Life After Prison

Chapter 216

“Haha, I was surprised too when Severin remembered our kind act after he got rich!” Simon went to see their new house this morning and was very satisfied too. He was all smiles as he thought of the good days that lay ahead of him.

“Judging from the looks on their faces, I think they’re telling the truth!” Clement’s expression soured as he took a step forward and said softly to Gaston.

Gaston nodded too, and his expression was just as unpleasant. Judith and Maurice came to him a few times at the beginning, but he always sent them away by telling them that he was busy, or that the company was short of cash. He did not expect Severin to become so rich as to be able to give four- hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars at once. Since Severin was financially able to fork out that big a sum, Gaston believed that Severin was much richer than a multi- millionaire like himself, and that Severin might have hundreds of millions in assets too.

“Oh, you’re all here! Hurry up and come on in! We just reserved the VIP room!” At that moment, Judith, Maurice, Severin and others also came to the hotel lobby.

“VIP room?” Gaston’s face had soured to the extreme. He was the richest among all his relatives and had always looked down on everyone else, so when his second brother’s family suddenly became richer than his, he was very upset because it felt like he had been stepped on.. Worse of all, it was the poorest family of them all that suddenly became richer than him!

“Yeah, let’s go! It’s on the third floor!” Severin smiled faintly, looked at the crowd, then frowned again. “Hey, Mom, why isn’t Aunt Edwina here?”

“Well, your cousin is meeting a prospective partner today and his family won’t have the time to come. It’ll just be the few of us today!” Judith then explained.

“I see. Alright then.” Severin smiled and led the people in. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I can’t believe they reserved a VIP room on the third floor…” Gaston muttered in disbelief.

Clement felt that something was off. “What’s so special about the VIP rooms on the third floor?”

“There are only a few VIP rooms, and they’re all huge and luxurious. Each room requires a minimum spend. The cheapest one requires a fifteen thousand minimum spend, while some require a seventy- five thousand minimum spend. I wouldn’t dare to go to the third floor. The only time I’d step foot here is if I meet some very important customers or secure some big contracts, and even then, I’d only take the cheapest VIP room.”

Severin smiled and said, “Don’t worry so much about it, Uncle Gaston. The food’s already been ordered. I’ve also ordered a few bottles of wine for starters, and we can always add more if it’s not enough!”

As they all spoke, they found themselves led up the third floor by a beautiful waiter. After reaching the third floor, Gaston walked in the direction of VIP room 111. As rich as Severin might be, Gaston felt that he would at most reserve VIP room 111 which had a minimum spend of fifteen thousand dollars.

However, Severin stopped and said to Gaston, “That’s not our room. Ours is VIP room 888!”

“Eight…eight…eight…? Gaston was even more shocked when he heard that, because that room

had a minimum spend of a-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars!
