Life After Prison

“Is that so? Who is this girl anyway?” Edward did not quite believe Jada’s words, so he smiled faintly and looked over. As soon as he saw who was in the picture, he gasped and said, “My God! Isn’t that Sheila Ballard? Why is Sheila walking with Severin?”

The corners of Easton’s mouth twitched a few times. “He…he’s a boytoy? I didn’t think he’d actually get together with Sheila!”

Lucy saw the surprised looks of both men and could not help but wonder out loud, “Who is Sheila? Is she rich? Richer than Edward?”

Easton immediately replied, “She’s not just rich. Her family is richer than the Zelankos and the Longhorns. She’s the only daughter of Brookbourn Mansion leader, and those who marry her would almost certainly shoot to the top!”

Edward nodded too. “The biggest force in Brookbourn is Brookbourn Mansion. You might think that they’re sitting in their ivory tower in complete detachment from the world, but some of the upper-class families are required to pay them a certain sum of money every year. Moreover, as far as Brookbourn Mansion is concerned, there are many strong individuals there who could be regarded as true sovereigns!”

“Why would that damn Severin be taking a stroll with someone like that?” Lucy gritted her teeth angrily after knowing what was the situation.

The reason she chose Easton and abandoned Severin was because she wanted to live a rich life, and she believed that Severin was too poor to give her that. The only way she would feel vindicated with her decision was if Severin was poor and had a worse life than hers. Therefore, it was only natural thatOwned by NôvelDrama.Org.

she could not stand to see Severin enjoying a better life than her, especially when Severin was richer and better than Easton.

Easton then said, “Hmph, I think it’s in his nature to live off other people. Sheila must have gone mad to choose Severin when there are plenty of rich young men from upper-class families that she could choose from.”

Lucy thought about what they said but still found it all hard to believe. “Are we overthinking? Aren’t they just taking a walk?”

Easton sneered and said, “Just a walk? You’re too naive. Sheila’s known to be a very proud person, and many of the rich and handsome upper-class young men were rejected by her when they asked her out for a meal. Why do you think such a pompous young lady like her would go for a walk with Severin? It’s a sign that she has a good impression of Severin!”

“That’s right.” Edward nodded in agreement. “Sheila is a rather arrogant person with high standards. Didn’t you notice that the two of them aren’t accompanied by bodyguards? They’re having a walk and chatting with each other. If their relationship has already progressed that far, you can bet that Sheila now regards Severin as a friend. There’s even a possibility that it would progress into a romantic relationship!” As he said that, he clenched his fists and had a resentful look as he said, “Severin must be killed as soon as possible. If this drags on and he marries Sheila, we won’t even get the chance to target him anymore, and he’ll be the one who will make our life miserable by targeting us.”

Lucy nodded. “Okay, then let’s hire a six stars assassin. What’s the highest rank among the assassins?”

“For this organization,” Edward began. “The assassins are divided into one star to nine stars. The strongest one is nine stars. It’s rumored the nine-stars have already surpassed the attainment level of a

grandmaster, but it goes without saying that they cost a lot too. I think hiring a six-stars is good enough.”

Easton sighed. “Black Rose, the one we hired earlier, is very strong, and she looks hot too. It should’ve been easy for her to seduce Severin, but in the end, her ruse was seen through and we wasted all our money!”
