Life After Prison Chapter 272
As soon as Claude and the others left, Zachariah and several of the Ballards' elders fell silent in the room.After some time had passed, a middle-aged woman said to Zachariah, "Sir, I think Claude has a point. We need to be wary of Draco Hall!"Zachariah nodded. "Indeed, we do, but I'm afraid that we shouldn't mess with Draco Hall. If Brookbourn Mansion joins hands with underground forces like the Emerald Cloud Gang in dealing with Draco Hall, our reputation and image would be tarnished if word gets out! Moreover, Draco Hall did not commence any further action after absorbing the Cedar Gang."The middle-aged woman thought over Zachariah's words and said, "Sir, the upper-class families hand over ten percent of their income to us every year, don't they? How about we raise that by double? The councils in other cities mostly request a twenty percent contribution from the upper-class families, and this makes us seem a little too merciful.""I agree, sir! We might have a wealth of funds

"Yeah, Dad! He's a talented guy! Leave this to me. I'll find a way to make him the head of our bodyguards or something like that. We can offer him a high salary!" Sheila said with an innocent grin.Zachariah responded with a chuckle. "Hehe, you have a crush on him, don't you?"Sheila's cheeks turned red right away, but she still said coyly, "Nonsense, Dad! I just feel like making friends with him after he saved me. I think he's a really interesting person too, since he refused to accept my money after I saved him!"After saying that, Sheila frowned, turned around, and put her hands behind her back before saying confidently, "More importantly, he doesn't ogle me at all even though I'm a beautiful woman! It's the first I've ever met a man like that!"Zachariah was well aware that the precursor to falling in love with someone was showing an interest in them.He frowned, looked earnestly at Sheila, and said, "I'll admit that he looks like a very decent guy, but if you don't have a cru

It was due to Zachariah's old age—leading to his weak physical condition and waning fertility—that he doted on Sheila even more. It therefore came as a huge surprise to Sheila that her father would even consider marrying her off to a family in Riverson.Zachariah said, "Riverson is a big place, with an area that is more than twice as large as Brookbourn. The grass there is greener, and their first-tier families are even stronger than Brookbourn Mansion. Your life will forever be free of worry if you could get married to a family there." After a brief pause, he added, "And that's not considered far by most standards. Riverson is only an hour or two away from here by car, and we also have lots of properties and villas there. If you move there, you can come back to visit me any time. More importantly, our assets will be better utilized and developed if you marry there!"Sheila smiled coldly. "What do you mean by that, Dad? Are you using my marriage as a means to bring you more benefits?

The middle-aged woman nodded. "Indeed. He ruined our plan, and killing him is the right thing to do. I didn't expect Fifth Elder to fail in doing so!""Let me go this time," said a bald man. Standing at a height of six feet, his arms looked like dragons because of his bulging arm muscles and he had a rather gruff voice as he spoke."Since you're a level seven grandmaster, I believe that you won't face too big of a problem if you went, Fourth Elder!" Tharran looked at the bald man and felt that he was a good candidate indeed. After some more thought, he said to the bald man, "However, I think it's better for you to bring a few grandmaster-level protectors with you as well!"The bald man nodded. "Sure. There's strength in numbers, and our opponent will have to divide his attention when fighting. This will be a big advantage for us! I'll choose five of our guardians to join me, and I, Janvar Runge, will be the one to decapitate Severin's head!""It's settled then. The expenses you inc

"I'm sorry, honey. A big chunk of the responsibility falls on me for what happened that night, because I slept with you knowing that I might be apprehended the next day after smashing the bottle over Easton's head. I didn't think you'd pregnant after that, and I never thought that it'd bring you so much pain and suffering!" Severin held Diane's hand, and said sincerely, "Don't worry. I'll try my best to make it up to you!"Diane smiled and said, "I still hated you when you were released, but everything that happened in the past few days has shown me that you're a good person, while Lucy and Easton are anything but. Perhaps this is what they call fate."Severin digested her words and asked again, "Do you still blame me now?"Diane shook her head. "I don't blame you anymore, because you've proven yourself as a good father and a good husband. I can see that you're a capable and responsible man instead of a useless good-for-nothing. I'm very satisfied with that!" After saying that, Dian

"Alright, it's getting late. We should go to sleep!" Diane lowered her head shyly and added as an afterthought, "I'm beginning to like you more and more now, and you have no idea how scared I was when I saw those assassins attacking you today. I was afraid something would happen to you, and that I'd lose you!"Severin felt even happier to hear that and could not help but take the opportunity to say to Diane, "How about I stay by your side tonight, then?"Diane immediately rolled her eyes at Severin. "What's on your mind, huh? Do you want to get it on with me after knowing that I like you?""No, it's not like that at all! Why would I have such lewd ideas? I'm not a pervert!" Severin said embarrassingly. "Hmph, all men are liars. How am I to know if you're a pervert or not?" Diane snorted coldly and withdrew her hand.Seeing as there was no chance for him that night, Severin stood up in disappointment and walked toward the door. "It looks like I'll have to sleep alone in an empty r

Severin knew that it would be unwise to rush things, especially since he was dealing with a cold and generally reserved woman like Diane.Before long, the two of them were lying on the bed, and Diane felt so nervous that she deliberately turned to sleep on her side so her back was facing Severin.When Severin saw her movement, he could not help but say, "Honey, can I hug you from behind while we sleep?""Okay," Diane replied softly, but she became increasingly nervous deep down.Soon, Severin's hand stretched out from behind to hug her waist. His firm chest was placed against her back, and her heart beat a lot faster than before. All sorts of wild thoughts began racing through her mind. The two of them spooned each other to sleep and soon drifted into a slumber.…The next morning, Selene went to Diane's room after freshening up, opened the door, and went in."Whoa! Dad's sleeping with Mom too! Ehehe!" She could not help but cover her mouth and giggle when she noticed the way he

By the time Severin changed his clothes and went downstairs, Selene had already eaten and was playing in the yard. Judith and Maurice had heard Selene shouting earlier, so they both exchanged glances and had a knowing smile when they saw Severin come down.Maurice said to Severin, "I've passed my first course of driving class, and I'm starting the second course tomorrow. I heard that automatic transmission is easier, so I enrolled in the automatic transmission class. Once I've passed, I can drive the Chevy out and bring your mother out on a road trip!""Sure! Good luck, Dad. Road trips are pretty tiring though, but I hope you get to enjoy your time with Mom once you've mastered how to drive!" Severin couldn't help but smile after hearing this.Judith then said happily, "The medical prescription you gave me works. Look! Can you see my white hair slowly starting to turn black from the roots?"Severin smiled and said, "That's great news! I'll list down the herbs for you again. Just so
