Semua Bab Life After Prison: Bab 451 - Bab 460

While Mick brought his men to the Blood-Drinker Gang, Severin drove back to the Shanahans with Diane and Megan.At that moment, Catherine was pacing nervously in the yard along with other members of the Shanahans. Though they all appeared calm on the surface, they were feeling somewhat anxious in their hearts and wanted to know whether the invitation card had been successfully handed out."They're back!" Catherine's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Severin arriving with Diane and Megan. She immediately walked over to them with William, George, and the others.Felicia could not bear the suspense and asked immediately after going up to them, "How did it go? Did you manage to hand over the invitation card?"Stanley sneered at one side. "There are probably hundreds of people who handed out invitations today, and they probably only accepted less than ten. The chances that they'll accept our invitation card are slim, so don't get your hopes up!"Unexpectedly, Megan smiled the next second

Diane could tell from the beginning that everyone in the Shanahans wanted Severin to marry Sheila. That would essentially make the Ballards and the Shanahans one family, and it would be of tremendous importance to the Shanahans' development. They had nothing to lose and everything to gain, for it was something that many families dreamed of having.As a result, Diane had been feeling conflicted for the past few days. After all, she never thought that an ex-convict like Severin could still attract the affection of such a young lady. Many rich and powerful young men, especially those from upper-class families, had more than one wife and many other women outside of the home too. It seemed to be the norm for them. Diane, however, had always been an unyielding character, and she felt that Severin—being the ordinary man that he was—was already extremely lucky that he got the chance to marry her.Little did she expect him to become more and more promising by the day, and the Shanahans' recen

Everyone was speechless at that moment, as they did not expect to be subject to a public display of affection between the couple.Catherine nodded too, because Severin spoke the truth. After all, no one could guarantee what would happen in the future, but what Severin said then was undoubtedly the facts. For the moment at least, Severin had not developed any strong feelings toward Sheila.'It appears Miss Sheila will have to work doubly hard now. Severin doesn't hate her, and judging from his evaluation of her, he believes that she is a good young girl too. Looks like I'll have to talk with Miss Sheila sometime soon!' the old lady thought to herself."Mister Stanley, Mister Stanley! You and your father are going viral now!" All of a sudden, a young maid ran up to Stanley and said excitedly.Stanley was feeling a little upset after having to face Severin and Diane's affectionate behavior earlier, and his expression darkened even more when he saw the maid running over to him. "What's

Diane and Severin looked at each other and could not help but smile. It seemed to be quite easy to satisfy Stanley, especially since he had found a way to earn a living."Let's go. We need to prepare our gifts and attend the banquet at Brookbourn Mansion!" Catherine finally said with a smile.Before long, the Shanahans had prepared their gifts and were planning to rush to Brookbourn Mansion.…Over at Riverson, Mus Hall's Mick had brought several of his elders to the Blood-Drinker Gang and explained the entire situation to their leader, Tharan.Tharan could not help but frown when he said that. "Just how bold is this Severin guy? He kidnapped your daughter, and he even threatened you and asked you to bring your men to save her?"The great elder said, "Judging from the situation, Severin's attainment level is far from low. Mus Hall's Lauren is a level three profound master, and yet she couldn't be a match for him!"Menkel, the second elder, frowned and said, "Why do I feel like h

By the time Mick and others set off, Severin and the Shanahans had already arrived at the Ballards.At that moment, dozens of tables had already been set up in a large courtyard outside the house. An endless stream of people came to congratulate the Ballards, and they even gave the Ballards lots of valuable gifts. Even so, many of them could not help but feel that the painting given by the Shanahans was an exceptionally generous move on the latter's part, considering how expensive the painting was.After all, such items could not be forged. "Congratulations, ma'am! You seem to be more and more energetic with age, and the Shanahans have been progressing rather well recently too!" Some wealthy businessmen came over to greet Catherine, and they were clearly very optimistic about the Shanahans' future.George, Catherine, and the others chatted with the many guests there. Severin, on the other hand, walked to a quiet and isolated place where he could smoke a cigarette without being in an
