"Thank you for your magnanimity, Mister Severin. We'll be most happy to attend your wedding if we have time to spare." Dietmar accepted the invitation and said with a bow, "Please excuse us for now then, Mister Severin. Thank you again!"Severin waved his hand to indicate that they were free to leave."Isn't it beautiful, ma'am? Is this The One And Only? We heard that this was the only one that existed in this entire world!" Abigail and the other girls looked enviously at Diane.Diane felt sweet in her heart and nodded with a smile.Severin took the box, smiled at Diane, and said, "Come on, honey! Let's go upstairs and give it a try!"Diane felt incredibly happy as she nodded. "It still makes me a little nervous to think about wearing such a precious item!"Severin could not help but laugh and say, "Why should you be nervous? Your husband is rich, and I don't think it's expensive at all. I couldn't be happier to see something so beautiful being worn by my wife!"After ending his
The man, Mason Neely, frowned after sensing that something was not quite right.An old man then came up to him and said, "Don't worry, sir. The And Only Jewelry Corporation wouldn't dare to offend us. After all, they have much to gain from having a good relationship with us!"Mason nodded. "Indeed. After all, they've already agreed to sell it to us instead of that guy from Brookbourn!""Hey, Dad, don't you think Rachel is going to look beautiful with that necklace and ring?"At one side of the room sat a greasy-lipped fat man who had just bitten down on his huge chicken drumstick. That man was Mason's eldest son. Sitting beside Horus was Mason's second son, Yoel, who could only smile wryly and sigh. He disapproved of his father's approach, but he did not dare to object because Mason doted on Horus more.Yoel and Horus were half-brothers, and Yoel's mother—despite her dislike of Mason—was forced to marry him some years ago. She continued to date her lover despite being married, and
Yoel said, "But the folks behind the And Only Jewelry Corporation are the Sanchezes, and it's not like we can mess with people like them. They have many strong fighters in their family, and they're quite far from us too! These people won't be easy to deal with!" After a pause, he continued, "Why did they change their mind at the last minute, Dad? Could the person who ordered the item from Brookbourn be more powerful than us? Are the Sanchezes more worried about offending them compared to offending us?"Mason frowned too. "This is very strange indeed. I asked Carlito about it earlier, and all he said was to forget about the two pieces. He told me that the person in Brookbourn was the one who paid the deposit first and that neither we nor they are in a position to offend that person. I was asked to just give the matter a rest, and we will be allowed to choose other products from their store with a complementary forty percent discount!""I don't care about the discount! I want that thin
When Yoel heard that, he immediately persuaded, "That's not a good idea, Horus. It'll be very bad for our family's reputation if anyone finds out what you did. How about we just buy it at a higher price?"Horus's expression soured instantly and he retorted, "What's wrong with that? The item was supposed to belong to me, but that person from Brookbourn took it from us! Isn't it just for me to snatch it back? It'll be an even bigger disgrace to our family if I don't get it back!" Having ended his sentence, Horus could not help but smirk as he glared at Yoel and said, "Or could it be that you're jealous of me? After all, my wife Rachel is a beautiful woman, don't you think? You're just jealous of me for marrying such a beautiful woman! Didn't you stop me when I wanted to marry her the other day? I think you're in love with my woman too!"Yoel was utterly speechless. Rachel did not like Horus at all, and she only accepted his marriage proposal under Horus's threats and duress. During tha
Horus arrived in Brookbourn later that night and got off the plane with his men. As soon as he arrived, he saw the advertisements on the entire city's bus route maps as well as some of the buses."This Severin guy is getting married in seven days too? Is he the same person who snatched my necklace and ring?" Horus could not help but frown when he looked at the photo in the advertisement."Help me find out if any other rich kid is getting married on the same too!" Horus decided to instruct one of his subordinates, who immediately ran out to find out more about the situation.Horus stared at the photo on the poster in a daze, and after looking at it for some time, he could not help but touch his chin as he said, "I never expected there to be such beautiful women here in Brookbourn. It's a shame that she's going to get married soon. If not, I could always get her to marry me and turn her into my mistress.""Indeed, sir. Her beauty is on par with Rachel's and they're both extremely bea
When the owner of the car rental company heard that, the smile on his face froze instantly and he said bitterly, "That doesn't sound good. I wouldn't dare to offend someone like Severin!"Horus's face soured as he glared at the other party and asked, "Do I look like the kind of person that you can offend then?"The corner of the man's lips twitched violently a couple of times as beads of cold sweat began forming on his forehead. He said, "No, no! That's not what I meant at all! Maybe I can bring you to the area where he lives and then point out his house to you from afar. As for myself… Well, I won't follow you there!""Look at how big of a scaredy cat you are!" Horus grinned coldly and said, "Off we go then. You can just bring us to his residential area and tell us which one is his house!"The owner of the car rental company immediately breathed a sigh of relief and led the fleet of cars to Dragon Lake Vista. The owner stopped the car in the distance, pointed out which villa Sever
Diane felt a little rattled by those people. Although the item was incredibly beautiful and she fell in love with them as soon as she tried them on that day, she knew that South County Mansion was an existence that they could not afford to offend.Severin smiled at Diane. "Relax, honey. They won't be able to do anything to me!"Diane was speechless when she heard his response. Though she did not doubt her husband's strength, there were probably a lot of strong people in South County Mansion too, and her husband might not be able to handle them that easily."Know your place, kid. I'm already showing you a lot of courtesy here!" When Horus saw that Severin was reluctant to pay the bill, the corners of his mouth twitched violently a couple of times. "I've told you that I'd rather do things the easy way than the hard way, but since you're not going to show the same courtesy to us, don't blame me for having to be harsh on you."A bodyguard also took a step forward and said, "Just take t
Their unreasonable remarks prompted Severin to sneer and say, "Am I supposed to just let your men hit me without fighting back? Where's the rule that says only your people are only allowed to attack?" After a pause, Severin continued, "I was already kind enough not to end his life right then. After all, you did show some courtesy to me instead of attacking me right away, so the least I can do is stay my hand a little!""Son-of-a-b*tch! The amount of disrespect you've shown to me is unacceptable!" Horus had never been so deflated in all his life. He glared at Severin and threatened, "You'll regret this."He then waved his hand and said, "Attack him all at once!""Yes, sir!" All the other bodyguards charged forth, leaving only the level one warrior king standing there beside Horus. That warrior king felt that he did not need to join the fray when there was already an abundance of men attacking Severin."Hmph. Did you think there weren't any fighters here?""Do you think we're pushov
