"How many guests do we have? We should prepare two mansions for their stay!" Zachariah Ballard said excitedly."Then I'll take my leave!" Claude Emeraldo saluted and promptly left.The servants of the Ballard family working nearby were surprised when they heard the War Chief was visiting. The news quickly spread among the other servants. The next day, the other families in Brookbourn heard about the news."My goodness! The War Chief Valerian Sutcliffe is visiting! I heard the families are inviting him over for dinner! It would bring a great reputation to have him as a dinner guest! That renown will also bring in good business!"Having heard the news, Catherine Shanahan discussed it with Diane, Severin, and the rest of her family."War Chief Valerian is coming?" Severin muttered to himself.He knew Valerian could get his men to escort Keagan and Linette. There wasn't any need for him to do it himself. He was a little surprised by how things turned out."Yeah. It's rare for a cele

As everyone parted ways after the discussion, Severin and Diane made their way to their car. However, as they exited the main hall, they noticed a bodyguard running past them."Madam, Sir! We have visitors from the Emerald Cloud Gang!""The Emerald Cloud Gang? Why are they here for?" Catherine Shanahan frowned. "Oh well, they're still our guests. Let them in!"Claude Emeraldo appeared with some of his men carrying plenty of boxes. After knowing Severin's true identity, he didn't dare to butter Severin up. He decided it would be wiser to start earning favors from Catherine instead. He felt rejoiced when he saw Severin and Diane. Having Severin around to witness his tribute to Catherine would be killing two birds with a stone."Claude Emeraldo, at your service. Madam Catherine, I represent the Emerald Cloud Gang to congratulate your family's ascension to the second tier. Here's a set of jade ornaments, gold bullions, one pair of gold earrings..."A servant working for the Shanahans

Claude Emeraldo was relieved when Severin accepted his gift. However, he also knew Severin was just being humble when he extended his friendship. After all, Severin didn't need his help.Knowing that Severin was trying to hide his identity, he decided to play along. "Haha, of course! We must help each other in times of need!"Stanley and George, who were watching nearby, exchanged glances. Their lips twitched as they shared the same thought."Severin and Claude have rarely dealt with each other. Since when are they on good terms?""Mister Emeraldo, please have a seat. I'll get the servants to prepare lunch for you. We're honored to have you as our guest, so let's have a couple of drinks!" George said."Haha, I'm thinking of the same thing too! We should have a drink or two!" Claude laughed as he followed George inside the house.Severin packed up the box and turned to his wife."Honey, I guess we'll have to postpone our trip home. I'm afraid I can't turn down his offer to drink

"Dad? Y-you're letting me play with my handsome Severin?" A shocked expression ran across Sheila's face. She had plans to sneak out of her home, but she was afraid it would anger her father. She didn't expect her father to have a change of tone. What a surprise!However, Sheila didn't immediately put down her guard. "Hehe, are you testing me?""Testing you? I recently have a better impression of Severin. If you can find a way to become his wife, I think that's a good idea too!"Zachariah thought Severin was more than what he seemed. He was impressed with Severin's ability to mobilize a powerful force with a phone call, his friendship with the War Chief, and also having Draco Hall under his thumb. Compared to the other young men in the city, he would be the best son-in-law he could ever ask for."Dad, you've changed!"Sheila looked at his Dad mischievously, and realization dawned upon her."Oh, I see what's going on now. Severin made a phone call to ask a friend to save my dear co

"Miss Ballard? That's a surprise! I must inform the Madam of your arrival!" One of the Shanahans' bodyguards recognized Sheila. After all, she was popular among the bodyguards."They're having lunch now, aren't they? You don't have to inform them. I'll meet them myself!""Miss Ballard, please let me escort you. They're having lunch at the Madam's house. There's a crowd there, and even Mister Emeraldo is there too!" The bodyguard said as he happily led the way."Mister Emeraldo is here too?" Sheila was surprised, but she didn't ask any further about it.The two finally arrived at the courtyard in front of Catherine's house. There were a few tables laden with food. The guests are already seated and prepared to have their meals."Can you spare a set of dining utensils, Madam Catherine?" Sheila said jokingly."My goodness, it's Miss Ballard! What brings you here? Come, have a seat. You should've told us you were coming!" Catherine was happy to see Sheila."Well, I was just shopping

It was the first time Sheila presented a gift to Diane. She was afraid Diane wouldn't be happy about it. After all, even though she bought gifts for everyone, her intentions were still too obvious.Diane received the gifts with a smile. "Thank you, Miss Ballard. They're beautiful. I like them!""Come, have a seat here!" Diane ordered her attendant to place a set of utensils and a stool on Severin's other flank."Thank you, Diane!"With the both of them seated beside Severin, Sheila thought Diane was generous for making that arrangement. That was why Severin loved his wife. She was such a saint!"Diane, I'll bring your presents inside!" Megan was gathering all the gifts the Shanahans had received from Sheila."Sure!" Diane nodded as she passed her gifts to her sister."Ahem. Miss Ballard, you're too generous. You've brought us so many gifts, and we don't know how to repay you!"Severin sat down and raised his glass. "I'll give you a toast!"It was Sheila's first time drinking w

Everyone was in a good mood, especially the Shanahans. Having Sheila Ballard and Claude Emeraldo visiting their estate meant their family was becoming more significant. At that rate, they had a chance to become one of the first-tier families in the city.Catherine Shanahan was in a good mood too. While she usually wouldn't drink much, she had two glasses of red wine that afternoon."Come, let's drink!"However, nobody expected Sheila Ballard to get drunk that soon. Even though she had already lost her composure, she continued filling her glass."Miss Sheila, you're drunk. You must stop before you knock yourself out!" Diane tried to advise her."I'm not drunk. I can still drink. I can drink a lot!" Sheila struggled to keep her eyes open as she mumbled.Severin felt the situation was getting out of hand. Sheila had already finished two bottles of red wine. Despite her claims, the headstrong girl couldn't hold her liquor. How was Severin supposed to explain what happened to her fath

"Uh..."Diane and Megan exchanged glances and didn't know what to say. It was also embarrassing for Diane. She had to watch another woman shamefully hug her man."Miss Ballard, please watch your conduct! Let Diane and Megan help you to a room to rest!" Severin tapped Sheila's shoulder. He was getting more and more furious.After all, he was losing face in front of his in-laws, family and friends, and especially his beloved wife. However, he still had to hold some restraint on her. After all, Sheila was still the precious daughter of the powerful Ballard family. He couldn't push her away by force, so he could only convince her to let him go."Mmmm...no! I don't want to! I want to be with you. I like you so much." After Sheila mumbled a little, she fell asleep on Severin's lap."She's drunk! Don't take her seriously!" Severin looked at Diane and his in-laws as he tried to defend himself."Severin, maybe it's best you bring her inside. At this point, you're the only one who can help
