Stanley had to put in a mountainous effort to snatch the position of general manager from Diane a few
years ago, and even then, his efforts were inrge part bolstered by the incident involving Diane.
Business was not very smooth during his first few years after taking over the Shanahan family
company, but it was still making money due to the perfect system that Diane implemented. In the past
two years, however, his ipetence was gradually emerging. That, as well as inferior hiring
practices, led thepany to suffer losses in the past two years.
Should Diane return and Catherine ask her to help out at thepany, the problems guing the
company would certainlye to light. By then, it might not be possible to hide certain things. from the
olddy, and Stanley would stand to lose his position. Therefore, Diane’s arrogance was exactly what
he wanted.
When William heard Stanley say that about his daughter, his face soured and he remarked, “My
daughter doesn’t have it so rough now, Stanley. The vi she lives in right now is much more. upscale
than ours. The townhouse vis we own cost about seven to eight hundred thousand, while she’s
staying in a huge detached vi!”
“How is that even possible? You’re just bragging, aren’t you, Uncle William?” Stanley asked with a
smirk.
“Are you telling the truth, William? Does Severin have the money to buy a vi?” Catherine frowned
and asked when she heard that.
In response, William said, “Severin didn’t buy it. Mister Henry gave him that vi, and it’s located at the
Dragon Lake Vista!”
“D–D–Dragon…Lake…Vista?” Catherine heard that it was the Dragon Lake Vista vi area and
gasped at once. “The vis there aren’t cheap, and yet Mister Henry is more than willing to gift that sort
of ce to Severin. This means there’s more to their rtionship than it appears at first sight!”

“That can’t be. One unit there costs upward of ten million! What sort of rtionship does Severin have
with Mister Henry?” Stanley was just as shocked.
Everyone had been thinking of letting Diane marry Edward so that it could be possible to leverage their
rtionship with the Horsfields. Any cooperation would then be very beneficial to the Shanahans in the
future. However, it would be even better if they could rely on Severin to win over the Longhorn family.
After all, the Horsfields were only a second–tier family, while the Longhorns were a first–tier family.
Felicia then smiled. “Severin isn’t that ipetent. He has superb medical abilities, and he saved
Mister Henry’s life when thetter’s illness acted up that day. Mister Henry considered it a life- saving
act. Now, we all know who Mister Henry is, don’t we? His life is precious, and to show his gratitude, he
treated Severin to a meal and gave Severin that vi as a present!”
“I see. It’s a token of appreciation for saving his life!” After hearing that, Catherine nodded and
pondered over it for a moment before saying again, “Although Mister Henry has given the vi to
Severin as a thank–you gift for saving his life and doesn’t owe Severin anything anymore, there’s still a
chance for us to get in on the project forward if Severin puts in a good word for us!”
That project was one that the Shanahans have coveted for a long time but were as yet unable to make
a breakthrough. The reason was that the Shanahans‘pany had not made good progress in the
past two years, coupled with theck of any connection with the Longhorns. It was something that
became a perpetual headache for the olddy.
Once the right to get a quota of the project was obtained, they would stand to gain a long–term benefit.
Everyone was optimistic about that project because it might one day be in line with international
standards in the future.
When Stanley saw his grandmother’s hesitation, he panicked and immediately said, “Grandma, are you
going to apologize to her even though she has that sort of attitude? You’re our elder, and she’s much
younger than you. More importantly, she was the one whomitted a mistake back then. How could
you even think of lowering yourself to apologize to her?”
