Chapter 261
Diane rolled her eyes at Severin. “Of course not. If I got jealous just because another woman gave you a business card, then I’d probably spend my whole life being miserable!”
“Alright then, it’s about time we head back. Don’t forget our celebrations at the hotel tonight!” Catherine could not be happier. Everything that happened to the Shanahans that day
was a positive development, and she firmly believed that they
could soon rise to become a second-tier family if they could keep the momentum going.
After pondering over their newfound fortunes, she said to
Severin, “By the way, you should visit the Zelankos tomorrow and help check on their old lady’s health. It’d be best if you can help treat her because then the Zelankos would owe us a favor. We can leverage that at a later date to establish more business cooperations with them.”
“That’s right, Severin,” George chimed in. “And you mustn’t offend Sheila too. She seems interested in you, and our family’s future will be even more secure if you marry her!”
“That is just absurd! Severin is already our son-in-law!” Felicia’s expression soured as soon as she heard that.
To her surprise, George reasoned, “There’s nothing wrong with that, is there? Many rich kids have more than one wife. It brings us no disadvantage to have Severin marry Sheila, and I

think it’s his luck for being able to marry someone as beautiful as Sheila!”
The old lady nodded in agreement. “Indeed! There could not be a better outcome than that. I believe Diane will be able to look past it for the sake of our family!”
Diane had a gloomy expression, and she merely looked quietly
at Severin.
Severin found that proposal to be absolutely ridiculous. “What are you people thinking? I’m not interested in a girl that’s seven or eight years younger than me!”
“Don’t be an idiot, Severin! She’s the daughter of Brookbourn Mansion’s Zachariah, and I’m sure he dotes on her a lot. Everyone will envy you if you’re able to get the chance to marry her!”
“And besides, shouldn’t you be happy to marry such a young and beautiful woman as your second wife?” Stanley persuaded.
Severin looked at him and said irritated, “You can marry her if you want! I, for one, am not interested! I have Diane now, and she’s all I need! Diane has suffered so much for me, and I don’t want to do anything that would disappoint her!”
Diane’s heart felt warm when she heard that.
“Hehe, as much as I want to marry a little cutie like her, it’s a pity that she doesn’t take a fancy to me!” Stanley chuckled.
Diane smiled and remarked, “Why are you guys even thinking
about that sort of stuff? Sheila probably feels that Severin is different from other men because he helped her without asking for anything in return. You’re just exaggerating the situation to the point where you’re even asking Severin to marry her! Please don’t make all these wild assumptions!”
“Yeah. She just thinks it’s refreshing to meet someone with that character!” Severin said with a smile, then turned to Diane. “Alright, it’s time for us to go back and get some rest before we get our celebratory dinner together at the hotel!”
“Okay!” Diane nodded, and the two of them walked away.
At one corner, Frankie waved his hand and said to his disciples, Carmen and Leonard, “The operation to kill that kid begins now!”
