Semua Bab Life After Prison: Bab 251 - Bab 260

"Hehe, is that so? I'll keep my eyes peeled then!" Edward chuckled, but there was an underlying expression in his gaze. By his estimation, Diane would soon be his because Severin's days were numbered! Therefore, he viewed Severin's comments as nothing but a big fat joke."Haha, make sure you watch closely!" Severin laughed and did not take Edward seriously at all.Edward's lips twitched violently several times and he could only grit his teeth and say, "You should watch your step." He then turned to Diane and said, "Now's not too late for you to back out of your relationship with him. You'll regret it if you don't!" He left her a harsh reminder and then turned around and left without looking back.Over at the other end, the Chavezes had arrived too. When Rufus saw Severin, he gritted his teeth angrily and his face turned blue when he thought of the humiliation that he suffered a day ago. Manuel noticed his son's dampened mood and could not help but say, "How long has it been since th

Severin was utterly speechless. 'Why does she have to be that excited? And to make things worse, she came up to me and gave me a hug in public!'"Keep your distance and stop hugging me. You shouldn't just throw your arms over a man, you know." Severin reminded her hastily, and he was afraid that Diane would be unhappy to see what happened."What are you doing, Sheila? You're a big girl now! This is unbecoming of you!" Zachariah walked over and glared at Sheila. She let go of Severin in embarrassment, walked over, and pulled her father over to make some introductions. "It's him, Dad! He's the savior I told you about! He helped me out big time yesterday!""Mister Zachariah!" Diane was taken aback at first and wondered why Sheila was hugging her man.When she saw Zachariah approaching them, she immediately looked over at him in surprise. Catherine and the rest of the Shanahans came over right away too, as they were curious to know what was going on at that moment.Zachariah nodded to

Severin never expected that Sheila would ask such an awkward question in public. After figuring out a way to diffuse the situation, he immediately changed the subject and asked, "You were given a prearranged quota too, right?"Sheila merely smiled. "Yeah, it's decent. The Longhorns gave us two spots in advance, and both locations are very good too. Aside from that, we're mainly here to officiate the ribbon-cutting. Once that's out of the way, Mister Henry will announce the number of quotas, starting with those that have been prearranged, and ending with those that have secured their approval based on the latest information given."Severin nodded. "Well, that sounds great!""Welcome one and all to the launching of the Liberty City project! The ceremony will start soon, so may I please invite everyone to come and take their seats!" An attractive thirty-something emcee announced loudly on the stage.The guests all set down their glasses of wine and walked over quickly to find a seat.

"Holy crap! Severin must be ridiculously bold to punch the head of a third-tier family like the Stones!"Some people were so shocked that their mouths were agape and they could not believe that Severin would dare to hit Victor."Ah!" Jada was so frightened that she took several steps back and covered her mouth in disbelief. Victor fell to the ground and had a nosebleed."What are you doing, Severin? How can you punch the head of the Stones? Aren't you going to apologize to him?" Catherine was terrified and shouted at Severin, mainly because it brought them no benefit to offend a third-tier family and might even be disadvantageous because there was a possibility that they might retaliate in the future. Secondly, they were at the launching of the Longhorns' project, and the fuss Severin made was tantamount to disrespecting the Longhorn family. He might as well just slap one of the Longhorns after what he did!"God, he's so handsome! I like a man who takes a bull by the horn!" Unlike

Jada, who was standing beside Victor, complained to him. "Why did you have to be so stupid, Dad? It's all over now. We lost the quota that originally belonged to us, and worst of all, we offended the Longhorns. Our life will only get more difficult from today on."Victor protested, "I thought I had a good relationship with Gideon, and that he'd come and help me. And besides, my remark wasn't straightforward at all. I just hinted that Diane got the two quotas even though she just became the general manager. It's up to other people to think what they want to think.""You might as well have just spit it out after what you said. People aren't idiots, you know." Jada was even more speechless as he said to Victor, "Why did you feel the need to do that when we've already hired a four stars assassin? For all we know, the assassin will probably arrive in Brookbourn by today or tomorrow, and Severin will be dead by then! Your actions just caused us a tremendous amount of loss, Dad!""Damn it!
