Chapter 318
Felicia immediately added, “Yeah! We can’t just listen to Stanley’s one-sided story. You’re his parents, so you of all people should know what kind of person he is. Don’t ignore all his wrongdoings just because you want to protect him!”
“You…” Cherise gritted her teeth angrily and clenched her fists.
“Enough!” the old lady roared suddenly, sending everyone into silence.
A cold expression appeared on her face as she asked Robert, “Could you enlighten us on what really went on?”
Stanley folded his hands smugly. Robert and several wait staff saw what happened that night, as did the four B-girls. As long as they were called over to testify, then the answer to all those questions-especially whether Severin was there, whether he mentioned anything about treating them, and whether he had left with another woman-would all come to light!
To his surprise, Robert smiled and said, “I’m not too sure, ma’am. One of our wait staff said that Mister Stanley made this order and requested four of our girls to keep him company while drinking. As for this Severin person, I must confess that I don’t know who that is, or whether he was around!”
“You’re just trying to frame Severin, aren’t you? It was you who ran up the huge tab just to try to put all the blame on my son-in-law!” Whatever the situation might be, Felicia did not want Severin or her daughter to pay any of the money. After all, sixty-six thousand dollars was simply too much, and she was adamant on pushing the responsibility all on Stanley. Stanley gritted his teeth and stood up. “Hehe, is that right? I called Severin tons of times, but not once did he answer my calls. I bet he’s inside a hotel room with Coco! How about we let Diane call him and see if he dares to answer your call right now? Go ahead and ask him if he’s been in this bar with me.”
“Call him, Diane. Tell him to come here and explain what the hell is going on!” Catherine finally said to Diane after some thought. Diane nodded and called Severin.
Lo and behold, the call was answered as soon as she hit the dial button. “Hey, honey, is something wrong?”
“Where are you? Could you come here, please?” Diane bit her red lips and told him to come to the bar where they were. Truthfully speaking, she was still a little worried because she was afraid that Stanley’s words might be true, in which case she would be tremendously disappointed at Severin’s awful behavior.
After all, even if Severin has liked other women, it would be less of a blow to her if it was a decent woman, such as Sheila or Robin. In the same vein, she would be severely heartbroken if he casually got together with those indecent gold-diggers.
