"Oh, yes!" Severin was very excited to get Diane's approval."Calm down. Drive slowly!" Diane rolled her eyes. "Sigh. I have been quite busy lately. Why don't we eat out later? It's been a long time since we eat out!""No problem!" Severin smiled.Very soon, they arrived at home."Mom, mom!"When Severin and Diane were back at home, Selene came running happily at them into Diane's arms.Diane carried her up and kissed her cheek. "Have you been a good girl today?""Yes. Mom! Dad brought me to the amusement park this morning. It was so fun!" Selene said innocently."That's great!"Diane was very satisfied to see the relationship between Selene and Severin was getting better. It looked like she had made the right choice and her persistence was worth it. Especially after what happened today. She knew she could count on Severin to protect her and Severin was never a common person. Little by little, she had totally entrusted herself to him and accepted him."Dad, Mom. Diane said we
Edward smiled bitterly again. "When Diane terminated the contract with our company this morning, I knew something was wrong. Why would they terminate the contract with us when the project is actually making profits? Now I know she must have known about it before us!""Edward, what are you saying? Why are we going to be broke?"Dominic's face looked sullen. He believed in his son and his ability. All these while, he had let Edward be in charge of the family business. Thus, he had never expected to hear this from Edward.Edward explained, "Dad, the Zelankos, the Longhorns, and Brookbourn Mansion are joining together to oppress us. They stop cooperating with us and add insult to injury. Our suppliers are demanding to pay them now. We don't have enough cash at all!"Dominic felt like a slash of thunder had struck him. He was dumbstruck. This was a rare situation. It was not normal for those businesses to do this even when they were promised some benefits in return."When did you offen
"Diane, you're so beautiful!"The fair and delicate skin of Diane had set Severin on fire. He stood up and quickly went over to carry her to the bed. After being back for many days, Diane finally let down her guard and accepted him now.She got nervous when Severin hugged her. She grasped him tightly and said softly, "Be—be gentle with me!""Don't worry. I certainly will!" Severin smiled faintly and fell to the bed."You're like a bottle of wine that deserves to take time to enjoy and taste it!" he said."You're so bad!"Diane blushed and looked to the other side. Using that opportunity, Severin kissed her neck. Quickly enough, the room was full of romantic ambiance.It was late in the morning the next day when Severin woke up. Diane was still sleeping beside him. He kissed her and woke up her.Diane opened her eyes and smiled sweetly. "You were so mean last night. We did it twice and I'm so tired now that I can't even stand up!"It embarrassed Severin. "Well, my wife is just
At the same time, it was a hell situation in the Loughs.Trevor clenched his fist angrily. "Damn it! Damn it! The Horsfield ran away last night! They haven't paid me! What am I going to do about that?"The Loughs had nearly a hundred million dollars in total assets today. Quite a remarkable achievement for a business family. They had to thank the Horsfields because they had earned that money from the Horsfields by being their Original Equipment Manufacturer. Now that the Horsfield had left town, what were the Loughs going to do? Most importantly, the Horsfield owed the Loughs quite a large sum of money."Dad. What happened? Why would the Horsfiled suddenly leave the city?"The news came shockingly to Easton too. His cash flow was insufficient because he had to pay the fee for hiring assassins. At first, it relieved to know it was going to be the due date for the Horsfield to pay his family and he was going to get some money then.However, the Horsfield actually left the town last
"What? What did you say?"Upon hearing that, Trevor only knew Severin had done other things to his son.Lucy sneered. "Oh, he's not a real man anymore."Although Lucy said it discreetly, Trevor knew what she was saying."Damn him! F*ck him!" Trevor slapped his thigh. "But there's nothing we can do. He's too powerful. We're just sending our bodyguards to their death and there's nothing you can do if you go."Easton said, "That's why we hired the assassin! Oh, Mister Edward told me the assassin was here yesterday morning. I think the assassin is probably going to execute his mission either today or tomorrow. We hired a six-stars assassin this time. He's one of the most powerful assassins in the killer organization. I'm not leaving the city. I'm staying because I want to see Severin dead!"Trevor considered and finally nodded his head. "Let's sell all of our fixed assets. With that money, we can at least pay most of our debts even when we had no choice but to have the company declar
Lucy grunted painfully and got up on her feet. "Easton! Are you a man or not? How could you kick me? Sure enough, I was wrong. If I continue to be with Severin, maybe I'll have a better life. I was blind to choose you. It's bad enough you're poor but you're hitting me now!"Easton glared at her angrily and said with his gritted teeth, "Get the hell out of here before I convince myself to kill you! That villa and the car in the garage belong to me! Don't even think about taking them!""You—!"At first, Lucy thought about driving the car away because the car was quite valuable. Having heard that, she nearly suffocation in her fury.In the end, she took out the key from her purse and threw it on the floor. "I'm young and beautiful! And I don't give a damn about your damn car! Hmph! I can easily find a better man than you!"After that, she said nothing else and left. Yet, she kept on looking back while she walked toward the door as she was afraid Easton would kick her again."Mister
"Okay. Let's go."Severin nodded and drove to the Shanahan's estate. Quickly enough, they reached their destination. At that moment, George, Stanley, and the others were already there in the living hall. And so were Megan, William, and Felicia too."Hurry up. We're waiting for you two!" Stanley said impatiently when he saw Severin.After the night he got tricked by Severin, he held a grudge against Severin. He contacted Coco the next morning. She said she was drunk and fell asleep in the bathroom. Her explanation was her phone ran out of battery when Stanley could not get hold of her when he tried calling her.Stanley felt helpless. He knew she was lying but there was nothing he could do.However, Coco was very benevolent. After she received seventy-five thousand dollars from Severin, she gave the other girls seven thousand dollars each and told them to keep it a secret.Since Buttercup and Tina did not do anything, especially anything bad, they were happy to receive the money.
Everyone looked at Diane. It surprised them that Diane actually have the ability to foresee it.Diane smiled. "Severin was the one who told me. He is good friends with Miss Robin. I think maybe she had told him in advance."Upon hearing that, Catherin nodded satisfyingly. "Good. That's good. It's best if you are close with the Ballards."Severin smiled faintly. "We are now not just close with the Ballards. All I need to do is call Mister Zachariah and he will rush over here now immediately.""Bluff all you want!" Stanley gave Severin a disdainful look. He said, "Do you think you're really that powerful just because grandma complimented you? Maybe Miss Robin is really too blind to fall in love with you and maintain a close relationship with you. But does Mister Zachariah approve of you? Do you think you are worthy to be with Miss Robin? The difference between you two is just too big. Not to mention, you were once sent to jail. It's not good if the others find out about it, right?"
