to look at Connor White. “Take your pick.”

Connor White’s heart thumped rapidly against his chest. ‘It’s obvious that he’s trying to warn me, but I can’t just give him a flippant answer.’ 

He gave it deep thought. ‘Will I be able to win against Timothy Taylor if I refuse him? That’s impossible. I met him for the first time when he was only six, and he managed to subdue me at the age of eight. I was already over 30 years old at that time and was played by a child. He has grown up now, and I’ve grown old. There’s no chance of me winning.’

After pondering it, Connor White finally nodded. “Fine, I’ll do it.”

Finn Taylor poured himself another cup of tea. “I heard that you don’t have any children.”

“I’m not even married. Of course, I don’t have any children.”

Connor White had been sent to stay by Timothy Taylor’s side and had chosen not to get a girlfriend for fear of implicating an innocent lady. After he was kicked out of the organization, he had been in no mood to find a girlfriend.

“But I have a niece.”

“Niece?”

“Yes, her name is Snowy White. She’s a flight attendant. I’ll introduce you to her when I get the chance.” Connor White took out his phone as he said so.

Finn Taylor’s gaze quivered slightly when he saw the photo, but he didn’t say a word. “Do you hate me?”

“Of course. Why wouldn’t I?” Connor White understood the other—the latter hated when people put up a false front. It was always best to speak one’s mind in front of him.

“I had no other choice. You betrayed me.”

“So why are you asking me to help you now? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll betray you again?”

“No, I already have the whole Taylor family under my control, and I’m Master Peregrine. I don’t think you’d dare to betray me.”

Finn Taylor’s words stumped the man.

Connor White tried to find the right words to rebut the other but couldn’t. ‘That’s right. Finn Taylor was still weak at that time and worried about those who betrayed him. But now, nobody will dare to betray him given his identity and status.’ 

Finn Taylor then left the White family’s residence and Chicago to return to San Francisco.

He had only gone to Chicago to reestablish the Taylor family. Now that his work there was done, he had to return to San Francisco to get the Nile Street project settled.

He had a bold plan to purchase the entire neighborhood. ‘Doesn’t Melanie Taylor want it for herself? Great, I’ll find someone to sell it to her at ten times the market price and then find people to make this place worthless. Then, Melanie Taylor’s millions of dollars in investment will go to waste. When that time comes, I’ll obviously win.’

…

Linda James had found Melanie Taylor, promising to provide the younger woman news on Finn Taylor. However, she wanted monetary rewards in return.

Of course, it would be good if she could collaborate with Mortal Corporation.

Unfortunately for her, Finn Taylor had changed all of his contact details. Hence, she had failed to contact him.

Getting clues on him seemed like an impossible task now.

Yvette Larson was now her only hope, so Linda James set out to look for her daughter. “Are you still upset, Yvette?”

The latter didn’t answer her.

It was only after her divorce that she realized just how much she loved Finn Taylor. He was now an integral part of her life, yet he left and disappeared entirely from her life.

“Call him if you miss him.”

“Call him? He’s changed his number.” Yvette Larson had already tried calling her ex-husband, but the call couldn’t get through.

“I’m sure you’ll find a way of getting in touch with him.” Linda James believed her daughter when the latter said that the man had changed his number. However, she refused to believe that her daughter would lose contact with Finn Taylor. ‘They must have another way of contacting each other.’

“Another way of contacting him?”

Suddenly, a string of numbers flashed through her mind.
