"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
Jada then said, "It was all Severin's doing. Just yesterday his Chevy was stopped by the security outside, and we couldn't pass through because of that. I went up and argued with him, but he was very arrogant toward us and we had a war of words."Since she could not tell them the whole truth, she twisted the story a little. "Then, last night, Severin brought his family to our restaurant for a meal. The incident from earlier was still fresh in our minds, and we decided to teach him a lesson by letting Patrick tease his wife. We didn't expect him to retaliate so violently! And to make things worse, none of our restaurant's hired thugs were a match for Severin!""Severin? Who is this Severin guy? I didn't think he'd be so cruel! I'll cripple him and avenge my son!" Cecil was so angry that he gritted his teeth in anger and wished that he could just tear Severin apart."That Severin guy is now staying in one of the villas here!" Jada then said."Did you hear that, Victor? That son-of-a-
Victor nodded in response. "That's for sure. As long as he doesn't have any influence or power, there's absolutely nothing for us to fear!"Jada concurred. "Yeah. I heard that he was just released from prison a couple of days ago for smashing a beer bottle over Easton's head. Easton eventually made use of connections to have him sent to prison!""Hehe," Victor chuckled after hearing what Jada said. "If he could be sent to prison, then it's clear that he doesn't have any connections at all. Only the weak suffer the brunt of the law, so we can now be sure that Severin is just an ordinary person!"He had been worried that Severin might turn out to be a powerful person simply because the latter was staying in the villa. Once he found out the exact situation surrounding Severin, however, he realized that there was absolutely nothing to fear, judging from how easily the Loughs were able to deal with him.However, Jada thought of something and could not help but remind Victor, "Dad, there
At that moment, Victor selected more than twenty of his family's bodyguards, all of whom were warriors with formidable fighting power. Among them were the heads of several of his bodyguard teams."What do you think? These men should be enough, right?" Victor asked proudly when he saw Jada coming out.Jada looked at them and nodded with satisfaction. "Even Hulk is coming, hehe. Not bad, not bad!""Hulk? Is he strong? He doesn't look particularly tall!" Prunella looked at the person that Jada called Hulk. He was about 1.8 meters tall, but he did not seem to have a lot of muscles in his arms. Though he looked much stronger than ordinary people, the other bodyguards looked much stronger than him.That comment elicited a smile from Victor as he said, "Show her your strength, Hulk.""Roger that, sir!"Hulk walked over, looked left and right, and finally set his sight on a huge marble slab in the lawn. The slab was more than thirty centimeters tall and looked exceptionally sturdy. Hulk
"Who the hell are these two old people?" Prunella asked when the only people she saw were an old couple. Her rage began boiling deep inside and she demanded, "Tell your son and daughter-in-law to come out!"Judith gulped, took a step forward, and said, "Everyone, m-m-my son and daughter-in-law went out and they're not back yet. May I ask why you're looking for Severin?""Hehe, you think we'd believe that? He's probably hiding inside!" Jada snickered coldly. She waved her hand and then ordered the bodyguards, "Get in there and search carefully, fellas. Don't believe a single word that's coming out of this old couple!"About seven or eight bodyguards rushed inside at once. Judith and Maurice looked at each other and could not help but frown. Though they had no idea who the other people were, they remembered that Jada was the woman from the restaurant the previous night, and it was likely that she was causing trouble for them because of what happened at the restaurant.After a while,
