Severin smiled and clinked glasses with them before drinking his glass of red wine.…The Shanahans had just returned home by then. As soon as they got out of the car, Catherine asked Felicia, "Just how much do you know about Severin? How could he rub shoulders with someone like Henry? Henry was being so respectful to him too, and judging from that attitude, he probably holds Severin in very high regard!"Felicia suddenly smiled awkwardly. "We have no idea either. Diane refused to tell anyone who Selene's father was, and we didn't even know that he was the same person who offended Easton five years ago. It was only today that we found out that Selene's father is an ex-convict!"The old lady frowned, looked at Felicia and William. "You're well aware that the rules are always used against those who are powerless. Since Severin was imprisoned back then, we can be sure that he used to be an ordinary person with neither money nor power. However, having Henry's protection right now means

Catherine thought about what Felicia said and eventually replied, "A dowry of one-and-a-half million dollars is nothing. It's not like we lack that kind of money. What's more important is building a relationship with the Horsfields. It would indeed be good if Diane marries into their family!""Yes! Exactly!" Felicia's eyes lit up. For the record, after Diane was kicked out of the Shanahan home, the money in Diane's bank card was all taken back by the Shanahans.Though Felicia, William, and Megan were still living with the Shanahans, they had been sidelined by Stanley.William was never a capable person to begin with, so he could only work in the company's warehouse. The salary was not very high to begin with, but Stanley slashed his salary and even came up with all sorts of reasons to deduct it even further. In the end, his pay was peanuts.Felicia did not work, so she spent her free time playing bridge with her friends.Megan, on the other hand, graduated from university only rec

Felicia's expression became exceedingly ugly. Those projects did not matter to her at all, and all she wanted was the dowry.The old lady looked at Felicia. "My dear Felicia, I'm not asking you to reject Edward immediately now, am I? You can drag it out a little longer while we figure out the relationship between Severin and Henry. If their relationship turns out to be very good and Severin can help us secure the Liberty City project, wouldn't you accept him as your son-in-law? If their relationship isn't all that impressive, then you can always try to persuade Diane to marry Edward. If she still won't listen, then there's nothing we can do about it.""I understand now."Felicia nodded and was roughly able to grasp the old lady's intentions.Megan thought for a while and then said, "Don't worry, Grandma. Diane was only stubborn back then because of her reluctance to part with her baby, not Severin. Now that we're willing to welcome her back home again, I'm sure she'll come back. Sh

"You son of a bitch! I can't believe you accepted that key! I think we should find a chance to return it!" Diane's brows furrowed as she walked on the street with Severin and Selene."Return it? Wouldn't it be rude to return it after I've already accepted it?" Severin frowned. "Don't get so worked up. It's just a house! He gave it to us so we could stay there, so that's what we'll do! We just so happen to need a house right now too, and my parents' house is also really run-down!""What do you mean 'it's just a house'? Do you know how valuable that house is? It's a villa in Dragon Lake Vista! Not even my grandmother could buy a unit there now that they're all sold out. The Shanahans couldn’t afford it last time, but when they finally had the means to buy one, no one was willing to sell! Living in this villa doesn't just prove that you're rich—it's more of a status symbol!" Diane immediately explained to Severin. "The Longhorns bought one that's the biggest out of all the others and ha

"The clothes here are expensive. Let's go someplace else!" Diane immediately urged when she saw Severin walking toward the entrance of the big shopping mall.Severin patted the bag he was carrying. "This bag is full of dough! What's there to worry about when we have a hundred and ninety thousand dollars here?"In response, Diane glared at him and rolled her eyes. "As much money as you have right now, it's still important to spend your money sensibly. Why do you have to act like someone who got rich overnight?"Severin smiled. "If I'm honest, I don't really care about my clothes, but things have changed now. I have a wife and a daughter, two people whom I mustn't let suffer. I've never bought you two clothes or gifts, so the least I can do is spend like there's no tomorrow on you two! It'll be just this once!""Pfftt!" His words amused her and she felt her heart warm slightly.Her life was undoubtedly difficult during the past five years and she had been the subject of everyone's d

"Go ahead! Buy whatever you want!" Severin said with a smile."Dad! Mom! Hurry up!" Selene was in a buoyant mood as she walked, and it was clear that her happiness was different than usual."I've never seen her so happy in a long time!" A smile appeared on Diane's face as she looked at Selene. The only reason she could persevere up until then was because of her daughter.Severin grinned. "That's because she saw her parents being all lovey-dovey with each other!""Quit it. When did I get lovey dovey with you?" Diane rolled her eyes at Severin and quickened her pace. Severin soon led the two of them into the shopping mall."Don't go to the second floor!" Diane stopped him in a panic when she saw him planning to go up to the second floor."What's wrong?" Severin frowned. "Doesn't the sign above say that the second floor is for women's clothing?"That was when Diane explained. "The stores on the first floor are cheaper. The most expensive ones are several hundred dollars. The second

After flashing a forced smile to Severin, she turned to a young assistant near her. "Hey, Bree, will you be all right if I handed these customers over to you? You need to make a good impression since you're new and all!""Oh, sure, Miss Debra!"The young female saleswoman nodded, and then said to Severin and Diane, "Sir, ma'am, good afternoon. These right here are all our new models. You have a good figure, ma'am, and I think a person of your grace should try them!"Debra walked to one side and chatted secretly with two of the more seasoned employees. "Bree's pretty dumb, isn't she? I didn't think she'd be brave enough to accept those customers after I said I'll pass them to her. She's wasting her time with them!"Another of the senior employees said, "How can someone who looks like a farmer be able to afford our clothes? That was mean of you to pass them over to Bree!""Tch. You can't blame me if she accepts them. Did you see how respectfully she's explaining the new models to th
Life After Prison Chapter 41
Edward was fuming with anger, which was to be expected given that he had been waiting several years for Diane. Furthermore, her parents' attitude toward him the other day seemed to suggest that they were in favor of the marriage. It was hard for him not to get angry when he saw Diane shopping with other men.Diane walked out in the beautiful dress, and at this moment, she looked even more angelic after changing out of her food delivery uniform. Even Severin was mesmerized by the sight of her.There were hints of elegance in her beauty, yet her cold temperament was still very much prevalent in her characters. Furthermore, her womanly nature was even more pronounced then, which could perhaps be attributed to her being a mother!"How do I look? Does it look pretty on me?" Diane felt a little embarrassed when she found Severin staring at her, and her face blushed slightly as she posed him that question."It looks divine! How could it not look anything but beautiful on you? It's almost
