Life After Prison

“Hehe, is that so? I’ll keep my eyes peeled then!” Edward chuckled, but there was an underlying expression in his gaze. By his estimation, Diane would soon be his because Severin’s days were numbered! Therefore, he viewed Severin’s comments as nothing but a big fat joke.

“Haha, make sure you watch closely!” Severin laughed and did

not take Edward seriously at all.

Edward’s lips twitched violently several times and he could only grit his teeth and say, “You should watch your step.” He

then turned to Diane and said, “Now’s not too late for you to

back out of your relationship with him. You’ll regret it if you

don’t!” He left her a harsh reminder and then turned around

and left without looking back.

Over at the other end, the Chavezes had arrived too. When

Rufus saw Severin, he gritted his teeth angrily and his face turned blue when he thought of the humiliation that he

suffered a day ago. Manuel noticed his son’s dampened mood and could not help but say, “How long has it been since that incident happened, Rufus? Are you seriously still angry about Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

it?”

Rufus smiled deliberately. “Duh. Who told him to snatch away

my dream woman?”

Manuel frowned. “I’ve sent someone to launch an

investigation but nothing about his relationship with Larry

was found except that he had been helping to treat the illness that Larry’s mother is suffering from. If there’s no other

relationship between them, then we can just send our family’s protectors to deal with him!”

Rufus was elated to hear that and could not help but ask his father, “For real, Dad?”

Manuel smiled evilly as he said, “You wanted Diane, didn’t you? I’ll be frank, though. I don’t think Diane will fall in love with you when you’re such an obese kid, but I can have someone kidnap and imprison her. When that’s done, you’ll be able to enjoy yourself to your heart’s content, and once you’ve had enough, we’ll just kill her. How does that sound?”

“I can’t bear to see her killed. She’s so beautiful, and I know I won’t get enough of her!” Rufus was a little reluctant when he heard that Diane was going to be killed. He never expected his father to be more ruthless than himself, and it was clear that

he had always been underestimating his old man.

Manuel added, “For what little prospects that you have, you’re still the scion of a second-tier family. I don’t think it’d be that

difficult for you to get a beautiful woman. Diane may be pretty, but the chances of her marrying you are practically zero. Even if she doesn’t have any choice left, she’d choose Edward before even

considering you. Look at yourself, son! You get fatter and fatter with each meal, and you’re short too! Why in the world would she choose you?” However, he soon remarked, “Besides, women are unpredictable creatures, and

she might just submit to you slowly once you kidnap her. It’s hard to tell, but there are times when beasts need to be tamed too!”

“You make a lot of sense, Dad,” Rufus said. “If this is the case, then let two protectors assist me sometime in the next few days. I’ve decided to give it my all to get Diane!” Rufus clenched his fist and there was a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes.

“Let’s head in. The ceremony is starting soon!” Manuel smiled faintly, and he was mainly angry that his son was beaten by some hothead who had no money, no influence, and came out of prison just recently. It was outrageous! The Chavezes were a second-tier family, and except for a few first-tier families and Brookbourn Mansion, there were few people whom they genuinely could not afford to offend.
