"But, Maurice…Severin hired the bodyguards for our own good. I'm not used to it either, but we both need to slowly learn to get used to it, okay?" Judith advised. "Severin would be worried if we don't have any bodyguards by our side. Didn't we always get bullied by Easton's people when they were sent to collect money from us? We don't have to be so scared anymore now that we have bodyguards with us!""Sigh, but it still feels so foreign to me!" Maurice could not help but sigh. He was a little speechless, after all, because it was very awkward to have two young and beautiful women accompanying him all the time."Okay, if you're still uncomfortable with it, then I'll hire some male bodyguards to protect you. That should be okay with you, right?" Severin could not help suggesting with a smile when he saw his father's uneasiness."But isn't that an even bigger waste of money?" After giving some consideration to Severin's idea, Maurice felt that it would be such a shame to spend extra mo
Frankie could not help but nod with satisfaction when he heard that. "Well done on your part, Carmen. We shall act tomorrow morning then. The conclusion of the opening ceremony is when their guard will be down, and when the time comes, the two of you will get a chance to practice your skills on that kid. Attack him simultaneously from left and right, and end his life right that instant. If he ends up overpowering the two of you, then I'll take matters into my own hands."Carmen and Leonard nodded with some excitement when they heard that.After all, they had been itching to find a worthy opponent to practice their abilities on after they reached a breakthrough in their training to the level of grandmaster. At long last, the chance that they had been waiting so long for finally came.The three of them got into the car, with Leonard getting into the driver's seat while Carmen and Frankie sat in the rear seat. Frankie had drunk some wine earlier, and he could not help but ogle at Carme
Victor, the head of the Stones, turned blue with anger when he thought of what happened the other day. He asked coldly, "I wonder whether Severin is still treating Larry's mother. Larry will have no use for him if his mother's illness has been cured. When that day comes, we'll just have our family's strongest bodyguards end Severin's life!"After a pause, Victor continued, "He may be powerful, but I'm confident he won't be able to go up against a lot of people. I don't think he'll even survive if we get more than two hundred of our people to attack him at once!"However, Jada smiled coldly. "There's no point, Dad. He's so powerful that we'd stand to lose many of our bodyguards even if they eventually manage to kill him. There's no need for that." After thinking about it, she said again, "Besides, didn't you always teach me we should always use money to solve problems that can be solved with money? Edward and I have already hired an assassin. We can just sit back and relax because his
Stanley was speechless for a moment. "What are you trying to imply, Severin? Why did you look at me at sigh?""I can see that your health is getting worse. Your face is a little pale, and you're physically weak too. Try to cut down on the time you spend at hotels and with women, or else your body will give way soon!" Having given that advice, Severin made a point to add, "By the way, you're aware that I have medical skills, right? Would you like me to prescribe some herbal supplements for you?""Hell no! I know my body well, and it's not weak!" Stanley gritted his teeth angrily and shot back, but in truth, he was a little worried because Severin's observations had been spot-on. He recently realized that he could not last as long in bed anymore, only a few minutes at most, and felt ashamed when Severin pointed that out.Although the rest of the Shanahans did not make any comments, they looked at Stanley somewhat oddly because they knew that Severin's medical skills were indeed good.
"Hehe, is that so? I'll keep my eyes peeled then!" Edward chuckled, but there was an underlying expression in his gaze. By his estimation, Diane would soon be his because Severin's days were numbered! Therefore, he viewed Severin's comments as nothing but a big fat joke."Haha, make sure you watch closely!" Severin laughed and did not take Edward seriously at all.Edward's lips twitched violently several times and he could only grit his teeth and say, "You should watch your step." He then turned to Diane and said, "Now's not too late for you to back out of your relationship with him. You'll regret it if you don't!" He left her a harsh reminder and then turned around and left without looking back.Over at the other end, the Chavezes had arrived too. When Rufus saw Severin, he gritted his teeth angrily and his face turned blue when he thought of the humiliation that he suffered a day ago. Manuel noticed his son's dampened mood and could not help but say, "How long has it been since th
Soon, everyone lined up to enter the venue, and the luxury cars in the plaza there stood out and attracted many an internet celebrity to either snap some pictures or do a live broadcast.Severin went in with the Shanahans, and everyone was either savoring some wine or enjoying some pastries in the lobby before the ceremony officially began. Some chatted with their business partners, while others struck up a conversation with the children of some upper-class families.Another first-tier upper-class family, the Zelankos, were in attendance as well. The daughter of the Zelankos, Robin Zelanko, looked at Severin and could not help herself from frowning. She then said to her father, "Dad, isn't that guy over there Diane's man?""That he is," answered her father, Harvin Zelanko. "Why are you suddenly interested in him?""I heard that Stanley Shanahan invited Charmaine Longhorn to a meal some days ago because he wanted to secure a quota, but his request had been categorically rejected. Ho
Severin was utterly speechless. 'Why does she have to be that excited? And to make things worse, she came up to me and gave me a hug in public!'"Keep your distance and stop hugging me. You shouldn't just throw your arms over a man, you know." Severin reminded her hastily, and he was afraid that Diane would be unhappy to see what happened."What are you doing, Sheila? You're a big girl now! This is unbecoming of you!" Zachariah walked over and glared at Sheila. She let go of Severin in embarrassment, walked over, and pulled her father over to make some introductions. "It's him, Dad! He's the savior I told you about! He helped me out big time yesterday!""Mister Zachariah!" Diane was taken aback at first and wondered why Sheila was hugging her man.When she saw Zachariah approaching them, she immediately looked over at him in surprise. Catherine and the rest of the Shanahans came over right away too, as they were curious to know what was going on at that moment.Zachariah nodded to
"I can't believe it. Sheila has always been a proud woman, and she ignored me when I asked her out several times. She even called me a toad who doesn't know where he stands! I was so angry when that happened! Seeing her take the initiative to ask a man for his number is just too unimaginable!" A fat man remarked angrily."That guy husband to the Shanahans' young miss, and I think he's the kind who lives off his wife. What else does he have to his name, other than being a pretty boy? I have no idea what Sheila sees in him."Many were envious, and there was an obvious hint of jealousy in their words."Go on, Severin! Hurry up and give it to her!" Catherine immediately winked at Severin. 'Is he stupid or something? Why is he so reluctant when the person who's asking for her contact number is none other than the young miss of Brookbourn Mansion?!'Severin had a helpless expression as he said to her. "What's your number? I'll give you a call!""Hehe, it's one-seven-six, zero-eight-thre
