Sheila frowned at once. He did not know why Catherine would want to speak to her in private, and in such a secretive manner too. Nevertheless, she still followed the old lady to the so-called quiet place.The old lady then let go of Sheila's hand. "You like Severin, don't you, Miss Sheila? It's pretty obvious to everyone!"Sheila blushed as soon as she heard that, and it appeared that everyone remembered what she said when she was drunk the previous day. The thought of what happened made her so embarrassed that she felt like digging a hole in the ground and burying herself there. She nodded shyly and said, "I do. I like him very much, and I tend to miss him a lot after I haven't seen him for a day. But he always keeps a distance from me, and it makes me super mad! It makes me feel like I'm unwanted, and that I'm the one who keeps having to woo him!"The old lady was secretly happy when she received Sheila's acknowledgment. "We asked Diane a question this morning to find out if she w
"Do you mean to say that he has feelings for me?" Sheila felt a glimmer of hope when she heard Catherine's remark.The old lady nodded. "There's always hope. It's harder for a man to win a woman's heart than for a woman to win a man's heart. You can succeed as long as you remain determined."Sheila seemed to realize what the old lady was implying and said, "Are you saying I'll have to continue pestering him?"The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, indeed. Severin views you in a positive light, but that's not enough to push him over the edge and be impulsive. If you keep strengthening that feeling in him and amplify it even more, triumph will be within your grasp in no time!"Sheila was even happier when the old lady said that, and she remarked excitedly, "Okay, ma'am! Thank you so much! I feel so much more confident right now!" She then walked happily toward Severin after saying that.As soon as Warren saw Sheila approaching, he immediately stopped talking to avoid letting Sheila hea
Severin then said to Sheila, "Why are you telling him to scram? He's the bodyguard to Mister Valerian, and if I recall, he stood very close to Mister Valerian when we welcome their arrival, which means that he's no ordinary bodyguard. Aren't you worried that he'll be unhappy because you chased him away?""H-he's…Mister Valerian's bodyguard?" Sheila did not think much of the man at first, but she inhaled sharply as soon as she heard what Severin said. After all, she had no idea what would happen if Valerian's bodyguard was offended by her. She then looked at Severin, and then asked in a somewhat fearful manner, "But he's just a bodyguard, isn't he? I don't suppose it'll affect anything, will it?""I can't say for sure. He must have a good relationship with Mister Valerian if he had the honor of standing right next to him. Perhaps they are closer than you think, and he might be Mister Valerian's confidant too. What if your actions offended him and he tells Mister Valerian all about the
"Ah, so you're afraid that your looks will scare me, is that it? Guess you're more ugly than handsome, otherwise, why would you be afraid of showing me your face?" Sheila completely forgot what was her initial intention of going there and folded her hands in front of her chest to provoke the man.After all, the more averse he was to showing her his face, the more curious she became about how he looked without those huge sunglasses. Judging from how tall he was and the way he dressed, she could tell that he was a handsome man and was even more curious about what his face looked like."Hehe, if you think I'm ugly, then so be it! I won't show my face to you anyway!" Warren chuckled and was not fooled by her at all."You..." Sheila was completely speechless and stretched her hand out to take off his glasses again, only to see the man take another few steps back."Ah!" Sheila did not expect to slip and fall forward into Warren's arms.Though Warren's first instinct was to dodge her, sh
After searching everywhere and finding no trace of Severin, Sheila decided to ask her father about it. That was when she found out that he had already left with the Shanahans!"Ugh, why did he leave so quickly!" Sheila pursed her lips and said angrily.…It was already past four in the evening by the time they reached home. At that moment, he saw a beautiful woman standing by the road outside the villa, which reminded him of the arrangements he had that night."There's something I need to attend to tonight, honey, so I'll have to go out for a bit!" Severin eventually told Diane."Okay. Don't come home too late, though, and make sure to go to bed earlier! Mister Valerian will be visiting tomorrow, and Grandma wants us to be there early tomorrow morning! There will be a lot of guests, and we'll have to help welcome them!" Diane reminded Severin.Severin was speechless for a moment and said to Diane, "Going there a little earlier isn't a problem, but it's not like I'll be of much he
"The Blood-Drinker Gang's second elder?" Severin frowned immediately after hearing this."Yeah, his name is Menkel Wagford, and he's an old man whose attainment is about the same as my dad's. They're both level seven profound masters. He's stronger than my dad though, and he's a big old pervert too!"Candy was clearly a little angry when she mentioned the phrase 'old pervert', and she even clenched her fists involuntarily.Severin could not help but ask curiously when she saw Candy's angry look. "How do you know he's a pervert?""Hmph, if Mus Hall were pushovers and my dad wasn't the hall master, his hands would probably be all over me long ago! He always has this lewd expression on his face whenever he ogles me!" Candy explained.Severin smiled. "Well, since he's coming too, he'll be dead before the end of the night!""Hehe, I'm so glad to hear that from you, sir! My dad and the others will probably be here soon!" Candy's mood improved much more after thinking about Menkel's dea
The old wacko never told Severin that whoever wore the ring would become the supreme leader, and he felt as if he had been given a huge headache with the responsibility of handling such a force. After all, the force established by the old wacko was divided into twelve smaller ones, and Severin did not have the faintest idea where the rest of them were."Hehe, it's hilarious when you say that!" Candy laughed from the side. Before long, the two of them reached a famous nearby restaurant, and they prepared to enter the premises as soon as the car was parked."It's been a while, Severin. What a coincidence!" To Severin's surprise, a familiar voice came from behind before he could enter the restaurant with Candy.Severin frowned immediately and turned around to see Lucy, who was holding Cain's arm."I didn't expect you and Cain to be here too!" Severin remarked while chiding them in his heart. Lucy was in Cain's embrace, and Cain had his arm around Lucy's waist. As expected, Severin kne
Severin looked at the fat man in front of him and persuaded, "You've been abroad for several years, Cain, and you don't have the slightest idea of Lucy's character. She's a scheming gold-digger extraordinaire! Did you really think she's with you because she fell in love with you? She just thinks you're rich! Better think twice before you're in too deep!" Severin paused for a moment before finally saying, "You'll one day regret being with her!"However, he did not expect Cain to hold such extreme views, for Cain smiled at Severin and said, "Regret? I won't regret it at all! I'm well aware that she loves me for my money, but I don't mind at all! It's because I have money that I can satisfy her vanity!" He even seemed a little proud when he said that. "I couldn't get her in the past because I'm not handsome, and I didn't have any money either. Things are different now. Even though I haven't turned into a handsome hunk, I'm rich now, and I'm content with having her! At the very least, I w
