Life After Prison Chapter 218
"Wonderful! I heard that the food here is quite expensive, so by the looks of it, Severin has turned into a very promising young man!" Vincent smiled awkwardly and then took out the cigarettes he bought from a supermarket down the street. He distributed them to Simon and the others as he said, "Have a smoke, Simon! Enjoy the cigarettes!"Severin and Diane exchanged glances at each other. He had told Diane everything about his family's relationship with Vincent, and neither of them would expect him to be so shameless as to go there uninvited.Vincent probably only brought his family there after seeing Marie mention the Bloomington Hotel on social media, and to put it bluntly, they could be best described as a 'fair-weather' family."Come on in and have a seat! We'll get the waiter to start serving you food once we are seated!" Vincent was Severin's elder after all, and there was nothing Severin could do or say when Vincent was so thick-skinned. All he could do was welcome his uncle w

"That means Severin was the one who got Miss Diane pregnant all those years ago!" Gaston immediately put two and two together. He heard about what happened to Diane in the past, but he did not expect that the person was actually Severin.The waiter had already brought the dishes out by then, and the luxurious dishes were an eye opener for Clement, Vincent, and everyone else.Severin smiled, and introduced all his relatives to Diane."Alright, let's have a toast, everyone!" Maurice finally picked up the wine glass and said excitedly, "Sigh, I never would have dreamed that my son would turn out so promising that he gave us a huge eleven million dollar villa to stay in, and even brought us to this sort of place to eat such an expensive meal. I still can't shake off this dreamlike feeling I have!"Severin could not help but feel a little emotional when he heard that. As long as his parents were happy and could feel proud of themselves, he felt that everything was worth it.Judith rais

Halfway through the meal, Vincent had the cheek to go over to raise a toast to Severin.Since Vincent was his elder and Severin felt that it would be impolite of him to refuse, he had no choice but to smile and accept the toast. Unexpectedly, Vincent remained beside Severin rather than going back to his own seat, and he even bowed down with a smile. "Look at you. You're a rich guy now! A giant among men! Our family can never hope to reach such heights!"Severin frowned as he felt that Vincent was trying to imply something. He smiled and shrugged it off. "We're not that rich, Uncle Vincent. There are tons of people who are richer than us.""You're too humble, I say! If you ask me, you're as rich as they come!" After Vincent finished saying that, he seemed a little embarrassed as he said, "Sigh, things aren't as good now as it was before. Our house may be big, but its suburban location makes it quite a distance from the city. By the way, your cousin is thirty-two this year, and he fin

"You're not lending it to us?" Vincent's mouth twitched violently too, and his expression was such a delight to watch. He specifically thanked Severin in advance because he wanted to put Severin in a tight spot and force Severin into lending him the money out of a desire to keep up appearances in front of everyone. Although it was presumptuous of him, he did not mind doing anything as long as he could get the money.It did not cross his mind that Severin would refuse so directly as to leave absolutely no room for maneuver."Three hundred million isn't a lot to you, and this is the first time I've ever asked to borrow money! Aren't we close family? Why'd you have to say no?" Vincent still tried his best to smile, but his tone suggested that he was not very happy."Yeah, Severin, can't you see that your cousin can't get married because he doesn't have any money to buy a house? Don't you think it's a little mean of you not to refuse our request?" Vincent's wife had a sour expression at

"Thanks, Uncle Clement!"Severin smiled, clinked glasses with Clement, and drank the wine. However, he knew very well that any one of Gaston, Clement, or Vincent were much richer than him. The richest of all, Gaston, had a net worth of several million and even established a small company, but he still did not lend Severin's family a single dime when they needed it most.They could all keep dreaming if they wanted to borrow any money from Severin.By contrast, even the poor aunt Marie was able to fork out eight thousand dollars to lend to his family and help them constantly. Severin would remember that kindness forever and repay them for sure. His other aunt, Edwina, was poor too and stayed in a rented house. Her son graduated not two years ago and had to borrow money to go to college. Maurice and Judith were aware of Edwina's financial condition, so they decided not to borrow money for them during the past few years.Although Vincent was upset at not getting any money, he regrett

"No way, Severin. You're kidding, right? That's a whole load of money!" Evan was taken aback and wondered if he had heard wrongly. 'Is Severin really going to give all that money to me? I've never seen so much money in my life!"Why would I joke around with you?" Severin smiled. "Back to my question, will that be enough?" Evan gulped and said, "Yes, of course! It'll definitely be enough to buy a small three-bedroom house in the suburbs, and that'll cost maybe a hundred thousand. That, and thirty-thousand dowry, comes to a total of a hundred and thirty thousand. That's already more than enough!"After thinking about it, he then said, "I don't need that much. You can just lend me seventy thousand dollars. I'll give her the thirty thousand as the dowry and use the remaining forty thousand as down payment for the house. I swear I'll return it to you when you have the money again!"Severin smiled. "That won't be necessary. I already told you that I'm giving it to you, not borrowing it

"Haha, she takes after her cute mother of course!" Severin laughed. Diane secretly pinched his thigh in response.…After they all finished their meal, they went with Severin's to visit his villa. Everyone had a look of amazement as they arrived at the villa gate."This is peak luxury!""Yeah, this is huge! I now understand why this magnificent property is worth more than ten million!"The villa before them left them all dumbstruck."Are those six beauties Severin's bodyguards? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Are hot bodyguards all the rage now?" Gaston could not help but gulp when he saw those beautiful, young, and vivacious bodyguards. Some of them were even wearing sexy denim shorts that revealed their luscious long legs and left him feeling a little hot.He wondered to himself whether Severin was hiring bodyguards or lovers. After all, it made no sense for bodyguards to be that good-looking!After everyone had taken a tour of the house, Severin asked Evan to provide his bank account number

Gaston stood rooted to the ground as the corners of his mouth twitched violently. Borrowing money from the Emerald Cloud Gang was a foolish move. Their men were ruthless people, and he could not afford to provoke them.Besides, he asked to borrow money from Severin because there was no interest, and he could either pay it back slowly or perhaps even have the debt written off eventually. Had it not been for those two factors, he would never have asked to borrow money from Severin."What a d*ck. I got nothing after flattering him!" In the end, Gaston could only grit his teeth and drive away.…Finn's family arrived home very soon, and they were very happy when they recalled that Severin would give their family two hundred thousand dollars.Along the way, Evan could not contain his excitement and immediately said to his parents, "Mom, Dad, I'm going to meet Whitney and tell her that I can marry her now!""What are you waiting for then!" Edwina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw
