Life After Prison

Chapter 218

“Wonderful! I heard that the food here is quite expensive, so by the looks of it, Severin has turned into a very promising young man!” Vincent smiled awkwardly and then took out the cigarettes he bought from a supermarket down the street. He distributed them to Simon and the others as he said, “Have a smoke, Simon! Enjoy the cigarettes!”

Severin and Diane exchanged glances at each other. He had told Diane everything about his family’s relationship with Vincent, and neither of them would expect him to be so shameless as to go there uninvited.

Vincent probably only brought his family there after seeing Marie mention the Bloomington Hotel on social media, and to put it bluntly, they could be best described as a ‘fair-weather’ family.

“Come on in and have a seat! We’ll get the waiter to start serving you food once we are seated! “Vincent was Severin’s elder after all, and there was nothing Severin could do or say when Vincent was so thick-skinned. All he could do was welcome his uncle with a smile.

The entire table was soon full of people, and Vincent could not help but exclaim when he looked at the luxurious VIP room. “Heavens, is this how the VIP room in a five-star hotel looks like? It probably cost a couple of thousand to reserve the room, in addition to a one- time minimum spend of several thousand! None of us can even dream of achieving such a thing!”

“Several thousand? How ignorant!” Gaston scoffed disdainfully on one side and said, “This is a place not even we can dream of affording. The minimum spent here is a hundred and fifty thousand!”

“A-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars!” Vincent gulped in fright and had plenty of vivid expressions on his face.

“You stuck it big, huh, Severin? Who’s this pretty lady, by the way?” Vincent snapped back to his senses after a brief daze, and was curious when he looked at Diane who was sitting next to

Severin.

Diane was good-looking and had a rather unique temperament. Even though she was just sitting there without doing anything, she gave everyone the impression that there was more to her than at first glance.

That was when Severin stood up and introduced with a smile, “Most of you might not know who she is yet, but this is my wife, Diane Shanahan. She’s a daughter of the Shanahans and the current general manager of the Shanahan Corporation!”

He then glanced at Selene who was sitting beside him and said with a smile, “This is my daughter, Selene!”

“Diane? They’re a true blue third-tier family with assets over a hundred and fifty million dollars! I never expected to meet her in person here!” Gaston was shocked and could not help but flatter her, “Miss Diane, my nephew is truly lucky to have the honor of marrying you.”

Though he spoke in a praising manner, he thought to himself with a sneer, ‘So that’s why Severin could afford to pay for this meal. He got lucky and met a rich woman!’

Although he begrudged Severin’s with all his heart, he had to admit that Severin made good

Judith smiled awkwardly. “Sorry about that, Vincent. I’ve been really busy recently, and I just happened to forget. I was worried you wouldn’t have the time either! But you’re here now, so go on in! The food’s been ordered too!”

“Wonderful! I heard that the food here is quite expensive, so by the looks of it, Severin has turned into a very promising young man!” Vincent smiled awkwardly and then took out the cigarettes he bought from a supermarket down the street.

Although he begrudged Severin’s with all his heart, he had to admit that Severin made good.

use of his youth and handsome looks to marry a woman who could support him financially. Gaston then looked at his fat and donkey-eared son Pierre, and felt that no rich woman would ever fall for someone like that.

Pierre, however, was jealous of Severin for being able to marry such a good-looking wife, so he could not help remarking sourly, “That explains how you were able to treat us to such an expensive meal. It’s because you married a rich woman! Then again, I don’t think Miss Diane will even consider someone like you if she doesn’t have a child?”

Gaston pulled a long face when he heard that. The Shanahans were a family that they could not and should not provoke. ‘Did Pierre knock his head on the wall or something? He shouldn’t say something like that even if he’s upset! If Diane is offended, she’ll make sure all of us will have a difficult life!’

He glared at Pierre and said coldly, “What nonsense are you talking about? They married because fate brought them together!”

Queenie immediately chimed in as well. “Yeah, the two of them are fated to be together. Selene is Severin and Diane’s daughter, so please don’t make any wild guesses about their

relationship!”
