Melanie Taylor looked overwhelmingly domineering at this moment, and that threw Kimberly Gold into a frenzy. “Who are you? Why did you destroy my grandpa’s painting?”

Melanie Taylor glanced at the young lady. “Beat her up!”

The moment she finished her sentence, the bodyguard behind her slapped Kimberly Gold in the face.

“Old man, your granddaughter seems a little insensible.”

Third Master Gold was incensed by this point, yet he didn’t do anything because it was Melanie Taylor he was facing.

She represented South-East Asia’s Taylor family.

Although the Gold family held great command in San Francisco, they were nowhere near the level of the Taylor family from South-East Asia.

“Ms. Taylor, please forgive her. She’s still young and insensible.”

Melanie Taylor smiled. “I guess you know that she’s wrong too. Since that’s the case, get her to kneel down and apologize to me.”

Third Master Gold’s pupils widened at that.?‘I can’t even bear to scold my precious granddaughter. How dare Melanie Taylor ask her to kneel down!’?

“Ms. Taylor, why don’t I kneel?”

“Grandpa, how could you kneel before her?” Kimberly Gold didn’t recognize the other lady and still had no clue about what had happened. All she knew was that a group had barged into their home, smashed their painting, and even slapped her! Now, they were even forcing her grandpa and her to kneel down to them!

“How interesting. You can kneel down in her place, but I want you to kowtow to me too.”

‘Kneel and even kowtow to her? Why is Melanie Taylor being so ruthless?’?

Of course, the family had no choice but to cave in the face of Melanie Taylor’s threat. With South-East Asia’s Taylor family threatening him, Third Master Gold’s knees slowly buckled as he fell to the ground and kowtowed to the other.

“No!” Kimberly Gold could no longer hold herself back as she roared, “You scumbag, I’m going to kill you! You deserve to die! Go to hell!”

Emotions surged in Third Master Gold’s heart.?‘I kneeled to give Kimberly a chance of survival, but she lost it because I went down on my knees. She’s completely lost it toward Melanie Taylor. I’m sure that will only make the latter even more vicious.’

“Disfigure that brat.”

The bodyguard behind Melanie Taylor took a knife out and grabbed hold of Kimberly Gold’s face, disfiguring her in mere seconds.

Unfortunately, the young girl’s beauty was now gone.

“Old man, I want you to transfer all of your family’s assets to me and leave San Francisco within a week. Otherwise, it’ll be the neck and not the face next time.”

‘A threat. It’s such an obvious threat, but what else can I do? Even if I try to stand up against her, we’re no match for South-East Asia’ Taylor family. Besides, she’s not just all bark. She’s completely capable of going through with what she just said. So what if she escapes after doing that to us? Given how influential the Taylor family is, there’s nothing we can do. We can’t possibly head to South-East Asia to take revenge. The whole family will probably be killed if I do that.’?

“Alright. I promise you, Ms. Taylor.”

That was exactly what Melanie Taylor wanted to hear. She stood up and looked at Third Master Gold before asking him one last question. “Tell your granddaughter whether you think your painting is trash. Do you think I did a good job by destroying it?”

Third Master Gold’s dignity had been completely trampled on, yet there was nothing he could do. “Yes, Ms. Taylor. You did well; my painting is trash!” f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

“Hahaha!” Melanie Taylor roared in laughter as she left.

Only after the group left did Third Master Gold slowly crawl up from the ground. The whole episode had lasted only minutes, but it had completely drained him.

His heart ached as he looked at his granddaughter’s face. “Kimberly, it’s my fault for being so useless.”

The young girl tried to hold back her tears. “Grandpa, who are they? Let’s look for Finn. I’m sure he’ll have a solution.”

Her grandpa sighed. “No need. I’ll get someone to announce that the Gold family will leave San Francisco and transfer all our assets to Melanie Taylor.”

“Grandpa…”

…

The Gold family’s announcement made waves in the city. Everyone knew what that entailed—the Gold family had fallen from grace.

However, nobody had gained anything from this change.

Besides, who was Melanie Taylor—the one who had taken over the family’s assets? This was the question in everyone’s mind.

When Hunter Sullivan learned of this, he immediately sought his boss out. “Do you know about what happened to the Gold family?”

“What happened?” Finn Taylor had been on the call with Yvette and knew nothing about what had happened.

“Go watch the news.”

Finn Taylor felt incredulous but still switched the news on.

When he understood the situation, he was dumbfounded. “What does this mean?”

“I don’t know. Shall we pay the Gold family a visit?”

“Let’s go.” Finn Taylor was stumped by Third Master Gold’s actions.?‘I’m still in a heated fight against Melanie Taylor, yet the latter has practically surrendered to the woman. While the Gold family’s actions aren’t the decisive factor for my victory, they will affect my standing. Everyone in the city knows that the Gold family is on good terms with me and that I treat Kimberly Gold as my younger sister. Still, Third Master Gold has transferred all of the family’s projects to Melanie Taylor!’?

Finn Taylor and Hunter Sullivan rushed down to the Gold family’s residence as quickly as possible. “Third Master Gold, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

The older man wasn’t shocked by the other’s arrival. In fact, he had already prepared himself for it.

Third Master Gold remained silent as Kimberly Gold walked forward.

Just as the younger man was about to question the family, he spotted the young girl’s disfigured face. “You… Did Melanie Taylor do this?”

Finn Taylor was stunned, but he immediately understood why the family had made such a decision—Melanie Taylor had threatened them with Kimberly Gold.

“Alright. Melanie Taylor, you’re going to hell.” Finn Taylor’s heart ached as he gazed at the young girl’s face. “Come on—I’ll take you to see Jeremy Smith. He’ll have a way of saving your face.”

Finn Taylor grabbed hold of the young girl’s hand, but she unexpectedly backed away. “Please have some self-respect, Mr. Taylor. The Gold family has nothing to do with you.. We just want a peaceful life.”
