Life After Prison

The emcee had a smile on her face as she announced the last

two spots.

“What?! The last two were given to the Shanahans? They got two?!”

Sure enough, the audience began to whisper among themselves.

“What’s going on here? Wasn’t the Shanahan Corporation on a downward slope when Stanley was the general manager? Don’t you feel strange that Diane has secured two of the prearranged quotas after assuming the position of general manager for only a few days?” Someone then insinuated.

Victor and Jada, who was in the vicinity, happened to hear that

remark.

Victor was stunned for a moment, and she felt that it was a good time to turn public opinion against Diane. With the thought of his humiliation the other day still fresh in his mind, he deliberately raised his voice. “You never know if she’s a good rider, if you know what I mean. Good-looking women are usually even more experienced! I think Diane must’ve used some underhanded ways to get what she wants. Maybe she has some sort of secret relationship with the head of the Longhorns!”

When he said that, some people immediately glanced at the

Shanahans with odd expressions. After all, no one took the Shanahans seriously before then, especially since their performance had worsened with Stanley as the general manager. It was reasonable to expect that the Shanahans would not be able to get even one such quota, and yet they managed to secure two quotas, and at good locations too.

As a result, Victor’s remark led some of the more green-eyed people to wonder if Diane was having an affair with Gideon, the head of the Longhorns. Victor’s remark could be heard by many people because he spoke in a clear and loud voice. Diane’s lips twitched a few times as she took the stage, and she felt a little embarrassed as she stood there and held the NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

two contracts up for the camera. Alas, she could only pretend as if she did not hear it as she walked off the stage with the contract once the photo-taking session was over. Catherine had a gloomy expression too, but she did not dare to stand up and say anything because more and more people were talking

about it.

On the other hand, Stanley was incredibly happy with how things developed. The Longhorn family had previously given Severin a lot of benefits, and no sane person would believe that he would continue to be given more and more benefits. Diane had been lucky to be reappointed as the general manager, but there would probably be no end to the rumors. surrounding her after she had been thrown into the spotlight.

When Severin heard that remark, he stood up with a cold

expression and walked straight toward Victor.

“What’s your problem, kid?” Victor stood up, knowing that he had to maintain his confidence in front of all the people there because he was the head of the Stones. He was confident that Severin would not dare to do anything to him right then and there.

Furthermore, as it was the grand launching of the Longhorn family’s Liberty City project, Severin would be showing tremendous disrespect if he were to cause a scene at the event.

Severin looked at the other party coldly and asked, “What did you just say? My wife is a pure soul, and I won’t just stand by without doing anything if you keep badmouthing her behind our backs!”

“Hehe, everyone heard what I said. You’re feeling guilty because it’s true, right? Punch me then if you have what it takes!” Victor chuckled smugly.

The next second, Severin’s fist landed smack dab in Victor’s face. “You deserve to be punched!”
