Charmaine was appalled, not to mention a little displeased, when Severin spoke to her in such a tone. She pulled a long face and faked a smile as she said, "Am I not allowed to ask what kind of medicine you gave my grandfather? This is the first time I've ever seen a cerebral hemorrhage being treated without surgery. Isn't it miraculous that you could cure it with some pressure here and there, along with a single pill?"After questioning Severin, Charmaine stretched her open palm to him and demanded more answers. "Are you a doctor? Do you have a medical qualification certificate? Show it to me!"Severin shook his head, "I don't have any, and besides, I don't think they're important. What's important is that I saved your grandfather, which I did, didn't I? Or are you more eager to see him dead?" He stared at her briefly before continuing, "I can't be bothered to explain myself to you. Your knowledge of the world is pretty shallow if this is the first time you've seen something like th
Charmaine nodded. "Yeah, I understand, Grandpa. I just didn't think that someone dressed like that could actually be some sort of prodigious doctor. Logically speaking, someone like him wouldn't be short of money, right?""Hehe." Henry chuckled. "Savants like him probably treat this as training!" Severin had piqued his curiosity greatly."Training?" Charmaine's brows furrowed and she seemed a little puzzled."Training the mind is a form of training too. Great recluses might choose to stay at a city and keep a low-profile. Some savants might already be able to see through many things. Anyway, the thoughts of such reclusive savants aren't something that ordinary people like us are able to figure out!"Henry chuckled, and then said poignantly, "The reason us Longhorns are where we are today is in no small part due to a savant that helped us in the past!"Charmaine nodded pensively after hearing that.At that moment, Severin had already arrived outside a bank. He frowned when he look
"Only ten in existence? Even those with a net worth of billions might not have the privilege of owning them?!" After hearing those remarks, the woman who had peed herself earlier proceeded to pee herself again. She felt as though the neurons in her brain had short-circuited.Nevertheless, she still could not believe that a disheveled, hobo-like young man in worn-out clothes could have that much money.She looked up to the branch director and said to him, "This must have been a mistake, right? Who knows if that bank card is a fake? Maybe it just looks the same? Do you really think someone like him could own a card like that? Is he fit to own such a card?"Severin frowned immediately after hearing that. "And what kind of person would you deem fit enough to own such a card? Someone like yourself?"The woman, though still somewhat reluctant to accept what was happening, kept quiet when she remembered how strong his strength was.The bank's branch director said coldly, "I've only seen
Severin gave it a little thought before finally deciding to walk up to the door and knock on it."Who is it?" The beautiful woman frowned when she heard the knock on the door and immediately walked over. She looked carefully at Severin and seemed to be a little lost in thought."Hi, may I ask who are you?" Severin asked in a serious tone as he stared at the flawlessly beautiful woman in front of her."I'm the one who should be asking you that question. You're the one who came to me, after all." The woman smiled and folded her arms. Mere words could not describe just how beautiful that smile was.Severin frowned and said, "Oh, my name is Severin Feuillet. I'd like to know who you are and why you're helping my parents by giving them money every month. You call yourself a friend of mine, but I don't really remember having someone like you as a friend!" He had this feeling at the back of his mind that the woman in front of him was a little familiar, just that he could not remember who
"Timothy Tanner?" Severin's face soured as he looked at the grinning man in front of him. He was a little unhappy, but he forced a smile and asked, "What's with the two of you?"Quinn smiled triumphantly, "Can't you see? We're both married. We got married not too long after graduation! It's such a shame that you couldn't come to our wedding, but we understand. You were in prison, after all!"Severin's expression sank even more. Although Timothy and Quinn were all smiles, their words belied hints of a superiority complex. Perhaps they felt that way because Severin excelled back in college and was president of the student council!"Where are you heading, Severin?" Timothy asked."Oh, the Richemont Hotel!" Severin said casually."I see! You're attending Lucy's wedding too? Well, hop in!" Timothy smiled. "Don't worry, your clothes might be a bit old, but it doesn't really bother me. You should get the chance to experience what it feels like to sit in an Audi!""Sitting in an Audi, eh
"You can't be serious? Henry is treating you to a meal?" Timothy and Quinn were completely dumbfounded."That's absolutely impossible. Do you think he's just any old man? Do you know who he is?" Timothy then explained, "He is at the helm of the Longhorns', and the Longhorns are only one of three first-tier upper-class families here in Brookbourn. One small move from them will send waves through Brookbourn, and decision they make will change Brookbourn's future! Why would someone like that treat you to dinner?"Severin thought over what Timothy said and asked him, "What about the Loughs? Are they on the same level as the Longhorns?"Timothy immediately said, "Of course not! The Loughs aren't even a third-tier upper-class family, and at best, they're just wealthy businesspeople. Their business has been growing very steadily in the past few years, and they might just become a third-tier upper-class family soon. The Loughs' have a net worth in excess of fifteen million, but they're far
"You must be nuts if you think you can beat all those people, Severin. Don't go and get yourself killed!" Quinn, who was walking beside him, was taken aback by what happened to him. There was no longer any doubt that Severin was a foolhardy individual, otherwise he would not have been sentenced to prison at all."Severin, you came too?! What a surprise!" A guy in a suit came over at that moment and exclaimed with a smile.Severin merely glanced indifferently at the other party. "Fat Pat? You're here too?""Isn't that obvious? We're all college classmates, so of course we're going to attend Lucy's wedding!" Patrick Reece, whom everyone called Fat Pat, said with a sarcastic look on his face. He then added, "By the way, when you and I were going after Lucy, she looked down on me and got together with you. I remember how smug you were at that time. Look at you now. Can you even see what you've become? You dress like some hobo!"Upon seeing Severin's silence, Patrick continued to rub sa
Lucy took a step forward, glared fiercely at Severin, and said, "We couldn't get married because you went to prison, Severin. Am I to blame for that? Why should I return the money?" She folded her arms and then said proudly, "Living in poverty must've driven you crazy. You're asking me for money because you don't have any after coming out of prison, right? I wasted three years of my youth during our three-year relationship, and that forty thousand is just about enough to compensate me for the time lost. A little over ten thousand a year shouldn't be much, right?""Tch!" Severin never expected her to say that so righteously. Enraged, he glared at Lucy and said, "So is your youth all that matters? What about mine?" Severin asked while walking slowly toward Lucy. "I bought you whatever you wanted during those three years. Have I not been good enough to you? I'm on your beck and call. I listen to whatever you say, and I've treated you so well. And what about you? What have you done for me
