Stanley was speechless for a moment. “What are you trying to imply, Severin? Why did you look at me


    at sigh?”


    “I can see that your health is getting worse. Your face is a little pale, and you’re physically weak too. Try


    to cut down on the time you spend at hotels and with women, or else your body will give way soon!”


    Having given that advice, Severin made a point to add, “By the way, you’re aware that I have medical


    skills, right? Would you like me to prescribe some herbal supplements for you?”


    “Hell no! I know my body well, and it’s not weak!” Stanley gritted his teeth angrily and shot back, but in


    truth, he was a little worried because Severin’s observations had been spot – on. He recently realized


    that he could notst as long in bed. anymore, only a few minutes at most, and felt ashamed when


    Severin pointed that out.


    Although the rest of the Shanahans did not make any


    Judging from how Stanley reacted, Severin’sments had to


    have hit the nail on the head!


    The olddy sensed Stanley’s embarrassment and


    immediately changed the subject. “By the way, Severin, why aren’t your parents here yet? They


    shouldn’t bete for such a


    momentous asion!”


    Severin then said embarrassingly, “They’ve never attended such a huge event before, and they


    decided not toe because they’re afraid of identallymitting a faux pas. They’ll still attend the


    celebrations at the hotelter in the evening though!”


    The olddy nodded in approval and felt that Maurice and Judith were very understanding individuals.


    However, Stanleyughed from behind. “Hehe, it’s only right for them to do so. They’re poor, after all,


    and those who are here today are all rich. Our family went through a lot just toe here, and it’d be


    such an embarrassment to us if they came and made fools out of themselves!”


    “What nonsense are you going on about, Stanley?” Catherineshed out. “They’re being considerate


    toward us, and here you are badmouthing them!” The olddy then turned around and red at


    Stanley while saying, “Are you still interested to attend the event? If you’re not, then you’re free to


    leave!”


    “But, Grandma! I’m telling the truth!” Stanley did not know how else to respond. He did not expect that


    the olddy would yell at him in defense of Severin’s parents, but he nheless spoke softer when he


    protested.


    “Ah, Severin’s here too!” Edward came over with a few of his bodyguards.


    “It’s been a while!” Severin chuckled and spoke in a calm tone.

    “Fancy seeing you here, Edward!” Catherine smiled


    awkwardly. Though she knew that Edward would be unhappy


    that Diane chose Severin over him, it was not like there was anything she could do about it.


    Severin had proved to be a reliable person, and Diane liked Severin a lot too. That, coupled with the


    fact that Diane’s daughter was also Severin’s biological daughter, meant that there was nothing she


    could do about Diane’s choice.


    Furthermore, the Shanahans had benefited from Severin too.


    Edward did not even bother to look at the olddy and turned to Severin instead. “It’s a miracle that a


    person like you is even allowed to attend such an event!”


    Severin sneered. “Miracle? Pfft, you ain’t seen anything yet! There’s more where that came from!”
