Life After Prison

“Hall Master Larry! Why are you and Master Blade here?” Catherine knew that the Draco Hall had already taken over the Cedar Gang, and that they had reached a level where they were stronger than first-tier families but just slightly weaker than Brookbourn Mansion. Thus, it was only natural for her to feel a little anxious when she saw Larry and Blade.

Larry said with a faint smile, “We have been drinking and chatting with Mister Severin in the next-door bar, and Mister Severin received a call from his wife asking him to come over. We were curious if something had happened at this late hour, so we decided to tag along!”

When Stanley heard that, he clenched his fists and said loudly, “That’s not possible! Didn’t Severin leave here with a woman? He should be in a hotel room with her right now! Why is he drinking with the two of you? Wait! You just bumped into him not too long ago, right? How long have you been drinking?”

Larry’s expression turned sullen in an instant and he looked at Stanley with disdain. “Are your suggesting that I’m lying to you, Mister Stanley? Blade and I have been drinking and chatting. with Mister Severin since a little over eight this evening!”

“That’s absurd! He was here with us, and the four girls who were with us can testify to that!” Stanley protested. He could tell that Larry was covering for Severin.

“Me? Here? What for?” Severin had an innocent face.

Felicia was ecstatic. “See, I knew that Stanley was trying to pin the blame on my son-in-law! He spent all the money, refused to pay the bill, and decides it’d be a good idea to frame my son -in-law to let him pay the bill! How disgusting!”

Having chastised Stanley, Felicia said to Severin, “Stanley told us that he went with you to treat the Zelankos’ old madam, and you received a hefty reward from them when you successfully cured her leg issue. He said that you would treat him to a drink here, and then…” Felicia narrated everything that Stanley had told them.

After Severin finished listening to everything, he said with a wry smile, “That sounds so far- fetched, Mom. Why would I be willing to spend so much money just to treat him to a drink? I told him that I’d treat him to a drink after getting paid, but I didn’t say that it’ll be tonight. I never said that we would be going to this sort of place to spend so much money, either. Besides, it’s an outright lie to say that I got a room with another woman. I’ve been with Larry and Blade the entire time!”

As soon as Megan heard that, she stepped forward and said to Stanley, “I didn’t think you’d be this despicable, Stanley! I think you were the one who spent lavish amounts on bringing your friends here to drink with some women, and now that you realized you overspent, you decided to put the blame on my brother-in-law to avoid forking out the huge sum yourself! I can’t believe I almost believed your nonsense! You truly are the most shameless person ever!”

“I… But I’m telling the truth! You can ask my two friends if you don’t believe me!” Stanley was speechless and did not know what else to say at that moment.

Megan, however, snickered unexpectedly. “Hehe, aren’t those pals of yours in on it? How would we know whether or not you guys had this planned from the beginning? Why should we

trust them?” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I…” Stanley felt choked.

Then, Robert the manager, offered a suggestion. “I might not know what’s the situation here, but I can always ask the waitresses on duty and the four girls to come and explain what happened!”

After hearing what Robert said, Stanley felt that help had come at last. He was overjoyed and immediately said to Robert, “Oh, Robert! Thank you so, so much! Whatever it is, the truth will come to light eventually, and we’ll soon find out what really happened.”

Seeing that Robert had already walked out, Stanley looked smugly at Severin. “Good try, Severin! I get it now! You wanted to try and make life difficult for me, right? Well, shame on you, because I’m not stupid! Let’s see what else do you have to say when the two waitresses and the four B-girls come in!”

Stanley, however, did not expect that Larry would have a cold expression. “So according to you, Blade and I are lying then? How dare you make such accusations toward us?”
