Life After Prison

“Yeah, Dad! He’s a talented guy! Leave this to me. I’ll find a way to make him the head of our bodyguards or something like that. We can offer him a high salary!” Sheila said with an innocent grin. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Zachariah responded with a chuckle. “Hehe, you have a crush on him, don’t you?”

Sheila’s cheeks turned red right away, but she still said coyly, “Nonsense, Dad! I just feel like making friends with him after he saved me. I think he’s a really interesting person too, since he refused to accept my money after I saved him!”

After saying that, Sheila frowned, turned around, and put her hands behind her back before saying

confidently, “More importantly, he doesn’t ogle me at all even though I’m a beautiful woman! It’s the first

I’ve ever met a man like that!”

Zachariah was well aware that the precursor to falling in love with someone was showing an interest in

them.

He frowned, looked earnestly at Sheila, and said, “I’ll admit that he looks like a very decent guy, but if you don’t have a crush on him now, then I hope it stays that way and you never develop any feelings for him!”

When Sheila heard that, she immediately turned around and looked at Zachariah to ask, “Why, Dad? Why can’t I like him if he’s that a decent person in your eyes?”

“Because he’s already much older than you, and you’re not cut from the same cloth either. Secondly, Severin is the Shanahans’ son-in-law, meaning he already has a wife. You, on the other hand, are my

daughter, and I’ll only accept it if you find a better man!”

Zachariah explained.

After hearing that, Sheila said unhappily, “Maybe he’s better than you give him credit for, Dad?”

Zachariah smiled wryly. “All he has going for him is some medical skills and a bit of fighting ability. Those two factors alone are not enough to reach the standard of being my daughter’s partner. He must also be knowledgeable in many things, preferably those who are talented in business such as the heirs of a first- tier family. Only those men are worthy of you! In addition, I don’t want my daughter to become a second wife!” Having said that, Zachariah paused before continuing, “It be such an embarrassment to me

otherwise.”

Sheila felt upset all of a sudden. “Why do we even need so much money? If we spend what we have prudently, it’ll probably last us ten generations! Are you saying that I can’t find be with someone I like even when our family has nothing to worry about?”

Zachariah’s face became even gloomier. “You just said that you don’t like him, but your reaction reveals but I otherwise! I have no issues if you made friends with him and bring him into our family to help us out, will put my foot down when it comes to letting you marry him.”

Sheila rolled her eyes and said, “I didn’t say I like him. I’m just pissed off when I see your condescending attitude. Do you expect me to marry a rich kid from an upper-class family just because they come from a good background, is business-savvy and knows how to make money, and is someone you deem worthy of inheriting your assets? Well, that may be what you think, but I don’t share the same views as you at all. To me, what’s important is how I feel for that person. If I like him, then nothing can change my mind, not even if he’s a poor guy!”

“That is unacceptable! You’re my daughter! How could you fall for a poor person?” Zachariah was completely speechless. After thinking for a moment, he said again, “There are only two other first-tier families in Brookbourn aside from us, but none of their sons are good candidates because they lack

yoou young men from families at Riverson, and

we have some assets there too. If I happen to chance upon some suitable candidates there in the future, you may consider getting to know them before marrying them!”

“I don’t want to marry someone who’s in another city!” Sheila was even angrier to hear her father’s proposal because he had always doted on her in the past. Though he had three wives, she was his only child.
