"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
"Haha, this isn't an issue of whether we look down on Chevys. Did you even stop to have a good look at where you're at right now? We recognize almost all the homeowners here, and the cars that they drive are either Porsches, Maseratis, or Ferraris! The value of the cars they own could reach millions!"Another security guard sneered and chided in agreement with his colleague. "Oh, and there are those who drive a Rolls-Royce too! Honestly, this is the first time we've seen someone drive a Chevy and claim to be a homeowner here!""What's the matter? Isn't he going to leave? Hey, pal, it's obvious that you drove to the wrong place!" Another security guard came over and began to urge Severin to leave too."He says he owns one of the houses here. Don't you think that's hilarious?" The fat security guard from earlier said with a hearty laugh."Severin, did you go the wrong way? The houses here are very expensive!" Judith looked at the villas in front of her. They were all huge, detached u
Meanwhile, Easton was just as infuriated and clenched his fists very tightly when he knew that Severin was the driver. Having bumped into him less than a few hours after the ruined wedding, he felt as if the world was too small a place.When Severin saw that Easton was there too, he got out of the car and asked, "What's the matter? Are you going to try and beat me up again?""I…You…" Easton was so overwhelmed with anger that he felt like strangling Severin to death right then and there. Having witnessed Severin's fighting abilities that day, however, he knew that he would never be a match for Severin. In the end, he could only keep his composure even though he was already teetering on the edge of exploding with rage."Don't be impulsive again, Severin!" Judith was worried that her son would offend Easton again and immediately got out of the car to stop him."Is this the hothead you guys were talking about earlier?" The stylishly-dressed woman frowned at Severin and asked the group.
"Haha, bravo, Severin! I can't believe you took advantage of Mister Henry's lunch treat and stole the keys to his villa! You probably know that they don't live here, so you swiped the keys off him and planned to live here yourself!" Easton laughed even more after hearing this. "I've seen many shameless people before, but none as shameless as you!"Lucy taunted him too. "Being poor drove you nuts! I don't think it's too far-fetched that you went and stole a key. I mean, you did ask my family to return the dowry." She then turned to the three security guards in front of her, "I think you should know that he extorted a hundred and ninety thousand dollars from me today. I bet you would've been tricked into letting him in if he came here in a better car, like an Audi or maybe a BMW. Luckily for you guys, he couldn't bring himself to spend any money and bought such a low-end car!"Jada agreed too. "She's right. If you let someone like him in and he ends up stealing stuff from the villas, I
The head of security turned around and said to Easton, "The management has already called the Longhorns, and we've confirmed that Mister Severin was given the villa to stay in!""Given…"Easton unconsciously took a few steps back. He started to doubt his existence when he heard that Henry had given such a valuable residential property to Severin."That…that can't be. This expensive villa was given away?" Lucy's mouth was wide open and she could not bring herself to believe what she heard. The villa was worth more than ten million, and it was a status symbol for anyone who lived there."Mister Severin, please forgive us for not knowing that you were keeping a low profile. It was also our fault that we didn't know the villa was given to you!" One of the three security guards was terrified and hurried over to apologize."Hehe, it's no biggie. You can't be expected to know everything, right?" Severin chuckled, and said, "Remember to enter my license plate number into your system later
