The young girl smiled slightly and asked Diane if she was satisfied.Diane's red lips parted open slightly and she covered her mouth. "You're…you're too strong!""Goodness me." Maurice gulped. "Your strength is just…out of this world. Your salary must be very high too!" He previously also felt that they all looked too pampered to be bodyguards, but their show of strength really did scare him."Don't you worry, Dad. They've already been paid. It'll be much safer now that they're here to tag along with you whenever you go out in the future. I can finally rest easy now!" Severin said with a smile.A dull thud was heard as the girl put the stone lion on the ground. It felt as if the ground had shaken slightly.She dusted her hands, walked over, and smiled at Diane before saying, "Ma'am, I'm the weakest among the six. If you don't believe me, you can ask one of them to give you another demonstration!""I'll do it!" Another woman stood up and was about to walk over."No, no, no! I tru
The next morning, Severin was about to head out and see if he could hire some servants when Felicia, William, and Megan showed up unexpectedly."Oh, it's our in-laws! Come and have a seat!" As soon as Judith saw them, she immediately stepped forward and greeted them enthusiastically.Although a quarrel ensued the last time that their in-laws came, they were still technically family. Maurice then immediately greeted him with a smile. "Hello, Felicia. We went out yesterday and bought some good tea. I'll make some for you in a bit!""There's no need to be so polite. We're all family, after all." Felicia felt a little embarrassed when Maurice said that and immediately replied courteously to him.At that moment, six beautiful women came out of the house behind Diane."What's the deal with all these women, Severin?" Megan questioned Severin before Felicia could say anything else. She looked at all those women and saw how good of a figure they all had. Some looked like absolute sweeties,
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lillie was furious. She and her other five comrades were not some random people on the street, but junior generals who contributed a lot to their country during the war.Had Warren not personally come to them, they would never have decided to serve as someone else's bodyguards. Moreover, Wendy-the most beautiful of the six and also their leader-was none other than the granddaughter of Horace Newman, one of the Four Great War Heroes. After Wendy learned that her grandfather wanted to marry her off to a young man, she was intrigued by who that young man was. Unfortunately, that young man rejected her grandfather's gesture and refused her outright even though he had never even met her before! Wendy could not come to terms with that and felt very uneasy when that happened.As soon as she was told that the same young man needed a bodyguard, Wendy approached Warren without a second thought and declared to him that she wanted that position.In truth,
"There's no harm in keeping quiet, is there, Megan? Why are you getting all angry with the bodyguards?" Felicia chided when she saw that Diane and Severin were not very pleased with what happened.She smiled at them, recalled the reason for their visit, and said to Severin, "I'm sure you remember the bet we made, right?”Severin had a grin on his face as he answered immediately, "Of course. But it's only been two or three days though. Are you all getting overly anxious? I've assured you that the seven-and-a-half million dowry will be ready for you within a month!"In response, Felicia hurriedly said, "No, no, that's not it. We didn't come here to rush you. There's just one other thing that we need to tell you!""And what's this 'other thing'?" Severin frowned and was slightly puzzled.Felicia paused briefly before saying, "Our previous bet remains the same, but we're adding another extra condition!""Another extra condition? What do you mean by that?" Severin's face soured. "A be
Severin only made such a remark out of love for Diane. Felicia could not get angry at him for that, and she could not find a reason to refute it either."Easy for you to say! Where are you going to get all that money without selling off the villa? And didn't you also say that you wanted to organize a grand wedding for my sister in the future?" Megan sneered. "I think you're just deliberately making excuses to drag this further. I'm sure you'd be more than happy to drag this out as long as you can since there's still more than twenty days remaining."Diane did not wait for Severin to say anything further and took the initiative to respond. "You don't have to worry so much, Megan. Mom will get the seven and a half million that Severin promised. Not a cent less! All you need to do is wait. The money will be transferred to Mom's account later. She just needs to give him the account number!""Does he really have that much money?" Megan became a little flustered when she saw Diane's confi
Severin could only frown when he knew what Felicia and William were thinking. In truth, he could never spend all the money he had even if he never went to work again for the rest of his life. He did not want Diane to work again because she had suffered so much for him in the past years.Had he not been afraid of scaring Diane with the knowledge of how much money he owned, he would not have shown her just thirty million to prove to her that he had the money. He only showed her that amount to reassure her of his ability.He remained silent for a few seconds and then asked William, "Were you hoping that Diane would go back to work?"Upon hearing this, Megan, who had been stifling her anger in her heart, said directly, "Duh! Can you afford to take care of my sister if she doesn't go to work? We want to live a high-class life, not an ordinary life! And on that note, having too much money isn't a problem, right?"Severin glanced at Megan and could not be bothered to entertain her stubbor
Severin, however, shook his head. "If she wants to go back to the company, the only way is to become the general manager. Being just a manager will give Stanley all the authority to make things difficult for you with the ultimate aim of firing you!""You're right. He is a very sinister man!" Felicia nodded in approval, but soon frowned and said, "But the old lady probably won't agree!""Haha, she'll have to agree if she doesn't have a choice!" Severin said with a chuckle and added. "Don't worry. Just leave it to me!""Hehe, easy for you to say. Stanley's no idiot. Grandma said she'll give him a week. If he doesn't secure the quota yet, then she'll come to you for help. You do understand what that means, don't you? She values Stanley more. You're just a last-ditch option!" Megan snickered. "Besides, Mister Henry doesn't owe you any more favors after giving you the villa. The quota for Liberty City is very precious and far from being just simply projects. God knows how many million ea
We are not just going to go out for lunch. I think we should at least eat at a five stars hotel. That's the only way for you to show us that you love my sister, right? If you don't treat her family with respect, how are you going to prove that you love her?""Besides, for someone who could afford that amount of dowry, he won't bother paying for lunch at all," Megan said. She was not stupid. If Severin was really that rich, he would agree to take them out to eat without any hesitation. However, if he hesitated just a little, it meant he was just stalling the time when he promised to give the dowry. She glared at Severin to monitor his reaction."Sure! I have that idea too!" Severin answered.Unexpectedly, Severin agreed without even giving it a thought and answered indifferently. "Diane's parent is my parent. Look at how big Selene is now. I haven't treated all of you to a meal before. Since this is the first time I'm buying lunch, we have to go somewhere classy!""Master, should we
