Life After Prison

Stanley was speechless for a moment. “What are you trying to imply, Severin? Why did you look at me at sigh?”

“I can see that your health is getting worse. Your face is a little pale, and you’re physically weak too. Try to cut down on the time you spend at hotels and with women, or else your body will give way soon!” Having given that advice, Severin made a point to add, “By the way, you’re aware that I have medical skills, right? Would you like me to prescribe some herbal supplements for you?”

“Hell no! I know my body well, and it’s not weak!” Stanley gritted his teeth angrily and shot back, but in truth, he was a little worried because Severin’s observations had been spot – on. He recently realized that he could not last as long in bed. anymore, only a few minutes at most, and felt ashamed when Severin pointed that out.

Although the rest of the Shanahans did not make any

comments, they looked at Stanley somewhat oddly because they knew that Severin’s medical skills were indeed good.

Judging from how Stanley reacted, Severin’s comments had to

have hit the nail on the head!

The old lady sensed Stanley’s embarrassment and

immediately changed the subject. “By the way, Severin, why aren’t your parents here yet? They shouldn’t be late for such a

momentous occasion!”

Severin then said embarrassingly, “They’ve never attended such a huge event before, and they decided not to come because they’re afraid of accidentally committing a faux pas. They’ll still attend the celebrations at the hotel later in the evening though!”

The old lady nodded in approval and felt that Maurice and Judith were very understanding individuals. However, Stanley laughed from behind. “Hehe, it’s only right for them to do so. They’re poor, after all, and those who are here today are all rich. Our family went through a lot just to come here, and it’d be such an embarrassment to us if they came and made fools out of themselves!”

“What nonsense are you going on about, Stanley?” Catherine lashed out. “They’re being considerate toward us, and here you are badmouthing them!” The old lady then turned around and glared at Stanley while saying, “Are you still interested to attend the event? If you’re not, then you’re free to leave!” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“But, Grandma! I’m telling the truth!” Stanley did not know how else to respond. He did not expect that the old lady would yell at him in defense of Severin’s parents, but he nonetheless spoke softer when he protested.

“Ah, Severin’s here too!” Edward came over with a few of his bodyguards.

“It’s been a while!” Severin chuckled and spoke in a calm tone.

“Fancy seeing you here, Edward!” Catherine smiled

awkwardly. Though she knew that Edward would be unhappy

that Diane chose Severin over him, it was not like there was anything she could do about it.

Severin had proved to be a reliable person, and Diane liked Severin a lot too. That, coupled with the fact that Diane’s daughter was also Severin’s biological daughter, meant that there was nothing she

could do about Diane’s choice.

Furthermore, the Shanahans had benefited from Severin too.

Edward did not even bother to look at the old lady and turned to Severin instead. “It’s a miracle that a person like you is even allowed to attend such an event!”

Severin sneered. “Miracle? Pfft, you ain’t seen anything yet! There’s more where that came from!”
