After venting it out, Edward tried to suppress his anger. "What did you guys say just now? You are asking Severin for help? Is Missus Catherin sick and needs Severin to save her? Or she will die?"Felicia said, "No, no, no! That's not it. Catherine is doing fine and very healthy. Do you know about Liberty City? We don't actually have a chance to participate in it. But Severin has a good connection with Mister Henry. So we hope Severin could put in good words for us to get us to take part in the project. Severin assured us he can do that."Edward's face looked sullen after hearing that. "He did save Mister Henry last time. But Mister Henry has already rewarded him with the villa and he probably received money from Mister Henry too. Otherwise, he won't have the money to buy cars for you guys. I think that reward is more than enough to cover the medical bill. Shouldn't he be content with that? Hmph! I don't think Mister Henry would agree to it!"He continued angrily, "He is so shameles
After what happened today, Edward finally realized he could not count on Felicia and Megan to persuade Diane. Not when the Shanahans were expecting Severin to get along with Mister Henry and maintained a good relationship with the Longhorns.Diane had explicitly said that she would never give him a chance too. If that was the case, there was only one option left if he want to have Diane - kill Severin. Once Severin died, he would take the opportunity to console Diane when Diane was heartbroken and gained her affection.Jada, Easton, and Lucy were thrilled to hear that. They had been desiring to kill Severin but they did not have the power to do so. The reason they were seeking help from Edward was they hoped Edward would do it. They would only rejoice once Severin is dead."Mister Edward, you're right. Without Severin in the picture, everything will be solved. Diane would surely fall in love with you!" Easton said quickly.Lucy also shared her opinion. "We women know each other the
However, Edward remained quiet without saying anything."Three hundred thousand dollars? Is it really that expensive?" Easton asked.He had never gotten in touch with any killer organization before so he did not know the market price. From where he sees it, he thought he could hire an assassin for less than a-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars. It shocked him to know it was going to cost three hundred thousand dollars."How ignorant can you be? It's three hundred thousand dollars!" Edward gave Easton an impatient look."The combat power of a three stars assassin is like the common assassin. They are powerful fighters. Do you think it's going to be cheap?" he said."Isn't it a little too expensive?" Jada frowned.If it really cost the amount Edward said, it meant Easton and her needed to pay a million dollars each. It was a lot of money even for a young miss from a reputable family like her.Easton smiled embarrassingly. "Mister Edward. I'm from a normal wealthy family and not ev
The rosy cheeks on Lucy's shy face attracted Edward even more.'She's not prettier than Diane but damn, her body is a bomb. Just look at how big her boobs are,' Edward thought.He smiled evilly. "Haha. Miss Lucy, we are not a child anymore. Do you really don't understand what I said? Don't worry. I'll definitely not tell Easton about this.""But-but it's not right. Mister Edward, I think we shouldn't do it. I'm not that type of woman!" Lucy claimed.She looked at Edward's handsome face. The thought of how Easton was unable to fulfill her hit her. She was starting to incline to Edward's suggestion.However, she was afraid Edward would think she was too easy to get. Thus, she pretended to be restrained and reject him.Edward saw right through her and knew she was just pretending. He started his car engine and said, "I know there's a five stars hotel around here. I heard their bed is really very nice. Let me show you…""Mister Edward…" Lucy frowned but did not actually reject it.
"Be gentle, Edward. How am I going to face Easton if you're rough with me?"Lucy and Edward exchanged a few words, and before they knew it, there was a pile of clothes and shoes on the ground.…Elsewhere, at the Shanahan Corporation, Stanley felt extremely upset after being demoted.Previously, he had the luxury of doing whatever he wanted when there was no work to do. He tended to enjoy himself outside of the company and was rarely in since he had told the company employees to call him in the event that something required his immediate attention.However, things had since changed because he had been removed from his position as general manager and demoted to being a manager of a department. Furthermore, it was Diane—the one person he hated most—who had taken over his duties as general manager. If she found out that he had snuck out to enjoy him, she would probably give him an earful again."Tch, it irks me that someone like her was given such a powerful position!" Stanley lamen
Stanley was incredibly angry, but he could only suck it all up when facing an intimidating Diane. After all, he knew that it would be of little benefit to him if he caused any trouble."Yes, ma'am. You have the final say now that you're the general manager!" In the end, Stanley could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger."I'm glad you're aware that I'm the general manager! Remember to knock on the door the next time you wish to come in!" Diane remembered as she watched Stanley turn around and prepare to leave.Stanley walked to the door, turned around, and shot Diane a cold look. "Don't be so smug, Diane. I trust that Grandma adores me more than you. Besides, the launch of the Liberty City project is in a few days' time, and if Severin hasn't secured anything for the Shanahans by then, do you still think your position as the general manager will remain secure?""I have nothing to worry about because I believe in my man!" Although Diane was not very confident that things would
At that moment, Severin's reaction was like that of a despotic warrior who had experienced countless bloody fights."Those two people are despicable to the core!" Queenie smiled awkwardly, and then changed the subject. "But you now have a young and beautiful wife, a well-behaved daughter, and you live in such a big villa! It's something many people dream of but can never get!"Severin smiled unconsciously when he thought of Diane and Selene. "Yeah, I didn't expect God to give me such a wonderful surprise. I never thought that a drunken mistake on that fateful night would end up giving me such a good wife and a lovely daughter!" His smile grew wider and he felt a warm fuzzy feeling in his heart as his entire body softened."Drunken mistake? What do you mean by that? Are you saying that Selene really is your daughter?" Queenie froze for a moment before asking confusedly."Of course! Whose daughter did you think she was?" Severin answered without hesitation."Wait a second! Five year
"What's going on? This anxious behavior is unbecoming!" Henry looked at the man in front of him and asked impatiently.In his opinion, anyone who was part of the Longhorns—even the servants—should keep their calm at all times. They were a first-tier family, after all."Our people just got news that the people from Draco Hall are taking over the Cedar Gang's property. Had we not investigated further, we wouldn't have found out what really happened. Apparently, the Cedar Gang had initially set a trap for Larry and Blade of Draco Hall by inviting the two of them to a meal. In a sudden twist of events, all of the Cedar Gang's strongest men were killed by Draco Hall!" The man then said."Are you saying that the Cedar Gang had been subsumed into Draco Hall?" Henry stood up as soon as he heard that. "This is quite huge indeed, so much so that it will usher in a change in Brookbourn's landscape!"Charmaine frowned and could not help but mutter, "Draco Hall won't do anything to Severin, wil
