Felicia’s expression became exceedingly ugly. Those projects did not matter to her at all, and all she


    wanted was the dowry.


    The olddy looked at Felicia. “My dear Felicia, I’m not asking you to reject Edward immediately now,


    am I? You can drag it out a little longer while we figure out the rtionship between Severin and Henry.


    If their rtionship turns out to be very good and Severin can help us secure the Liberty City project,


    wouldn’t you ept him as your son-inw? If their rtionship isn’t all that impressive, then you can


    always try to persuade Diane to marry Edward. If she still won’t listen, then there’s nothing we can do


    about it.”


    “I understand now.”


    Felicia nodded and was roughly able to grasp the olddy’s intentions.


    Megan thought for a while and then said, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Diane was only stubborn back. then


    because of her reluctance to part with her baby, not Severin. Now that we’re willing to wee her


    back home again, I’m sure she’lle back. She is a very filial daughter, after all, and she’ll leave


    Severin if it means giving Selene a better life in the future!”


    -The olddy chuckled. “That’s for a future time. If we want to persuade the two of them to break things


    off with each other, we’ll only do soter. My priority right now is to find out if Severin can help us


    secure the project! If he can’t, you can always fall back on persuading her into getting together with


    Edward!”


    Megan smiled awkwardly and thought to herself, “This olddy sure is a sly old fox. She keeps all those


    options open so she’ll get the best out of whatever happens.’


    After Severin and Diane finished their meal, they led Selene down to the hotel lobby.


    “Mister Severin, please feel free to seek me out if you ever need my help in the future!” Henry said to


    Severin with a smile.

    “Mister Henry, you’re more than wee to give me a ring if you require any help next time!” Severin


    reciprocated.


    His response prompted Diane to roll her eyes at him. “What else would Mister Henry need your help


    for? It’d be better for you not to trouble him!”


    “Haha, that might not necessarily be the case, you know. Severin here is no ordinary individual, haha!”


    Henryughed, got in the car with Charmaine, and left.


    Severin led ne to the front desk and said to the beautiful receptionist, “Did Lucy and the others bring


    the money?”


    The receptionist immediately lifted a big red-and-white woven bag, which she gave to Severin.”


    It’s all here!”


    Severin smiled. “Wonderful. Thank you very much!”


    “You’re more than wee. That incident with the Orwells is all everyone’s talking about now.


    You were amazing back there! Vain women like Lucy ought to be taught a lesson! Even bystanders like


    us were rooting for you when they refused to return that huge dowry!” The receptionist eximed with a


    big smile.


    “Really? I didn’t think it’d spread so quickly. I wanted to keep a low profile!” Severin smiled, threw the


    woven bag directly on his shoulder. “Honey, my clothes don’t fit too well anymore, so I’m thinking of


    getting some new ones. I haven’t bought any for you and Selene yet either, so why don’t we go


    shopping and buy some clothes?”
