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

Severin never expected that Sheila would ask such an awkward question in public. After figuring out a way to diffuse the situation, he immediately changed the subject and asked, "You were given a prearranged quota too, right?"Sheila merely smiled. "Yeah, it's decent. The Longhorns gave us two spots in advance, and both locations are very good too. Aside from that, we're mainly here to officiate the ribbon-cutting. Once that's out of the way, Mister Henry will announce the number of quotas, starting with those that have been prearranged, and ending with those that have secured their approval based on the latest information given."Severin nodded. "Well, that sounds great!""Welcome one and all to the launching of the Liberty City project! The ceremony will start soon, so may I please invite everyone to come and take their seats!" An attractive thirty-something emcee announced loudly on the stage.The guests all set down their glasses of wine and walked over quickly to find a seat.

The emcee had a smile on her face as she announced the last two spots."What?! The last two were given to the Shanahans? They got two?!"Sure enough, the audience began to whisper among themselves."What's going on here? Wasn't the Shanahan Corporation on a downward slope when Stanley was the general manager? Don't you feel strange that Diane has secured two of the prearranged quotas after assuming the position of general manager for only a few days?" Someone then insinuated.Victor and Jada, who was in the vicinity, happened to hear that remark.Victor was stunned for a moment, and she felt that it was a good time to turn public opinion against Diane. With the thought of his humiliation the other day still fresh in his mind, he deliberately raised his voice. "You never know if she's a good rider, if you know what I mean. Good-looking women are usually even more experienced! I think Diane must've used some underhanded ways to get what she wants. Maybe she has some sort of secret r

"Holy crap! Severin must be ridiculously bold to punch the head of a third-tier family like the Stones!"Some people were so shocked that their mouths were agape and they could not believe that Severin would dare to hit Victor."Ah!" Jada was so frightened that she took several steps back and covered her mouth in disbelief. Victor fell to the ground and had a nosebleed."What are you doing, Severin? How can you punch the head of the Stones? Aren't you going to apologize to him?" Catherine was terrified and shouted at Severin, mainly because it brought them no benefit to offend a third-tier family and might even be disadvantageous because there was a possibility that they might retaliate in the future. Secondly, they were at the launching of the Longhorns' project, and the fuss Severin made was tantamount to disrespecting the Longhorn family. He might as well just slap one of the Longhorns after what he did!"God, he's so handsome! I like a man who takes a bull by the horn!" Unlike

Gideon then said straightforwardly, "It seems to me that you were the one who began to stir trouble at the launching, and Mister Severin here only punched you because he was angered by your unfounded accusations. What did you intend to achieve by making that remark?""I…I didn't! I'm being wrongly accused here! I didn't mean to provoke him!" Victor was taken aback by what was happening and hurriedly cried wolf. "I just think that it's a little odd for the Shanahans to get two spots when Diane had just only resumed her position as general manager. I just made some off-handed remarks, that's all! I didn't make any sort of insinuation!""Tell your men to chase Victor, Jada, and the rest of the Stones from this venue," Gideon said to the head of the bodyguards. "Their prearranged quota in the Liberty City project will be retracted and given to Brookbourn Mansion!"Gideon had earlier realized that there were only two spots given to Brookbourn Mansion, and it seemed a little out of place

Jada, who was standing beside Victor, complained to him. "Why did you have to be so stupid, Dad? It's all over now. We lost the quota that originally belonged to us, and worst of all, we offended the Longhorns. Our life will only get more difficult from today on."Victor protested, "I thought I had a good relationship with Gideon, and that he'd come and help me. And besides, my remark wasn't straightforward at all. I just hinted that Diane got the two quotas even though she just became the general manager. It's up to other people to think what they want to think.""You might as well have just spit it out after what you said. People aren't idiots, you know." Jada was even more speechless as he said to Victor, "Why did you feel the need to do that when we've already hired a four stars assassin? For all we know, the assassin will probably arrive in Brookbourn by today or tomorrow, and Severin will be dead by then! Your actions just caused us a tremendous amount of loss, Dad!""Damn it!
