MY SUPER SON IN LAW, VOLUME 4 - Season 5 Episode 5

Society was indeed brutal.

Josie Meyer thought that she was being scheming by joining a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. She even thought that the boss of the company would think of her as their benefactor and that her future would be unbridled.

That was why she had done all that.

Because of everything she had done, Finn Taylor could tell that it hadn’t even been three years since the young lady had graduated.

After all, if a company was really going through such a major crisis that they were on the verge of shutting down, the higher management would definitely choose to fire the lowest-level employees first.

Why? Because it was humiliating.

They couldn’t afford to chase the more experienced employees away, so it was only natural for the newest employees to be chosen instead.

It was obvious that Finn Taylor saw Michelle Yeller as his friend from how he saved her from a kidnapping, and he hoped that the latter would take his advice.

“I’ll be honest with you. If my company really goes under, you’ll have no choice but to resign. If I manage to toil through and defeat Melanie Taylor, I’ll fire you.”

That surprised Michelle Yeller. “Why? Didn’t you say that we’re friends? If we really manage to get past this crisis, you should give me some credit for helping you. Why would you fire me?”

“It’s simple, so don’t make such a big fuss over it. It’s obviously to cover up the truth so that nobody will talk about it. After I fire you, I’ll simply use the excuse that you exposed my secret. It won’t matter whether you actually did it since I’m your boss. What you say will never mean anything.”

“Finn Taylor, you’re so vicious! I never knew that you were a person like this. I always thought of you as my friend; I thought you were a good man. Who would’ve thought you’d be someone like this?” Michelle Yeller felt a stone weighing down on her heart. ‘I was wrong this time. I’ve always thought that he was a good man ever since I first met him. He was always ready to offer his help to others, but I never expected him to be so vicious when it concerned his company. I thought I was on good terms with him, but he so heartlessly said that he’d fire me! He even left without sparing me a glance!’

She now wondered if she would follow in her friend’s footsteps and show up for work at Melanie Taylor’s company the next day. She would have to spend some time mulling over the matter.

“Do you know them well?” Yvette Larson asked her husband after they left.

“Are you jealous? But that’s normal. I’m sure no woman would want their husbands to have so many other women by their sides.”

“I’m not jealous. I just think that those two girls are quite childish, just like you said. They’ll resign on their own accord before long. You’re right; I’ve seen their resumes. It’s only been slightly more than a year since they graduated. Someone already told me about their intentions for joining the company when they first joined us. But I don’t think there was a need to tell them the truth; they wouldn’t understand it anyway. They won’t be satisfied with whatever they hear and will only grow to hate you. It seems like you were quite close to that girl.”

“Yes, that’s why I was so direct. She’s still young, and she should learn just how cruel this society is. I’m doing it for her good. Sometimes, it’s in someone’s best interest to hurt them instead of protecting them.”

Finn Taylor made absolute sense. Although it seemed as though he was hurting the young girl on the surface, the truth was that he was protecting her.

Now, it was up to Michelle Yeller whether she took his advice.

“Let’s talk about someone else.”

“Who’s that?”

“Willow Stone.”

“Do you know her family background?”

“No, but I heard that her parents are farmers. However, I’m sure she was lying to me. I’ve tried to look into it, but I wasn’t able to find out anything about her parents.”

“That’s fake. They’re from a prominent family in Europe. They’re probably among the top 20 families, and their family is even on good terms with the royal family there.”

‘Part of the top 20 families in the world? That’s far beyond my imagination! I never expected her to be so impressive. Still, we had no choice but to part ways. We’re more like enemies now.’

“Why did you suddenly bring her up? Do you want to tell me something?”

“Yes, you’re right. I collaborated with her some time ago since we have some common enemies like Quince Larson and Melanie Taylor.”

“Common enemies? I don’t think Willow Stone has had any interactions with Quince Larson. It’s much more likely that they think of you as their common enemy. I guess it’s because she likes you.” Yvette Larson didn’t beat around the bush. It was an open secret how her ex-best friend liked her husband. However, nobody dared to say anything about it.

“You don’t have to care about that. I’m sure you know about how we pretended to be having an affair. What I want to tell you is about Melanie Taylor.

Willow Stone was the one who approached me, saying that she wanted to work together with me to defeat Melanie Taylor. It’s not because she has anything against the Taylor family but the power behind them—a family in Europe.. Because of that European family, she wants to help me deal with South-East Asia’s Taylor family so that I’ll help her defeat said enemy in the future.”
