Chapter 219
“That means Severin was the one who got Miss Diane pregnant all those years ago!” Gaston immediately put two and two together. He heard about what happened to Diane in the past, but he did not expect that the person was actually Severin.
The waiter had already brought the dishes out by then, and the luxurious dishes were an eye opener for Clement, Vincent, and everyone else.
Severin smiled, and introduced all his relatives to Diane.
“Alright, let’s have a toast, everyone!” Maurice finally picked up the wine glass and said excitedly, “Sigh, I never would have dreamed that my son would turn out so promising that he gave us a huge eleven million dollar villa to stay in, and even brought us to this sort of place to eat such an expensive meal. I still can’t shake off this dreamlike feeling I have!”
Severin could not help but feel a little emotional when he heard that. As long as his were happy and could feel proud of themselves, he felt that everything was worth it.

Judith raised her wine glass and then clinked glasses with her sister Marie. “Thank you, for your help these past few years. We wouldn’t have survived this far without you.”
Marie smiled. “You’re too kind, Judith. We never would’ve expected Severin to repay us too. Four hundred and fifty thousand is a huge sum, and we’ve never seen so much money in our lives! We still have some money left over after we’ve bought a house and a car, and Queenie said she’ll use the money to do some business.”
“You’re more than welcome. Severin’s been telling us since the day of his release that he’d
repay
the kindness that you’ve shown us tenfold!” Judith was radiating with happiness too, and she never felt that proud in the past before.
“What? The villa you’re staying in now is worth eleven million?” Vincent was shocked by the revelation. He knew that his sister’s family had become rich, but he did not expect them to be that rich. It was as if the gap between them and Judith’s family had suddenly become so great that they were several tiers beneath the latter, and judging from her tone, Severin did indeed. give Marie and her family four-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars in return.
Queenie felt good when she saw the other party’s surprised look, because people like Vincent and Gaston used to look down on Severin’s family. Hearing that Severin had become rich and repaid Marie’s kindness more than tenfold came as a severe slap in the face, and they could only look on with envy.
“They’re now staying at Dragon Lake Vista, and the villas cost a fortune!” Queenie said with a smile. “Severin even hired six beautiful bodyguards. You don’t do that very often, do you?” “Whoa, they have bodyguards?” Gaston exclaimed animatedly again. It was a life he envied, but small-time business owners like him had not reached a stage where he could hire a bodyguard.
After everyone had a toast, they all sat back down.
