Life After Prison

Chapter 220

Halfway through the meal, Vincent had the cheek to go over to raise a toast to Severin.

Since Vincent was his elder and Severin felt that it would be impolite of him to refuse, he had no choice but to smile and accept the toast. Unexpectedly, Vincent remained beside Severin rather than going back to his own seat, and he even bowed down with a smile. “Look at you. You’re a rich guy now! A giant among men! Our family can never hope to reach such heights!”

Severin frowned as he felt that Vincent was trying to imply something. He smiled and shrugged it off. “We’re not that rich, Uncle Vincent. There are tons of people who are richer than us.”

“You’re too humble, I say! If you ask me, you’re as rich as they come!” After Vincent finished saying that, he seemed a little embarrassed as he said, “Sigh, things aren’t as good now as it was before. Our house may be big, but its suburban location makes it quite a distance from the city. By the way, your cousin is thirty-two this year, and he finally got a girlfriend!” Following a brief pause, Vincent continued awkwardly, “But she insists that your cousin buy a

us!” house near the city or else she wouldn’t get married to him. This is starting to worry

Severin’s heart skipped a beat. He thought that Vincent wanted to get a free meal after seeing his sister post the photo on social media of him treating everyone to lunch, but as it turned out, the man came there just to borrow money from him! Severin never expected Vincent to be so thick-skinned and shameless, especially since the latter had disliked Severin’s family for being poor and even cut off all contact with them for so many years. Amazingly, Vincent had no qualms coming over and borrowing money as soon as he found out that Severin’s family. had gotten rich.

Severin smiled awkwardly. “I’m sure your family has saved a lot of money too, right? It should be enough for the down payment.”

“I’m afraid it isn’t. Think about it, we can afford the downpayment if we stretch our finances, but we’d still have to renovate the place and hold a nice big wedding. And that’s not the worst part: the interest rates that those banks charge is insane!” Having ended his sentence, Vincent continued, “I was planning on borrowing some money from you!”

“From me?” Severin frowned. Vincent’s tone suggested that he wanted to borrow a sum that could cover all the expenses, including for the renovations and the wedding. ‘How is that ” some” money?’

The other party smiled, stretched out two fingers, and said with a smile. “Relax, it’s not that much. I did the math already, and three hundred thousand is more than enough. Is that okay with you?”

Gaston and Clement looked at each other with strange expressions. ‘Three hundred thousand is more than enough? Easy for you to say.’

However, they wanted to see if Severin would lend the money to Vincent, because if he did, then they would also try to find an excuse to ask for some money from him. If Severin could afford a meal that cost a-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars, then there should be no issue with asking to borrow three hundred thousand dollars. After all, it was probably just a drop in the sea for him!

“Yes, yes. We should! Man, this is the Dragon Lake Vista we’re talking about! It’s a rich person’s place.” Although Pierre was very jealous, he could only keep it to himself and say with a smile, “Once we’re there, I’m going to take a few photos and post them on social media just to show off a little!”

“Yeah, we have to take more pictures!” his mother echoed.

Besides, Severin was filthy rich, and if any of his relatives did not pay back what he had. borrowed in the future, he might feel bad to ask him to pay him back. Severin rubbed the bridge of his nose and smiled slightly at Vincent’s expectant gaze. “Three hundred thousand isn’t a lot at all!”

Vincent was ecstatic when he heard that it seemed that there was hope for him yet. He

immediately poured some wine into his glass and Severin’s glass before raising it and saying, ” Don’t worry, Severin. If you support me, then I’ll give you my word that your kindness will forever be remembered! Here’s a toast to you, and a thank you in advance too!”

Severin’s mouth twitched a few times. “Whoa there, Uncle Vincent. What were you thinking? I didn’t say I would lend it to you! Where am I supposed to get so much money?”
