Chapter 190
People tended to say men went wild when they had money to splurge. Could it be true?
‘I waited so many years for him to come back. The suffering and misery I received because of him. Is he really having another woman just because he’s rich now? Diane thought.
She shook her head. “No! That’s impossible. It’s impossible! Did you guys see clearly?”
At that moment, she thought Edward had photos of Severin sleeping with another woman. That thought scared her so much that her face went pale.
“Look, Diane. See this woman. She’s wearing a mini skirt and black stockings. She doesn’t look like a decent woman. I’m sure you don’t know who she is. Severin was released from jail not too long ago. I don’t think he’s in contact with many people. If he’s not having another woman, then who is this woman here?” Edward said.
He went to Diane and wanted to show her the photos. Diane was scared and refused to look at the photos because she was afraid Severin was a b*stard just like what they said. The thought of her sacrifices all these years was for nothing had petrified her.
Regardless of that, she gritted her teeth and decided to look. After one look, she was relieved. She rolled her eyes at Felicia and Megan.
“Mom, what the hell are you guys thinking about? Severin was just standing there having a conversation. It’s not like they were sleeping together. What’s the matter wrong with you guys? You gave me a scare!”
“But-but this woman is wearing stockings!” Edward was not going to give up easily. “And they just came out from the sales gallery. I bet they went there to buy a house. Severin must be thinking of sugaring her by buying her a house!”
Diane explained, “Mister Edward, this is a misunderstanding. I know this woman. She’s Severin’s cousin. She’s a decent woman. They had helped Severin’s parents many times over the past few years by lending money to them. Last year, her mother needed to undergo surgery so she could only borrow money from other people. In order to pay back the money, she was forced to work in the bar as a B-girl.”
She continued, “Severin told me this morning before he left. He was going to ask his cousin to resign and also paid back the money he owed to her. I know about this!”
“Gosh, so she is Severin’s cousin!” Felicia was relieved to hear that.
“That’s good. I really thought he was cheating on you!” Megan ran her hands down her chest to
calm down.
“But-but why did they go to the sales gallery?” Edward asked.
His face looked terrible. He had the intention to break up Severin and Diane. Yet, that woman was actually Severin’s cousin. It put him in an awkward situation.
