"Gunther, Ariel, why don't we change the venue?" said Archie.Ariel was not happy about the whole thing. "I don't mind if it wasn't for the fact that we've already sent out the invites yesterday. Imagine what our guests would say once they've found out we've changed the venue."After thinking it through, Gunther said, "Ariel is right. The guests might think we don't have the money to have the wedding at Bloomington Hotel if we suddenly change the venue. So how about changing the date instead?"At that moment, Severin suddenly smiled and said, "You're right, Mister Gunther. It'll look bad on your family if you suddenly change the venue. How about if you postpone the wedding by a day or two? You can just tell your guests that the hotel staff has made a mistake with the booking."Archie smiled bitterly. He thought the same way too. In the end, he smiled and said, "Yes, that's what we'll do! We'll postpone the wedding by a day or two."Severin heaved a sigh of relief and then said gen
"Yay! This is great, honey. We just saved millions of dollars on the wedding!" said Ariel happily. "And all we have to do is to tell our guests that the wedding has been postponed by two days. That's little work for a few million dollars!""Yeah, we're lucky to have met a guy who's so generous as to foot the bill for our wedding," said Gunther, who was grinning from ear to ear."He's not only generous but also very particular in what he does as well!" said Archie with a smile. "With his connection with the Shanahans and Miss Sheila's backing, he could just have asked us to give up the venue with no compensation given. At least that's what anyone else would do but he came up with a win-win solution so I dare say he would go on to do great things for sure."Ariel frowned. "Dad, don't you think you're praising him a little too much? Mister Severin doesn't seem to be famous. In fact, I never heard anyone talking about him at all.""Well, that's where you're mistaken. Mister Severin is
Megan's jaw nearly fell to the floor. "Oh my god! Isn't this diamond ring and this diamond necklace the one the company used for advertisement? They're really one of a kind and they insisted on not selling it!" she said in shock."Yeah! I saw them on the TV a few days ago. They said they would never sell it so how did you get it?" Felicia was shocked too."Severin, this must have cost you millions of dollars!" Megan took a gulp before continuing to say, "You certainly have balls! I can't believe you have the money to afford something like this! Looks like you really love Diane huh? Even I'm jealous at how lucky she is!""Stop talking nonsense, you silly little girl." Diane did not know Megan and Felicia were so shocked so she quickly took Severin's phone, only to find her jaw falling to the ground as well. "I heard about this diamond ring and diamond necklace before. The necklace is called 'The One' while the ring is called "And Only'. The company said they would never sell these b
Megan was not the only one who thought he was bluffing. Felicia, too, rolled her eyes at him and said, "Haven't you heard of the saying 'Honesty is the best policy' before? You better tell us the truth now or else we won't go easy on you."Severin smiled ruefully and looked toward Diane. "Draco Hall is actually mine. I'm the real hall master there!"Diane nearly burst out laughing but after thinking about it, if what Severin said was true then he would have twelve halls under him, which would definitely shock Megan and Felicia. They would then think he was lying to them again and that was why Severin only brought up Draco Hall.Even so, both Megan and Felicia were so shocked that their jaw nearly hit the floor!"No way is that true! Are you really the hall master of Draco Hall?" asked Megan. She did not know what else to ask since she still could not really believe his words.Diane smiled and said, "What he said is true. If not, do you really think Larry would have so easily hande
"M-My d-deepest apologies, M-M-Mister S-S-Severin..." The woman lowered her head and started to tremble. She very well knew that people like her could never afford to provoke a man who could easily drop a deposit of 7.5 million without a second thought. Her fear was evident from the way she spoke.Severin's expression immediately soured. "What's the meaning of all this? Are you saying that you won't be selling me the pieces that I intended to buy? I dropped a deposit for them early on!" His aggressive expression startled the woman into a kneeling position to appeal for a different choice. "I'm begging you, Mister Severin! Please choose a different ring and necklace!""Stand up and tell me what's going on! I don't want others to think that I'm bullying you!" Severin's expression turned into one of distaste. Aside from paying a deposit for the necklace and ring, he even boasted to Diane, Felicia, and everyone else about what he did. Knowing Felicia's character, she must have already st
"Phoebe, you say?" Severin had an icy disposition as he immediately left the premises and drove to the Bloomington Hotel.Soon, Severin arrived at the downstairs lobby."Mister Severin, why are you here?" The hotel staff greeted him with a smile after seeing Severin showing up there. The previous day's incident, whereby their fat colleague was fired immediately and the manager was replaced, remained fresh in their minds. Judging from Sheila's tone at the time, Severin might likely become Sheila's husband in the future, which meant that he would be their boss. As a result, everyone was smiling and bowing respectfully to Severin when they saw his arrival.Severin could perceive the difference in their attitude toward welcoming him compared to the previous day. He could not help but smile bitterly as he asked, "Could you help me look up in your records whether someone named Phoebe checked in last night? I'd like her room number please, and give me an access card too while you're at it.
After putting on her nightgown, the woman asked, "Who are you? And why do you have an access card to my room? How could the staff just hand it to you like that? I'm going to lodge a formal complaint!"After Severin heard her remark, he chuckled. "Think of this as my hotel. I have the final say in Brookbourn, and if I wanted to kill you, you would have been dead long ago!""Who are you? I don't remember offending anyone like you!" Phoebe looked solemnly at Severin. The man before her was a frightening individual whose attainment was surely much higher than hers. The way he spoke was quite haughty too."I was the one who paid the seven-and-a-half million dollar deposit! I want the necklace and ring!" Severin could not be bothered to beat around the bush with her and said directly, "In eight days, both the necklace and the ring will have to be worn by my wife!""Hehe!" Phoebe laughed. "They're not with me now though. Both pieces are still at the company's headquarters. However, I have
Severin did not expect such threats to from Phoebe and slapped her without hesitation. "And who do YOU think you are? You're just a small regional manager of And Only Jewelry Corporation in the south county. How dare you show such arrogance in front of me?""You..." Phoebe glared angrily at Severin. After all, the And Only Jewelry Corporation was a powerful force under Dracodom's most powerful families. That was also the reason that she could do whatever she pleased and had a sense of superiority even though she had a low grandmaster-level attainment. It never would have occurred to her that the man from such a small town would dare to beat her up.However, she could only grit her teeth and suppress her anger because she knew that even the most powerful of people would find it difficult to control the lower-life scum. It would certainly do her no good if she was killed by him out of displeasure."Spit it out! Who is the buyer? I want to know who it is that I can't afford to offend!"
