"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
Furthermore, the dress that she was wearing did not look cheap at all. Maurice and Judith's first thought was, 'Did my son get together with a rich woman in just one day?'Severin smiled and said, "Yes. She's the one who gave you money every month...""Diane! Please have a seat." Maurice smiled awkwardly and did not know what to say next. He was still stunned to know that his son had left the home as a single man earlier than morning and suddenly came back with a wife and daughter later in the day.Judith pulled Severin to one side and Maurice immediately followed them too."What on earth is going on here? You need to give us an explanation! She's quite a pretty young woman, but isn't it a little too sudden to have a wife and a daughter? Is she a divorcee?"After thinking for a while, Judith could not help but say, "Will she even like us when we're so poor?"That was when Severin explained everything to the two of them."I see! So that's how it is. This is the Shanahans' eldest
"Yes, that sounds good. From today on, we're a family!" When Judith heard Diane calling her 'mom', she felt overwhelmed with excitement in an instant. "Agh, I didn't know that my daughter-in-law and my granddaughter were coming today, so I didn't buy much groceries today. I'll head out right away and get some more!""Oh, sure!" Maurice could not have been happier too. Diane was a very beautiful woman, and she was also born as the eldest young miss to a well-known family in the Shanahans. It was truly a blessing that Severin had the chance to marry someone like her."You don't need to go out again, Mom. We'll be moving elsewhere anyway, so let's eat out for dinner tonight!" Severin stopped her as soon as he saw Judith heading for the door.That was when Judith finally reacted. "Yeah. We should eat out tonight! Wait…did you say we're moving? Where are we moving to? And where did you get the money for this car?"Severin went to the rear of the car, took out the woven bag, and opened i
"Okay, okay. Let's not talk about that anymore. We'll just take half this money then. You two can take the other half!" Judith finally said after giving it some more thought."That'll work too. We still owe Aunt Marie's family money, don't we? I'll just use our half to pay back the debt!" Severin nodded.He then said to his parents, "It's getting late now, so why don't we just move to our new place right away? It's not like there's a lot of stuff to pack up.""What do you mean there's not a lot of stuff to pack up? I'd still like to bring a few more clothes!" Judith hurried in."Is the place you're renting far from here? If it's not, you guys can drive and I'll go there on my bike!" Maurice seemed to think that Severin had rented a better place because he did not want his family to live in an old and dilapidated house.Severin was speechless for a moment. "Just leave the bike here, Dad. I have money, so you don't need to feel like you have to be frugal in the future. You're both a
