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!"
"I haven't notified the other three yet, so just pass on the message to them for me. I won't call them one by one to inform them!" Severin said to Beryl after some thought."Don't worry! I promise I'll let them know!" Beryl said excitedly."By the way," Severin then said, "I do need your help with one other thing!" Severin said."Say the word! I won't back down even if it means having to go through a valley of swords and a sea of fire!" Beryl replied without a second thought."Ahem, it's not that serious!" Severin then smiled wryly and said, "I'm sure you know the And Only Jewelry Corporation, right? Tell them to send the necklace and ring set called 'The One And Only' back to me! I ordered it in advance, but they seem to be trying to curry favor with the South County Mansion by delivering the jewelry to South Link City at the expense of breaking the agreement they had with me!""How dare those insolent fools treat you like that? I swear I'll make life difficult for their family!"
[Eight days from now? Awesome! I'll be there!] Horace was excited after seeing the news.[Haha, we'll have to raise a glass to our master, because we wouldn’t be where we are today without him! Let's bring glory to him!] Warren said excitedly.They all had a great time chatting and it was one of those rare times where the group was so lively.…"Haha, it's so amazing for us that The One And Only was sold to South Link City's South County Mansion!" At that moment, several members of the Sanchezes had big smiles all over their faces in a mountainside villa. However, their old patriarch Sergio Sanchez, had a frown as he said, "Even though we've earned an extra forty-five thousand, I still feel sorry for our client in Brookbourn. We can't change the fact that they made the appointment well in advance!"At that moment, his son Carlito Sanchez smiled and said, "You're overthinking, Dad. We're businessmen, and the job of a businessman is to make money. Besides, Brookbourn is small, and
Sergio racked his brains to try and figure out when did his family offend someone like Beryl."Dad, what, what should I do?" Carlito, who had initially thought that he could take charge of everything, was so frightened that he was at a loss as to what to do. In the end, he could only wipe off his cold sweat and look at his father for directions.Sergio said, "What else can we do? They demanded our presence, so what other choice do we have except to go? Heck, I think we should be heading there as soon as we can!" After a pause, he added, "I hope it's just a misunderstanding, and that she mistook one of our family members for someone else who offended Beryl.""Yeah! Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding! We're not idiots who would offend her willy-nilly. Besides, didn't you already instruct us to keep a low profile and be more mindful of the way we carry ourselves?" The middle-aged woman from before echoed Sergio's sentiments after some thought."Hey, you guys carry on with your mea
