Hilary Stone was right. She had indeed gotten the revenge she wanted since she had almost destroyed the Larson family.

There was no need to interfere in the matter any longer.

Even if she stayed out of it, Gremlin would still deal with Yvette Larson’s family. If he succeeded, the Larson family would be done for anyway. Then, she wouldn’t even need to lift a finger.

Since that was the case, why would she still butt in? It was obvious that she stood to gain even more from doing so—the Taylor family.

“You’re too greedy. Let’s do a 9:1 split. You’ll get 10%.”

“You’re so childish—even more so than Finn Taylor. No wonder you couldn’t deal with him alone and need my help now. If you don’t need my help, say so. I’ll leave; there’s no need for me to waste my time here with you. If you need my help, we’ll do a 7:3 split. Not a single cent less.”

“That’s impossible. Don’t even dream about it.”

“Forget it then; I’m leaving. There’s no need to discuss this any further.” With that, Hilary Stone stood up and left. She didn’t even hesitate for a moment.

“Hold on. Fine, 30% it is. You’re such a terrifying woman. They say that women are the most brutal, and they’re right.”

“You better remember what you said today. Be careful that I’ll rip you to shreds if you go back on your word.”

Gremlin was indeed worried. After all, the woman in front of him had managed to destroy an entire family.

“Oh right, I better remind you that there’s a very unremarkable person in Yvette Larson’s family that you should watch out for.”

“Who’s that?”

“Francis Larson.”

“Him? Why would I need to be careful of him? I’ve heard the rumors. Although he’s not a matrilocal son-in-law, he’s a piece of trash. He’s always being scolded by his wife. Didn’t you already destroy him?”

“That’s just what you see on the surface. He hasn’t fought back, but do you think he’s a good-for-nothing just because of that? You guys might think so, but I don’t.”

“Hilary Stone, you better explain yourself. What do you mean? Isn’t he a piece of trash?”

“I really don’t understand why all of you think that he’s a good-for-nothing just because he’s done nothing. He’s much more capable than any of his brothers. Haven’t you ever wondered why I ganged up with the second son and third son of the family to go against the eldest one? Besides, have you ever considered why we’ve only gone as far as balancing the power even after so many years? We’ve never been able to secure victory.”

Now that Hilary Stone had said so, Gremlin thought that she was right.

“Therefore, you better lure him away when you kidnap his wife. You’ll surely fail otherwise.”

“Alright, what should I do then?”

“It’s quite simple. His weakness is being over-conservative. I’m sure that he’ll rush over to put out a fire if the Larson family’s old residence is on fire.”

“Hilary Stone, are you crazy? Are you asking me to set the whole residence on fire? Do you know how many people I’ll offend by doing so?”

“Are you getting scared now? I thought that you weren’t afraid of anything.”

“Who says I’m afraid? I’m not. I just think that your plan’s unfeasible.”

“So you’re afraid. Why wouldn’t it work out? We’re both nuts, and only those who are truly crazy would be able to do what we do, so what’s there to fear? What can’t we do?”

“You’re really scary. The more I talk to you, the more afraid I get. Why did I even decide to look for you?”

“Well, you’re welcome to leave. I’m sure you don’t need my help and can get rid of that family alone. Why do you need me? Of course, you could also learn from me and wait for me to destroy Yvette Larson’s family. Then, you’d achieve your goal too.”

“Wait for you? I might die before that happens.”

“I guess you’re still self-aware. Since you know that, you’d better listen to me. We’ll put the plan into action tomorrow.”

“Ok!”

…

Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson had intended on working out after dinner but could only return home after bumping into Hilary Stone.

Along the way home, the couple bought fried chicken for Linda James. Since she couldn’t get out of the house, they would buy her favorite food to appease her at the very least.

Of course, Finn Taylor thought that his wife had bought the chicken for herself, not his mother-in-law. He had never known that the latter liked fried chicken.

However, Finn Taylor was whipped for his wife and would do as she said. Everything she said was correct in his eyes.

‘Since Yvette says that her mom likes fried chicken, I’ll go get it. Who cares if Linda James really likes it? If Yvette said so, it must be true.’

Yvette Larson liked this about her husband. He had a high EQ and was intelligent. He also knew when to ask the right questions.

When the couple returned home and opened the door to Linda James’s room, they realized that she wasn’t there!

“Hey, where is she?”

They then spotted Francis Larson at the door. “Dad, don’t tell me that you let her out?”

Francis Larson nodded. “That’s right. I was the one who let her out. She’s your mom. How could you lock her up? You’re in no place to do that to her.”

“Dad, I know you love Mom, and I know that you mean well, but do you know that you’ll hurt her? Do you know how many people are waiting to kidnap her?”
