The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine - Chapter 392 - An End

Melanie Taylor had indeed not expected Finn Taylor to show up. ‘He’s practically tempting fate. He couldn’t even defeat Lancelot or Guinevere, so how will he be able to win against my men? But he’s here, and he didn’t even hesitate before coming down. Would I do the same for my men? Probably not. My life is the most important. If I die, why would everything else—friendship, love, and relationships—matter? Even if they beat my brother up, I’ll never step in if that means putting my own life in danger.’ 

“What? Did you really not expect me to show up?”

“I didn’t, but so what? Mr. Guinn, do as you please but don’t kill him. You can paralyze him though.” If she could, Melanie Taylor would’ve killed Finn Taylor a long time ago. However, they were both Taylors and relatives. If she were to kill him, her family would probably ostracize her.

Although their opinions didn’t matter much to her, she would still need their support if she wanted to helm the Taylor family in the future.

This was also one of the reasons Melanie Taylor hated Finn Taylor so much.

Melanie Taylor looked down on all her relatives, yet she couldn’t get away from them. While they pretended to respect her on the surface, the young lady knew that they would always badmouth her behind her back. Even so, there was nothing she could do. It wasn’t as though she could simply kill them.

Her grandpa definitely wouldn’t allow her to do so.

Since she couldn’t kill them, there was only one thing she could do—suppress them so that they knew that death was the only way out if they were to oppose her.

This was indeed a good strategy, and her relatives dared not run their mouths in front of her.

As Mr. Guinn threw a punch out, so did Finn Taylor. Yet, that one move was enough to throw the latter onto the ground.

‘Just as I thought. Finn Taylor can’t even beat Lancelot and Guinevere, and Mr. Guinn managed to defeat the couple earlier. It’s obvious that Finn Taylor won’t be his match!’ 

Now, the younger man was lying motionless on the ground.

“No!” Lancelot and Guinevere roared. ‘Finn Taylor shouldn’t have come. It was our fault for coming in the first place. We should’ve listened to him! If this had happened while we were still part of Peregrine Hall, nobody would’ve come to save us. The people in Peregrine Hall care most about loyalty and obedience. If we had ever gone against anyone, we would’ve practically been done for. Even if we succeeded in our missions, we would be punished once we returned to Peregrine Hall. I never thought that Finn Taylor would come and save us after we failed so badly!’

Not only had Finn Taylor shown up for them, but he had even been beaten. Just like the couple, he was on the verge of dying.

It was alright for the couple to be in this state since they had brought this upon themselves. However, they would never be able to answer to their conscience if Finn Taylor were to die because of their mistake.

What they didn’t know was that the exact same thought was running through Finn Taylor’s mind. ‘It’s my fault that the two of them are lying here today. I shouldn’t have gone to find them. If I hadn’t brought them out of the woods, this never would’ve happened to them.’

Of course, none of the others—Melanie Taylor, Levi Taylor, or Mr. Guinn—knew what was running through their minds. After all, they had been brought up differently, and it simply wasn’t part of their nature.

To Finn Taylor, friendship was even more important than his own life.

But to Melanie Taylor and the others, their lives were the top priority.

‘Nobody will help you for no reason. People only help you because they have something to gain from it. There are no such things as friends or brothers in this world, only slaves and underlings.’

“Finn Taylor, I guess you’re going to die today. You were no match for my men.”

The other said nothing and merely curled up the corners of his lips.

“Don’t smile at me like that. I know what you’re thinking. Do you think that I won’t dare to kill you because I won’t be able to give an answer to those people in the family? You’re forgetting that they’ll only be able to do something if they learn about it. What will happen if I cover this up so that they won’t know about this? Finn Taylor, I’ve been considering how to kill you. I can’t go easy on you.”

Just as Melanie Taylor was contemplating that question, Mr. Guinn suddenly coughed. He felt a strong pressure acting upon him, heavy enough to suffocate him.

Because he was trained, he knew that this wouldn’t happen out of the blue unless someone even more powerful was around. Yet, that person wasn’t showing themself.

If that person chose not to appear in front of them, they would never be found.

This could only mean that this was a warning.

Now, Mr. Guinn no longer dared to kill Finn Taylor. ‘I’m sure that Finn Taylor brought the other man along; otherwise, he’d never be acting this way. He’d be confident and waiting for me to kill him.’ 

“Miss, why don’t we just let this go? We’re all Taylors after all. Why don’t we put a stop to this here?”
