Megan was stunned. "Of course, no! That's just impossible. You fell asleep right after you were drunk. Hoho!""That's good." Sheila smiled awkwardly. As a matter of fact, she was scared the Shanahans would gossip to the others about her drunk moment. That was going to be very embarrassing for her if that happened. Upon hearing the answer, she figured Megan and the others were not stupid enough to gossip about her. Soon, they exchanged phone numbers with each other before going downstairs."Hi! Miss Sheila, you're awake!" Felicia quickly got on her feet when she saw Sheila. "You have had one too many so I ask someone to bring you to the room to rest. Oh, your bodyguards are waiting for you outside."Sheila smiled gently. "I'm so sorry. I was too excited to see you guys for the first time and drunk too many than what I can handle.""Gosh, it's nothing. We are very honored to have you here with us!" Felicia smiled."Alright. Then I'm going to leave now. I'll look for Megan when I'm f
"Huuu!" Sheila exhaled deeply knowing that. "It's good then. I don't want her to dislike me! That means she is a magnanimous person. Not the narrow-minded person or the type of woman who gets jealous easily. Otherwise, I'm going to have a difficult life waiting for me if I married Severin in the future."The bodyguards exchanged looks with each other with weird faces. Shortly, Sheila arrived at her house.Zachariah was watering the flower in the garden. He frowned and asked when he saw Sheila. "Sheila, I thought you are not a fan of alcohol? Why do you smell as if you have taken a shower with alcohol? You went to look for Severin, didn't you?"Sheila nodded. "Yes, I did. He was not at home. Then I found out he was at the Shanahans. It was lunchtime so we ate together. I was happy and drank a few glasses.""I see." Zachariah nodded and said, "A girl must know how to protect herself when she is out on her own. It's better that you avoid drinking if possible. Besides, you know you can
Those two female classmates were Hannah Simpson and Sophia Ramsey. Although they did not have great wealth, they were white-collar workers and had financial independence. They were not as pretty as Lucy but their body was not too bad. Sophia wore a power suit that gave her a very sophisticated vibe.Hannah was slightly plumped. She had a round face and look very adorable. Dressed in a white top, her bust was very noticeable as she was a buxom lady."Hey, Hannah, Sophia, you girls came too! I haven't seen you two for a long time. Gosh, look at how fast the time passed."When Lucy reached the bar, she greeted Hannah and Sophia with a smile. Hannah and Sophia did not know Lucy's current situation. After graduation, Lucy got together with Easton. Ever since she was rich, she seldom contacted her classmate who was less wealthy. Thus, they did not know what happened to Lucy's life.Sophia smiled. "I remember you were very close with Severin when we were studying. How long have you guys b
"Whose car is that? I think that car costs around two-hundred-and-sixty-thousand dollars."Matthew saw it and looked jealous. "Sigh. I get paid quite well now but I don't think I can ever afford that car in my life. I still need to work hard to save enough money to buy a house. Otherwise, I'm going to have trouble finding myself a wife.""It's Severin?"Soon, Hannah discovered Severin was getting out of the Audi. She was so surprised she had her mouth wide open."Severin is beyond your imagination now. The villa he lives in is worth nearly a-hundred-million dollars. I think he's keeping a profile low driving that car," Timothy said."What? He's that rich?"Hannah and the rest were astonished by the information. They did not even dream to live in a villa that was worth nearly a-hundred-million dollars. How long had Severin been back? Why was he so rich?"You guys probably don't know how powerful he is now. He's in a good relationship with the Longhorns, and the Zelankos. I also h
When Lucy asked that question, Severin shrugged his shoulder and said, "Yes!"After that, he remembered something and said to her, "Oh. My wife told me the Horsfield took all their money and left the city. If I remember correctly, they were the main source of income for your husband. I wonder what the situation is with his family now that the Horsfield fled the city."Lucy's mouth twitched and said with a stone-cold face. "I have nothing to do with Easton anymore. I broke up with him.""You broke up with him!" Severin chuckled. "To be honest, it's not that surprising. I mean he's broke now. Sooner or later, you're going to leave him. But shouldn't you say divorce? Why did you say break up instead?"Severin still remembered very clearly how cruel and cold-blooded Lucy was to him. She refused to return the dowry he gave her. She and Easton even took the matrimonial house Severin bought dishonestly and sold it at a low price to Easton. Furthermore, she requested his parent to pay for
"But I…"Lucy looked at Severin. She bit her red lips and looked down grievingly.Quinn could not bear seeing her best friend getting hurt. She pulled Severin to another side and asked, "Severin. Did you love Lucy before?"Severin nodded. "Yes but that was in the past!""Look. Lucy had specifically dressed up to come to see you tonight. She really regrets it now and she is trying to get back together with you. You guys were together for three years. Now she finally knows the person she loved the most is you!" Quinn said.Severin smiled sarcastically. "Quinn Janssen, you're so silly. Do you know how I endure the five years of jail? I looked forward to the day I finished my sentence. I thought her family and her would take care of my family and my parents when I was in jail."He continued ironically, "But I was too stupid. She didn't wait for me. She didn't look after my family. I can understand all that because I was sentenced to ten years of jail. I don't expect her to wait for m
Lucy smiled awkwardly. "No, no. I'm just overwhelmed to see so many old classmates all of a sudden.""Alright. Since everyone is here, let's go in. I haven't had fun in quite a while. Let's have fun and drink more tonight!" Timothy announced and gathered everyone."Yeah. Let's go in." Matthew nodded and agreed. They entered the bar."Good evening. What kind of room do you prefer? We have the standard room and…"As soon as they walked in, a server came over and asked.Quinn was going to say they would take the standard room. However, Lucy was at the front and she was so used to her lavish lifestyle that she said, "We want the supreme VIP room."Timothy and Quinn frowned. The minimum spending of the supreme VIP room was fifteen thousand dollars. Although this bar was an adequate size bar, the supreme VIP room was the best room there. The spending was not something they could afford. When they came with Easton, they were not afraid because Easton would be the one paying the bill. To
"Hey, Walter, aren't you a programmer?" I remember you have excellent programming skills. Are you still earning a few thousand dollars per month after working for so many years? Isn't that too little? I think you should totally seek a better opportunity. Your company pays you too little."Hannah heard that and expressed her opinion, "Look at me. I'm just a sales but I earn more annually. You are a grown man and you're earning just barely enough."Walter felt embarrassed. " I don't have a choice. I know my company is paying me too little and I know I can get a better offer if I look for a better opportunity. But I don't dare to quit as I like. I don't have any savings. I have a mortgage to pay and a family to feed. I'm not allowed to act as I like. I can't put food on the table if I quit and fail to find a job."Sophia chuckled. "You got married too soon. I remember you married your wife shortly after we graduated. That's what got you into this mess now. If you waited a few longer be
