Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 

Catherine thought about what Felicia said and eventually replied, “A dowry of one-and-a-half million dollars is nothing. It’s not like we lack that kind of money. What’s more important is building a relationship with the Horsfields. It would indeed be good if Diane marries into their family!” 

“Yes! Exactly!” Felicia’s eyes lit up. For the record, after Diane was kicked out of the Shanahan home, the money in Diane’s bank card was all taken back by the Shanahans. 

Though Felicia, William, and Megan were still living with the Shanahans, they had been sidelined by Stanley. 

William was never a capable person to begin with, so he could only work in the company’s warehouse. The salary was not very high to begin with, but Stanley slashed his salary and even came up with all sorts of reasons to deduct it even further. In the end, his pay was peanuts. 

Felicia did not work, so she spent her free time playing bridge with her friends. 

Megan, on the other hand, graduated from university only recently and had yet to find a suitable job. Besides, there had been no shortage of money when Diane was still the company’s general manager. Life was good for Megan, so it follows that she would most certainly look down on normal jobs. 

Without Diane’s income, their family’s life became difficult overnight. Stanley even took the car that the company provided to them. It was frustrating to constantly be pushed around by 

everyone. 

The potential million dollar dowry that Felicia was eyeing would make their family’s life a whole lot better. 

That being said, the Shanahans did give them some money every month for their living expenses, but those few hundred dollars that they received were far from sufficient for Felicia and Megan. They were used to the high life, and a measly couple of hundred was barely enough for them to purchase some better handbags. 

Back when Diane was the general manager, they received more than 10,000 dollars a month, and Diane’s high monthly salary reached tens of thousands too. When Diane was chased out of the home, their bank cards were frozen and all that money was taken back by the company. Felicia and Megan’s life took a a hundred and eighty degree turn overnight. For those reasons, Felicia was very eager to marry off Diane to Edward. 

Alas, she was taken aback by the old lady’s subsequent remark. 

“I heard that Edward’s a terrible person. He’s a womanizer who always goes out frolicking with women even though he already has a wife! Since we’re still unsure of Severin’s relationship with Henry, I still think it’s best to persuade Severin and Diane to come back here and live with us!” 

Felicia became anxious when she heard that and immediately protested, “But all Henry did was invite Severin to a meal. Just how good can their relationship be? Let’s not forget that Severin is an ex-convict. What sort of benefits could we expect to get from him?” 

Catherine’s face soured and she shot back, “Then why, pray tell, did Henry invite Severin instead of 

us?” 

Felicia opened her mouth to refute, but there was nothing she could say.
