Severin could tell Diane's mood had gotten better. He started to feel a little emotional. 'Money is still the best tool in this world. Although Diane never thought about leaving me when I was poor, we would never be treated equally by her family. Needless to say, being blessed by them. Diane would have a terrible time if we continued to live that way,' he thought.Soon, the three cars arrived at Shanahan's estate. Every member of the Shanahan lived in the villa inside the estate. They bought a couple of villas and built a wall to make their own private compound.However, these villas were incomparable to the villa in Dragon Lake Vista where Severin now stayed."What's going on? Who do those three cars belong to?""I don't know. I never saw it before. Three identical cars. I bet they cost around a hundred thousand dollars.""No! You're wrong. This is the one with the highest spec. Probably around two hundred thousand dollars!""Damn! Let's go over and take a look at who's the owne
"Look at them, just look at them!" Maryam stressed. She stomped her feet angrily when Diane and her family entered the house.Truthfully speaking, she hoped Diane would continue to be together with that lousy man. She hoped Diane would still be that stubborn woman who insisted to be together with Severin. That was the only way she could continue to insult them and look down at them.Things just did not turn out the way she hoped. A handsome guy was actually pursuing Diane now and even spent money to buy three cars just to please Diane's parents. The jealousy in her heart nearly exploded.Unfortunately, she was not there when Severin ruined the wedding. After she heard what happened, she regretted not attending the wedding. If she was at home, she would definitely go and take a look instead of missing out on such a good show.At least, she could see the man Diane insisted on marrying. That would be a good opportunity to humiliate Diane and that man too."Diane is so amazing. Having
Now that Diane and her family actually owe three cars that were better than Stanley! It meant they were better than him now!"Rich kid from which family? Is it Edward? He had said it. If Diane was willing to marry him, he would give Felicia a million dollars of dowry. I didn't know he actually was willing to fork out more money to buy cars for them!" George said after giving it a thought.Maryam shook her head. "No. I don't know him either. Maybe he's not from an upper-class family. Maybe he's just the son of a businessman. But it is still a lot of money!""You don't know? If you don't know him, it means he is not one of the rich kids that like her in the past. Geez, I'm shocked. Diane insisted on being together with Severine just a few days ago. She changed so fast!" Stanley sneered."Haha, she's such a good actress. Remember how she pretended to be pure and loyal? I guess she has succumbed herself to the power of money!""I agreed. She's so phony!" Maryam said.On the contrary,
After Diane and Severin entered the house, she quickly let go of Severin's wrist. No one knew when rosy red color appeared on her cheek.Severin felt happy and sweet like he had just eaten honey when he heard Diane calling him honey. It kinda surprised him Diane would blush after holding his hand for just a while. By all means, they had already had a daughter.Nonetheless, Diane was pregnant because they accidentally slept together. Other than that, she had never had a relationship before. It was natural for her to feel shy like a teenager.Moreover, she had been keeping her integrity other than the night she slept with Severin. That was why she still feel so shy."Diane, what did you call me just now? Can you call me again?" Severin walked over with a smile and asked.Diane rolled her eyes at him. "Nothing. What did I call you? Did you hallucinate?"Surprisingly, Selene ran over and looked at Diane. "Dad. Mom is lying. She called you honey just now. She lied! Mom, didn't you say
Maurice stood up immediately too."Oh, you two. Please sit back down!" Felicia immediately stopped the two of them. "What do you mean you didn't buy anything? Didn't you buy a car for me and Megan? A luxury car worth two hundred and sixty dollars! Even Stanley the general manager doesn't drive such an expensive car! Isn't this good enough."Judith and Maurice could only smile and sit back down. 'She's right, this should be considered a gift, but we just happened to have forgotten all about it earlier!'They felt relieved that they did not come empty-handed at least.Megan then stood up proudly and said loudly, "Hahahah! Stanley will probably be so jealous if he sees me driving such a luxurious car!" After ending her sentence, she discovered that Felicia was winking at her non-stop, so she frowned and asked, "What's the matter, Mom? Did you get sand in your eyes?"However, she soon discovered that everyone had an uneasy look on their faces. When she turned around, she was startled
"He's Severin? I thought he just came out of prison. Is he that rich already?" Maryam frowned. She wondered if it was a dream because everything was simply so surreal to her.On one side, Stanley said, "That's him alright. He's the one who made a big fuss at the hotel during Easton's wedding that day!"After hearing what Stanley said, there was nothing Maryam could say despite her unwillingness.Catherine remembered that she needed Severin's help with Liberty City and could not help but say to Diane, "Diane, you're back! Shouldn't you be introducing your man to us?"Many years have passed since Diane was kicked out of the house, and although she did feel that her grandmother had crossed the line back then, she could not say that she hated the old lady either. After all, the only reason she got wasted and slept with Severin in a drunken encounter was because she did not want to marry Edward and ran away as a result. Therefore, she always felt that she was responsible for everything
"Those three cars outside…did you buy them?" Catherine asked again.Severin nodded. "That's right!"The old lady then smiled and said, "But you were just released, weren't you? Where did you get so much money?"Severin was speechless. 'This old woman is asking too many questions.'However, he felt that it would not be inappropriate to ignore her, so he smiled slightly and said, "To tell you the truth, I met a savant in prison and we developed a very good relationship. He eventually gave me a lot of money, so these cars are like spare change to me!"The old lady was stunned for a moment. She clearly did not believe Severin's explanation one bit, because in her opinion, whatever money Severin had must have been given to him by Henry Longhorn. After all, Severin had saved Henry, and it was logical to expect Henry to give Severin some money in addition to a villa."Well, we'll be family from now on! At the very least, you'll become the Shanahans' son-in-law. If Diane marries you, the
"What's the meaning of this, Severin? Grandma has shown her magnanimity to accept you, but rather than being grateful and making some contributions to the Shanahans, you treat it as some sort of a deal!" Stanley was only stunned for only a brief moment before glaring at Severin.To his surprise, Severin smiled faintly and said, "It's not that easy, you know. I'm a very realistic person, and I don't like doing things without getting anything in return!" He paused and then said, "Besides, haven't you always been very realistic too? If it weren't for my relationship with Mister Henry, I don't think the old lady would be so courteous toward me right now!""Severin, what are you talking about?" Felicia was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.However, Severin looked straight at the old lady and said, "It's up to you to consider it.""Haha, how very bold of you!" Nobody expected the old lady to laugh so loudly at that moment. "Okay then, let's do away with the chara
