Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 

Stanley felt annoyed as he watched Severin and the others leave. He could not bear it any longer and said to his grandmother, “Don’t you think you’re being too hasty, Grandma?” 

In response, Catherine rolled her eyes at Stanley and said, “You’re an idiot, you know that? There is more to Severin than meets the eye. His relationship with Larry must be deeper than it looks since he could get Larry to come over with just a phone call,” Having pointed that out, the old lady paused for a moment and said again, “Besides, we won’t stand to lose any money now, right? We’ll be making a lot of money if he can secure the Liberty City project. If he can’t do that, then I can. always get Diane to relinquish her position when the time comes.” 

“Okay then.” Stanley accepted it on the surface, but he was still a little upset because he did not want Diane to be above him. 

“That felt good! Haha! I can’t believe I’d ever see the day when Stanley would be so deflated! His face turned ashen earlier!” Megan said with a smile after returning to their residence. 

“I couldn’t agree more! It feels like I’ve finally let my anger out!” Felicia was also feeling buoyant. 

William, however, did not seem to share much of their enthusiasm. “I’ll admit that it felt good, but Stanley’s the kind who is naturally vengeful. We might have the upper hand this time, but what we did was practically offending him!” 

Upon hearing that, Severin said disapprovingly, “You shouldn’t think that way. There have been. many occasions when we think that it’s best to just give way, but is it really the best option? None of you have ever offended him in the past, and yet he continues to oppress you like nobody’s business. If you don’t resist or fight back, he’ll treat you like pushovers and keep oppressing you even more!” 

“He’s right, Dad. If we don’t fight back, our enemies will treat us as easy targets.” Megan sided with Severin and felt more amiable to him. After all, he had given them a luxury car and vented their anger on their behalf. In the past, they were oppressed by Stanley very often, yet they were unable to fight back and could only keep their anger in their hearts. 

Diane was the only one who had a prominent frown on her face. “Stanley’s not that big a problem because he’s from our family. The most he’ll do is use some petty little tricks to make life difficult for us. What I’m worried about right now is Rufus.” 

“Him? Really? Don’t you think you’re worrying too much, Diane? They brought all their people here only to leave with their heads down because they didn’t dare to offend Draco Hall!” Megan had a different view compared to Diane. 

Diane smiled bitterly. “He was being courteous to Larry. Didn’t he promise to bring his men away if Severin could call Larry over? He kept his word so as not to ruin his reputation. But that doesn’t change the fact that both father and son are sinister individuals who are not to be messed with. Besides, he only helped because he needed Severin’s help to treat Larry’s mother. That can’t be the case every single time in the future.” 

“You’re right. That does sound troublesome!” Megan looked at Severin a little more worrisomely
