Life After Prison

Stanley’s eyes widened in anger when he heard that. “What do you mean his character is different from mine? What are you trying to imply about my character? He’s the one who invited me here today, and there were two other women with me here earlier too. They’ve already left, but if you don’t believe me, I can call them and ask them to come back and testify

for me.”

William could not be bothered to argue with Stanley and decided to save his breath.

Finally, Catherine said, “Forget it! Whatever happened doesn’t matter anymore. The priority now is to avoid embarrassing yourself. Let’s just pay up and leave.” She then turned to Robert and asked, “We are a third-tier family after all, so we can still afford to pay the bill. Could let me know how much is the total?”

Robert immediately smiled at her. “Hehe, always the bigger person, ma’am. Our general manager offered a nine-thousand-dollar discount, so the total will now be sixty-six thousand.

“Sixty-six thousand?!” Catherine’s face soured when she was informed of the total. The corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and she even doubted whether or not she heard it correctly, since she had expected it to be a few thousand or ten or so thousand at most!

George was a little startled too, and he immediately asked, “Why did you spend so much?”

Robert handed over the tablet and said, “See for yourselves. Mister Stanley and his companions ordered the most expensive wines, and as you might be able to tell from those empty bottles, they enjoyed themselves quite a bit. Mister Stanley even requested four of our girls to keep them company. I

remember there being a lot of people here, and among them were two men, both of which are friends of Mister Stanley, and three women whom he spent at lot of time with in the past!”

“Uhh…” Stanley immediately lowered his head. He had an extremely ugly expression and secretly cursed at Robert for not reading the room.

‘Did he really have to bring up stuff that happened in the past?’ Stanley thought. His grandmother would have turned a blind eye to his past transgressions, and Robert’s revelation. ended up being a slap in the face for Stanley.

“Has life been too good for you, Stanley?” Catherine glared at Stanley, and it was obvious that she was a little angry.

“Whatever I did in the past was all for the sake of discussing business deals, Grandina, and I had to entertain some of our clients! Besides, I didn’t spend as much on previous occasions!” Stanley lowered his head and explained.

“Is something wrong, Grandma?” Diane asked as soon as she entered the room, having rushed there as soon as she received a phone call from Catherine in the middle of the night. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

When Stanley saw that Diane had arrived, he immediately snorted coldly. “Oh, you don’t even know the half of it! Everything that happened is Severin’s fault. He said he was going to treat me and my friends to dinner, but he slipped out halfway through the meal and went to the hotel with another woman! He just disappeared without saying a word, and he didn’t even bother to foot the bill. Isn’t it obvious that he’s trying to punish me? The total cost is sixty-six

thousand, so I’ll leave it to you to figure out how to settle it!”

Diane had the feeling that something was wrong while she was on the way there, and her expression turned ugly as soon as she heard what Stanley said. More importantly, it was clear that Severin had not come home, because she did not see him in bed when she passed by Severin’s room, and his car was nowhere to be seen either.

However, she still did not quite believe Stanley’s words, because she believed that Severin would neither waste sixty-six thousand dollars on a meal, nor would he leave without paying when he had already agreed to treat them.

She turned around and asked Felicia, “Is that what happened, Mom?”

Before Felicia could speak, Cherise said animatedly, “What do you expect? He just got out of prison, and it’s second nature for him to do something like that. Old habits die hard, and ex- convicts are all terrible people. It’s because of him that my son wasn’t allowed to leave this place!”

Diane was enraged when she heard that, and she immediately turned around to look at Cherise. “Watch your words! Don’t you dare utter such slanderous remarks when none of us know what the real deal is!”
