Ch. 81..90

Life After Prison Chapter 81-“Alright. Go to bed now!” Diane smiled faintly. She only closed the door when Severin left the room. She exhaled deeply after the door was closed.

Today was a full day especially everything that she had experienced. It had definitely tired her out mentally. Luckily, everything was for the better now. Their family finally had a villa to stay in. Severin had also taken back the money from the Orwells. At least they could have the luxury of breathing slowly and not lived tiringly like previously.

As for the wedding that Severin mentioned. The one that everyone would be jealous of. It was something that she did not put too much hope into.

As of now, Easton was burning with anger as he sat in the car. “Damn you, Severin! F*ck you! I’m going to kill him sooner or later!”

“Yes. He’s too awful! It’s supposed to be our wedding day today. I just didn’t see that this is how today ended.” Lucy agreed.

Easton gritted his teeth. “But Severin that idiot had crossed Jada this time. That means making the entire Stones his enemies. Haha. I would like to see just how long he is going to gloat. I know what kind of person Jada is. She definitely wants to take her revenge!”

After that, he drove the car to go back to their house in Union Villa. When they were in the room, Lucy went to take her shower. She came out dressed in sexy lingerie: It definitely showcased her sexy figure in the most perfect way. Men would drool when they saw her in it.

She closed the door and smiled at Easton. “Sweetheart. Why don’t you stop thinking about that idiot? Let me make you happy tonight!”

Lucy’s eyes were so seductive and alluring. Finally, Easton was feeling more comfortable as he looked at her. However, Lucy’s look was still lesser than Diane’s.

‘Damn it. Diane is going to be mine after I killed Severin!‘ he thought evilly.

From where he see it, Severin was far lesser than him. It just did not make sense how Severin was able to have such a beautiful woman to be together with him!

Very soon, Lucy pushed Easton to the bed. She tried all of the skills she knew just to ignite the flame in Easton’s heart. Unfortunately, her face started to be sullen after a while.

can’t while.

She looked at Eason and said unhappily, “What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you get it up?”

Easton frowned and looked serious. “I don’t know what’s wrong too. I…I don’t feel anything…”

“Tsk, so useless. Or am I not sexy enough for you?” Lucy was full of resentment. The words she said infuriated Easton. Instantly, he slapped her on the face. “What did you say? What do you rnean when you called me useless?”

“You–you hit me!” Lucy looked at him shockingly as she covered her face with her hand.

“So what? Who do you really think you are? How dare you call me useless?” He glared coldly at her. Men could never accept and were scared of being called useless. Although he had no idea, what went wrong with him tonight.

Life After Prison Chapter 83-“I’m sorry, Mister Harvey. I’m too blind to see that you are our important guest and offended you. I hope you can forgive me!” Harvey ran over and knelt down in front of Harvey.

From the look on Master Blade’s face, he knew he had caused trouble. The man he had just told off was not just any man.

Severin smiled faintly. “Sigh. But you were asking for tips from me when I wanted to go in just now. And you won’t inform your boss about my arrival without the tips. Look at me, do you think I’m a rich person? There’s nothing I can do since I can’t afford to give you tips!”

He shrugged, took out a cheap packet of cigarettes, and started smoking it.

“What? You even dare to ask for money from him?” Blade got even more infuriated when he heard that. With mighty strength, he kicked Harvey with his leg. Harvey ended up falling to the ground.

“Mister Severin, you must be joking. How could you be a poor person? Umm, what about this? I’m going to have him chop off his arm to apologize to you for asking for money from you. I hope you could let it go after that. What do you think?” Blade asked.

Harvey was dumbstruck upon hearing that. His eyes became dull. ‘I’m finished. I know now that no one in Draco Hall dares to cross this man. Otherwise, Master Blade will never say that.”

It was a very heavy punishment. Harvey was going to end up being a handicapped person in the future. Draco Hall was not going to have any place for him.

“It’s too serious. Argh, forget about it. Just let him slap himself twice. So he will remember what happened today!” Severin said.

“Did you hear that? Are you not going to thank Mister Severin for letting you go easily?” Blade urged.

“Thank you, Mister Severin! Thank you, Mister Severin! I would absolutely remember it and never again will I dare to do it in the future!” Harvey slapped himself a few times and expressed his gratitude.

“Mister Severin. This way, please. I was going to wait for you at the door to welcome you myself but I didn’t know you would be so early!” Blade bowed a little and welcomed Severin.

Severin chuckled. “I happened to be free so I thought about coming over to take a look. Thank you for helping me last night. Otherwise, it’s going to be hard for me to escape!”

Blade was behind him. He politely said, “That’s too humble of you, Mister Severin. I’m sure a person like you can easily escape without me showing up to help you!”

Under the lead from Blade, they soon entered a main hall. Larry requested the other to clear the space leaving only him, Blade, and Severin in the hall. He exchanged looks with Blade and knelt down together. They cupped their hands together.

“Salute to you, my Supreme Leader!”

“Supreme Leader!”

Severin frowned and his expression turned weird. “Did you have the wrong person? How am I the Hall Master? I’m sure you must have got it wrong. I’m definitely not your Supreme Leader!”

Larry stood up and said, “Supreme Leader, I know you have always been mysterious and did not want to reveal your identity. That was why I did not ask Blade to reveal it and tried to hide it for you.”

“But I’m really not a Supreme Leader!” Severin insisted.

Larry explained, “Look at the ring on your finger. That’s the Dracodeus Ring. The ring is a token of Dracodeus Temple. The one who wears the ring is the Supreme Leader of Draco Hall. There are twelve halls in Dracodeus Temple. I’m sure you are aware of that.”

Severin nodded. “12 halls. Yes, I know that. Each hall is situated at different places and it is named after the oriental zodiac. Draco Hall, Tigris Hall, Sus Hall, Equus Hall, and so on. Old Wacko did tell it to me before!”

“Then that’s right!” Larry replied.

Life After Prison Chapter 84-Larry was excited to hear that. “Regardless of how you get your hand with the ring, you are now the Supreme Leader of the twelve halls. You are now our leader!”

“What the f*ck?” Finally, Severin remember something. The old wacko used to give him a letter in the past. He instructed Severin to read the letter when Severin faced a weird situation.

It looked like the old wacko must be referring to now. In the past, Old Wacko did mention something about a huge and powerful organization. The organization was divided into twelve halls. Each hall was named after the oriental zodiac. That was what the old wacko told Severin.

At that time, Severin did not pay much attention to it and treated it as a story. It just never occurred to him that there would be people calling the Supreme Leader now. He turned his palm to take out the letter and opened it..

[Haha! Hey Severin, by the time you read this letter, you should know by now that I have left. you. I have never had disciples in my life. So you are my one and only disciple. Therefore, I can only pass down Dracodeus Temple to you.]

[That’s right. From now on, you are the Supreme Leader of Dracodeus Temple. Forgive me for not telling you earlier. I was afraid that you would reject it and I wanted to surprise you! Dracodeus Temple was founded by me. I never really managed it normally. So I hope you can find the people from the 12 halls when you are released from prison. Bring Dracodeus Temple to a great height of development and make Dracodeus Temple powerful!]

[Although this is a difficult mission, I believe you can do it. Oh, right! Don’t forget to go to Dracodeus Isle on the 15th of August! You’re going to find something waiting for you there! The Dracodeus Ring is the symbol for the Supreme Leader of the Dracodeus Temple. So I just set you up. I’m sure you are not going to blame me! Haha!“]

Severin was dumbstruck when he finished reading. As a matter of fact, the old wacko was the previous Supreme Leader of the Dracodeus Temple. When he gave Severin the ring, it was the same as passing down the position of the Supreme Leader to Severin.

To make it worse, it was not up for discussion. Severin did not even have the chance to reject it.

He touched the envelope and felt there was something else inside. There was another piece of paper when he took the envelope out to see the inner. It was a map drawn by the old wacko. The locations of the twelve halls were clearly marked on the map. According to the map, Draco Hall was exactly in Brookbourn.

“I guess I’m really the Supreme Leader of Dracodeus Temple. Damn the old wacko! He should have told me earlier!”

Eventually, Severin smiled bitterly. All he hoped for was a normal and peaceful life after he returned home. He yearned to live a quiet life. Little did he know, the old wacko actually gave him such a difficult mission.

“Supreme Leader, it looks like the old Supreme Leader has passed this position to you. If the old Supreme Leader thinks highly of you, he must believe that you have the power to achieve the mission!” Larry said seriously. “No matter what, everyone in Draco Hall now belongs to you. We will listen to everything you said!”

“That’s right, Supreme Leader. We will do everything that you ask us to do!” Blade shouted from the bottom of his lung.

Severin chuckled and said, “I don’t have anything in mind that I’ll like you to do yet. Run freely for now. Continue doing what you used to do!”

After that, he gave it a thought and said, “Oh! And don’t let anyone know that I’m the Supreme. Leader for now. Since the Supreme Leader of the Dracodeus Temple has been a mystery, I will continue that tradition. Give me your phone so we can contact each other if anything comes up.”

“Yes, Supreme Leader!”

Blade and Larry exchanged looks with each other and nodded their heads. Quickly enough, they gave Severin their phone numbers and also saved Severin’s number in their phones.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going!” Severin thought for a while before saying that.

“Supreme Leader. There’s one more thing that we need your assistance with!” Larry said embarrassingly when Severin was about to leave.

Life After Prison Chapter 85-Judith served the tea she had just made to Diane’s family with a smile. “Felicia, please have some tea!”

Felicia tried to smile. “Yes. I was quite surprised when Diane said she was staying here when I called her. I thought there was something wrong with my ears. And it turns out my ear is fine. You guys are really staying here!”

She took a sip of the tea and spat it out. “Blek! What tea is this?”

Judith was embarrassed. “It’s Rooibos tea…”

“Tsk, tsk. Is it the one that comes in a loose pack of just maybe a few dollars or the one that costs more than ten dollars? Do you guys seriously drink this all the time? Dear me, this is way too cheap! “Felicia complained without thinking it would make Judith feel bad.

Subsequently, Megan also took a sip of the tea. “Yuck! It really is disgusting. Totally a different. class from the one we used to drink!”

“Um…Felicia, I’m sorry. But this is the tea we normally drink. I didn’t know you were coming to visit today. Why don’t I ask Maurice to buy a better one now?” Judith smiled embarrassingly.

“Yes! That’s right! I’ll go buy a better tea now!” Maurice was feeling a little uneasy and nervous. He rubbed his hand while trying to smile politely.

“No! That’s not necessary!” Diane could not watch it anymore. “They don’t have to drink if they don’t like it. Just let them be!”

“Diane, how could you speak to us like that?” Felicia shouted at Diane angrily.

Diane did not care. “I’m just speaking the truth. Mom, don’t tell me you don’t understand that a guest should suit the convenience of the host. You are being disrespectful. How would you feel if I told you your dress is hideous?”

Felicia gritted her teeth and did not know what to say. It was beyond her imagination to have her daughter speak to her in this manner.

On the other hand, William drank the tea and smiled. “Maurice, Felicia. You don’t have to buy new tea. I think this tea tastes great.”

“You! How could you help the outsiders instead of me?” Felicia gave him an angry glare.

“Hey, don’t say that. We’re going to be a family. There’s no outsider in this house. Have you forgotten the reason why mom asked us to come over?” William said.

That reminded Felicia. Catherine wanted to know just how close Severin and Henry are. In addition, they would also like to persuade Diane and Severin to move back into the house so Severin could put in some good words with Henry. They were hoping that could help them to get the project they wanted from the very beginning.

They had their answer now knowing that Henry had gifted this villa to Severin. Therefore, it was essential to persuade Diane to move back into the house so they could please and fawn Severin to make him help their family.

Instantly, Felicia changed her attitude and smiled. “Oh, geez. Actually, I was just trying to be nice and remind you. I mean look at the place where you guys are staying now. It’s not nice for you to continue drinking this cheap tea anymore. Your lifestyle should be different from before. At least try to buy the more expensive tea!”

“Felicia, you’re right. I’m sorry for today. We will buy better tea in the future!” Maurice said while still maintaining the smile on his face.

From where he stood, the Shanahans were wealthy people. It was an honor and a blessing for his family when Diane was willing to marry Severin and also gave birth to such a wonderful daughter.

Undoubtedly, Maurice and Judith were afraid to offend when Diane’s family came to visit. That was why they had been trying to be nice and accommodating.

“Mom. Let’s cut the corner and tell me why are you guys looking for me. I’m sure there must be something or else I don’t think you will ever come looking for me!” Diane said.

The Shanahans had been ruthless and cruel to Diane during the past few years. She was a victim of their cruelty. Her father, William, was the only one who would secretly give money to her over the years. He was scared Felicia and Megan would find out and had been using his personal money that he kept secretly.

On the contrary, Felicia and Megan persuaded Diane to have an abortion in the first few months she got kicked out of the house. When the baby was born, they never visited her. That was why the way Diane talked to her mother was less respectful and loving.

Life After Prison Chapter 86-Megan was the one who answered. “Diane, why don’t you take a guess? It’s a piece of good news!”

Diane smiled coldly. “Oh really? But I don’t think either of you would actually come bearing good news to me!”

Felicia smiled. “Diane. Your dad and I know you and Selene had suffered a lot for the past few years. But we did it for your own good. We were afraid you are going to suffer misery if you had the baby. Besides, you refused to tell us who the father of the child is. We had no choice. For the sake of the family, there was nothing we can do when Catherine wanted to kick you out of the house.”

Diane smiled faintly. “It’s already in the past and I don’t want to remember it. I just hope the future will get better and the same goes for our lives!”

Felicia smiled. “Of course, it is going to get better. Do you know why we are here? We’re here to bring you back.”

“Bring me back?” Diane was stunned and shocked. She did not expect the reason her parent and sister to come to visit her today to bring her home. This was something that she would never think of in the past.

“That’s right, Diane. You can go home now!” Megan repeated.

Judith and Maurice exchanged looks with each other. They could see each other frowning and looking worried because Diane’s family did not mention Severin or Selene.

‘Are they going to bring Diane back and leave Selene here?‘ they thought.

William smiled. “Diane, it’s not just you. Severin and Selene can go and stay together with us too!”

“Yeah! That’s a good thing!” Judith was thrilled to hear that. She consoled Diane. “Look. Your parent loves you. If they are willing to accept you, Selena, and Severin back in the house, it means they have forgotten about the past. It’s a good thing!”

“That’s right! All of you can go back. You can pack your things and go back today!” Felicia quickly said. Regardless of that, Diane did not look happy like they thought she would. She frowned and started thinking deeply.

Megan was curious why Diane did not feel touched or overwhelmed. “What’s the matter, Diane? You do want to go back, do you? Or you don’t want our family to recognize Selene and Severin?”

Diane did not answer immediately. After a few seconds of silence, she said, “Why did Catherine suddenly change her mind? Allowing me to go back? And also accepting Selene and Severin?”

Felicia’s expression changed a little as she was feeling quite embarrassed. Despite that, she tried hard to smile. “I mean it has been over so many years. Catherine is always fond of you! She thought you brought disgrace to the family when you were pregnant. Look how big your daughter is now. What feud is there to hold on to? We are after all a family, right?”

“That’s right! Diane, please come back!” Megan also tried to convince Diane. “Although Severin is useless and an imbecile, he is still Selene’s father. We would try to accept him!”

Judith and Maurice looked embarrassed and did not dare to refute. All they did was lower their heads and said nothing.

The gaps between both families were too huge. They knew Severin is very hardworking and treated them very well. He was however not exactly the best match for the daughter of the Sanahans. Knowing that fact, Maurice and Judith had low self–esteem when it came to facing. Diane’s family.

Diane was unhappy to hear how Megan talked about Severin. “Who are you calling an imbecile? From what I see, he is not an imbecile! He’s a passionate man. He has medicinal knowledge! He would stand out with bravery and fight for us when his parent, me, and Selene got bullied!”

“What’s the use of standing out when he has no power? That’s just an act of an idiot!”

Life After Prison Chapter 87-Megan had a disgusted look on her face. “I know you are living in this big villa now. But if you don’t work hard, you are going to have trouble paying the maintenance fee in the future. And Selene is older now. She is at the age to study in preschool. Don’t tell me you are going to enroll her in those lousy types of preschools. Education is very important for a child!”

“None of you need to worry about that!” Diane talked back immediately.

“You…!” Anger overpowered Megan so much that she could not find words to form a sentence.

Diane’s personality was different from how she remembered in her memory. Did Severin give a bad influence on Diane just within the few days he was back?

Since Diane reacted that way, Felicia quickly switched her method by changing her expression and trying to appeal to Diane with emotion. She approached Diane, knelt in front of her, and grabbed her hand.

“Diane, I have been missing you dearly every night. Do you think I’m not worried about you? In fact, all of us worried sick about you and scared that you had a rough life. But we are afraid to contact you or be nice to you. What if your grandmother finds out and kicks us out too?”

Felicia’s eyes were starting to get teary. Little by little, Diane’s heart had gone soft. These people were her parents and her sister. Most importantly, William had secretly cared about her and helped her in the past.

She looked at William’s hopeful face and said, “I need to ask Severin about this. He’s my husband so I need to discuss it with him!”

“What? When are you a nose of wax? He’s going to need a moment to sink in the happiness when he knows he is going to live with us. He’s going to be part of the Sanahans if he stays in the house. His status is going to be different. Maybe most of the second rich generations would look down. on him, but at least he is going to be part of the Sanahans. In normal circumstances, those businessmen would still beware of him and treat him with respect!” Megan said.

For this whole time, Severin had been eavesdropping from the outside. He was very satisfied and happy with the way Diane handle the situation just now. At least, Diane was taking his parent’s side and his side when Felicia and Maurice looked down at them. That was far more than enough.

for Severin.

He pushed the door and entered the villa. “Diane, I overheard the conversation. You can make the decision. I told you, I’m going to listen to everything you said from now onwards.”

It brought warmth to Diane’s heart. “Really?”

Severin shrugged his shoulder. “Of course. You are a Sanahan after all. It’s a good thing your family is accepting you and asking you to go back. I believe you miss your parent too.”

Diane was very happy and satisfied with what Severin said.

“How about it? Severin has agreed. Are you going to come back and live with us?” Megan quickly looked at her sister with hope.

Diane smiled. “Then is he going back as my husband or what?”

“Definitely as a live–in son–in–law! He’s going to live in our family, isn’t he?” Felicia answered disdainfully even before giving a thought about it. “He has dumb luck meeting you in this life. How else is he going to have the chance to live with us?”

Severin’s face became sullen. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times. He gritted his teeth. and suppressed his anger when he thought about how miserable Diarie was because of him for the past few years. If he had to be a live–in son–in–law, he had to expect to be treated badly when he stayed together with the Sanahans.

Diane thought for a while and said, “Dad, mom. I’ll go visit when I’m free. Since the family did not mind what happened in the past, I’m ready to let it go too. We are a family and I will go visit you in the future. But I don’t want my husband to be looked down upon by the other Sanahans after we go back. I don’t want to see him suffer miserably and I don’t want him to be a live–in son–in–law!”

Life After Prison Chapter 88-“Diane, what makes you think like that? Don’t worry. No one is going to look down at him!” Felicia smiled embarrassingly.

Her ultimate purpose was to trick Diane and Severin to move back together with them.

“That’s right! We are a family. Family sticks together!” Judith smiled and said.

Although she was worried Felicia would give trouble to her son when Severin moved, she still hope to see Diane could rekindle with her parent.

Severin was touched by the words Diane said. “Honey, you don’t have to care about my feelings. Don’t worry. They are your family. I will try to avoid any conflicts with them.”

Diane nodded. “Dad, mom. Grandma treated me heartlessly in the past. She refused to listen to me even when I beggar her. I told her I will leave the house after I gave birth to the baby and rested well. She disagreed and shouted at me to make me leave. She was only going to accept me if I had an abortion. She forced me to leave my own house!”

At this point, she was very determined. “Mom, I can’t get past this heartache. She was the one who kicked me out. I won’t go back unless she comes here personally to invite me back!”

“Was she really that heartless?” Severin asked. After listening to what Diane said, he finally understood why Diane did not want to go back to her house. Her grandma had acted too cruel to her. If Diane did not insist on giving birth, Selene would never see this world.

He thought for a while and nodded. “Diane, you’re right. We should at least stand firm on the ground. She shouldn’t treat you like a piece of rubbish. Kicking you out of the house and asking you to go back as she wishes. People would look down on us if we let them do this to us!”

Felicia was infuriated. She stood up and looked at Diane. “Diane Sanahan! What are you thinking? Don’t you know grandma has got a big ego? Think about how old she is. Do you think she would put down her ego and personally come to ask you to go home?”

“Diane, just take it when it is on the table. Do you really think what you are asking for is possible? Besides, dad and mom have come to pick you up. Isn’t that giving you enough face? Please, I beg you. Let’s move back. Alright?”

Diane’s eyes were persistent. “I’m married to Severin now. He’s my husband. I’m going to follow. him wherever he is and whatever decision he makes. I don’t want him to be a live–in son–in–law. Your daughter, me, is now married to him. If the family is willing to accept us, I will bring Severin and Selene back to visit all of you!”

Felicia shook with fury. She pointed at Severin. “Follow him wherever he is and whatever decision he makes? What the hell are you thinking about, Diane? Is your brain not in your head? Think about how miserable you were because of him all these years. Now you are afraid that he would be miserable because of you? Haha. Diane, my dear. Are you too kind?”

Megan was also disappointed in her sister. “I agree! Diane, are you sure you’re married? Did he give dowry to us? Not a single cent! Did he throw you a wedding? No! Do you really think you are married? I don’t understand how would you have the nerve to say you’re married to him!”

Diane smiled. “Then is he going back as my husband or what?”

“Definitely as a live–in son–in–law! He’s going to live in our family, isn’t he?” Felicia answered disdainfully even before giving a thought about it. “He has dumb luck meeting you in this life. How else is he going to have the chance to live with us?”

Severin’s face became sullen. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger when he thought about how miserable Diane was because of him for the past few years.

We are a family and I will go visit you in the future. But I don’t want my husband to be looked down upon by the other Sanahans after we go back. I don’t want to see him suffer miserably and I don’t want him to be a live–in son–in–law!”

Life After Prison Chapter 89-“Diane, what makes you think like that? Don’t worry. No one is going to look down at him!” Felicia smiled embarrassingly.

Her ultimate purpose was to trick Diane and Severin to move back together with them.

“That’s right! We are a family. Family sticks together!” Judith smiled and said.

Although she was worried Felicia would give trouble to her son when Severin moved, she still hope to see Diane could rekindle with her parent.

Severin was touched by the words Diane said. “Honey, you don’t have to care about my feelings. Don’t worry. They are your family. I will try to avoid any conflicts with them.”

Felicia shook with fury. She pointed at Severin. “Follow him wherever he is and whatever decision he makes? What the hell are you thinking about, Diane? Is your brain not in your head? Think about how miserable you were because of him all these years. Now you are afraid that he would be miserable because of you? Haha. Diane, my dear. Are you too kind?”

Megan was also disappointed in her sister. “I agree! Diane, are you sure you’re married? Did he give dowry to us? Not a single cent! Did he throw you a wedding? No! Do you really think you are married? I don’t understand how would you have the nerve to say you’re married to him!”

She continued to talk while crossing her hands and placing them in front of her chest contemptuously. “What’s wrong with him suffering just a little misery when he lived with our family? It is nothing when it is compared to the misery you had the last few years!”

Felicia agreed, “That’s right! He did nothing for you to marry you. Edward has offered a milion dollars of dowry. He even said he would throw you the most lavish wedding ever in this city to make our family proud. That is called marrying. Okay?”

Diane was hurt. The wedding was truly a scar and a regret in her heart. It just did not occur to her that her mother and her sister would ruthlessly rip her wound open again.

“That’s enough!” Tears started falling down her eyes. She screamed angrily. “I’m a grown woman! None of you have cared about me these few years. I’m willing to be with him and none of you can have a say in it!”

Severin came over and pulled her into his arms. With a serious expression, he looked at Felicia and Megan. “Edward Horsefields? Who does he think he is? So he is offering to give a million dollars of dowry? I have no problem in giving 7,500,000 dollars for the dowry! So you want a wedding? I will throw Diane the grandest and the more luxurious wedding this city has ever seen. I’m going to let all of you know that she married the right guy. That’s right! She is my wife. I’m going to let her marry me in the most spectacular way there ever is!”

“Haha. Anyone can bluff.” Felicia gave Severin a contemptuous look after the joke she heard Severin talking about. “I have to give it to you. You said this when we were in the hotel. Now you are bluffing again. Only this time, it was a bigger billshit! Seven million dollars! Are you sure?”

“Severin! What are you talking about? Where the hell are you going to find seven million dollars?” Judith asked.

Life After Prison Chapter 90-Judith got scared by what Severin said and felt embarrassed. ‘What’s wrong with Severin? Why can’t he just tolerate it? He shouldn’t bluff and talk nonsense just because he is angry at what they said!‘

Both Maurice and her were embarrassed about what Severin said.

“Dad, mom! Stay out of this. I’m a man of my word! Severin insisted. “Otherwise, how are they going to know Diane had made the right choice?”

“Hey kid, you really like to bluff, do you? Fine. Show it to me! I’m going to give you a month’s time. Let’s see if you really have the money. If you failed to do it, you need to promise me to get a divorce with my daughter and let her marry Edward! Do you dare to bet on it?” The anger had gotten into Felicia’s head.

She glared at Severin angrily. “Since you want to act, I’m going to expose you!”

“Fine! A month! But what if I fulfilled the dowry and threw Diane a wedding? What are you going to do?” Severin did not back down and glared back at Felicia.

Felicia scoffed. “If you really did it, then I will admit that you are my son–in–law, accept that my daughter has married you and you are not a live–in son–in–law!”

Megan added more fuel to the fire. “Severin, you better think carefully. You have to divorce my sister if you failed!”

Unexpectedly, Severin responded immediately. “No!”

“Why? Regretting it already? Haha. You were the one bluffing, weren’t you? Why are you regretting it so fast? Have no balls to bet on it? Slapping your own face so quickly?”

Felicia knew it was impossible for Severin to fork out that much money. He was just bluffing about it. Her heart was feeling joy when she successfully expose his lies. Judith and Maurice lowered their heads and sighed.

However, things did not go the way they expected. Severin said, “No, no, no! I mean it’s too good for all of you if you just accept the fact that Diane is married to me and accept me as your son–in- law if you lose. That’s not enough!”

“What else do you want?” Felicia’s face became sullen. She had never seen a son–in–law talking to his mother–in–law like that.

Severin smiled. “You need to apologize to me. Admit that you were wrong and admit that your son- in– law is a talented man!”

“Fine! If you can do it, we will apologize!” Felicia agreed. “But you have to fulfill the things you said. Seven million dollars of dowry and a grand wedding. A wedding that would not bring disgrace and humiliation to our family. Got it?”

“Deal!” Severing smiled confidently. “One month, right? I will give you the dowry within a month. As for the wedding, I need to pick a date!”

“Haha! Just continue with your bluffing!” Felicia laughed out loud and thought Severin did not know how to back down until he finally got the taste of failure.
