Ch. 241..250
Life After Prison Chapter 241-Sheila’s face blushed and said to Severin, “How is that possible? It’s not coming until next week. Don’t bluff.”
After that, she was going to drink iced coffee.
Severin saw it and quickly pulled out her straw. “I mean it. It’s going to be here in less than ten minutes. If you don’t have a sanitary napkin with you, you better go buy it.”
“Damn it! What’s wrong with you? I know you just rescued me, but you shouldn’t talk nonsense or else I’m going to be mad. Do you think I don’t know when I’m about to have my period?” Sheila rolled her eyes and said, “Come on. Give me back my straw!”
Severin was helpless and gave the straw back. “I’m a miracle doctor. There’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me.”
Sheila could not be bothered with Severing. She turned around and was leaving. After taking just a few steps, she frowned and her face looked terrible. “Oh, no, oh, no! Is it really here?”
“Hey, dude! Help me, please. There’s a public toilet over there. Can you please go buy a sanitary napkin for me? Please? I’ll wait for you in the toilet!” Sheila held her stomach and gave her iced coffee to Severin before running towards the public toilet.
“I…” Severin felt desperate and speechless while holding two cups of coffee in his hand.
‘I’m a man and she actually asked me to buy sanitary napkins for her?’
In spite of that, Sheila was already in the toilet. If he did not help her out, she could only stay in the toilet before actually finding someone else to help.
“Argh! I’m so speechless. How can she come out without putting a sanitary napkin in her bag?” Severin said to himself with his gritted teeth.
In the end, he had no choice but to head toward a supermarket
nearby. After walking for a few rounds, there was finally no one in the sanitary napkin aisle. He quickly took two packs and ran toward the cashier to give them to the cashier.
The cashier was a middle-aged woman. She gave Severin a weird look before packing two packs of sanitary napkins into the bag to pass it to Severin.
Luckily, the cashier put them in a black plastic bag to ease the embarrassment Severin felt. He paid for them and carried the bag to the public toilet.
When he was at the entrance, he encountered another problem. How could a man walk into the lady’s room? He did not want to be called a pervert.
After a while, he noticed a woman was walking over and it looked like she was going into the toilet.
“Hey there, can you please help me out? My-my girlfriend is inside and she needs this. Can you please pass it to her when you go in?” Severin approached the woman awkwardly and found an excuse.
However, the woman looked at Severin and asked, “Why should I help you?”
Severin was speechless. He reached into his pocket and took out fifteen dollars for the woman. “Can you help me now?”
“Sure!” The woman was happy and accepted the money and the plastic bag.
She took a look into the plastic bag and said, “Don’t worry.
Hand it to me!”
After that, she walked into the toilet.
Severin was relieved and could not decide if he was going to cry or laugh. He never thought there would be a day he had to go to the supermarket to buy a sanitary napkin. Luckily his disciples would never know it. Otherwise, he could imagine how hard they are going to laugh at him.
Life After Prison Chapter 242-When Severin was drinking his coffee, he frowned. “I forgot to tell the woman it’s for Sheila!”
The woman went inside the toilet and did not know who she should give it to. She shouted out, “Eerr… your boyfriend asked me to pass these sanitary napkins to you. Where are you?”
“Boyfriend?” Sheila heard it and frowned. Despite that, she answered quickly, “Here. I’m here. Thank you!”
After several minutes, Sheila finally left the toilet. Seeing Severin still waiting for her outside, she bit her lip and felt happy. She said, “Umm…thank you so much. If you didn’t help me, I have no idea what I’m going to do!”
“I saw your face and noticed your period is about to come. I was certain it was going to be here within ten minutes but I didn’t know it was going to be so fast,” Severin said.
“Wow! You’re good!” Sheila looked at him and asked, “Are you really a miracle doctor? You can tell just by looking at my face. It’s so amazing! I’m impressed.”
After that, she said, “Since you’ve helped me twice, I reckon we’re friends now, aren’t we?”
Severin got shocked when Sheila grabbed his arm. He put his guard on and looked at her. “What do you want?”
“Nothing. Let’s save each other’s contact numbers. You can give me a call when you need my help. I’ll surely help you out! “Sheila smiled and wondered if this was a lame way to ask for someone’s phone number.
“Pardon me. But I believe I won’t be needing your help.”
Severin smiled and said politely, “Hey, let go of me. It’s not nice if other people see us being so close together. It’s inappropriate!”
“I-” Sheila was speechless. “I’m the young miss of the Ballards. Aren’t you supposed to be happy having a beautiful lady with fair skin and long legs grabbing your arm? How dare you complain about it?”
Severin rebuked, “I’m sorry. I have a wife. Please let go of me!”
He was never going to expect what Sheila was going to do next. Instead of letting go as she was told, she decided to ignore and used both hands to wrap around Severin’s arm. ” Hmph! I’m not going to let go if you don’t give me your phone number. And I’m going to yell that you’re trying to rape me!”
After that, she looked down and realized Severin’s arm was touching her boobs. Despite that, she gritted her teeth and refused to let go. Her face was blushing and she pretended she did not know it.
Severin felt a soft touch on his arm. He took a look and felt very awkward. That had him raise a white flag. “Fine, fine, fine. I promise I will give you my phone number! Can you let go now? It’s very inappropriate!”
Sheila got what she wanted and let go of Severin. “Give me your phone number now!”
Severin was still holding two cups of iced coffee. He smiled, I’m sorry. But my hands are not empty. I can’t take my phone. Next time. If we meet again next time, I will give you my phone number!”
Immediately after that, he ran as fast as he could,
disappearing away from Sheila’s sight.
“Ah-!” Sheila stomped her feet and completely went mad seeing Severin run away like a leopard.
Life After Prison Chapter 243-“Damn it! I’m so pretty and he actually rejected me! I’m so ashamed that I can’t even get a phone number!” Sheila was so angry.
If her friends knew about this, they were going to laugh at her so badly. She was after all a young lady that many rich kids pursue. Not only was she pretty and young, but she was also super rich too.
Yet, Severin actually rejected her today.
She stomped her feet and grasped her fist tightly. “No worries!
I’m not going to let you go! I will find you. I don’t believe there is a man that is not attracted to me!” Severin finished a cup of coffee and continued to drink the second cup. Those two cups of coffee were so much that he felt so full.
“Sigh. It’s quite boring without having to go to work.” Severin sighed, “The old wacko said I’m in for a treat if I go to Dracodeus Isle on the 15th of August. There are twenty more days before it’s that day.” Just when Severin was bored, Larry from Draco Hall called him and asked to meet at a restaurant. Before he knew it, he arrived at the restaurant. With the help of a waiter, he entered a room Larry had reserved.
“Mister Severin!” Larry and Blade got up their feet to welcome when they saw Severin enter the room.
Severin smiled and sat down on a chair. He asked, “What’s up?
” Larry nodded, “Supreme leader, we’re a little worried. Draco Hall has expanded because we had taken over Cedar Gang. We’re not afraid of the Emerald Cloud Gang. They should be the ones afraid of us. And our men discovered someone from Emerald Cloud Gang is actually in contact with someone from Brookbourne Mansion. So…” That explained why Larry was worried. Severin said, “You’re afraid Emerald Cloud Gang will collaborate together with Brookbourn Mansion to fight against you?” Larry nodded, “You’re right. Our expansion had threatened Brookbourn Mansion. They are the largest force in the city. Although they never care about the underground force and some matters between the upper-class family, I’m still a little worried.” Severin smiled faintly. “Don’t worry. Tit for tat is fair play. If they dare to look trouble on you, tell me. I’ll help you guys out. But if they leave us alone, we don’t have to do anything about them!” After that, Severin thought of something and asked, “Oh! There are twelve halls under Dracodeus Temple and they are named after the twelve oriental zodiacs. Can you please ask about the location of those halls? I want to go meet them!” Larry understood and said, “I don’t actually know anything about those halls. I do know about Mus Hall. It’s situated in the neighboring city, Riverson. We hardly interact or get in touch with each other. But I hear they are not doing quite well over there!” Severin nodded. “Okay. Then please help me find out where the rest of the halls are. Call me if you find anything. I’ll go over to Riverson when I’m free in a couple of days to see what the situation is like with Mus Hall.” Larry was overjoyed. “If the Mus Hall knows that you’re going, they will be very happy. All these years, they had only heard about the supreme leader and knew what the Dracodeus Ring looked like. But they never see the Supreme Leader too.” Larry and Severin continued to chat for a while. When It was late evening, they finally left the restaurant. Severin was going to walk back by himself.
When he was halfway home, a man with sunglasses strode to him very quickly. The man looked very normal but Severin could feel a faint killing vibe from the man.
Normally a person would not give off such a vibe. Only those who had killed many would encompass it. Thus, Severin put his guard up when he felt that killing vibe from that man.
The man walked past Severin. When he was behind Severin, he shook his hand and a dagger slipped down his sleeve. He grabbed it and stabbed it straight at Severin’s back. The man curled up his lips. It was not easy to be a two-star assassin. You needed to complete fifty assassination missions to accomplish the rank.
Life After Prison Chapter 244-Therefore, the two-stars assassin was quite a powerful person. He believed it was a piece of cake to kill Severin when Severin was off-guard.
However, he had underestimated Severin. When the dagger was about to pierce Severin’s back, Severin used the back of his hand to grab the assassin’s hand tightly.
“Ah-!” The assassin shouted out in pain when that happened. The dagger dropped to the floor. Even a professional assassin like him could not endure the pain when the bone was about to break.
“Bang!” It was followed by a kick from Severin. He kicked the assassin so hard that the assassin ended up lying on the floor with blood flowing out of his mouth.
Severin walked over and used his leg to step on the assassin’s chest. “Spill it! Who sent you?” “Hmph!” The assassin snorted. Blood was flowing out from his mouth. He bit his tongue and killed himself.
“Very professional!” Severin looked at the dead assassin with desperation as if he had expected the outcome. He smiled coldly and walked away.
On that very day, someone discovered the dead body. After some investigation, it turned out it was an assassin who had killed many people.
The next day, Edward received a text message.
[Mister Edward. I have bad news. The mission failed. The two- stars assassin failed!] The text message was from Edward’s bodyguard.
“F*ck! How unreliable can a two-star assassin be?” Edward was angry that he felt like scolding someone. Within moments, he made a call and asked Jada, Easton, and Lucy out to meet. Although Easton was unhappy with Edward, he knew he could not afford to offend Edward. He could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
Once again, he went to the meeting point and sat down. Immediately, he asked with a smile, “Mister Edward, why did you call us to meet with you? Do you have good news for us?” Edward replied coldly, “I already told you. It’s going to take a three-star assassin to kill Severin. You guys wanted to save the money and hired a two-stars assassin. Hmph! The mission. failed. Severin killed the assassin!” “No way!” Easton’s heart was broken. He and Jada had spent three hundred thousand dollars each to hire the assassin.
He thought for a while and asked, “Mister Edward. Since the mission failed, is the killer organization going to refund our money?” Edward shook his head. “Their man is dead. How could they possibly make a refund?” “But you said it’s going to cost three million dollars to hire a three-star assassin! That’s too expensive!” Easton frowned.
That amount of money was a lot for his family. Even if he split it with Jada, he had to fork out a milion dollars himself.
Life After Prison Chapter 245-Upon hearing it, Jada sighed. “Sigh. We shouldn’t think about saving the money. We hired a two-stars assassin because we wanted to save. Look now. We have spent the money and Severin is still alive!”
She recalled how she got slapped in the face and was asked to kneel down and apologize. Hatred had consumed her heart and she very much wanted Severin dead.
“Yes, yes, yes. Miss Jada is right. You shouldn’t save money when you want to hire an assassin. Otherwise, it’s just going to be a waste of money!” Edward nodded and said, “Oh. I got some good news for you guys. The killer organization is having a tenth-year anniversary. So after the discount, you can hire a four-stars assassin with the cost of the three-stars assassin.”
“Seriously?” Instantly, Easton felt spirited. If that was the case, it was quite reasonable and affordable.
“Yes. With three million dollars you can now hire a four-stars
assassin. It’s worth it. So why don’t we just hire a four-star assassin this time?” Edward persuaded again.
He was afraid Easton and Jada were not going to agree with him. He added, “What about this? This meal is on me. You two split the three million dollars to hire the assassin!”
Jada frowned. She was a little dubious if Edward had acquired money in the process. All this while, Edward was the one in charge of contact with the killer organization. Jada and Easton did not know anything and transferred the amount Edward told them. Who knew how much it really cost to hire an assassin?
Yet, Edward was from a second-tier upper-class family. Jada
did not dare to offend him and naturally, she was shy to ask. She was afraid she might cause Edward to feel unpleasant if
she asked.
“A million dollars!” Easton gritted his teeth while his face was sullen. It was a lot of money for him.
Most importantly, his father never agreed to go against Severin because his father was afraid of Severin. If he wanted
to use that much money, the only way was to use the money from the company in secret.
Jada thought of it and tried to convince Easton. “Mister Easton, think about it. Will you lose a finger if it wasn’t for that guy? Your wedding won’t be ruined if it wasn’t for him!”
The memory caught up with Easton. His eyes looked hateful.’ That’s right! If Severin is dead, I won’t be deprived of my manhood. I won’t have to go see an andrologist specialist! And if it wasn’t for Severin, they would not affiliate with Edward and Lucy would not be harassed by Edward!’
“Fine! A million dollars it is! F*ck him! I don’t believe a four- star assassin can’t kill Severin, that damn guy!” Easton
grasped his fist tightly and decided on it.
“Honey, isn’t it a little too much?” It pained Lucy very much to think about spending that much money.
“Too much? It’s not a lot of money if that is what it takes to kill Severin!” Easton said angrily.
“Hahaha! Good! It’s very good you have that kind of determination!” Edward laughed out loud. “Do you know the four-star assassin is an elite fighter on the grandmaster level? Do you know what a grandmaster is? The level that my family hires to be our guardian! Do you guys still think Severin has the chance to live?”
Jada and Easton exchanged looks with each other. Their faces were filled with joy.
Life After Prison Chapter 246-Jada, however, immediately said to Edward, “We’ve already paid so much money, Edward. Shouldn’t it be okay for us to meet this assassin? We want to know if they’re up to the job!”.
Easton immediately agreed. “Yeah, Edward! Let us meet the assassin. We’ll feel more reassured that way!” “Are you both saying that you doubt the abilities of a four stars assassin?” Edward frowned and asked coldly.
“No, not at all! It’s just…the money we paid is no small amount, and I don’t think it’s that big of a deal to meet the assassin since we’re employing them anyway,” Jada protested.
Their determination left Edward with no choice but to acquiesce. “Okay, okay. I’ll make arrangements and contact. you once he arrives!” “Thanks for your trouble!” Jada smiled.
After finishing their meal, they handed Edward the money to hire the assassin and left. When they were all gone, Edward immediately requested the presence of the bodyguard who was in charge of contacting the organization. “Hey, Kai. How much did you say it cost to hire a four stars assassin?” Kai immediately took out his cell phone and sent a link to Edward. “I’ve just sent you a link, sir. You may click in and have a look. There’s an option to hire whichever one you think 2/4 is the best, and you’ll see that there’s a list with rankings too. Those on the ranking list are very expensive though, and they’re all elite individuals from an organization called the Dragon Slayers!” After Edward clicked on the link, he selected the “four stars assassin” column and looked at the accompanying caption. ” The cost of hiring one of them is one and a half million only? Well, I’ll be damned! They gave me three million, which means I’d have half of that sum left over if I hire one of these four-stars! I didn’t think I’d earn that much!” Kai knew that Edward had swindled the group of their money and could not help but remark with a grin, “Well, sir, a three stars assassin costs only a quarter of what those folks paid you, so if you hire one of them, you stand to earn an even bigger chunk of money! Those three-stars are pretty strong too!” However, he did not expect Edward to shake his head in disapproval. “I can’t do that. I’m worried that the three-star won’t be a match for Severin. After all, my main target is to ensure that he disappears as soon as possible!” Edward then paused for a moment before continuing, “And besides, it’ll be easier for them to know that I’m cheating them of their money if I hired a three-star when they gave the money to me to hire a four-star. I still think hiring a four-star is the way to go. At least they won’t suspect me of having pulled a fast one on them if they meet the assassin!” “You’re right. That’s very smart of you, sir!” Kai nodded.
Edward browsed through the list and finally decided on one of the assassins. Once his decision had been made, he transferred the money to the other party.
Severin had already returned home by then, and as soon as he set foot in the living room, Maurice could not help but complain to him, “Hey, Severin, perhaps you should terminate the employment of those six bodyguards. I’m not used to their presence at all!” Maurice’s complaints could not help but prompt Severin into asking, “What’s wrong, Dad? Did they do something wrong?” “No, nothing of the sort,” Maurice replied. He then said helplessly, “The main issue is that they always insist on following me whenever I leave the house. I feel awkward when them around. Just yesterday I went fishing with a friend of mine, and two of the girls tagged along too. You have no idea how embarrassed I was! Those who know me think that I’m out with a lover, and they’re probably laughing at me and saying that I’m the sort of guy who likes to fool around with women half my age!” Severin smiled wryly and said, “But this is for your safety, Dad. It’ll take some time to get used to it, but you’ll be fine eventually. After all, we’re a rich family now, and I’m worried that you might be at risk of danger when you’re out of the home. Don’t forget that there’s still Easton and his friends. We might not have seen him around recently, but who knows what’s he been doing behind the scenes!” In reality, Severin had given some careful thought to the assassin he met when he was on the way home. If it was not Easton who hired them, then it had to be Jada-whoever it was, Severin was certain that they were the ones behind it.
Therefore, Severin felt that it was necessary to have the bodyguards accompany his parents and wife all the time, just in case one of those people would attack his family.
Life After Prison Chapter 247-“But, Maurice…Severin hired the bodyguards for our own good. I’m not used to it either, but we both need to slowly learn to get used to it, okay?” Judith advised. “Severin would be worried if we don’t have any bodyguards by our side. Didn’t we always get bullied by Easton’s people when they were sent to collect money from us? We don’t have to be so scared anymore now that we have bodyguards with us!” “Sigh, but it still feels so foreign to me!” Maurice could not help but sigh. He was a little speechless, after all, because it was very awkward to have two young and beautiful women accompanying him all the time.
“Okay, if you’re still uncomfortable with it, then I’ll hire some male bodyguards to protect you. That should be okay with you, right?” Severin could not help suggesting with a smile when he saw his father’s uneasiness.
“But isn’t that an even bigger waste of money?” After giving some consideration to Severin’s idea, Maurice felt that it would be such a shame to spend extra money on that.
“Don’t worry about it, Dad. I’ll hire two strong male bodyguards so you won’t feel awkward anymore. And don’t worry so much about the money!” Severin said directly.
At that moment, Diane had just reached home after getting off work, and a bodyguard was following right behind her too. As soon as she returned, she smiled and said, “Mom, Dad, the launching ceremony of the Liberty City project will be held the day after tomorrow. You should come along too.” Judith immediately waved her hand. “Thanks, but Maurice and I won’t be attending. Grand events like that really aren’t our thing.” Maurice agreed. “She’s right. I think it’s good enough that you and Severin are attending. We won’t feel comfortable at that sort of place!” Diane thought for a while. “Okay then. Grandma said that they’ll be treating us to a meal at a big hotel tonight. You don’t have to go to the event, but you must come for dinner!” “Okay, sure!” Judith was all smiles and felt increasingly satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
Frankie and his male disciple Leonard Ballard were having a drink at a bar. The two of them were hugging two beautiful women each, and they were both having a swell time there.
However, one of the female disciples came over as soon as they exited the bar. Frankie looked at her and asked, “How’s the investigation going, Carmen? Have you found out where Severin is staying? When will be the best time for us to act?” “I haven’t found out where he’s living, Master, but I did discover that there will be a big event in Brookbourn tomorrow. It’s the opening ceremony of the Liberty City project, and many upper-class families will attend along with other prominent figures!” Carmen said plainly.
When Frankie heard that, he was stunned for a moment and cocked an eyebrow. “Do you mean to say that Severin will be there too?” “Pfft, him? He’s just been released from prison not too long ago. On what grounds is he going to attend the event?” Leonard said disdainfully.
The next second, he closed his mouth smartly after Frankie glared at him.
Carmen then said, “According to our investigation, there’s a high chance that Severin will be in attendance tomorrow. First of all, he’s on very close terms with Henry Longhorn, having saved the old man’s life once. Second of all, he’s the son-in- law of the Shanahans. They initially could not even hope to attend the event, but they somehow received the invitation letter through Severin’s connections. Their old lady has even been showing off her good fortune in front of everyone else these past two days!”
Life After Prison Chapter 248-Frankie could not help but nod with satisfaction when he heard that. “Well done on your part, Carmen. We shall act tomorrow morning then. The conclusion of the opening ceremony is when their guard will be down, and when the time comes, the two of you will get a chance to practice your skills on that kid. Attack him simultaneously from left and right, and end his life right that instant. If he ends up overpowering the two of you, then I’ll take matters into my own hands.” Carmen and Leonard nodded with some excitement when they heard that.
After all, they had been itching to find a worthy opponent to practice their abilities on after they reached a breakthrough in their training to the level of grandmaster. At long last, the chance that they had been waiting so long for finally came.
The three of them got into the car, with Leonard getting into the driver’s seat while Carmen and Frankie sat in the rear seat.
Frankie had drunk some wine earlier, and he could not help but ogle at Carmen’s thigh as she sat beside him. Her figure was irresistible to him, especially since she was wearing a short black skirt that revealed her fair-skinned thighs. Frankie was in heat when he looked at them. He snuck a glance at Carmen’s delicate face once more and said solemnly, “You’ve done a fantastic and detailed investigation today, Carmen.
Come by my hotel room later, and I have just the boxing Cha method to teach you. Consider it your reward!” Carmen was overjoyed to hear that. “Thank you, master!” The car soon drove back to the hotel, and soon enough, Carmen came knocking on Frankie’s door. After opening the door, Frankie smiled and let Carmen in.
“What’s this boxing technique you mentioned? Is it a powerful one?” Carmen immediately asked with a smile.
However, the old man hugged her from behind and said excitedly, “There’s no boxing technique! I just realized that you’ve grown more and more beautiful with age. I intend to reward you well, and as long as you do as I say in the future, I’ll make sure you’ll become more and more powerful. If you listen to every word I say, I’ll teach you any boxing technique you want in the future!” “Master, don’t!” Carmen was scared stiff. She did not expect Frankie to covet her beauty, and she began struggling as soon as she realized it.
However, Frankie pressed her onto the bed with ease. “You’d have died long ago if I hadn’t saved you then. Don’t you think you should repay me?” Carmen began to give up resisting when she heard that and said angrily to Frankie, “Then you must let me eat lots and lots of delicious and spicy food from now on.” “Hehe, that’s a good girl. Fret not, you’ll always be treated well!” Frankie had a perverted smile as he pounced on Carmen.
The next morning, Severin and Diane got up early to drive to the hotel where the opening ceremony of the Liberty City project was held. After getting off the car, Diane looked around, and said, “Looks like we came here a little early.
Grandma and the others haven’t arrived, so let’s just wait for them here!” Severin nodded. He donned a suit that day and looked incredibly handsome as he exuded a unique temperament just by standing there.
“Severin’s here too!” Further away, Jada gritted her teeth angrily and muttered to herself after seeing Severin and Diane.
‘Let’s see how long more you’ll have to live once the four stars assassin comes for you.’
Life After Prison Chapter 249-Victor, the head of the Stones, turned blue with anger when he thought of what happened the other day. He asked coldly, “I wonder whether Severin is still treating Larry’s mother. Larry will have no use for him if his mother’s illness has been cured. When that day comes, we’ll just have our family’s strongest bodyguards end Severin’s life!” After a pause, Victor continued, “He may be powerful, but I’m confident he won’t be able to go up against a lot of people. I don’t think he’ll even survive if we get more than two hundred of our people to attack him at once!” However, Jada smiled coldly. “There’s no point, Dad. He’s so powerful that we’d stand to lose many of our bodyguards even if they eventually manage to kill him. There’s no need for that. After thinking about it, she said again, “Besides, didn’t you always teach me we should always use money to solve problems that can be solved with money? Edward and I have already hired an assassin. We can just sit back and relax because his days are now numbered!” Victor was overjoyed to hear what his daughter said and nodded approvingly. “That’s my girl! If it wasn’t for him, the Shanahans probably wouldn’t have the chance to be at this place today!” Before long, Catherine came along with her family. Behind her was Stanley, whose petulant expression was rather obvious.
Since Severin had secured such a huge advantage for the Shanahans, Stanley could no longer maintain his status within the family. With his grandmother beginning to pay more attention to Diane and going so far as to accept Severin, Stanley could not have been less unhappy.
“Dad, the Shanahans are here! But Stanley doesn’t look very happy though!” Jada could not help but frown when she saw Stanley’s expression and voiced out her puzzlement.
Victor then said, “The Shanahans as a whole ought to be happy, but things could not have gotten any worse for Stanley personally. Just yesterday the old lady showed off the Shanahans’ gold-font invitation letter in front of everyone after Severin helped to secure a place in the project, and for that reason, Diane was made the general manager of Shanahan Corporation. Do you think Stanley will feel happy after what happened?” “I see!” Jada’s brows furrowed slightly after hearing that and she had a pensive look on her face.
“Grandma, you’re here! You look so much more energetic today than ever before!” Diane immediately went to greet Catherine as soon as the latter approached.
The old lady was overjoyed, and said with a smile, “Really? I guess it’s probably because of the outfit I’m donning today.
It’s specially made for today’s ceremony, and I got someone to prepare it for me in advance!” “No, it’s not the outfit. It’s you as a whole. You look more energetic! Perhaps happy occasions do make a person better!” Severin came over and praised the old lady too.
“Is that so? My grandson-in-law sure is getting better and better at flattery!” The old lady was even happier to hear Severin’s remark.
On the other hand, Stanley, who was standing behind her, nearly fainted from anger. In the past, he often said sweet words to his grandmother to try and please her and earn her favor. He never expected Severin to flatter the old lady that much too, and he was so angry that he wanted to strangle Severin to death.
However, Severin merely glanced at Stanley and shook his head with a sigh.
Life After Prison Chapter 250-Stanley was speechless for a moment. “What are you trying to imply, Severin? Why did you look at me at sigh?” “I can see that your health is getting worse. Your face is a little pale, and you’re physically weak too. Try to cut down on the time you spend at hotels and with women, or else your body will give way soon!” Having given that advice, Severin made a point to add, “By the way, you’re aware that I have medical skills, right? Would you like me to prescribe some herbal supplements for you?” “Hell no! I know my body well, and it’s not weak!” Stanley gritted his teeth angrily and shot back, but in truth, he was a little worried because Severin’s observations had been spot – on. He recently realized that he could not last as long in bed. anymore, only a few minutes at most, and felt ashamed when Severin pointed that out.
Although the rest of the Shanahans did not make any comments, they looked at Stanley somewhat oddly because they knew that Severin’s medical skills were indeed good.
Judging from how Stanley reacted, Severin’s comments had to have hit the nail on the head!
The old lady sensed Stanley’s embarrassment and immediately changed the subject. “By the way, Severin, why aren’t your parents here yet? They shouldn’t be late for such a momentous occasion!” Severin then said embarrassingly, “They’ve never attended such a huge event before, and they decided not to come because they’re afraid of accidentally committing a faux pas. They’ll still attend the celebrations at the hotel later in the evening though!” The old lady nodded in approval and felt that Maurice and Judith were very understanding individuals. However, Stanley laughed from behind. “Hehe, it’s only right for them to do so. They’re poor, after all, and those who are here today are all rich. Our family went through a lot just to come here, and it’d be such an embarrassment to us if they came and made fools out of themselves!” “What nonsense are you going on about, Stanley?” Catherine lashed out. “They’re being considerate toward us, and here you are badmouthing them!” The old lady then turned around and glared at Stanley while saying, “Are you still interested to attend the event? If you’re not, then you’re free to leave!” “But, Grandma! I’m telling the truth!” Stanley did not know how else to respond. He did not expect that the old lady would yell at him in defense of Severin’s parents, but he nonetheless spoke softer when he protested.
“Ah, Severin’s here too!” Edward came over with a few of his bodyguards.
“It’s been a while!” Severin chuckled and spoke in a calm tone.
“Fancy seeing you here, Edward!” Catherine smiled awkwardly. Though she knew that Edward would be unhappy that Diane chose Severin over him, it was not like there was anything she could do about it.
Severin had proved to be a reliable person, and Diane liked Severin a lot too. That, coupled with the fact that Diane’s daughter was also Severin’s biological daughter, meant that there was nothing she could do about Diane’s choice.
Furthermore, the Shanahans had benefited from Severin too.
Edward did not even bother to look at the old lady and turned to Severin instead. “It’s a miracle that a person like you is even allowed to attend such an event!” Severin sneered. “Miracle? Pfft, you ain’t seen anything yet! There’s more where that came from!”
