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
After all, Stanley was their common enemy because of how often he bullied her family. She was well aware of that fact.At this time, the old lady also looked at Stanley. "Do you think I've been oblivious to what you've been doing in the past few years? Everything's been going downhill in the past three years, and you've even learned how to falsify accounts! What do you take me for? A senile old woman? Our family has lost a lot of money in the past two years, and if this continues, we might not even be able to keep our spot as a third-tier upper-class family!"Stanley lowered his head in an instant and he no longer had the confidence he had before. Clearly, his silence spoke volumes. Furthermore, he did not expect that the old lady had been secretly investigating the company's accounts, to the extent of knowing about his fraudulent practices."Grandma's the wisest! Our family company thrived when Diane was the general manager!" When Megan heard the old lady making such a remark, she
When Severin heard that, he could not help but frown. "Rufus does seem a little overly enthusiastic about getting revenge. I didn't expect him to come looking for us after I taught him a little lesson earlier!"Stanley was overjoyed when he heard that and immediately said, "You've screwed up big time, Severin. The Chavezes are a second-tier family, and Rufus is the eldest son of their patriarch. Who are you to teach him a lesson? Are you trying to get yourself killed?""Seriously, Severin? Of all the people you could've provoked, did you have to choose him? Our family won't be able to help you anymore!" William added.Felicia was also shocked to see Rufus's appearance, but she remembered that Severin only beat Rufus because Diane allowed him to. Besides, Felicia was earlier irked by him too. After thinking about it for a bit, she stood up for Severin. "Mom, you have to protect Severin. It was Rufus who crossed the line when he picked on us while we were buying cars. Severin only bea
"Tsk, tsk. The Chavezes are miles ahead of the Loughs, and yet Severin offended the Chavezes by beating up their patriarch's son! What a troublemaker!""Hehe, Diane's no better. She waited for all these years for that same troublemaker, and it seems to me that Severin would at least end up crippled, if not dead, today!"Many of the Shanahans' relatives or servants stood on one side and whispered to each other. Even though their voices were very soft, Severin still heard every single thing."Oh, Diane. Your husband sure is something else! I didn't think he'd go so far as to beat up Mister Rufus! Tsk, tsk. I must admit, his courage is admirable. He's like a lion amongst sheep! Your taste in men is quite unique." Maryam, who had been holding in her grudges before, was also there. When she saw Diane and Severin coming, she immediately walked over, folded her hands over her chest, and made some sarcastic remarks.She believed that the old lady would not help Severin at that juncture bec
"Keep dreaming, Rufus!" Diane replied coldly as soon as she heard that.Manuel's complexion turned ugly in an instant, and he said to Diane, "Why would you say that, Diane? We are a second-tier family. You'll be one step up the social hierarchy if you marry my son. You should've been grateful that he still fancies you even though you've been married once and had already given birth to a child. Where did you get the nerve to say tell my son to 'keep dreaming'?"After making that remark, Manuel turned his head to Rufus and said, "You're a disappointment, Rufus. You could've chosen any woman in the world, and you just had to choose her. You're my son, after all. Don't you have hordes of women to choose from?"Rufus pouted. "But Dad! The woman I truly like is Diane! It just has to be her!"Catherine thought for a while before taking a step forward and saying to Manuel, "Severin did beat your son up today, but I trust that Severin wouldn't've gone so far as to hit him if your son didn't
