Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 

“There’s no harm in keeping quiet, is there, Megan? Why are you getting all angry with the bodyguards?” Felicia chided when she saw that Diane and Severin were not very pleased with what happened. 

She smiled at them, recalled the reason for their visit, and said to Severin, “I’m sure you remember the bet we made, right?” 

Severin had a grin on his face as he answered immediately, “Of course. But it’s only been two or three days though. Are you all getting overly anxious? I’ve assured you that the seven-and-a-half million dowry will be ready for you within a month!” 

In response, Felicia hurriedly said, “No, no, that’s not it. We didn’t come here to rush you. There’s just one other thing that we need to tell you!” 

“And what’s this ‘other thing’?” Severin frowned and was slightly puzzled. 

Felicia paused briefly before saying, “Our previous bet remains the same, but we’re adding another 

extra condition!” 

“Another extra condition? What do you mean by that?” Severin’s face soured. “A bet takes effect when both parties accepted the initial conditions, and no changing of the terms is allowed. Are you guys deliberately trying to make things difficult for me because you know I’d win?” 

Diane felt that they were being very unjust toward Severin and immediately said to Felicia, “You can’t just change the terms as you please, Mom? The agreement was seven and a half million. Are you now telling us that it’s too little?” 

“Hehe, not at all. Seven-and-a-half million is plenty! I would never dream of having so much money! 

Felicia chuckled. “The extra condition that I wish to add is that you’re not allowed to sell this villa to raise money for the dowry. Is that fair?” 

“I’m not allowed to sell the villa?” Severin had a puzzled expression on his face. He never intended to sell the villa at all. It was a very good piece of property that was located in a strategic place and was also relatively quiet. There was no reason for him to sell it, especially since it was given to him by Henry as a token of appreciation. If he sold it off, then it would be tantamount to a massive show of disrespect. Should that happen, then other people might think of him as someone who likes to take advantage of others. 

“That’s right!” Felicia immediately reasoned. “Where are you going to live if you sell it? Mister Henry gave it to you as a gesture of thanks. Selling it is like slapping Mister Henry in the face! Besides, I don’t want my daughter to live in a run-down house after marrying you. You need to give us the dowry without selling this villa!” 

“Yes. If you want to win the bet with me, you’ll have to fork out more money!” Megan said triumphantly. “If you can’t, you’ll leave Diane so that she can be with a rich kid like Edward. Even though Edward didn’t offer as much money as you did for the dowry, but he can always take out more if he wants. You, on the other hand, are probably just bragging! More importantly, Edward is the Horsfields’ only son, so I take it you’re smart enough to know what that means.”
