MY SUPER SON IN LAW, VOLUME 4 - Season 5 Episode 7

The three years had been an arduous journey for the couple. Firstly, Linda James had always tested their relationship as though she couldn’t wait to see them get divorced. In fact, it didn’t just happen while he was at his lowest. Even after Finn Taylor’s identity was exposed and everyone learned that he was the young master of the Taylor family, Linda James remained indifferent to that fact.

Everything had to go her way; otherwise, she would find all ways to get back at him.

Besides, she was also a slacker who wished to enjoy the benefits of hard work without doing anything. This was exactly why she had married her husband in the first place. The Larson family had been quite a prominent family in the past, and Francis Larson was the eldest of the family. Logically speaking, he was the first in line to the family’s inheritance and would even become the family head.

Yet, how was she to know that her husband was such a good-for-nothing that he never tried to fight for any of the family’s assets? Even when his younger brothers took him for a ride, he never once complained about it, saying that it was only right to give in to them since they were family.

But Francis Larson never seemed to realize that people changed over time and that his younger brothers were no longer the same young boys they were in the past. This was especially so after their father passed on—they were nothing but relatives in name.

Francis James had been tricked over and over again by his brothers, but he had gotten used to it and could only swallow his displeasure. After all, he had been raised to give in to his brothers.

However, his wife couldn’t stand living a life like that, and that was why she didn’t treat her husband well. If not for the fact that they had a daughter, the couple might very well have gotten divorced a long time ago.

Yet, their daughter had gotten married to Finn Taylor—who had a similar personality to Francis Larson! All he knew to do was remain silent and take whatever beatings or scoldings he received.

Linda James probably thought that she was blind for having allowed someone like this into the family.

People always said that a person had four chances to turn their lives around.

The first was the lottery of birth—one that nobody had a say over.

The second was at college admissions—everything depended on how hard one worked. Linda James wasn’t a genius, nor did she work hard enough. Hence, this didn’t change her life either.

The third would be getting married to a rich man, which would set one up for life.

As for the fourth? That would be their children’s marriage—whether the child was a son or daughter.

Of course, it would be better if one’s child was a daughter. Then, her family would be able to leech off her and get to live blissful lives too.

But it wouldn’t matter even if that child was a son. In Linda James’s eyes, Finn Taylor had also led a blissful life after marrying into their family.

It was just that she hadn’t expected Finn Taylor to be hiding so much from her.

Linda James had already used three of her four chances, and all her hopes were now pinned on the last one. Yet, Yvette Larson had gotten married to a good-for-nothing. As such, she had spent the past three years trying to tear the couple apart, going so far as to prevent her daughter from getting close to her own husband.

Yet, as fate would have it, the couple’s relationship only improved. They even fell deeply in love with each other.

Just as Linda James lost all hope, she suddenly discovered that her son-in-law wasn’t just an ordinary man but a filthy rich one. It seemed like her daughter had gotten married to a wealthy man!

Just as she was about to rejoice over that, Finn Taylor got into deep trouble with his family. Not only was he about to go bankrupt, but even his life was in danger. If her son-in-law could be threatened even with all the money he had, it was obvious how much more the Larson family stood to lose.

She couldn’t just stand still and watch that happen. She had to make her daughter get a divorce, and that was exactly what she did.

Even though her daughter had done as she had wished, Linda James had only grown even more paranoid and had even tried to suck up to Melanie Taylor. She had thought that Melanie Taylor would accept her if she exposed Finn Taylor’s secret. Perhaps Melanie Taylor would even reward her!

Yet, reality was a slap in the face. She couldn’t even match up to a dog in front of the wealthy.

While Finn Taylor was polite to her, it didn’t mean that everyone would do the same.

People could only be friends when their self-interests were met. If one of them was rich while the other was poor, it would be impossible for them to be friends.

Their paths would never cross, and even if they were to meet, they would be nothing more than strangers.

As Linda James was woken up to reality, her son-in-law returned and told her that he was getting remarried to her daughter!

Linda James naturally thought the situation incredulous. ‘How could things have turned out this way? I tried all means to get the couple divorced, yet they got back together after everything that had happened! I’m no different from a clown!’

“Are you done eating? Let’s go for your training then.”

“Let’s go. I’ll do just as my wife says.”

“Oh right, can I be trained in martial arts too? At least I’ll be able to defend myself in the future and won’t always have to rely on you to save me. That will save both of us some worry.”

“Sure, but not the kind that I do. I’ll find a chance to get my master to teach you something more suitable for you.”

“Why is this not suitable for me? Are you looking down on me?”

“Well, I’m not looking down on you, but it’s really not for you. Have you heard of having a tree placed on you as part of your training? Do you think it’ll be alright for you?”
