Stanley was incredibly angry, but he could only suck it all up when facing an intimidating Diane. After


    all, he knew that it would be of little benefit to him if he caused any trouble.


    “Yes, ma’am. You have the final say now that you’re the general manager!” In the end, Stanley could


    only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.


    “I’m d you’re aware that I’m the general manager! Remember to knock on the door the next time you


    wish toe in!” Diane remembered as she watched Stanley turn around and prepare to leave.


    Stanley walked to the door, turned around, and shot Diane a cold look. “Don’t be so smug, Diane. I


    trust that Grandma adores me more than you. Besides, theunch of the Liberty City project is in a few


    days’ time, and if Severin hasn’t secured anything for the Shanahans by then, do you still think. your


    position as the general manager will remain secure?”


    “I have nothing to worry about because I believe in my man!” Although Diane was not very confident


    that things would work out, she still said that with conviction in order to keep the momentum going at


    that time.


    Stanley walked out and mmed the office door shut to vent his anger.


    “You bought a nearlypleted unit, so it looks like the keys will be handed to you in about a month.


    Congrattions!” Severin said to Queenie while they were looking at some cars in a car


    showroom.

    Although Queenie still has about a-hundred-thousand dors left, she had decided to spend no more


    than thirty thousand dors on a car. As for the rest of the money, she nned to use it to renovate the


    house and start a small business along the way.


    “I never thought there’d be a day where I’ll own a car and a house! Still, I don’t feelpletely happy


    just yet, because I’m worried that Hugh might cause trouble again. I have no idea who his backer is,


    but I heard that they’re super scary.” Queenie was still very worried after buying her car.


    Severin said nonchntly, “Rx. I was the one who beat him up, not you! If you’re still scared, you’re


    wee to stay at our ce for a few more days. There’s plenty of rooms anyway, so you’ll definitely


    befortable there. Plus, I’m also on good terms with Henry and the Longhorns, and they’re a first-


    tier upper-ss family! There’s no need for you to worry so much, okay?”


    “You know the Longhorns?” Queenie knew that the Longhorns had a lot of assets and felt a little more


    relieved to hear that Severin knew Henry. “Okay, I won’t worry so much. Thanks again for buying me a


    car and a house. We only lent your family eight thousand dors, but you returned so much more than


    that to us! I don’t know how else to thank you. How about you let me treat you to lunch?” Queenie


    suggested as she looked at Severin in appreciation.


    Severin smiled. “It’s no big deal, Queenie. You have no idea how worried I was about my parents when


    I was in prison. I felt helpless because there was nothing that I could do to help them. Your family isn’t


    rich, and yet you’ve been helping my family when I wasn’t around. All this money I’ve given you is not


    even enough to repay the kindness you and your parents have shown!”


    After saying that, Severin became a little emotional. “Tch. I still remember Lucy telling me that she’d


    wait for me to be released from prison. I can’t believe I trusted her. I thought she’d take care of my


    parents, and I foolishly believed that they would at least get by until my release because her family was


    more well-off than us. It was only when I was released that I realized how miserable my parents have


    been during those past five years!”


    Severin clenched his fists tightly as he thought of how his parents had been subjugated to a life of


    worry and fear in all those years. He gritted his teeth angrily and said, “But it’s fine now. I won’t let


    Easton and Lucy off so easily for all the hurt they caused. I’m going to take my time to deal with them


    and let them understand the meaning of regret. Killing them right away is much too merciful a


    punishment for them!”


    Queenie could not help herself from getting goosebumps when she felt the suffocating


    murderous aura from Severin. She did not expect his body to emit such a terrifying aura, and it was


    something that could only be felt instead of seen.
