"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
"Can I sleep on your bed tonight, honey?" Severin could not resist asking Diane when they went up to the second floor together.Diane's heart began beating quicker when she heard that, and she looked at Severin before saying, "You can, but you're not allowed to mess around! You reek of like alcohol too, so you should go and get a bath before you come to bed!""As you command, milady!" Severin grinned and went to his room to find a fresh set of clothes.Diane could not help but smile when she saw Severin's excited look. After taking a bath, Severin transferred four million dollars to Diane, before doing another transfer of seven million to Felicia."I wonder how Mom will react when she sees the money!" Diane could not help but purse her lips when she received the notification that Severin had transferred the money. Her heart was brimming with sweetness at that time.At that moment, she was wearing a very sexy pink suspender nightdress. When Severin looked at her, he could not help
It was natural for Severin to look forward to some intimacy with Diane since it had been years since he had been with a woman."The deadline is coming soon, so why hasn't Severin transferred the dowry money after earning so much today? Is he trying to delay it so he can avoid paying up? I will never let him be with Diane if he doesn't cough it up!" Felicia cursed incessantly just as she, William, and Megan had reached the Shanahan home.Then, she received a notification on her cell phone. She casually picked it up to glance at the screen, and what she saw frightened her so severely that she froze in place at that instant."One...two...three...four…five...five zeroes. The first digit is seven, the second digit is five…and then it's five zeroes after that…" Felicia counted carefully. After confirming that it was indeed seven-and-a-half million, she could not help but jump up excitedly. "Haha! Seven-and-a-half million! It's seven-and-a-half million! We've struck big this time!""Let m
