Life After Prison

Chapter 225

Gaston stood rooted to the ground as the corners of his mouth twitched violently. Borrowing money from the Emerald Cloud Gang was a foolish move. Their men were ruthless people, and he could not afford to provoke them.

Besides, he asked to borrow money from Severin because there was no interest, and he could either pay

it back slowly or perhaps even have the debt written off eventually. Had it not been for those two factors, he would never have asked to borrow money from Severin.

“What a d*ck. I got nothing after flattering him!” In the end, Gaston could only grit his teeth and drive away.

Finn’s family arrived home very soon, and they were very happy when they recalled that Severin would give their family two hundred thousand dollars. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Along the way, Evan could not contain his excitement and immediately said to his parents, Mom, Dad, I’m going to meet Whitney and tell her that I can marry her now!”

“What are you waiting for then!” Edwina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw how excited her son was. She did not forget to slip in a reminder to Evan and say, “Don’t forget your cousin’s kindness, Evan? The favor he’s shown us is something that we’ll never be able to repay in a million lifetimes!”

Evan nodded. “I understand, Mom. As long as there’s anything I can be of use to me in the future, I promise to work very hard for him!”

Evan then immediately called his girlfriend, Whitney Summer, and asked to meet in the park where they usually went on dates. It did not take long for Whitney to arrive with a luggage bag. “Whitney?

What’s up?” Evan frowned when he saw the luggage bag she was dragging along. Whitney looked around as if she was afraid of being followed. Once she finally saw that there was no one around, she said nervously to Evan, “I’ve made up my mind, Evan. Let’s elope. I can’t help that my parents insist on us buying a house, but where are you going to get the money when you just graduated? I think it’s best that we elope!”

“But that won’t be good, right? Won’t your parents be very sad!” Evan felt touched by her gesture when he heard that.

“Are you worried about having to let go of your job? It’s true that you’ve landed a good position and your future is secure, but we can’t be together if we don’t elope. I…I’m worried my parents will force me to marry a rich man. I don’t want that, Evan! I only want to be with you!” Whitney’s eyes were red as she said that and she felt like crying because of how sad she

was.

Evan smiled and took her hand. “You don’t need to worry about that anymore, because we’ll be together. We can afford a house and the dowry now! I promise we’ll be there for each other, and I swear we’ll get your parents’ blessing!”

“What are you talking about? Where did you get so much money?” Whitney asked bitterly. ” Please don’t lie to me to make me feel better. Let’s just elope!”

Evan then said, “My cousin gave it to me. He’s now very rich and lives in a villa that’s worth

millions. I’ve had a good relationship with him since we were young, and our family has been very kind to theirs too. He knows our situation right now, so he said he’ll give me two hundred. thousand so I can be with you!”

“Two h-h-h-hundred thousand?” Whitney’s eyes widened and she wondered if she had heard it wrongly. It was simply unthinkable that someone could just give away two hundred thousand dollars! ‘Just how rich is his cousin?’

“Yes. I’m not lying to you. There’s still a lot left over even after we use the money for the

dowry and the house. When the time comes, we’ll use what’s left over to renovate our house

and buy a car. It’s enough for our wedding too. We can be together now, Whitney!” Evan hugged her tightly while assuring her.
