Ch. 501..510
Life After Prison Chapter 501-“Mister Theo, my man was beaten to a pulp by the person named Severin. The doctor said that he may have difficulty walking even if his leg is fully healed, and he would likely need to use. crutches for the rest of his life. You must get justice for him!” Lucy said impassionedly with reddened eyes. “Severin destroyed his attainment too. From now on, Cain said that he might only have the fighting strength of a grandmaster at most, and he will never be able to achieve another breakthrough again.”
“Severin, right? Do not fret. I’ll get someone to kill him. He has it coming for him!”
The man looked at Cain before saying to Lucy, “You may rest assured, Miss Lucy. Mister Cain and I are sworn brothers, and I’m a level nine profound master as well. I believe that there. wouldn’t be anyone in Brookbourn who could be a match for me. I also brought a dozen people with me too, and their strength is around Cain’s level. You can be sure that Severin is going to die!”
Lucy then said with a faint smile, “That’s great. I’m relieved that you’re here to help us, Mister Theo!”
Cain, who was lying on the bed, said to her, “Mister Theo and the others had a long journey here, and they probably haven’t managed to eat anything yet. Could you bring them to eat and then arrange a place for them to stay? Give them the best treatment and let them relax for at bit before bringing them to get revenge on Severin.”
After saying that, Cain took out his cell phone and said, “I’ll transfer one and a half million. dollars to you. Bring them to the best hotel, and treat them to a sumptuous meal!”
“Okay! Just leave them to me, Cain!” Lucy’s answered earnestly. Her eyes lit up and her heart skipped a beat when she heard that Cain was about to transfer one and a half million to her.
“I won’t be able to bring you around with my current condition, so I’m afraid I can only ask my girlfriend to keep you company. I hope you won’t mind!” Cain said to Theo after transferring the money to Lucy.
Theo smiled. “You just need to focus on recuperating, Cain. Just wait for our good news. We’re all a little exhausted today, but I’ll bring Severin’s head on a platter for you tomorrow!”
After Cain thought for a moment, he reminded Theo again, “By the way, I heard that the war chief Mister Valerian will be visiting the Shanahans today. Severin will probably be there too, so I’ll have Lucy bring you there and point out Severin to you from a distance. That way, you can see what Severin and his wife look like. Mister Valerian will be around though, so don’t do anything today!”
Theo was surprised to hear that. “Tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect that Dracodom’s war chief would. come to such a small place like Brookbourn and visit that sort of family. You don’t see that often. Anyway, you don’t need to worry too much. My goal today is to find out their appearances. Then, I’ll kill them both when the time is right, though it’s best to wait until tomorrow to find a suitable opportunity!”
Cain nodded. “Bring them to Diane’s company and the villa where Severin lives. I believe you. know all the locations, so it’d be better for you to bring them there!”
“Okay.” Lucy nodded. “I will!”
Cain then added, “By the way, Valerian will be flying off at noon tomorrow, Theo. Since you and your men are all from Cherridom, the ideal time to act would be after he leaves, which is around noon or evening. I wouldn’t want him to know that the people from Cherridom are here to cause trouble, and if he’s still in Brookbourn then, he will come for you if he feels that your actions are a show of disrespect!”
Theo nodded after hearing that. “I see you’ve made the necessary considerations, Cain. I understand. You may set your mind at ease and rest.”
Before long, Lucy walked out of the ward with Theo.
Life After Prison Chapter 502-Lucy felt a little awkward after being ogled at, but she could only smile at him and say, “Mister Theo, I think it’s about time I go back to the hospital and take care of Cain. We’ll leave it to you. and your men to kill Severin. Thanks very much again for your help!”
However, Theo said, “You don’t need to rush back to the hospital, Miss Lucy. Cain’s being housed in a special ward, where he’s being taken care of by nurses and two of my female subordinates. You don’t have to go back tonight, you know!” After a pause, Theo then said, Besides, even the best ward in the hospital is filled with the smell of disinfectant in the air. You’re a beautiful woman, Miss Lucy, and it’ll be bad for your skin if you stay in such an environment for too long!”
Lucy smiled awkwardly for a moment and did not know how to respond. After all, she and Cain. had requested Theo to do them a favor, and their quest for revenge might not bear fruit if Theo decided to stop helping them because he was unhappy. When she thought of the humiliation she suffered that day, she smiled at Theo and asked, “Well, why don’t I accompany you for a walk in the park over there? It’s your first time here too, so I ought to bring you around!”
Theo nodded with a smile. “Of course! Cain told you to keep me company, so that’s exactly. what you should do! That shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Life After Prison Chapter 503-Lucy’s heart skipped a beat and she could tell that Theo was trying to imply something else with that remark. However, she asked him in the hopes that she was just reading too much. into his statement, “Would you still like to eat and drink some more?”
Theo said with a smile, “I’m much too full already, thanks. I was hoping that we can do something else!”
Lucy smiled awkwardly. “I know a good sauna and spa center. How about I bring you there. later? Does that sound good?”
Unexpectedly, Theo shook his head and said, “I’m afraid that just won’t do. None of those. women can ever compare to you, Miss Lucy! Their beauty is barely a tenth of yours! Women like you
who have all the feminine qualities of an ideal woman are exactly the kind of women I like!”
Lucy’s mouth twitched a few times as she walked forward and said, “But it’s not right. This isn’t the time for jokes, Mister Theo. How could you do this to Cain when you’re his sworn brother? You shouldn’t have such thoughts.”
The sky was already dark by then and there was no one in the park.
When they reached a small wooden bridge, Theo immediately hugged Lucy from behind and then said to her, “But you look amazing, Lucy. I want you when I see you in that skirt. I’ve never enjoyed myself with Dracodom’s women before, so why don’t you be the first one to satisfy me? You’ve seen how bad of a state Cain is in, and it’ll be some time before he recovers. Even then, he won’t be able to walk properly. It’ll be a long time before he can satisfy your needs, so why don’t you let me satisfy you now?”
“No, no! You must be drunk, Mister Theo! You’re Cain’s sworn brother! This isn’t right!” Lucy was startled and wanted to push him away. “We’re in a park right now, and we’d be committing public indecency if anyone sees us! What if someone passes by? Please calm down!
Theo hugged Lucy, inhaled the delectable perfume that she wore, and touched Lucy’s sexy long legs with his hands. His desires were uncontrollable and he could not hold himself back. anymore. After some added thought, he tried to lure her with the promise of money. “Don’t worry, Miss Lucy, I promise not to say anything to him. As long as you do it with me just this once, I’ll give you one and a half million. How does that sound to you?”
Lucy, who was still struggling desperately, froze in an instant. ‘Just how rich could these people be? They can fork out millions at the drop of a hat!’ One and a half million was simply too tempting for her, and it made her heart flutter rapidly. After all, not even Easton’s family. could fork out that amount at their peak, so it came as a surprise to her that Theo offered her one and a half million.
Theo became even more delighted when he saw that Lucy had stopped resisting. He became. even bolder, and his hands began to venture deeper into her skirt.
After thinking for a moment, Lucy felt conflicted for a moment and broke away from his embrace while panting heavily. “No. You’re his sworn brother. I can’t do it! How could you even think of such a thing?”
Theo then asked, “Not even one and a half million can tempt you? If you say yes, I’ll transfer the money to you immediately and I promise not to say a thing to Cain!”
“No!” Lucy thought about it again and eventually bit her sexy red lips as she reiterated, You’re both sworn brothers. I can’t live with myself if I do that for one and a half million. It…it has to be more.”
“How much more?” Theo was a little stunned by her response. Any other woman would have said yes to one and a half million, but Cain did not lack money, as the money Theo offered was probably nothing since she had probably seen bigger sums from Cain.
However, judging from those few seconds that Lucy froze and did not respond, Theo knew in his heart right away that she could be persuaded with the right amount of money.
Life After Prison Chapter 504-“At least…at least three million!” After thinking for a while, Lucy stretched out three fingers. “Okay, three million it is!” Theo then pounced on her and began kissing her.
Lucy, however, continued to struggle as she said, “No, not here. Let’s go someplace else. It’s not the right place to do that sort of thing, and you need to do as you said earlier and give me the money!”
By then, Theo had completely lost his sanity and could no longer wait until they went back to the hotel. After looking around, he pointed to a bamboo forest not far away and said, “Let’s do it there. We’ve agreed with each other, and once we’re done here, you’ll have to stay overnight. at the hotel and keep me company!”
Lucy did not expect that pervert would be so demanding. However, she finally nodded when she thought about the three million dollars. “Okay. But you need to transfer the before we do anything.”
money to me “Don’t worry. This is just a small sum of money to me!” Theo stepped forward and carried Lucy up horizontally before walking towards the bamboo thicket.
On Severin’s end, he had to stay back and have dinner with Valerian since the latter was staying over with the Shanahans that night. However, the other guests had already left that afternoon. It went without saying that Valerian invited Warren to join him with the excuse. that Warren was his good friend and that they both had a good relationship.
Seeing that Warren was still wearing glasses, Megan could not help but smile and ask, “Your name is quite special, Warren. You share the same name as one of the war gods!” After a pause, she added
again, “I can understand your choice to wear sunglasses during the day, but you wouldn’t need them in the evening, would you?”
Warren smiled and said, “The first reason I’m wearing these sunglasses is because I think it looks cool. The second reason is that I have an eye disease, which I’m afraid might infect everyone. Now you know why I must keep them on. As for my name, there are a lot of people who are named Warren too, and I’m very honored to share the same name as the esteemed war god. Unfortunately, I’m not him!”
“Hehe!” Megan could not help but giggle after hearing his amusing statement. “Even if you were him, you wouldn’t be sitting here with us!”
Warren was tongue-tied for a moment before he managed to ask, “Is that so? Where do you. think I should sit if I were the war god?”
Megan smiled. “You wouldn’t show up here if you were him. After all, it’s already such a great honor that someone like Mister Valerian would come to our small city and visit a small family like ours. It’s almost surreal!’
“That’s right. It is surreal!” Felicia commented with a smile on the side.
After Diane thought for a moment, she said to Warren, “By the way, my husband just so happens to be a doctor, and his medical skills are quite up to par. Why don’t you take off your sunglasses and let him check? He might just be able to cure your eye problem!”
Life After Prison Chapter 505-“Yeah! Why don’t you let Severin have a look? He’s an amazing doctor. The Zelankos’ old madam was wheelchair-bound for more than ten years, but now she’s up and about! She even visited us today!” Felicia immediately said to Warren.
Warren did not expect them to be so enthusiastic about it, so he could only smile awkwardly in refusal. “That won’t be necessary. I have the medication, and I expect it to be fine in a couple of days!”
Severin smiled when he heard that. “Come on, everyone, let’s enjoy the wine! Any doctor can handle these minor illnesses, and he already has the medicine for it too. It’ll only be redundant if I check it for him!”
Warren raised his wine glass and said to everyone, “Mister Severin is right! Let’s have a toast!”
Everyone soon raised a toast. After Warren put down his glass, he asked, “By the way, I heard that Mister Severin is going to make it up to Miss Diane for their wedding. When will that be, I wonder? I’d love to come and raise a glass to the two of you!”
Megan then immediately questioned Severin too, “That’s right! Didn’t you say you wanted to hold a wedding for my sister? You even said something about causing a sensation throughout the south county! You weren’t just joking, were you?”
Severin smiled awkwardly and assured them. “There will be a wedding for sure! After all, Diane has suffered a lot for me, and I owe her too much. Since I’ve never given her a proper wedding before, I will definitely make it up to her!” Severin paused briefly after saying that and added, “But I’ll be busy in the middle of August, so I think it’s best to wait until I’m done with it before planning the wedding. We’ll choose a date once I return!”
When Felicia heard that, her face soured and she said, “What’s the meaning of this, Severin? Isn’t this your first Augustfest with us after you were released from prison? Now you’re telling won’t be around? What could be so important that you have to miss such an important celebration with family?”
us you Stanley immediately added, “Yeah, Severin! Isn’t this a little insincere of you? My cousin. suffered because of you for so many years, and this is her first time spending such a big holiday with you! It’s Augustfest! How could just leave her?”
“I can’t help it,” Severin said with an awkward smile. “It’s a very important day. I wouldn’t even think of leaving my parents to spend Augustfest without me if it wasn’t that important!”
Judith understood Severin very well, so she smiled at Severin and said, “We understand, Severin. Since you have something important to handle, you should go ahead and get it done. You’re back now, anyway, and we’ll have more opportunities to celebrate in the future. Don’t worry about missing this one, okay? We can always have gatherings whenever we want!”
After seeing the tenseness of the situation, Valerian helped smooth things over as he said, Hehe, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal if he’s not around during August fest. What’s more important is Mister Severin’s wedding to Miss Diane. Don’t forget to invite me! I’d love to come over and join the celebrations, and I especially love a grand feast!”
“What? Y-y-y-you’re going to attend the wedding, Mister Valerian?” Catherine’s voice trembled with excitement when she heard that. After all, it was already surreal for someone
like Valerian to visit their home, and it would be doubly better if he could come again a second. time. Moreover, it would bring even more pride to the Shanahans if Valerian attended Severin and Diane’s wedding.
“Of course! When it comes to these joyous occasions, I will be most happy to attend if I have the time!” Valerian stopped short of promising them just in case he had other more important issues to handle at the time. Furthermore, it would not be ideal for him to promise them. because the Shanahans might start telling everyone about it.
“Sure thing, Mister Valerian. I’ll let you when I have a date!” Severin then raised his wine glass. and said to him. “A toast to you!”
Life After Prison Chapter 506-“I’ll be there if time permits, Mister Severin!” Valerian felt at a loss when Severin raised a glass to him, and he could only respond with an awkward smile.
However, Diane noticed that subtle expression, and she could tell that something was amiss.
She could not wrap her head around why someone like Valerian would look so awkward after being toasted by Severin. It could be likened to when a subordinate felt flustered when their superior raised a toast to him. However, Valerian was a war chief, and his superior would have been one of the war gods. Severin could not have been one of those four because their identities were known to the world after the live broadcast of them receiving their award for their meritorious service. The whole nation would have seen them on screen.
In the end, Diane just shook her head and chastised herself for thinking too much. Perhaps. Valerian was simply a socially-awkward hothead who loves fighting, which could explain why he seems a little unaccustomed to the entire situation.
“Did you hear that, Severin? Mister Valerian said that he’ll attend the wedding celebrations. We’ll have so much to be proud of on that day! Diane suffered a lot for you, and you could say that it’s all worth it right now. You should decide on the wedding date as soon as you can!” Felicia was full of smiles. Her daughter could finally have a grand wedding which Felicia had also been looking forward to.
“Rest assured, we’ll choose the date once I come back!” Severin said with a smile.
Warren smiled as he told them, “I promise I’ll be there too if I have the time!”
“Haha, that’d be great! You’re more than welcome! I’m sure your eye disease will be cured by then, so make sure not to wear your sunglasses, and let me have a good look at your face!” Megan chuckled.
Everyone chatted happily throughout the evening, and once the meal with over, Warren took a walk with Severin in the yard and they chatted with each other for some time. When the clock struck ten, Severin drove back with his family to his home at Dragon Lake Vista.
On the way back, Severin smiled and apologized to Diane. “I’m sorry I can’t celebrate Augustfest with you Selene. I feel so bad that I can’t spend it with you!”
Diane smiled and said, “It’s all right. I’m used to it, anyway, and besides, I trust that you have. to leave because there’s something really important for you to do!” She knew that Severin. loved her and her daughter, and was a very filial son too. She therefore understood that he had something urgent that required his presence during the coming Augustfest.
Severin nodded. “You’re right. It is very important. My master told me that I would stand to gain huge benefits if I go to a designated place, though I’m not quite sure what that benefit is exactly!”
Life After Prison Chapter 507-“Huge benefits?” Diane’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She immediately said to Severin, Then you need to go! If you miss out on something good, you might regret it for the rest of your life!”
Selene, who was sitting in the back, asked her father innocently, “Come back soon, okay Dad? Will you bring me a present after you come back?”
Severin’s heart felt warm all of a sudden and he could not help but say to his cute little. daughter. “Don’t worry, Selene. I’ll bring you lots of presents when I come back!”
“Yay! Dad’s buying presents for me!” Selene bounced excitedly in the car.
“Haha, such an adorable little girl!” Maurice carried his granddaughter up and smiled happily as he said to her, “I’m going fishing tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?”
“Okay! I want to see Grandpa fish! Then…will we be eating fish for dinner tomorrow?” Selene looked at Maurice with her big eyes.
“Haha, of course we will! You know how good I am at fishing!” Maurice laughed again.
At noon the next day, the Shanahans, along with Brookbourn’s upper-class families and wealthy businessmen, went to the airport to see Valerian and the others off. After they left, Severin drove back home while Maurice brought Selene and Judith to go fishing together.
“I’ll have to go to the company, Severin!” Diane said to Severin after they reached home and she immediately put on some makeup.
Seeing that Diane had changed all her clothes, Severin could not help but ask curiously, “Are you dressing up like this because you have some important matters to deal with today?”
Diane smiled and answered, “Yeah. There’s a company that wants to cooperate with us on a project, so I’ll have to go over and discuss it with them!”
“I see. Don’t be too late then. I’ll be waiting for you at home!” Severin smiled. There were about six days left until 15 August, and he planned to spend two days with his wife and daughter before setting off for Dracodeus Isle.
“Don’t worry too much. It’s just a discussion. I’ll be back soon!” Diane felt a warmth in her heart as she walked up to Severin, kissed him on the cheek, and then walked out of the house.
The faint yet lingering warmth of her lips on his face made Severin touch his cheek while smiling. “My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world! I’m going to sleep with my arms. around her tonight!”
Wendy, one of the bodyguards, saw Diane leaving the home and decided to ask: “Are you heading out, ma’am? Lillie and I will go with you!”
“Sure. Come along then!” Diane nodded. She never liked going out with bodyguards in the past, but after being kidnapped by Rufus, she began to bring along the bodyguards that Severin hired whenever she goes out. For safety’s sake, she usually went out with two of the female bodyguards. None of the six bodyguards dared to let their guard down after what happened, and at the very least, they would no longer let her out of their sight so easily.
Life After Prison Chapter 508-Before long, Diane reached the company and entered through the main door. Wendy and Lillie followed her until she reached her office.
“Miss Diane! Our counterpart’s boss is already waiting for you in the office!” Diane’s secretary came forward and said to her as soon as she arrived.
“Okay!” Diane did not expect them to be there that early, so she smiled slightly and said to the two bodyguards, “Wendy, Lillie, you may sit and rest at the sofa over there. Don’t worry about me. This is my office, after all, so my safety is guaranteed. I’ll still call you if anything happens. though!”
Wendy and Lillie nodded before walking over to sit on the sofa.
After thinking for a while, Diane said to her secretary, “Could you make them each a cup of coffee please?” She then walked to her office, opened the door, and went in. When she entered, she discovered that the person heading the negotiations was actually a young man in his 20s, and he seemed a little handsome at first glance.
“Miss Diane, you’re here!” That man was none other than Quintus, whose family-the Novaks -were a second-tier family in Riverson. When he saw Diane’s arrival, he immediately stood. up and greeted her.
Diane smiled slightly, walked to the water dispenser, and made a cup of tea for him. While doing so, she made small talk and asked, “I was told that the Howell Group’s boss is an old man, so I’m curious to see a young man coming here today. Didn’t your representatives say that the old man will be discussing the project with me?”
Quintus could not help but gulp when he saw Diane’s sexy rear figure and slender legs under that skirt. When she came over, he smiled and said, “Haha, I didn’t expect that the Shanahan Corporation’s general manager would be so young and beautiful!”
but their Quintus then paused before he continued, “The Howell Group’s boss is an old man, group is merely a small part of our Novaks’ many business ventures. We dabble in plenty of industries!”
It was the first time that Diane met Quintus, and she was secretly delighted when she heard that. Judging by his tone, it was clear that she had scored a big client.
Quintus took out a contract and handed it to Diane. “Miss Diane, this contract here has been re - drafted. The distribution of benefits will be slightly different from the contract you. negotiated earlier!”
“Do you intend to lower the price?” Diane took the contract and asked straightforwardly before even reading it. With her vast experience in the business world, she knew that the other party’s sudden modification of the contract was nothing more than an attempt to lower the price and reduce the Shanahan Corporation’s earnings, Were that not the case, then there was no need for the contract to be re-drafted in the first place.
All of a sudden, Quintus smiled slightly. “Hehe, you’re mistaken, Miss Diane. Why don’t you. take a look at it first?”
Diane opened the contract suspiciously and looked at it carefully. After scrutinizing it for some time, she could not help but exclaim in surprise, “Is this correct? Mister Quintus, if you view it
from the perspective of interest distribution to your company, then you’re not making any money at all. We’ll be earning an extra thirty million if we complete the project! You’re kidding, right? What you’re doing is basically handing us all your profit!”
Quintus smiled wickedly and placed his hand on Diane’s thigh. “Miss Diane, thirty million isn’t a lot of money. Allowing your company to have this bit of profit will further cement the Shanahans’ status. I do have a small request, though. I just want you to spend one night with me!”
“Get out!” Diane’s face immediately turned red with anger and she pushed the man away forcefully before saying, “My family is making excellent progress, and even though the thirty million is a lot, I’m not the kind of person who would accept money in exchange for my body!”
Life After Prison Chapter 509-Diane was fuming, and her chest was heaving up and down. She never once thought that the other party would have that sort of idea, and yet his disgusting offer had proven that she had completely misjudged him!
There was a bit of surprise in Quintus’s expression because he believed that all women loved money, or at least, all the women he met in the past. However, he soon realized that the Shanahans were already excelling in their progress, with more and more companies willing to sign contracts with them with every passing day.
However, the key was that even if such contracts were signed, the money earned by the Shanahan Corporation would go to the Shanahans, and the amount that would end up in Diane’s pockets was bound to be significantly less. At most, Diane would only get a salary increase, or perhaps a year-end bonus.
When he came to realize that, he decided that he simply wanted to retaliate against Severin and therefore offered directly, “Hehe, I understand now. You won’t get that much money even if we sign the contract, so how about I just give you the thirty million in exchange for spending the night with me? A few hours will be fine too! Do that, and the money will be yours. Does that sound good?”
Diane became even angrier as she pointed at her office door and said, “Leave right now! What kind of woman do you take me for?”
Quintus’s lips twitched violently a couple of times. He stood up, suppressed his anger, and smiled at Diane, “Think about it, Miss Diane. This is thirty million we’re talking about. Who’d give you the chance to earn thirty million so easily? All I’m asking is for you to keep me company at a hotel for a few hours. It’s still early, so how about I book a room by the hour? Your husband won’t suspect a thing by the time you go back.”
He was still quite confident in his plan because he had already booked the room and installed. the cameras. If Diane went with him, then he would have a chance at cuckolding Severin. Besides, it would not be a loss even if he had to give Diane the 30 million, since he could always use the videos or photos to blackmail Diane in the future and force her to listen to him.
The thought of having such a young and beautiful woman serve him long-term was an exciting prospect for Quintus. Once he got tired of playing with her, he could always show Severin those videos. It would be such a huge slap in Severin’s face, and he was sure that Severin would break down completely.
His goal, after all, was to make Severin regret asking him to kneel on the street to apologize the other day. He wanted to show Severin that he, as the scion of a second-tier family in Riverson, was no pushover.
Once he killed Severin and exerted control over Diane, he would take over the Shanahans’ assets bit by bit and force Diane to sign some unfavorable contracts with his family. He would thus get more than ten times the 30 million that he spent on her, which was part of the reason why he had no qualms about offering her such a high amount of money.
Once Diane accepted his tempting offer, she would slowly but surely step forth into the trap that he had planned out, and before long, he would eventually become his plaything.
Diane gritted her teeth and continued to point to the door as she said, “Get out. I do sincerely hope that you won’t use money to insult me again in the future. I’m not a gold-digger!”
Had she been one, she would never have been disowned by her family, nor would she go so far as to become a food delivery person just to raise her daughter as a single mother for Severin’s sake. She had gritted her teeth and persevered during the lowest point of her life, so it stood to reason that she
would never agree to prostitute herself for the sake of 30 million. In addition, her life was as good as it could be, and she was very satisfied to live a life that she would never have dreamed of living only a few months ago.
Life After Prison Chapter 510-“Not even with thirty million on offer?” Quintus was shocked because he believed that not a single woman in the world would say no to money. Those who turned their noses up at it generally did so because the amount was too low.
After giving it some thought, he finally said, “I really like you, Miss Diane, and I want you very much. How does forty-five million sound then?”
“I told you to leave!” Diane’s expression was as cold as before and she warned him, “Get out now, or else I’ll call my bodyguards!”
Quintus frowned when he heard that and an idea soon popped up in his mind. Since being nice. to her was not working, perhaps he could try to be a little harsher to her and put her between at rock and a hard place. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and he no longer spoke politely to her anymore. Instead, he began threatening her. “Haha, do you know what kind of family the Novaks are? We’re a second-tier upper-class family from Riverson, and I’m the son to the head of the family! After a pause, Quintus continued, “Take the offer while it benefits you. Don’t wait until you have to suffer. Be a good little girl and listen to me. Take the money and keep me company just this once. If you won’t, then don’t blame me if my family decides to go against your family or suppress your businesses!”
Upon hearing that, Diane’s complexion soured instantly, and she never expected him to be so shameless. To make things worse, she did not know who he was or when she became his target.
Diane’s silence left Quintus feeling ecstatic since he believed that Diane was hesitating and that he had a chance!
“Think carefully now. This is forty-five million we’re talking about! I promise you’ll get that money in exchange for only a few hours of your time, and I can assure you that I’ll use protection so you don’t get pregnant. What do you think?” Quintus took another step forward to try and tempt Diane. The thought of being able to cuckold Severin made him extremely excited, especially since Diane had such a stunning figure.
He also added, “Don’t worry. As long as you sleep with me, I can always cooperate with company in the future on various projects. That’ll allow your family to prosper even more. Sound good?”
“No!” Diane smiled coldly again. “I’ll give you one last chance to get out of my office. I don’t want to cooperate with you, and I couldn’t care less about the money you’re offering. I trust that my husband is rich enough and strong enough to protect me and give the Shanahans a good future!” At that point, Diane turned the tables and threatened him instead, “Besides, my husband is good friends with Mister Valerian. No matter how powerful the Novaks are, I don’t think you’d be so bold as to offend a war chief.”
