"Honey, what nonsense are you talking about? I really can afford to give your parent the amount I said. I want to prove to them that you did not marry the wrong guy. And I really want to throw you a wedding. I swear. Can you please trust me?" Severin put his hand to swear.The genuine look on his face did not show he was lying.Diane thought for a while and thought she had figured it out. "Oh, I know! Are you thinking about selling this villa? I think it costs at least twelve million dollars. The main thing is there are not many villas like this out in the market. I presume we can sell it at thirteen million dollars. Right?"Before Severin could explain, she continued, "Severin, if you are trying to prove yourself by selling this villa, do you think my parent will think otherwise of you? Leaving them aside, I will look down on you. Although this is a gift from Henry, do you think it is appropriate for us to sell it right after he gave it to us?"Severin did not know if he should be
Ever since Fabian Winter, the bank director, saw the figure in Severin's bank account, he had been suffering from insomnia. 'That amount of money! How could a person be able to save that amount of money?' he thought.It would be wonderful if he could keep a good relationship and connection with that man. The bad part was the man did not contact him even once after he gave the man his name card.While he was dozing off out of boredom in his office, his phone rang abruptly. It was an unknown number. He rejected the call immediately because he disliked having spammer call him. However, the same phone number was calling him again within a few seconds.Fabian answered the call. "Hello? Who is this? I'm not interested in taking a loan or planning to renovate and I don't…"Before he could finish his sentence, Severin sounded panicked. "Mister Fabian. I have a favor to ask. I'm Severin Feuillet.""Severin Feuillet? Who are you? Hmm, I don't remember your name. Do I know you?" Fabian tried
"Yeah! We're going to the amusement park! Hurray!" Selen was dancing and waving her hands with joy.As a matter of fact, Diane was still angry at Severin. Having seen this harmonious moment, her anger decreased a little. However, she still insisted to find out if Severin was bluffing. It was really hard for her to believe a generous man would teach him medical knowledge and martial art and also give him three hundred million dollars. Unless the generous man was an idiot.On the way to the bank. Severin was afraid Fabian needed more than 10 minutes to settle the bank card so he purposely drove very slowly.When they were at the bank, Diane said to Severin, "Look, the cash withdrawal machines are over there. We can go check the balance with the machine!"Severin frowned. 'I still haven't got the bank card yet. What should I do?' he thought.Luckily for him, Fabian had been waiting for him since a long time ago. As soon as he spotted Severin, he walked over with a smile and pretended
"Oh, yes! I'm going to the amusement with dad and mom! Hurray!" Selene was so excited that she kept on jumping and skipping in the front.Soon enough, she came running back and looked at Diane. "Mom, or maybe we shouldn't go. You said we are poor and we should spend wisely."Diane was heartbroken knowing she had such a wonderful and caring daughter. Every time Selene wanted to buy a toy or go to the amusement park, she would tell Selene the exact same thing. It resulted in Selene always thinking about how to save money for the family."Silly girl. Your dad is back now. Remember how I tell you that your dad had to go somewhere else to work for money so he can buy you good food and bring you to many places to place? Now your dad is rich and we don't have to be thrifty anymore!"Diane touched Selene's head and knelt down to carry Selene. Later she placed Selene at the back of the car and she took the passenger spot beside Severin."Let's go go go!" Severin smiled and drove the car to
"That's not all, right? You still need to apologize to him!" William said."Fine, I'll apologize if it makes you happy. Having seven and a half million is going to make our life a whole lot better in the future. Unlike during the past few years, I won't have to think twice before buying something!" Felicia said indifferently.Megan, who was on one side, still had a bitter face. "But, I don't want to wash his feet! Gah, why was I so stupid to bet with him at the time? Damn it! I was so overwhelmed with anger that I didn't consider the possibility that he might resort to selling the house!"Having said that, Megan thought of something again, and could not help but smirk. "Then again, he might not necessarily be successful. We've set a deadline for him anyway, and when it comes to matters relating to the sale of a house, it's unlikely that he'll be able to sell it off within a month. And besides, the house is very expensive too, so there's still a chance we might not lose!"After Will
Stanley had to put in a mountainous effort to snatch the position of general manager from Diane a few years ago, and even then, his efforts were in large part bolstered by the incident involving Diane.Business was not very smooth during his first few years after taking over the Shanahan family company, but it was still making money due to the perfect system that Diane implemented. In the past two years, however, his incompetence was gradually emerging. That, as well as inferior hiring practices, led the company to suffer losses in the past two years.Should Diane return and Catherine ask her to help out at the company, the problems plaguing the company would certainly come to light. By then, it might not be possible to hide certain things from the old lady, and Stanley would stand to lose his position. Therefore, Diane's arrogance was exactly what he wanted.When William heard Stanley say that about his daughter, his face soured and he remarked, "My daughter doesn't have it so roug
Catherine realized that she would be making a fool of herself when Stanley pointed that out, but when she thought of the benefits they would get from the project, she frowned again and said to Stanley, "Then do you have any better solutions?""I…I do!"Stanley gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I promise I'll find a way to deal with Charmaine. If I can get to the eldest daughter of the Longhorns, wouldn't it be much easier to ask for the project quota or something like that?”"Can we rely on what you just said? Time is already running out!" William asked, knowing that Stanley was worried about his position being usurped by Diane."Of course, Uncle William! Don't underestimate my ability! Give me a week and I'll get it done for sure!" Stanley patted his chest and assured them.William had nothing else to say to Stanley after the latter gave an assurance, but he turned to his mother and said, "Mom, you do realize that you went a bit overboard five years ago. You can't expect
Felicia panicked instantly upon hearing that Severin was not to be allowed to sell the house. The seven-and-a-half-million-dollar dowry was the only thing she had been looking forward to. After all, the money was all hers if Severin gave it to her, and she would not take it out for anything. When the time came, she could then spend it however she wanted.As for the Liberty City project, she simply could not care less about establishing a good relationship with the Longhorn family. Regardless of how much money she helped the Shanahans earn, it would never fall into her pocket.Catherine said earnestly, "I repeat, he cannot be allowed to sell the house. Henry just gave it to him, and even if it really belonged to him now, selling it off would be like slapping Henry in the face. Do you think he'll agree to give us a quota for Liberty City if he's unhappy?"William frowned as soon as he heard that. "You're right. We'd have to rely on Severin if Stanley fails, but if Severin sells the ho
