Stanley's eyes widened in anger when he heard that. "What do you mean his character is different from mine? What are you trying to imply about my character? He's the one who invited me here today, and there were two other women with me here earlier too. They've already left, but if you don't believe me, I can call them and ask them to come back and testify for me."William could not be bothered to argue with Stanley and decided to save his breath.Finally, Catherine said, "Forget it! Whatever happened doesn't matter anymore. The priority now is to avoid embarrassing yourself. Let's just pay up and leave." She then turned to Robert and asked, "We are a third-tier family after all, so we can still afford to pay the bill. Could you let me know how much is the total?"Robert immediately smiled at her. "Hehe, always the bigger person, ma'am. Our general manager offered a nine-thousand-dollar discount, so the total will now be sixty-six thousand.""Sixty-six thousand?!" Catherine's face
Felicia immediately added, "Yeah! We can't just listen to Stanley's one-sided story. You're his parents, so you of all people should know what kind of person he is. Don't ignore all his wrongdoings just because you want to protect him!""You…" Cherise gritted her teeth angrily and clenched her fists."Enough!" the old lady roared suddenly, sending everyone into silence.A cold expression appeared on her face as she asked Robert, "Could you enlighten us on what really went on?"Stanley folded his hands smugly. Robert and several wait staff saw what happened that night, as did the four B-girls. As long as they were called over to testify, then the answer to all those questions—especially whether Severin was there, whether he mentioned anything about treating them, and whether he had left with another woman—would all come to light!To his surprise, Robert smiled and said, "I'm not too sure, ma'am. One of our wait staff said that Mister Stanley made this order and requested four of ou
"Hall Master Larry! Why are you and Master Blade here?" Catherine knew that the Draco Hall had already taken over the Cedar Gang, and that they had reached a level where they were stronger than first-tier families but just slightly weaker than Brookbourn Mansion. Thus, it was only natural for her to feel a little anxious when she saw Larry and Blade.Larry said with a faint smile, "We have been drinking and chatting with Mister Severin in the next-door bar, and Mister Severin received a call from his wife asking him to come over. We were curious if something had happened at this late hour, so we decided to tag along!"When Stanley heard that, he clenched his fists and said loudly, "That's not possible! Didn't Severin leave here with a woman? He should be in a hotel room with her right now! Why is he drinking with the two of you? Wait! You just bumped into him not too long ago, right? How long have you been drinking?"Larry's expression turned sullen in an instant and he looked at St
Blade's violent temper erupted in an instant, and he took a step forward to grab Stanley by the collar. He raised it high with one hand. "Who do you think you are, slandering me like that? Do you want me to tear your limbs apart?""Oh, no, no, no! I wouldn't dare to accuse you! Please spare me, Master Blade! I never said that the two of you were lying!" Stanley begged for mercy right away. He was so scared that he nearly wet his pants!Blade threw him directly on the sofa. "Sure then. We can ask those girls once they come in later. I'm going to chop your hand off if it turns out that you're lying!"Catherine frowned and was a little confused for a moment. The anger present in Larry and Blade's expressions seemed to suggest that they were not lying. However, Stanley did not seem to be lying either, because it would have been very easy to expose his untruths if he had made the whole thing up.At that moment, the old lady did not know who was telling the truth. However, she had made a
"Lies…it's all lies…" Stanley could not accept what was happening and said with a stammer as he pointed to the girls.Blade, however, slapped him again. "Son of a b*tch! Are you still trying to argue with us? Are you accusing us of lying? Didn't Hall Master Larry already say that Mister Severin was drinking with us? You've got some balls trying to frame him!"Blood flowed out from the corner of Stanley's mouth, and he finally came to the realization that he would be beaten to death right then and there if he did not admit to trying to frame Severin. It was abundantly clear that Larry and Blade were both helping Severin, and neither of the two were people whom he could offend."I…I was wrong. I wanted to trick Severin on purpose. I knew he made a lot of money this morning, so I thought that he could help pay the bill since he has so much money..." Stanley lowered his head and said begrudgingly as he endured the anguish in his heart."Shameful! Just shameful!" the old lady shot Stanl
"Don't worry. I'll be there on time tomorrow morning!" Severin smiled and immediately followed Larry and the others out.Catherine also exited the premises after paying the money, and she had confirmed her suspicions as soon as she saw Severin talking happily with Larry and Blade.Everyone watched as Larry left, and Catherine smiled at Severin while saying in a praising tone, "It's all thanks to you that we managed to save thirty-three thousand!"Severin reciprocated with a smile. "Well, Larry is a very magnanimous person. He was very happy when I helped treat his mother the other day, and he now thinks of me as his brother too!"The old lady was even more delighted to hear what Severin said. "That couldn't be better. If we can maintain this relationship, then I believe that some of the first-tier upper-class families might not dare to provoke us on a whim in the future. They'll probably even show more respect toward us!"Felicia felt elated too, and she could not help but say, "O
Severin could not help but smile bitterly as he said, "You're as smart as I expected you to be, honey! Nothing escapes your attention!"Diane smiled and said, "My mom is a simple-minded person, so she won't think too deeply about what happened. Grandma, on the other hand, probably knows that things aren't as simple as they seem, although it's not that important anyway. Grandma might know that you've been to this bar, but she won't expose you because of your good relationship with Draco Hall. That's more important to her than anything else!"Severin nodded. "Well, the truth is, Stanley used to target you and your parents very often when you were kicked out of the Shanahans, right? He even put pressure on other people not to hire you, forcing you to take up a job as a delivery person! Since I had the opportunity to give him a hard time today, I jumped at the chance to do just that!"After a pause, Severin continued, "My plan was to offer to treat him to a drink, and then leave halfway
Severin could not help but smile awkwardly, because unbeknownst to Diane, it was Larry and Blade who wanted to hang out with him all the time."By the way, I think your mother is getting anxious. I'd better transfer the dowry money to her once I get home. It's not that much anyway!"Severin said after giving it some thought."Oh, it's not that much, you say? This is seven and a half million we're talking about! I think you're getting more arrogant now that you have more money!" Diane felt a little sweet in her heart when she heard him say that. She could not help but add, "By the way, are you really willing to give that much a dowry for me? Given the current circumstances, my mom did say that she's fine with letting us be together even if you just give her about four and a half million or so!"Severin smiled. "It doesn't matter. Your parents are a part of my family too. I'm good with it as long as they're happy, and besides, seven and a half million is peanuts to me!"After ending
