Ch. 1031..1040

Life After Prison Chapter 1031-Severin did not expect Chelsea to be so confident of her beauty, so he looked her up and down.

Chelsea started to panic when she saw him checking her out. She took two steps back fearfully. “Why… why are you looking at me like that?”

Severin smiled. “I was just trying to figure out why you’re so confident about your own looks when you’re not even half as beautiful as my two women.”

“Why you!” Chelsea nearly passed out from anger. She had always been very confident about her looks since many rich guys tried to woo her before. ‘He’s probably negging me to get my attention.”

She smiled suddenly. “As if I’ll ever believe you. In any case, you better not get any funny ideas about coming into my room tonight. If you do, I’ll make sure to off myself rather so that you won’t be able to have your way with me.”

“Oh, don’t you worry. I have no interest in you whatsoever,” said Severin before going upstairs.

Chelsea nearly passed out from anger again. “D*mmit!”

She followed him up while mentally cursing him all the while. Soon, Severin chose the room next to Chelsea’s.

“By the way, I won’t look into the matter since your dad already arranged for his men, who I’m sure are familiar with the place, to do that. You can come find me if you want to go out. But make sure you knock first and wait for me to tell you to come in before opening the door, okay?”

Chelsea crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at him. “Huh! Don’t tell me you’re scared that I’ll see something I shouldn’t have.”

“I study about alchemy in my free time so I’m worried you’ll break my focus if you barge in suddenly,” said Severin lightly.

“Really? You don’t strike me as a guy who knows alchemy.” Chelsea found it odd but then decided not to waste her brain cells thinking about it. ‘Even if he knows alchemy, he must be at the beginner level, like first-grade low-rank or first-grade medium-rank. In fact, I bet he’s just starting out and can’t even call himself an alchemist yet.”

There were many people in the world who wanted to become an alchemist but only very few succeeded. Not to mention, those who managed to proceed to the ranks of first-grade high-rank or second-grade alchemist could be counted on one hand. Thus, she dismissed Severin’s study of alchemy as nothing but flight of fancy.

“Fine, whatever. I have no plans to go out at the moment. By the way, you have to do the same. Knock on my door first before you come in,” said Chelsea.

After that, she went back into her room. She had an exhausting day. Not to mention, she was drenched in sweat after the fright she had at the airport. Hence, she wanted nothing more than to take a shower and a пар.

However, she was so used to staying alone that she forgot to lock her room door after closing it. She put her baggage to the side, sat on her bed, and called her best friend to have a long chat.

After she hung up, she riffled through her baggage to look for her sexy lingerie and took off the dress she was wearing before going to the bathroom with the sexy lingerie in her hand. Once there, she put her sexy lingerie to the side and turned on the shower.

Meanwhile, Severin was planning to take a nap before doing alchemy. Ten minutes had not even passed

when he heard Chelsea screaming.

“Ah-!”

Shocked, Severin immediately jumped down from his bed and rushed over to Chelsea’s room. “Miss Chelsea, are you okay?” he asked worriedly.

Life After Prison Chapter 1032-“Ah! There’s a cockroach inside the bathroom!”

At that moment, to Severin’s surprise, Chelsea was also running out of the bathroom in fright. That would not have been a problem if she was not naked.

“Ah-! What… what are you doing in…”

Chelsea was dumbfounded to see Severin standing there in her room but then she suddenly remembered he was staying in the room next to hers. She immediately looked down at herself and a blush quickly crept across her face.

The next second she ran over to the bed and pulled off the bed sheet to cover herself. “What… what are you looking at? You pervert! How… how the hell did you get in?”

Severin was speechless for a brief moment. He then smiled awkwardly as he tried to explain, “I thought some bad guys were hiding in your room when I heard you scream so I rushed in to save you.”

Chelsea’s entire face turned bright red.”Did… did you see anything just now?” she asked softly.

“Umm… a little but don’t worry. The light is so dark in here that I didn’t see anything clearly,” replied Severin awkwardly.

Chelsea nearly broke down when she heard that. She stomped on the floor and shouted, “You didn’t see anything clearly? Just what you were hoping to see clearly? Be clear in your answer, you b*stard! Did you or did you see anything just now?!”

“Fine, I saw everything…” Severin answered with a wry smile.

“Get lost!” Chelsea glared at Severin. “Why is it so hard for you to tell the truth?”

Severin looked at her speechlessly. “Why don’t you try asking me the question again?”

“Argh!” Chelsea nearly pulled her hair out of frustration. “Did you or did you not see anything?” she forced out the words through gritted teeth.

“No, I didn’t see anything!” Severin answered without hesitation.

Chelsea became even more worked up. “No matter if you’ve seen anything or not, I forbid you to say anything about this to anyone!” she said between gritted teeth.

Severin put up his hand. “Don’t worry, Miss Chelsea, I promise I won’t tell anyone how small your…” He looked at Chelsea’s chest.

Chelsea had had it with Severin. ‘This stupid man just doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut huh!” She glared at him. “Get lost!”

“Okay. I’m just glad there were no bad guys hiding in your room. And don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone what I saw just now,” said Severin with an embarrassed smile before turning to leave.

“Wait!” Chelsea stopped him before he had even taken a step.

Severin turned back around. “I thought you told me to get lost? Plus, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to stay here if you’re going to take your shower… or could it be you want me to watch you take a shower?”

“Haha, very funny. There’s a cockroach in the bathroom. Go kill and dispose it!”

Severin smiled wryly before walking to the bathroom. “How can you be scared of a cockroach when you’re bigger than it?”

“D*mn you. That’s ’cause I’m a girl,” Chelsea replied with a stomp of her feet.

Life After Prison Chapter 1033-It took no time at all for Severin to get rid of the cockroach. He then came out of the bathroom and said,” Miss Chelsea, I’ve already got rid of the cockroach. You can shower at peace now.”

Chelsea rolled her eyes at him. “Well, hurry up and get out of the room!”

After Severin exited the room, Chelsea quickly jogged over to lock the door. She sighed with relief before throwing the bed sheet she had wrapped around her to the bed.

“Ugh! This is so annoying. No man has ever seen me naked before. He should feel honored to be the first one.” After that, she touched her chest. “D*mmit! They’re not really that small, right? I can’t help but wonder how big his wife’s boobs really are.”

After Severin went back to his room, he could not stop thinking about what he saw just now. He started to get restless but then shook his head to clear it before climbing into bed to take a nap.

An hour later, he got up and took out his cauldron to refine some alchemical pills. Three hours later, he had in his possession twelve more high-rank alchemical pills. Through practice, the pills he refined recently boasted of an even more high quality than before.

A knock sounded on his door as soon as he put away his cauldron.

“Come in,” he said.

The door opened and Chelsea walked in. She was enraptured by the smell of the alchemical pills as soon as she walked into the room.

She took a deep breath and joy instantly filled her face. “Wow! The smell of the herbs is so soothing. Is the smell coming from the alchemical pill? Did you really manage to pull off making it?”

Severin smiled while a gold light flashed across his eyes. He could instantly tell Chelsea was only a level five profound master. With a flip of his hand, a first-grade high-rank pill immediately appeared in his hand. “Here, this is for you. I didn’t mean to barge into your room in the afternoon. Please take this pill as a show of me trying to make amends,” he said.

Chelsea was speechless. She was trying very hard to forget about the whole thing and yet here was Severin trying to bring up the matter again.

However, ecstasy immediately filled her eyes when she saw the pill. “Oh my god! This is a first-grade high- rank pill, right? You’re not kidding when you say you want to give this to me, right? Look, there are even lines on the pill so it must be of an elite-quality!”

Severin smiled. “So do you want it or not? I’m going to put it away if you don’t.”

“Of course I do! I’m not a fool. This pill is perfect for the level I’m at. Plus, you say this is compensation for what happened this afternoon right? I’ll just treat it as payment for giving you a good show.”

Chelsea excitedly took the alchemical pill from Severin’s hand before carefully putting it away for safe storage.

Severin could not help but feel amused at her reaction. After taking a good look at her, he realized she dolled up a little. “By the way, why did you come here at this hour?”

“It’s dinner time. Aren’t you hungry?” replied Chelsea. You saved my life today so I thought I’ll show you around and treat you to dinner. Plus, you’re in my home so it’s only right for me to play the role of a good hostess.”

Severin looked out the window and smiled awkwardly, “It is dark out. I was so busy refining pills that I

didn’t even realize that much time had passed. Well, don’t mind if I take you up on your offer.”

After that, the two of them went downstairs.

Life After Prison Chapter 1034-The bodyguards noticed Severin and Chelsea as soon as the two of them stepped out of the mansion. One of the captains walked up to them with several of his underlings.

The captain glanced at Severin before asking. “Miss Chelsea, are you going out? Let us go with you to ensure your safety.”

Chelsea waved her hand. “That won’t be necessary. I’ll be safe with Severin.”

The captain held a secret crush toward Chelsea and was usually the one who accompanied her everywhere. He was already a little peeved of Severin’s existence and he became more so when Chelsea chose Severin over him.

His face darkened and he looked suspiciously at Severin. “I’m not sure this punk can really protect you, Miss Chelsea. Look at how skinny and pale he is. I won’t be surprised if you have to end up protecting him!

Severin glanced at the captain. “Don’t worry. Mister Richard has agreed to let me act as a bodyguard to Miss Chelsea for these few days. In other words, I’ve been thoroughly vetted by him.”

The captain, who was a level nine profound master, scoffed and said arrogant, “Oh, really? Why don’t we nuke it out here so that I can see just how great you are?”

The Maddocks had just become a third-tier upper-class family not long ago so it was actually quite commendable for Kyron to have already reached the attainment of a level nine profound master.

“That won’t be necessary since your level is so low. I’ll be afraid of hurting you,” said Severin flippantly.

The captain hated Severin even more after that. He balled his hand into a fist and his spiritual energy immediately surged out.

“Kyron, what are you doing? Severin is our guest! I forbid you from laying a finger on him,” shouted Chelsea in a panic.

Kyron glared angrily at Severin before turning to Chelsea to say, “Miss Chelsea, I’m going to teach him a lesson for being so cocky. Besides, I’m worried about your safety. What can he do if you’re in danger?”

“Don’t worry, Miss Chelsea. He won’t be able to lay a finger on me,” said Severin.

“Why you cocky b*stard! Let’s just see how you take this!”

Kryon and Severin took a step forward at the same time but before Kyron could do anything, he found himself being enveloped in an invisible air pressure that came from Severin.

It was impossible for him to take a step forward under that condition. The air pressure became stronger and stronger until he was forced to fall down to his knees. His forehead was slick with sweat by then and there was extreme fear in his eyes. ‘He’s so strong! There’s a possibility he might be at the level of a warrior emperor!”

Life After Prison Chapter 1035-“Kyron!” cried out Kyron’s underlings. They were shocked by just how strong the invisible air pressure was too.

However, Severin was able to control the air pressure to be concentrated on only Kyron so his underlings remained unaffected. Even so, they could feel the immense energy Severin was emitting and they knew they were no match for him.

“I… I surrender!” shouted Kyron. He knew Severin was the real thing.

Severin smiled, and with a thought, the air pressure dissipated.

Kyron sat down on the ground with a thud as relief washed over him.

“Let’s go, Miss Chelsea,” said Severin with a smile.

“Okay!” Chelsea glanced at Kyron before following Severin out of the compound.

Kyron watched dazedly at the two disappearing figures. After a while, he finally stood up. “Just what is his level? That pressure just now… It was horrifyingly strong!”

“No wonder Mister Richard asked him to protect Miss Chelsea. She’ll definitely be safe with such a strong guy beside her!” said one of Kyron’s underlings.

Kyron looked at him and said angrily, “That’s what you think! We don’t even know Severin that well. What if he’s actually a pervert? Or he might have an ulterior motive?”

Kyron’s underlings exchanged glances with each other before smiling helplessly. They were no fools. They could all tell Kyron was jealous of Severin.

Very soon, Chelsea and Severin arrived at a plaza. Chelsea pointed to a restaurant just ahead of them. This restaurant has a very nice interior decor. I often come here with my friends. Do you want to try the food there?”

Severin smiled. “Sure, why not? I’m not a picky eater nor am I familiar with this place. So we can have dinner whenever you want.”

Chelsea smiled and together they walked to the restaurant. However, a frown appeared on her face as soon as she reached the entrance. “Sh*t! Just my luck to run into that fatso again!”

Severin turned to look at the man she was talking about. The fatso was dressed in a white suit. He was in a group with two other men and three beautiful women and behind them was a group of bodyguards. It was like a congregation for spoiled rich kids..

One of the women, dressed in a white dress, saw Chelsea. She immediately greeted her warmly. “Oh hey, Chelsea! You’re back.”

Chelsea smiled at the lady and whispered to Severin, That’s my friend from university, Audrey Moore. I get a headache everytime I see her ’cause she’s been trying to set me up with that fatso over there. The fatso comes from a second-tier upper-class family so Audrey’s dad, a businessman, has been trying to get on his good side.”

After that, she sneaked a peek at Severin and realized he was actually quite good-looking.

Life After Prison Chapter 1036-After mulling over it, Chelsea added, “You saw me naked this afternoon so you owe me this favor. When we go in, pretend you’re my boyfriend and we’ll be even after this.”

Severin was speechless. A few seconds later, he whispered back. “Didn’t I just give you a first-grade high- rank pill just now? So we’re already even, aren’t we?”

“No, that’s not enough. No guy has ever seen me naked before. You’re actually the first one so you’ll need to do a little bit more for me to call us even.”

Chelsea raised her head and stopped talking immediately because her friends were closing in on them as they spoke.

Audrey grabbed her hand and asked with a smile, “Chelsea, when did you come back? Why didn’t me?”

you tell

Severin could tell the two girls would be very good friends if it were not for the fact Audrey insisted on setting Chelsea up with the fatso.

Chelsea smiled neutrally. “I just got off the plane today, I was planning on telling you tomorrow so imagine my surprise to bump into you while we’re on our way to get dinner.”

After that, Chelsea greeted the rest of the group, leaving the fatso last. “Hello, Mister Rico. It’s been a while.”

Rico Miller looked Chelsea up and down before smiling. “Miss Chelsea, you’ve become even more beautiful than I last saw you. I did say you’ll grow up to be a beautiful woman, didn’t I?”

After that, he glanced at the handsome Severin and asked, “Miss Chelsea, when did you change your bodyguard? And where are the rest of his team? Didn’t you use to have a whole bunch of them protecting you?”

Seeing Severin not offering an explanation, Chelsea took a step back and locked her fingers with his intimately. “Audrey, Zayne, Mister Rico, let me introduce you all to my boyfriend, Severin Feuillet.”

“He’s your boyfriend?” The smile on Rico’s lips immediately stiffened while his face turned cold. Audrey’s face darkened too. After all, Rico had promised her his family would give her family the project they had been wanting as long as she set him up with Chelsea.

“You’re joking, right, Audrey? How come I’ve never heard you talk about him before? When did the two of you start dating?”

“We’ve only met each other a few days ago. I guess that’s what you call love at first sight,” Chelsea explained with a smile.

“Oh my god, Audrey! You must be crazy. How can you date a guy who you’ve only met a few days ago? Do you even know him well? What if he’s a scammer? You know there are more sc*mbags than good guys. out there, right?!”

After she said that, she rolled her eyes at Severin with disgust. It was obvious which category of man she had put him under.

Instead of getting angry, Severin simply smiled and said to Rico and his friends, “Hey, she called you guys sc*mbags.”

Audrey was shocked. She quickly defended herself. “I wasn’t talking about them!”

Severin looked at her. “Miss Audrey, how can you tell whether a man is good or a sc*mbag? You make it

sound as if you have details of all the men in the world.

“Why you…!” Audrey’s face turned red with anger and yet she could not offer up a retort.

“Severin Feuillet?” Rico frowned in thought. After a while, he smiled and said, “How come I’ve never heard of him before? Which family does he come from?”

Life After Prison Chapter 1037-Audrey immediately recovered from her shock. She took a good look at Severin and asked, “Severin Feuillet? I’ve never heard of this name before. He’s not from Wymount City, is he?”

“Does it matter where I’m from?” Severin asked with an indifferent smile. He then put his arm around Chelsea’s waist to get a rise out of Audrey. “What matters is we love each other, right, Chelsea?”

Chelsea was shocked by his action but then she started to mentally curse him for taking advantage of her. However, she knew she could not push him away; not when everyone was looking at them so she smiled awkwardly and said, “Yes. That’s all that it matters. I don’t care whether he’s rich or whether he comes from an upper-class family or not. All of that doesn’t matter to me!”

Audrey saw her opening. She immediately said snarkily, “Like hell I would believe that. Who doesn’t love money? You’re not worthy of being with Chelsea if you’re not rich!”

“She’s right! Don’t you know money makes the world go round?” said Zayne, coming to Audrey’s defense. Audrey became emboldened when she saw Zayne standing up for her. “You’re good-looking, I’ll give you. So I can’t help but think you’re using that as a way to cheat your way into marrying Chelsea and become a kept man!”

“Chelsea, you want to find a boyfriend? Fine, no comment. But you can do better than this rando, right? Apart from being a little better looking than me, I don’t see what’s so good about him. Just what are you thinking?” said Rico.

Sheila smiled embarrassedly. “It doesn’t matter to me that he’s not rich. I’m happy as long as I get to be with him.”

“Chelsea, you’ve really lost your mind. You come from a third-tier upper-class family so the only guy who’s good enough for you is a guy from the same kind of family as yours! Besides, won’t you feel embarrassed if this boyfriend of yours can’t even afford to take you out to a fancy dinner?” said Audrey.

She then turned to Severin and said condescendingly, “You must think Chelsea is an easy target given how simple and innocent she is. But that’s where her friends come in. We’ll never allow her to be with at penniless punk like you!”

“Yeah, leave her if you have no money or power!” said one of the other girls in the group. “Do you even know how much she can spend on a meal? Tens of thousands, I tell you! And not to mention her penchant for buying thousands-dollars bags. Could you even afford it?”

Severin smirked. “Tell me something. What makes you all think I don’t have the money to buy her a fancy dinner? Did I ever say I was poor?”

Audrey scoffed. “Anyone can lie about having money!” She then turned to Chelsea and asked, “Chelsea, you should treat the gang to dinner since we haven’t seen you for so long.”

“Sure, why not. That can be easily arranged,” Chelsea agreed without hesitation. Besides, it had always been a habit of her to buy dinner for her close friends.

“Yay! Thanks!” said Audrey before turning to say to Severin, “Hey, handsome. You hear that? She said she’s going to buy us dinner. Since you’re her boyfriend, you’re not really going to let her pay for the dinner, right?”

Life After Prison Chapter 1038-Chelsea’s lips twitched involuntarily. ‘Dr*t! I’ve been set up by her.’

She immediately smiled awkwardly and said, “What are you talking about, Audrey? You’re all my friends, not his. Besides, this is his first tirne meeting you all so I should be the one paying for the dinner.”

Hearing this, Audrey and Rico exchanged glances with each other. At that moment, they became even more confident that Severin was poor because if not, Chelsea would not have insisted on paying for the dinner.

“Chelsea, it’s only dinner. I’m sure your boyfriend could afford this much. Besides, aren’t your friends his friends too? Since you two are together and all. There’s really no need to nitpick about whose friends we are,” said Rico.

“Mister Rico is right!” Zayne piped up. “We’ll just treat the dinner as a celebration of you two dating. So your boyfriend should be the one paying. Plus, we’ll be hanging out quite often in the future and as a man, it won’t look good on him if you’re the one footing the bills all the time. It’ll be okay if you guys are married but do you really want a miser as your boyfriend?”

Chelsea was at a loss for what to say. She initially came up with this plan to make Rico give up on her but she never expected that it would put Severin in such a difficult spot.

However, to her surprise, Severin simply smiled. “You guys are right! I should be the one buying the dinner. Let’s all go inside the restaurant!”

Audrey stretched herself before saying pointedly, “Thanks but we’re quite worried you won’t have the money to pay later. It’ll be awfully humiliating if that were to really happen, don’t you think? So I suggest

you come clean with us while you still have the chance.

“Don’t worry. This is just chump change to me. Besides, money is nothing but a number to me,” Severin assured with a smile, thinking Rico and the others were nothing but foolish troublemakers.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Audrey led the group to the private dining room on the second floor. Once there, the whole gang ordered a long list of the most expensive dishes and alcoholic drinks on the menu.

“Audrey, aren’t you all ordering a little too much? Can we even finish it? You should ease up on the red wine too. It’ll be a waste if we can’t finish all the bottles.” said Chelsea.

It was obvious she was worried Severin would be humillated once everyone found out he did not have the money to pay for the bill. Added to her worry was the fact that she did not know Severin’s bank account number so there was no way for her to secretly wire him some money.

“Don’t worry, Chelsea. We can ask the restaurant to pack up the leftovers for us to take away if we really can’t finish them. As for the wine, the restaurant can keep them for us and we can come back another time to finish them,” said Audrey with a smile.

She then handed the menu to the waiter before leaning back on her chair and said condescendingly to Severin, “I did a rough calculation on the wines we ordered just now and they came up to a total of around two-hundred-and-eighty-five-thousand dollars. I’m telling you now so you won’t be shocked later.” Severin smiled. “Why thank you. But is that really the best you can do? I was prepared to shell out more than a million dollars!”

Life After Prison Chapter 1039-Audrey’s lips twitched uncontrollably. She never expected the tables would turn like that. ‘Ooh… I’m going to make him pay for humiliating me like that.”

Zayne raised up his glass. “Come, everyone. Let’s raise up your glass and cheers to Chelsea coming back!” “Yeah, it’s been a while since we all drank together. Let’s go all out tonight since we’ve ordered so many good wines!” said Rico. He was in a bad mood but he forced himself to be calm.

Everyone started drinking and eating after that.

After a while, Rico deliberately asked, “Severin, you didn’t even blink at the prices on the menu. Could it be that you come from a filthy rich family?”

Severin smiled. “My family is comfortable. What I can say is we’re definitely way richer than your family.” Rico’s lips twitched violently while his face gradually darkened. He never expected Severin would be that arrogant.

“Huh! I bet you’re just talk. Did you have a lot to drink? Are you drunk?”

Audrey chuckled. “Rico actually comes from a second-tier upper-class family. Do you know what that means? It means his family has a fortune of at least 15 million dollars! That’s not an amount you can easily surpass, you know.”

Severin smiled. “There’s no point comparing him to me since we’re not even in the same league.”

“Why you!” Rico gritted his teeth. He wished he could ask Severin to show me the amount of money he had in his bank account, but alas, even he knew that would be very rude.

Chelsea frowned. She was really worried Severin was just bluffing. ‘But he has an attainment of at least level seven or a level eight warrior king so surely someone like him will be able to afford this dinner, right?”

She told herself that she would be spared from humiliation as long as Severin could pay for this dinner and then, she would only have to wire him the money later in the night.

At that moment, Zayne smirked and said, “Severin, how come we’ve never heard of you if you’re so rich? There’s not a lot of wealthy families in Wymount so we basically know all the rich guys in this city.”

Severin smiled. “Well, now you know me.”

“D*mn, that’s actually kinda smooth.”

One of the other girls rolled her eyes at Severin. “Says the man you had a lot to drink tonight. Are you going to pretend to be drunk later so that you can worm your way out of paying?”

Severin smiled. “Don’t worry. You all will be drunk before I get even close to that.”

He was very confident of his alcohol tolerance level. The reason he got drunk last time was because his drinking buddies Calum, Seymour, Zeke, and the others were all people who had an extremely high alcohol tolerance. They kept toasting to him so he had no choice but to drink more than usual. “Haha. Chelsea, is talking big the only thing your boyfriend is good at doing?”

Life After Prison Chapter 1040-“How can you let such an unreliable guy be your boyfriend? Wouldn’t Mister Rico here be a better option?” Audrey asked snarkily.

As good-tempered as Chelsea was, even she could not stand how Audrey kept on picking on Severin. Her face darkened. “Audrey Moore, I know what kind of boyfriend Severin is, so you don’t have to worry about anything. Plus, sticking your nose in other people’s business is really not a good look on you.”

Audrey’s face darkened too. Sensing she had pushed Chelsea to her limit, she softened her tone a little.” Chelsea, we meant you well. We should marry our own kind. We’re also worried you’ll be cheated by a sc* mbag.”

Unexpectedly, the restaurant’s manager came running into the room and said, “I’m sorry, folks. But someone has booked the entire restaurant so all of you will need to eat somewhere else.”

“You must be joking, right? Who’s the arrogant pr*ck that’s kicking us out?” Rico asked unhappily.

“Are you blind? Don’t you know this here is Mister Rico, of the Miller family? How dare you kick us out when we haven’t even finished our food,” uttered Audrey coldly.

“I’m sorry but the person who booked the entire restaurant is the mayor’s son. He said he wants to hold a banquet for an important figure. So we have no choice but to request you all go eat somewhere else.”

After a pause, the manager added, “By the way, Mister Harry said he’ll pay for everyone’s dinner.”

“Oh, it’s Mister Harry. We should just go then. We’re nearly done eating anyway. As for these wines… we can ask the restaurant to keep it for us next time.”

Rico immediately gave in when he heard it was Harry who booked the entire restaurant. He was definitely someone he could not afford to cross. Harry was known as a ruthless guy so everyone knew to stay away from him. The people who had crossed him all died under mysterious circumstances the next day.

“Good call, Rico. I’m actually quite full already so let’s all go,” said Audrey.

Everyone, including Chelsea, stood up. ‘This is so unfair… she thought. ‘But it’s not we can do anything about it.’

Audrey scoffed when she noticed Severin had remained seated. “What are you still sitting there for? Get up now. You should count yourself lucky that you didn’t need to foot the bill for this dinner since Mister Harry paid it off already.”

Zayne was crushed that he would not be able to see Severin being humiliated so he scoffed too. “Yeah. You’re really lucky to be getting away with this!”

Severin said nothing; he simply poured some more red wine into his glass. Seeing this, the manager’s expression hardened. “Mister Harry said everyone has to leave within ten minutes. The ones that do not will be punished accordingly so hurry up, Mister. The clock is ticking.”

Severin took a sip of his wine and said to the manager, “Don’t you think what Mister Harry did is a little unfair to all of us? He should’ve booked the restaurant earlier if he so desperately wants to hold a banquet for an important figure. We haven’t even finished eating and yet he’s kicking us out?”
