“Why don’t you help me analyze it? Do you think he’s still alive?” Gremlin thought that an outsider would have a more acute judgment, so he asked Hilary Stone for her opinion. He wanted to know if she thought that Brian Taylor was still alive. ‘The Taylor family is on the verge of crumbling, and his favorite grandson might even die in this fight. Yet, he’s never shown himself. He must be extremely cold-hearted to do that if he’s still alive. However, it’s impossible that he died just like that without anyone knowing. Someone must’ve found his body if he died. Even if nobody did, the Taylor family would definitely get some news of his death given how influential they are in the city. It’s illogical that we’ve not found a body or even heard any news about him.’

“I think he’s still alive. He’s definitely not dead.”

“Not dead?

Why? Why do you think he’s still alive?”

“It’s just my intuition.”

“What kind of answer is that? I’m asking you how you know that he’s not dead.”

“I told you it’s intuition. Ask any woman, and she’ll tell you that it’s her sixth sense. I just think that he’s still alive. You can choose to believe me or not. If you don’t believe me, then don’t ask me about it.”

Gremlin was stunned into silence. He knew he would never be able to get through to this woman. “Forget it. Let’s talk about how you intend to trap Linda James.”

“Well, that’s easy. Her downfall will be her greed. I just have to offer her a chance of getting rich. I’m sure she’ll grab the chance and come with me.”

“Leave with you? I think you’re overestimating yourself. Don’t forget that she has a grudge against you.”

“What kind of grudge does she have against me? I wasn’t the one who did those things to their family. It was the Larson brothers. I’ve left the family for more than a decade. What kind of grudge could she possibly hold against me? Besides, it’s always been the elder three families fighting for the family’s inheritance. When has my family ever stepped in? Never. I’ve never been after power or money. All I want is revenge.”

Of course, Hilary Stone’s words would fool nobody but herself. Didn’t she know best how she was a person?

“Have you thought about all the fuss you’ll cause by kidnapping Linda James?”

“Yes. I know that her daughter will immediately send people to look for her. When that time comes, I’ll just tell her that I have her mom.”

“Tell her? Are you courting death? Do you want Finn Taylor to kill you?”

“Kill me? If he does, his mother-in-law will be done for. How would he know where I’ve hidden his mother-in-law then? Do you think he’d dare to kill me? He can kill me if he dares to upset his wife. I don’t care.”

“You’re really underestimating Finn Taylor. If he really is like what you said, he wouldn’t have gotten to where he is today. He even killed his own grandma. Do you think he wouldn’t dare to kill you? Don’t think that his mother-in-law means a lot to him. Death means nothing to him.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s simple—he won’t let you control him, much less because of Linda James. He’ll kill you, but he won’t kill you with his own hands. He’ll get his men to kill you and push all responsibility to them. Then, he’ll kill that underling too. That way, he’ll be able to answer to his wife and get rid of his annoying mother-in-law at the same time. Don’t you think that’s the perfect solution?”

“Are you talking about yourself? I don’t think Finn Taylor is a person like that.”

“You don’t believe me? He’s been planning his life since he was six. Do you know how much blood he’s gotten on his hands to get to where he is today? Do you think that he’s ever taken an innocent life? Even if you think so, I don’t believe that he’s ever done it. People like you and me deserve to die, but he’ll never kill his mother-in-law. You’re just a woman. What do you know? A man like Finn Taylor is vicious beyond your imagination to have gotten to where he is.”

“You’re the vicious one, not Finn Taylor. Do you think he’s like you?”

“I’m vicious? If I was, he’d be dead.”

“No, you said earlier that you can’t kill Finn Taylor because he has his master backing him.”

“B*tch! Can you stop talking about his master? The mention of him annoys me.”

“I can’t stop you from getting angry.”

“Fine. If you really want to do it, I’ll support you. Go get his mother-in-law here. Let’s see if you succeed.”

“Hold on. Let’s discuss how we’re going to split the spoils.”

“That’s easy. Don’t you hate the Larson family? There won’t be anyone who can fight against you in the Larson family after Finn Taylor dies. The whole family will be yours.”

“Do you think I’m a three-year-old kid? There’s nobody who can compare to me in the Larson family apart from Finn Taylor, so it’s only natural that the Larson family will be mine. Do you think I’ll be able to kill Finn Taylor if even you can’t? Why would I want to get involved?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m not greedy. Let’s split the Taylor family’s assets 7:3. I’ll take 30%; you can have 70%.”

“What did you say? How’s that not being greedy? What does the Taylor family’s assets have anything to do with you?”

“Nothing. So why did you come looking for me? It’s not like I sought you out. I’ve already taken my revenge. Yvette Larson’s family is the only one left. I didn’t even intend on going against them. I just wanted to live a peaceful life. I could’ve waited for you to take care of them.. I could’ve just waited to reap the spoils without doing anything.”
