"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

At that moment, the woman next to Edward sneered and said, "Are you that clueless, Edward? Do you honestly think that this woman can endure loneliness? She's probably the kind of woman who pretends to be chaste but slept with a lot of men in reality. These people are very good at putting on a facade, you know. There's a word for these women—hypocrites!""To hell with you. I don't care if you want to demean me, but don't you dare say that about my woman!" Severin clenched his fist again after hearing that. "You deserve a spanking!""Edward, look! This loser here wants to hit me!" The woman immediately hid behind Edward, but ironically, her expression seemed to warn him not to lay a hand on her.However, Diane pulled Severin forcefully and shot him a look that signaled for him not to be impulsive.She then stepped forward and said, "Do you think I'm that kind of woman, Edward? Besides, you have a wife, and yet here you are shopping with another woman and telling me that you love me.

"Screw you!" Severin fumed with rage. He could still tolerate it if other people badmouthed him, but the one thing he could never accept was hearing someone call his daughter a b*stard child!In a flash, he kicked Edward in the stomach and sent the latter tumbling to the ground."Ack!" Edward spat out a mouthful of blood. A shocked expression appeared on his face, as if bewildered at being kicked by a loser like Edward."Why is it so hard for you to keep your composure, Severin?" Diane was horrified because she knew that Edward was the scion of a second-tier upper-class family. While there was no doubt that she was just as angry at Edward for the things he said, Severin's reaction would only make things worse!"Honey, I can bear with many things, but hearing this son-of-a-b*tch calling Selene a b*stard isn't one of them!" Severin said angrily."Why are you guys just standing there? Beat him up!" Edward struggled to get up and ordered his bodyguards viciously."Mom, I'm scared!" S

"Y-yes, sir!" Bree was so frightened that her voice was trembling slightly. 'Who in world is this guy?' she wondered. 'He didn't even think twice before hitting Mister Edward.'Diane tried on several garments again, all of which looked exceptionally good on her."I'll take them all!" Severin smiled in satisfaction. He turned to Bree and said, "Could you let me know how much it all costs?""You're taking…all…of them?" Bree was taken aback. The most expensive set that they tried on cost upward of about ten thousand, and the cheaper ones were worth a thousand or so. In total there were seven or eight garments, and their price would almost certainly come to a total of well over forty thousand."That I am. Did I not make myself clear?" Severin smiled faintly."Isn't it a little excessive?" Diane found his gesture to be a little sweet because she never expected Severin to be so willing to spend money on her. Still, those five difficult years of her life made her feel that buying all tho
