Diane exchanged glances with Megan and they were both utterly speechless. With more than two hundred people there and several among them who could hold their own against a dozen or even several dozen men, it was appalling that Severin could even make a statement that the bodyguards were 'like ants'. He could bluff without batting an eye and without the smallest ounce of shame."Well, we have nothing more to worry about now that Diane will finally continue working at the company," Felicia said with a smile. "After you become the general manager, you can't continue to let your father remain as an ordinary warehouse manager with a deducted salary, right?"Diane smiled softly in response and said, "Of course not!"Felicia's eyes lit up and she looked eagerly at Diane. "Can he get a promotion or something of the sort?""Absolutely not." Diane shook her head. "I plan to fire him.""WHAT?!" Felicia nearly vomited blood. "What do you mean, Diane? You're going to fire him? How could you be
After hearing that, Blade could not help but nod in agreement. "You're right. That is quite difficult indeed. Coming up with a good excuse is rather troublesome too."He put some thought into the matter and finally said to Larry, "How about we use the excuse of having him treat my mother next time?""I..." Larry facepalmed."Curses! Some luck this Severin has! I wanted to end his life today, but I didn't expect Larry to stand up for him!" Rufus, who by then had returned to the Chavezes, was still cursing angrily and had nowhere to vent his rage.On one side, Manuel said, "Hehe, just forget it. We have to show some respect to Larry, and I did make that agreement with Severin before too. Since he did manage to get Larry over with just a phone call, I cannot possibly break my word as the head of the Chavezes."After finishing speaking, he looked at his stubborn son and said, "You are not to provoke Severin in the coming days, at least for this period. Larry will need Severin's help t
"No! Let me go! I'm begging you! Hic, hic!" The curvy young woman with an adorable face was quite charming indeed. She had been pinned down by two men, and she could only beg them to let her go because struggling was futile."Hehe, our boss gave you a chance to collect the money within a week and you failed, so since we can't get any money, we just have to have a bit of fun with you, hehe." The bald man could not help but lick his lips when he saw her struggling, and there was a hint of arousal in his eyes. She had an amazing figure, and the sight of her trying to break free from their restraints excited him even more.Seeing her resisting so fiercely with a scared expression made him wonder if she was still a virgin."Hurry up, Johnny!" said the blonde man who was one of two people who pinned her down. He was getting a little restless and wished that he could go first when he saw that the man whom he called Johnny was taking too long to do anything."And why the f*ck should I hurr
Severin's intention was not to kill them, but only to teach them a lesson. More importantly, their tone suggested that she had borrowed money from them and failed to pay it back. He viewed with disdain those women who liked borrowing money with high interest rates. In his opinion, most of them were vain individuals who liked to spend what they did not have, hence their predilection to borrowing money from shady people.That those men had gone to such lengths just to get her to pay them back was a clear sign of a problem on her part."Thank you for saving me!" After the woman buttoned up her clothes and saw that the men had run off, she stood up with reddened eyes and thanked Severin."No thanks necessary. I was just here by chance." Severin glanced casually at the other party and froze instantly! He frowned. "Cousin? Is that you?"It had been five years since he went to prison, and obviously he had not seen his cousin for very long already. He almost did not recognize who she was i
"You're going to return it to us? Pfft. Can you even afford it? Do you think it's just the eight thousand dollars? You owe our family much more than that?" Queenie had a resentful look in her eyes.Severin's heart was in turmoil. He never imagined that his cousin, who had such a good relationship with him back then, would look at him with that kind of gaze. He knew that things were not as simple as they appeared to be, and he could only wonder what could have happened to her family."What happened, Queenie? Why do you owe all that money, and why would they be so forceful with you?" Severin decided to ask Queenie.Queenie smiled bitterly. "You said you wanted to pay us back, right? Then let me ask you this: where did your family move to now? I was told yesterday that you had just been released, so I went to your house to look for you. Imagine my surprise when I found out that you'd all moved away and there was no one there! I couldn't get through to your parents either."Upon hearin
Severin was slightly surprised to hear that. "That doesn't sound right. You're working in a bar, and your salary probably isn't very low. How is it that you still owe them a little under nine thousand when you've been paying them back for a year? Didn't you only borrow about eight thousand dollars?""Well, those people are all a bunch of crooks. Their interest rate is very high to begin with, and they even tampered with the contract. I fell for their trap out of carelessness, and I can't pay them back regardless of how hard I work now. That's the reason the debt keeps accumulating."Queenie smiled bitterly and continued, "By the way, last night, a rich guy wanted to take me out, saying that he'd give me fifteen thousand in exchange for spending the night with him. I hesitated for a long time, but I rejected him in the end. But that doesn't change the fact of how scared I was of myself…I'm worried that I'd one day give in to the temptation of money."Severin nodded. "I see. Alright t
"Wait a second…you have a wife now? Didn't Uncle Maurice say that Aunt Judith and your wife were both worried about you?" As the three of them walked out of the bamboo forest, Queenie recalled something and could not help but ask Severin with a puzzled expression.She clearly had no idea that Severin already had a wife. All she knew was the gossip that Severin had gone to the wedding of his ex-girlfriend Lucy to make a fuss only moments after being released from prison. However, she did not know the full details of it. Her creditors had been pushing her a lot recently, so once she found out that Severin had been released, she called Judith and Maurice but was surprised when the call could not get through. Her first thought was that Severin had run off with his parents as soon as he was released because he did not want to pay back their family's money.After all, many people were like that.Severin smiled indifferently. "Well, I have a wife now, and lots of things happened when I lea
Queenie felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders because Severin could finally help her repay the nine thousand dollars she owed. That would mean she would no longer have to worry about those guys causing trouble for her again."You need to squeeze in a bit, I'm afraid." After Severin returned to his seat, he said to Queenie who was about to get in the car."Don't worry! I'll carry Selene!" Judith immediately carried Selene over and hugged her in her arms. "I didn't expect that woman to be you, Queenie!"After Queenie sat in, she smiled awkwardly at Judith and said, "Aunt Judith, it was all thanks to Severin that I was saved from those horrible perverts..."Severin smiled and then made a short introduction. "By the way, this is my wife, Diane. Honey, this is my cousin, Queenie. She's the daughter of my aunt, Marie. She and her family helped my parents a lot in recent years.""Hello, Queenie!" Diane turned around and smiled at Queenie.Queenie looked at Diane in the f
