Chapter 213
Marie rolled her eyes at him. “See? Didn’t I say that we should always help our relatives in whatever way we can? You were always nagging at me not to do that, but look at how they’re repaying our kindness. Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself?”
In the past, Marie had lent money often to her sister’s family, and Simon nagged her about it all the time. He said that there would be no guarantee when, or if, Judith and Maurice could even return the money because Severin had gone to jail.
Marie was frequently at a loss as to how to refute his argument because Judith and Maurice were old and at an age where they could not earn much money anymore. With Easton’s subordinates coming over every month to coerce them into paying their debt to him, it was indeed highly likely that they could not return the money anytime soon.
“I would never have expected that Severin’s life would take such a huge turn for the better as soon as he was released. He can even live in such a huge villa too! He must be super rich, then!
Simon took out a cigarette and smoked it for a while before he said, “Why is he so rich, though? Could you explain it to me, Queenie?”
Queenie then told her family the details behind Severin’s wealth.
At that moment, Hugo had gone to the hospital and was standing in front of Hugh.
“Big H! You’re here? Boy, am I glad to see you. Have you managed to locate Queenie and Severin?” Hugh had a trace of excitement in his eyes when he saw Hugo’s arrival. He was already itching to smash Severin’s head into thousands of pieces.

“And then?” Hugh frowned when he noticed that something was amiss with Hugo’s expression.
“I told him that I’ll let him go if he could win against me, and when I punched him, I found out that I’m absolutely no match for him at all. He’s incredibly strong!” Hugo then said.
Hugh remained silent, knowing full well that Severin was certainly very strong if Hugo had been subdued by Severin. All of a sudden, however, Hugo said, “But don’t you worry, Little H. I’ll make sure to avenge you. I had to keep my word when I promised to let him go if I lost to him, but I’ll be sure to tell our leader to request the gang’s elders to take action against him. By then, we’ll straighten him out for sure!” After some thought, he added, “Perhaps I should bring more skilled people with me along with more of our men. I think all of us, me included, will be able to handle him!”
“Great. Thanks, Big H!” Hugh felt touched. “Thank you for taking the trouble for me!”
“Don’t sweat it! Anyway, get well soon, Little H. Leave everything else to me!” Hugo smiled and left with the men who came with him.
The next morning, Severin got up, opened the door, and saw Diane waking up in a sexy nightdress. He could not help but gulp when he saw Diane’s sexy figure and said to her, “Sigh,
