After flashing a forced smile to Severin, she turned to a young assistant near her. "Hey, Bree, will you be all right if I handed these customers over to you? You need to make a good impression since you're new and all!""Oh, sure, Miss Debra!"The young female saleswoman nodded, and then said to Severin and Diane, "Sir, ma'am, good afternoon. These right here are all our new models. You have a good figure, ma'am, and I think a person of your grace should try them!"Debra walked to one side and chatted secretly with two of the more seasoned employees. "Bree's pretty dumb, isn't she? I didn't think she'd be brave enough to accept those customers after I said I'll pass them to her. She's wasting her time with them!"Another of the senior employees said, "How can someone who looks like a farmer be able to afford our clothes? That was mean of you to pass them over to Bree!""Tch. You can't blame me if she accepts them. Did you see how respectfully she's explaining the new models to th
Edward was fuming with anger, which was to be expected given that he had been waiting several years for Diane. Furthermore, her parents' attitude toward him the other day seemed to suggest that they were in favor of the marriage. It was hard for him not to get angry when he saw Diane shopping with other men.Diane walked out in the beautiful dress, and at this moment, she looked even more angelic after changing out of her food delivery uniform. Even Severin was mesmerized by the sight of her.There were hints of elegance in her beauty, yet her cold temperament was still very much prevalent in her characters. Furthermore, her womanly nature was even more pronounced then, which could perhaps be attributed to her being a mother!"How do I look? Does it look pretty on me?" Diane felt a little embarrassed when she found Severin staring at her, and her face blushed slightly as she posed him that question."It looks divine! How could it not look anything but beautiful on you? It's almost
At that moment, the woman next to Edward sneered and said, "Are you that clueless, Edward? Do you honestly think that this woman can endure loneliness? She's probably the kind of woman who pretends to be chaste but slept with a lot of men in reality. These people are very good at putting on a facade, you know. There's a word for these women—hypocrites!""To hell with you. I don't care if you want to demean me, but don't you dare say that about my woman!" Severin clenched his fist again after hearing that. "You deserve a spanking!""Edward, look! This loser here wants to hit me!" The woman immediately hid behind Edward, but ironically, her expression seemed to warn him not to lay a hand on her.However, Diane pulled Severin forcefully and shot him a look that signaled for him not to be impulsive.She then stepped forward and said, "Do you think I'm that kind of woman, Edward? Besides, you have a wife, and yet here you are shopping with another woman and telling me that you love me.
"Screw you!" Severin fumed with rage. He could still tolerate it if other people badmouthed him, but the one thing he could never accept was hearing someone call his daughter a b*stard child!In a flash, he kicked Edward in the stomach and sent the latter tumbling to the ground."Ack!" Edward spat out a mouthful of blood. A shocked expression appeared on his face, as if bewildered at being kicked by a loser like Edward."Why is it so hard for you to keep your composure, Severin?" Diane was horrified because she knew that Edward was the scion of a second-tier upper-class family. While there was no doubt that she was just as angry at Edward for the things he said, Severin's reaction would only make things worse!"Honey, I can bear with many things, but hearing this son-of-a-b*tch calling Selene a b*stard isn't one of them!" Severin said angrily."Why are you guys just standing there? Beat him up!" Edward struggled to get up and ordered his bodyguards viciously."Mom, I'm scared!" S
"Y-yes, sir!" Bree was so frightened that her voice was trembling slightly. 'Who in world is this guy?' she wondered. 'He didn't even think twice before hitting Mister Edward.'Diane tried on several garments again, all of which looked exceptionally good on her."I'll take them all!" Severin smiled in satisfaction. He turned to Bree and said, "Could you let me know how much it all costs?""You're taking…all…of them?" Bree was taken aback. The most expensive set that they tried on cost upward of about ten thousand, and the cheaper ones were worth a thousand or so. In total there were seven or eight garments, and their price would almost certainly come to a total of well over forty thousand."That I am. Did I not make myself clear?" Severin smiled faintly."Isn't it a little excessive?" Diane found his gesture to be a little sweet because she never expected Severin to be so willing to spend money on her. Still, those five difficult years of her life made her feel that buying all tho
After buying some clothes for Selene, Severin bought two sets each for Judith and Maurice before finally choosing some clothes for himself.Diane looked at the outfit in front of her and analyzed Severin's body figure before suggesting, "This looks pretty good. Why don't you give it a try?""Sure!" Severin nodded and went to the fitting room right away.When he walked back out, Diane was briefly enthralled by what she saw. The saying that 'clothes make the man' was particularly apt in Severin's case. The handsomeness and tall stature that he possessed was further amplified when changed into better-looking clothes."Do I look good, honey?" Severin asked with a smile.His question finally snapped Diane back to her senses and she nodded. "It does, actually. You should buy a couple more since there probably aren't any nice clothes at home!""Okay," Severin answered with a smile. "I'll listen to whatever my wife says!"Diane felt a little bashful, so she acted coyishly angry and said
Severin began hesitating over which brand would be best.In any case, an Audi or something similar would be the least he should get since he already had a net worth of tens of millions. After all, if he continued to keep a low profile too much, he was worried that karma might strike back at him for his actions."Audi? Maserati? I think you've gone nuts after getting that little bit of money. That money you just got back was your parents' hard-earned money. Are you going to spend it all? Have you forgotten that your family still owes money to some of your relatives? I overheard your parents talking about it when I dropped by there once!” Diane lambasted him angrily. "Even if you have money, you can't just spend it like there's no tomorrow, you know? I only allowed you to buy clothes for me, Selene, and your parents, because I'm treating the entire purchase as you making it up to us. As for the car, you have absolutely no reason to buy one that's so expensive!"Severin felt a little a
"Maurice! I have bad news. Very bad news!" Judith rushed into the front yard in a panic while Maurice was resting there."What's going on?" Maurice was taken aback. He had no idea what was happening, but he could sense from Judith's flustered expression that something was gravely wrong.Judith panted heavily. "I went out to buy some groceries earlier and heard some people talking about some guy who caused trouble at Lucy and Easton's wedding today. There are rumors that the person known as Blade even showed up there with hundreds of men!""Do you mean to say that our son went there to cause trouble?" Maurice was quite frightened by what he heard. If that was the case, then there was a possibility that his son might be killed. After all, many people vanished without a trace after offending the Loughs.Meanwhile, Blade was the kind of name that sounded like bad news, and it was more likely than not that he was a person that should not be offended!"Severin was nowhere to be seen whe
