Life After Prison

Chapter 323

Severin could not help but smile bitterly as he said, “You’re as smart as I expected you to be, honey! Nothing escapes your attention!”

Diane smiled and said, “My mom is a simple-minded person, so she won’t think too deeply about what happened. Grandma, on the other hand, probably knows that things aren’t as simple as they seem, although it’s not that important anyway. Grandma might know that you’ve been to this bar, but she won’t expose you because of your good relationship with Draco Hall. That’s more important to her than anything else!”

Severin nodded. “Well, the truth is, Stanley used to target you and your parents very often when you were kicked out of the Shanahans, right? He even put pressure on other people not to hire you, forcing you to take up a job as a delivery person! Since I had the opportunity to give him a hard time today, I jumped at the chance to do just that!”

After a pause, Severin continued, “My plan was to offer to treat him to a drink, and then leave halfway so he’d have to foot the bill. I never thought that things would escalate like this! It was only later that I found out he brought some more people to take advantage of the free drinks, and he ordered insane amounts of wine too! As if that’s not bad enough, he had plans. to get me drunk and set me up so he can blackmail me!” Severin explained the situation and finally said, “What he didn’t expect was that this bar belongs to Draco Hall! I bet he didn’t expect me to sneak out either.”

After Diane heard that, she could not help but smile, “He’s such a greedy person for wanting to blackmail you. I’m glad that you’re not a pervert either, otherwise you would’ve fallen for his trap!”

Upon seeing Diane’s beautiful smile, Severin could not resist stepping forward to put his arms around her waist. “Why would I be attracted to those indecent women when I have such a beautiful wife?”

“Why are you hugging me? It’ll be bad if other people see us like this!” Diane said.

She did not blame Severin after finding out the truth, because she knew that Stanley was the one to blame and everything that happened that day could be taken as a lesson for him. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

If Stanley had only spent several thousand dollars, then he would have been able to

pay the bill even if Severin had upped and left. After all, he would not have been prevented from leaving if that were the case, and his life would not be as miserable as it was then if he had controlled himself from giving in to his desire to hurt Severin.

That aside, Severin’s actions could be construed as helping her to vent the resentment she had all those years ago.

“You’re my wife. Is it wrong for me to hug you? If you say that it’s bad for other people to see us like this, does it mean that I can hug you at home when no one’s around to see us?” Severin asked with a smile.

“Ugh, can’t you be serious? Come on, let’s go home! I came in a rush and took a taxi here, but luckily you can drive me home in your car!” Diane broke free from Severin’s arms and shot him a coquettish look.

“Sure thing, my beautiful wife! After you!” Severin walked over with a smile, opened the door

of the front passenger seat for Diane, and gestured in a gentlemanly manner for her to get in. Severin’s chivalry made Diane feel all sweet, and they soon arrived at Dragon Lake Vista.

“By the way, what’s with the reminder that Hall Master Larry gave to you earlier?” A sudden thought came to mind and she asked curiously.

Severin then answered, “Nothing big, really. He just said that there’s some important figure whom he wants to introduce to me tomorrow, so he asked me to go over to the person’s place. for a meal. I feel bad if I turned them down.”

In fact, it was the people from Brookbourn Mansion who suddenly decided to invite Larry and Draco Hall’s people to dinner, and Draco Hall felt a little wary because their strength had already sent waves throughout Brookbourn Mansion. It was out of a fear that Brookbourn Mansion might have some ulterior motives for inviting them that they decided to bring

Severin the supreme leader of Dracodeus Temple-along.

On the other hand, Severin had promised Sheila to treat her father, so after giving it some thought, he decided to agree to their request to go with them. He believed that he could at least be able to leverage his good relationship with both parties to mediate things without revealing his true identity.

It went without saying that it would not be ideal for him to reveal all the aforementioned details to Diane, hence his simple excuse earlier.

After Diane heard that, she nodded her head and said, “Sounds good. Draco Hall isn’t what it used to be, and even first-tier families will be afraid of them. It’d be nice if you could hang out more with Larry and meet more people. Who knows, they might be willing to owe us a favor if we need their help in the future!”
