Life After Prison

Chapter 197

Stanley was incredibly angry, but he could only suck it all up when facing an intimidating Diane. After all, he knew that it would be of little benefit to him if he caused any trouble.

“Yes, ma’am. You have the final say now that you’re the general manager!” In the end, Stanley could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

“I’m glad you’re aware that I’m the general manager! Remember to knock on the door the next time you wish to come in!” Diane remembered as she watched Stanley turn around and prepare to leave. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Stanley walked to the door, turned around, and shot Diane a cold look. “Don’t be so smug, Diane. I trust that Grandma adores me more than you. Besides, the launch of the Liberty City project is in a few days’ time, and if Severin hasn’t secured anything for the Shanahans by then, do you still think. your position as the general manager will remain secure?”

“I have nothing to worry about because I believe in my man!” Although Diane was not very confident that things would work out, she still said that with conviction in order to keep the momentum going at that time.

Stanley walked out and slammed the office door shut to vent his anger.

“You bought a nearly-completed unit, so it looks like the keys will be handed to you in about a month. Congratulations!” Severin said to Queenie while they were looking at some cars in a car

showroom.

Although Queenie still has about a-hundred-thousand dollars left, she had decided to spend no more than thirty thousand dollars on a car. As for the rest of the money, she planned to use it to renovate the house and start a small business along the way.

“I never thought there’d be a day where I’ll own a car and a house! Still, I don’t feel completely happy just yet, because I’m worried that Hugh might cause trouble again. I have no idea who his backer is, but I heard that they’re super scary.” Queenie was still very worried after buying her car.

Severin said nonchalantly, “Relax. I was the one who beat him up, not you! If you’re still scared, you’re welcome to stay at our place for a few more days. There’s plenty of rooms anyway, so you’ll definitely be comfortable there. Plus, I’m also on good terms with Henry and the Longhorns, and they’re a first- tier upper-class family! There’s no need for you to worry so much, okay?”

“You know the Longhorns?” Queenie knew that the Longhorns had a lot of assets and felt a little more relieved to hear that Severin knew Henry. “Okay, I won’t worry so much. Thanks again for buying me a car and a house. We only lent your family eight thousand dollars, but you returned so much more than that to us! I don’t know how else to thank you. How about you let me treat you to lunch?” Queenie suggested as she looked at Severin in appreciation.

Severin smiled. “It’s no big deal, Queenie. You have no idea how worried I was about my parents when I was in prison. I felt helpless because there was nothing that I could do to help them. Your family isn’t rich, and yet you’ve been helping my family when I wasn’t around. All this money I’ve given you is not even enough to repay the kindness you and your parents have shown!”

After saying that, Severin became a little emotional. “Tch. I still remember Lucy telling me that she’d wait for me to be released from prison. I can’t believe I trusted her. I thought she’d take care of my parents, and I foolishly believed that they would at least get by until my release because her family was more well-off than us. It was only when I was released that I realized how miserable my parents have been during those past five years!”

Severin clenched his fists tightly as he thought of how his parents had been subjugated to a life of worry and fear in all those years. He gritted his teeth angrily and said, “But it’s fine now. I won’t let

Easton and Lucy off so easily for all the hurt they caused. I’m going to take my time to deal with them and let them understand the meaning of regret. Killing them right away is much too merciful a punishment for them!”

Queenie could not help herself from getting goosebumps when she felt the suffocating

murderous aura from Severin. She did not expect his body to emit such a terrifying aura, and it was something that could only be felt instead of seen.
