After a few days of observation, the group finally managed to get a good idea of what was going on in the hotel. They now knew where the security officers and surveillance cameras were positioned and how to get into Wendy Jensen’s room without being discovered.
Finally, they started to take action.
The six of them were split into two groups. Hunter Sullivan and Finn Taylor were together, with Logan Yeats leading the rest.
The two groups headed into the hotel, toward Wendy Jensen’s room, from two different directions.
As Finn Taylor walked into the hotel, the two security officers glanced at him. However, the former acted as though he saw nothing and walked straight in.
As for Hunter Sullivan, he had been through life-and-death situations, so this wasn’t going to scare him. Neither of the guards suspected a thing as the pair walked into the hotel.
The pair walked toward the elevator on the left side of the building, while the other group headed to the elevator on the right side.
Both posed their own set of dangers.
According to the map that Leonard had given Finn Taylor, the pair would walk past the Taylor siblings’ room while the other group would walk past their subordinates’ rooms. This meant that they were in danger of being exposed whether they entered from the right side or the left side of the building.
To be honest, Finn Taylor was confused as to why Melanie Taylor would arrange for the rooms to be as such. ‘Aren’t her men supposed to protect them? Why would she put them so far away from herself? But that’s a good thing for us.’
By now, both groups had arrived at the floor where the siblings were staying.
Standing at both ends of the corridor, the two groups glanced at each other, not moving.
Finally, Finn Taylor nodded, and the pair walked toward the room in the middle.
Actually, it was safer for Finn Taylor and Hunter Sullivan because there were only two rooms on this side of the corridor.
The other group had to walk past over a dozen rooms.
Finally, Finn Taylor arrived in front of the siblings’ rooms. The rooms were opposite each other, and in front of them was Wendy Jensen’s room.
However, the pair stopped in their tracks. They each stood in front of a room, listening to what each of the siblings was doing.
Logan Yeats’s team would be in charge of saving the hostage.
Finn Taylor was now sure that there was nobody in Levi Taylor’s room—both the siblings were in Melanie Taylor’s.
Logan Yeats walked to the door and nodded before pushing it open and walking in. It was exceptionally easy for him to open the door.
In the room, Wendy Jensen was still bound. Perhaps it was because she had been exhausted from struggling, but she was no longer moving much.
But the moment she saw the men, she started struggling yet again, causing a din.
There was only a thin wall between her and the Taylor siblings.
Hearing the sounds, Levi Taylor pointed next door. “Do you want to go have a look?”
Finn Taylor heard that, and he nervously prepared himself for a battle.
As long as Levi Taylor stepped foot out of his room, he would attack him.
That was his chance. Otherwise, he might be defeated by the other.
“She’s been going at it for a long time. Don’t bother about her.” Thankfully, Melanie Taylor ignored her brother.
In the other room, Logan Yeats gestured for the woman to remain silent. “Wendy Jensen, don’t say anything. We’re here to save you.”
Hearing that, Wendy Jensen kept quiet.
Logan Yeats quickly untied the ropes and quietly led the woman out.
The group finally felt a sense of relief. However, Logan Yeats hadn’t told the woman enough, and she let out a yelp the moment she walked out and spotted her son.
It wasn’t loud, but the siblings must’ve heard her.
‘We’re done for.’ At that moment, everyone knew that things were going down.
Just as expected, Finn Taylor heard Melanie Taylor walk toward them.
On the other side of the corridor, doors opened one after another, and the siblings’ subordinates quickly made their way over too.
“You guys leave first. I’ll take care of this,” Finn Taylor commanded.
However, nobody dared to move. If they were to leave Finn Taylor here alone, it was possible that the latter would die right here.
“Leave. Are you going to ignore me?”
Eventually, Hunter Sullivan grabbed Wendy Jensen and rushed downstairs.
Although the rest of the group felt awful about leaving him alone, they had no other choice. They knew that leaving was the better choice for everyone.
When the siblings got out of their rooms, what they saw was the group escaping with Wendy Jensen, and Finn Taylor blocking the stairwell.
However, Melanie Taylor didn’t give an order for her men to chase after the others.
Wendy Jensen had never been her target. Finn Taylor was the only one she cared the slightest bit about in the entire Taylor family from Chicago and only the slightest bit.
Melanie Taylor clapped. “What a great scene. How moving.”
“You can deal with me. There’s no need to drag anyone else into this.”
“Who are you talking about? Wendy Jensen, or your ex-wife—Yvette Larson?”
Hearing Yvette Larson’s name, Finn Taylor felt his heart leap in his chest. Nonetheless, he pretended to be indifferent.
He couldn’t let the other see that he still cared about his ex-wife; otherwise, she’d be in danger.
“Nobody else is involved in this. If you want to deal with me, fine. Let’s make a bet on our businesses in San Francisco. If you win, I’ll hand over the position of Master Peregrine. If you lose, scram and go back to where you belong. What do you think of that?”
“Interesting. How interesting.” Melanie Taylor’s interest was piqued. ‘There aren’t many who dare to go against me in the business world. I’ve never come in second place when it comes to business—whether it be investments or others. Why does Finn Taylor think he can win?’
“Fine, I’ll accept your challenge. But I don’t have much time. One month—just one month.”
Finn Taylor nodded.
This was good news to both of them. If he could resolve this matter between Melanie Taylor and him within a month, he could get remarried to Yvette Larson.
Melanie Taylor didn’t have time to waste, nor did Finn Taylor.
Finn Taylor glanced at Levi Taylor before chuckling. “Why are you two always in the same room when I visit? Why don’t you go visit the orthopedist when you have time?”
With that, he turned to leave.
The atmosphere was awkward now that Finn Taylor had said so, and the siblings stood in silence as though the man had exposed them.
