Chapter 247
“But, Maurice…Severin hired the bodyguards for our own good. I’m not used to it either, but we both need to slowly learn to get used to it, okay?” Judith advised. “Severin would be worried if we don’t have any bodyguards by our side. Didn’t we always get bullied by Easton’s people when they were sent to collect money from us? We don’t have to be so scared anymore now that we have bodyguards with us!”
“Sigh, but it still feels so foreign to me!” Maurice could not help but sigh. He was a little speechless, after all, because it was very awkward to have two young and beautiful women accompanying him all the time.
“Okay, if you’re still uncomfortable with it, then I’ll hire some male bodyguards to protect you. That should be okay with you, right?” Severin could not help suggesting with a smile when
he saw his father’s uneasiness.
“But isn’t that an even bigger waste of money?” After giving
some consideration to Severin’s idea, Maurice felt that it would be such a shame to spend extra money on that.
“Don’t worry about it, Dad. I’ll hire two strong male
bodyguards so you won’t feel awkward anymore. And don’t worry so much about the money!” Severin said directly.
At that moment, Diane had just reached home after getting off
work, and a bodyguard was following right behind her too. As
soon as she returned, she smiled and said, “Mom, Dad, the launching ceremony of the Liberty City project will be held the day after tomorrow. You should come along too.”
Judith immediately waved her hand. “Thanks, but Maurice and
I won’t be attending. Grand events like that really aren’t our
thing.”
Maurice agreed. “She’s right. I think it’s good enough that you
and Severin are attending. We won’t feel comfortable at that sort of place!”
Diane thought for a while. “Okay then. Grandma said that they’ll be treating us to a meal at a big hotel tonight. You don’t have to go to the event, but you must come for dinner!”
“Okay, sure!” Judith was all smiles and felt increasingly satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
Frankie and his male disciple Leonard Ballard were having a
drink at a bar. The two of them were hugging two beautiful women each, and they were both having a swell time there.
However, one of the female disciples came over as soon as they exited the bar. Frankie looked at her and asked, “How’s the investigation going, Carmen? Have you found out where Severin is staying? When will be the best time for us to act?”
