Lucy took a step forward, red fiercely at Severin, and said, “We couldn’t get married because you
went to prison, Severin. Am I to me for that? Why should I return the money?” She folded her arms
and then said proudly, “Living in poverty must’ve driven you crazy. You’re asking me for money
because you don’t have any aftering out of prison, right? I wasted three years of my youth during
our three-year rtionship, and that forty thousand is just about enough topensate me for the time
lost. A little over ten thousand a year shouldn’t be much, right?”
“Tch!” Severin never expected her to say that so righteously. Enraged, he red at Lucy and said, “So
is your youth all that matters? What about mine?” Severin asked while walking slowly toward Lucy. “I
bought you whatever you wanted during those three years. Have I not been good enough to you? I’m
on your beck and call. I listen to whatever you say, and I’ve treated you so well. And what about you?
What have you done for me? I even went to prison for you. Doesn’t my youth matter?”
Severin’s anger had reached its peak and he stopped suddenly to p a chair next to him.
In an instant, the chair shattered into countless pieces and everything was scattered all over the floor!
The onlookers were all startled and a ruckus immediately ensued.
Lucy was so scared that her body was starting to tremble. Her family had only dared to harass
Severin’s parents because Severin was in prison, in the event that he was released, they all assumed
that Severin would not dare to cause them any trouble.
They were obviously not going to return the money that they had gotten.
Lucy gritted her teeth before looking up and saying to Severin, “You went gambling and lost a lot of
money, so you sold me to Easton for about seven thousand bucks. What do you have to say about
that, you scum? Am I only worth that bit of money to you?”
Severin smiled bitterly as he looked at Lucy and said, “Didn’t I exin to you that I was set up? You
then forgave me and said that you’d wait for me! Everything that happened was set up by Easton! I
have nothing against you if you didn’t want to wait for me, and I can ept it if you broke off the
engagement. What I can’t ept is why you joined hands with that son-of-a-b*tch to harass my
parents? I don’t care what happens to me, but I won’t allow anyone to bully my parents!”
Easton was not pleased to hear that. After all, he had to maintain a decent image in front of many
wealthy businessmen, so it would not be good if that sort of information was spread around by other
people. He immediately pointed at Severin and said, “You can’t f*cking make usations without any
evidence, Severin. Who gave you the right to nder me?”
“Don’t point your finger at me.” Severin red at Easton.
Easton grinned coldly and continued to point at Severin. “Oh, but I am. What are you gonna do about
it? Bite me?”
The next second, Severin strode forward, grabbed Easton’s index finger, and gently twisted it before
pulling it sharply!
“ARRRGHHHHH!” Easton yelled in pain as Severin casually dropped Easton’s finger, which he had
torn off.
“EASTON!” When Lucy saw that, she squatted down right away and asked Easton, “How are you? Are
you alright?”
“Do you think I’m alright when my finger was pulled off?! GRAAH!” Easton gritted his teeth in pain as
the veins on his forehead were bulging out. He turned his head to Trevor, who was standing not too far
away, and said, “I want him dead, Dad! Make sure he doesn’t make it out this hotel alive!”
“I’ll kill you, kid.” Trevor pointed at Severin and yelled. His eyes opened wide in anger, and they were
horrifyingly bloodshot.
He did not expect Severin to be that bold, but since his bodyguards would be arriving anytime soon, he
would make sure to end Severin’s life no matter what.
Severin could not care less about Trevor. He looked at Lucy and said, “You and I didn’t get married,
which means you need to return the money I gave your family as a dowry. Then there’s the matrimonial
home that you sold to Easton for a hundred and fifty thousand even though I bought for three hundred
thousand. My parents’ hard-earned money, which they’ve been working so hard to save up for all their
life, were all spent on that home. I want you to make good on the original price and pay back the
hundred and fifty thousand!”
Quinn and Timothy werepletely in the dark over all that information, and they could not help but
lower their heads slightly when they heard it!
“Are you seriously demanding money after injuring Easton? You’re crazy! You won’t even live long
enough to spend the money if I give it to you! Why don’t you just go ahead and rob a bank!” Helga
could never have been willing to return the money that she had gotten. The Orwells had made a small
fortune over the years through their connection with Loughs, and they had since managed to buy a car,
a house, build a considerable amount of savings, and even opened a smallpany. Despite all those
riches, a sum that was just shy of 200,000 was no small amount!
“Hehe!” Severin sneered, “I’ll be honest, that sum of money is insignificant to me, and I couldn’t even
care less if the amount was multiplied by several million. But it’s my parents’ hard-earned money. You
don’t have to return it if you don’t want to, but in ce of that, I want a finger each from you, your
husband, and your daughter…”
“You…” Helga’s face turned ashen, for she did not expect him to make such a brazen statement.
“He’s crazy! He’s lost his mind because of money!” Lucy stood up, red at Severin, and shouted.
“I’ll count down from ten, and I expect an answer from you before then!” Severin could not be bothered
to entertain their nonsense and said directly, “Ten…”
Landon was afraid to look directly at Severin, but was still able to muster up the courage to threaten
him after remember the Loughs’ influence. “Think this through, Severin. You’ll only offend the Loughs!
Aren’t you afraid you’ll be killed?”
“Nine. Eight.” Severin took one step forward with every number he uttered, thereby reducing the
distance between himself and the Orwells.
…
“Five. Four. Three.”
At this moment, Severin was only one meter away from Helga and Landon.
“F-f-fine! I’ll return the money to you! Isn’t it less than two hundred thousand, right?! It’s not like I don’t
have that kind of money.” Cold sweat dripped down Helga’s forehead. She was the one whose
defenses crumbled first when she saw Severin get closer and closer. Severin was just a reckless
person in her eyes, and it would be such a huge loss if everyone in their family had their fingers ripped
off before the Loughs’ bodyguards could arrive.
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard and nearly a hundred men in suits had
rushed to the scene. All of them were holding machetes in their hands.
They all immediately surrounded the entrance to the hall as soon as they rushed to the second floor.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
There was a baldie among them who looked particrly ruthless, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Sir,
who was it that caused trouble at Mister Easton’s wedding? Point him out to me!”
Everyone who was there stepped back in fright, leaving Severin as the only person standing in the
center. However, Severin appeared very calm and nonchnt, for he was standing with his back
against the other party.
The audience fell into a silence!
Trevor, as the head of the Loughs, took a step forward and pointed at Severin. He thenmanded
without hesitation, “Hack him to death!”
Four men exchanged nces at each other and raised their machetes to sh Severin’s back!
“How dare youy a hand on my man!” A woman’s yell was heard at that exact moment.
