Shayna knew that Severin saved Winnie because she had gone out to answer a phone call before Winnie and Severin went upstairs. Nevertheless, she still asked intentionally, "Who's this handsome guy here? Is he your boyfriend? He's quite the charmer! Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"Winnie blushed instantly and rolled her eyes at Shayna before saying, "What are you babbling about? We just met!"Severin has been silently observing everyone there, and though the guy named Calvin was a little anxious at first, he seemed to be instantly relieved after hearing Winnie's explanation.Severin could tell that Calvin might have feelings for Winnie."For real, Winnie? This is supposed to be a gathering between friends. Why'd you bring him when you both just met? Are you trying to pull our leg or something? Why are you so shy to tell us that he's your boyfriend? Do you plan to keep it a secret?" Another man asked with a smirk, and he seemed to lack any sort of tactfulness whatsoever.S
Severin could tell that Wesley was the richest among the five, which would explain his domineering character."You're just joking, right?" Winnie was similarly aghast that one of her friends was the culprit. After all, she was very close friends with them because they all grew up together. Even so, she felt that Severin made perfect sense because she went there only after receiving a phone call, and the only people who could have known that she would be there were the five people in the room.Severin look at Shayna and said, "Me? Talking nonsense? Well, the easiest way to know is to show us your cell phone! I believe you would've contacted the person who tried to kill Winnie before she came here."Upon hearing that, Shayna was terrified and immediately said, "Who do you think you are? And why should I show you my cell phone? I have to right to privacy!""Hehe, you wouldn't be afraid to show it to us if you have nothing to be afraid of. Why do you look so guilty?"Severin chuckled.
"Ah, I've had it with you!" Shayna froze when she saw that the phone was caught in her hands. It could not have been humanely possible for anyone to react in such a short time, yet Severin—by all odds—managed to catch the phone.In that instant, Shayna felt as if her entire head was buzzing. Had it not been for Severin's sudden appearance, Winnie would have been dead already, and she would have already had the upper hand. She rushed forward to try and smack the phone off Severin's grip, but he was not about to her give her another chance. With a slight push, Shayna fell to the ground.Winnie was stunned when she looked at the call records on the phone. She never dreamed that the last person Shayna contacted was a contact that was named 'Assassin'. Then, when she looked at the chat records on Shayna's messaging apps, she saw a conversation discussing the various plans to kill her, and there was even a seventy-five thousand dollar bank transfer made to the other party! Her eyes turne
Calvin could only sigh. His longtime feelings for Winnie were an open secret, and he felt that there was no reason for him to persuade Wesley against it because Shayna had almost killed the love of his life.However, Winnie persuaded Wesley kindly. "Maybe you could just let this one slide, Wesley? We could just stop being friends with her from now on!"Wesley, however, said, "I know that you're her good friend, but you need to be objective here. She has her mind set on killing you, and if you don't nip this in the bud now, she'll do the same to you again in the future!" Though Winnie still wished to protest, Shayna stood up and threatened Wesley. "Are you sure you want to go ahead with this, Wesley? How condescending of you. Hahaha! Sorry, but I recently got to know a godbrother who treats me really well. He'll come for you if you kill me!""Godbrother?" Wesley frowned instantly when he saw that Shayna seemed to be telling the truth. After all, his family might be strong, but he w
Wesley's expression was gloomy, and it was clear that he was wary of offending Humbert. After giving the situation more thought, he said to Shayna, "Just leave and act like we were never friends, Shayna.""Hehe, what's the matter? Are you scared after finding out that Humbert is my godbrother? Weren't you acting like you're oh so powerful earlier?" Shayna chuckled and had an extremely smug look on her face. "I have no issues sparing your life, but all of you will have to kowtow three times to me! Then I'll leave. If you don't, it takes just one call from me to let you feel Humbert's anger!""Don't go overboard, Shayna! I'll kill you right now to show you what'll happen if I'm cornered!" Calvin looked at Shayna disappointedly. "I never expected you to be so evil!"Shayna then said, "Blame yourself for rejecting me when I confessed my love to you last night. Since you're so in love Winnie, then my only choice is to kill her! Without her in the way, you would have fallen in love with m
"Umm…" Wesley frowned. It was clear that he was still a little worried.Severin smiled and said to the waiter, "Well, since the food's already been ordered, then go ahead and serve them up! I'm famished!" He then walked over to find a seat and sit down.Winnie went to Severin's side, suppressed her sad emotions, and said to Severin, "Thank you, Severin. I wouldn't have known that Shayna's such a terrible person if it weren't for you, and even if you saved me today, she might try to find another chance to kill me in the future!""Yeah! She was so good at pretending, and we're lucky that Severin was observant enough to see through her. It's always these quiet, scheming kinds that are the scariest!" said one of the other two women.Wesley then apologized to Severin. "I'm sorry for the earlier misunderstanding, Severin. We were all fooled by Shayna!""Don't worry about it, folks. I always go the distance when it comes to helping others. I couldn't bear to see her act in front of all o
"Oh dear, Shayna. Who would dare to bully you? Don't worry, I'll bring some men there and beat him up until his face is unrecognizable!" Humbert coaxed Shayna immediately on the other end of the line.…At that moment, the food has already been served in the VIP room and there was also plenty of red wine on the table."Here's a toast to you, Severin! I would be dead by now if it weren't for you today!" Winnie raised her wine glass and said to Severin.Severin clinked glasses with her, poured some wine for himself, and said to Wesley, "Come on, everyone! Let's wish Wesley a happy birthday!""Yeah, Wesley! Happy birthday! Although some unpleasant things did happen earlier, you can't let it ruin your special day!" Winnie urged him.Wesley smiled bitterly and said, "Thanks, everyone. Cheers."Though they all began to eat and drink, Wesley was still a little worried. After all, if Shayna could do something as despicable as hiring someone to kill Winnie, then there was every possibili
"You…" Calvin struggled to get up, covered his face, but he did not dare to go forward again because he knew that Humbert was a ruthless person who killed without batting an eye."Mister H-H-Humbert! Have a c-c-cigarette!" Wesley's lips twitched a few times and he could only take out his cigarettes with a smile as he stepped forward to pass it to him.However, Humbert shot him a cold look and did not bother to pick it up at all."Didn't you try to show off earlier, Wesley? Why are you such a scaredy cat now?" Shayna smiled coldly.She then looked at Winnie and Severin again, "What do you think, Winnie? Told ya I had a godbrother, hahaha!"Winnie's eyes were red and she looked at Shayna while saying, "I'm so, so disappointed in you, Shayna. We didn't do anything to you, did we? We let you go, and you still wanted us dead!""Haha, that's where you're wrong. I don't want all of you to die, just you and this Sever-whatever-his-name-is. He deserves to die the most because he ruined my
