Chapter 233
Edward heard the question and sneered coldly. “What’s with the rush? You know I hate Severin too, right? If he is not dead, Diane will never become my woman.”
After that, he looked at the chairs beside him and said, “Sit and we can talk more. Don’t worry. I’ve hired the assassin. I think Severin is going to be dead in two or three days.”
“Is it? That’s wonderful!” Easton was relieved after hearing that. The grudge he had with Severin was not going to disappear if Severin continued to live.
Yesterday, he and Lucy went to the hospital for a check-up. Unfortunately, the doctor could not find anything wrong with his brother. All the reports indicated his body was fine.
However, his body just would not react to any woman. He felt so helpless and infuriated. Especially since he could not do anything when Lucy was sleeping beside him every day.
There was a hunch telling him Severin was the one who caused this to him. Yet, it was impossible for him to ask Severin to cure him. Not when Severin also wanted to kill him badly and Severin had not done it because Severin wanted to torment him first.
“Hey, I got some fine wine in the house. What about when we drink it?” Edward invited.
He got an idea in his head while he was secretly admiring Lucy’s sexy long legs.
“Sure. It’s my honor to drink together with you!” Easton accepted the invitation with sparkly

Easton’s family was not even considered a third-tier upper-class family. If he could curry favor with Edward, there could be a chance Edward and his family could spare some chances for his family in the future. Once his family was on the rising, there was a chance his family could enter the world of the upper-class family.
On the other hand, Lucy looked worried. Quickly enough, three of them went to a living room on the second floor. They were served with a few side dishes to go with the wine.
“How is it? Not bad, right?” Edward asked Easton cheerfully.
“Yeah. It’s good. It’s not every day that I can drink such nice wine!” Easton chuckled. “I will feel at ease once Severin is dead. I cursed him every time I saw him. He ruined my wedding and made a fool of my family. My parents feel so ashamed every time they need to go out.”
He paused a while before continuing, “They even asked me to stop causing trouble to Severin because they were scared knowing Severin is on good terms with the Longhorns. F*ck! How the hell am I going to let it pass so easily? I don’t care. I must have him killed!”
“Haha! Let’s not talk about that. You need to trust how good those assassins are!” Edward laughed and said, “Come on, you have to drink more today. Think of it as a pre-celebration for success!”
Edward continued to pour more wine for Easton. After a while, Easton had drunk more than he should have. Lucy was just taking small sips occasionally.
With the help of the wine, Easton gathered his courage. “Mister Edward, I heard you have a project on the north side. Coincidentally, my family is into the air-ventilation business. I
