Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 

Felicia’s expression became exceedingly ugly. Those projects did not matter to her at all, and all she wanted was the dowry. 

The old lady looked at Felicia. “My dear Felicia, I’m not asking you to reject Edward immediately now, am I? You can drag it out a little longer while we figure out the relationship between Severin and Henry. If their relationship turns out to be very good and Severin can help us secure the Liberty City project, wouldn’t you accept him as your son-in-law? If their relationship isn’t all that impressive, then you can always try to persuade Diane to marry Edward. If she still won’t listen, then there’s nothing we can do about it.” 

“I understand now.” 

Felicia nodded and was roughly able to grasp the old lady’s intentions. 

Megan thought for a while and then said, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Diane was only stubborn back. then because of her reluctance to part with her baby, not Severin. Now that we’re willing to welcome her back home again, I’m sure she’ll come back. She is a very filial daughter, after all, and she’ll leave Severin if it means giving Selene a better life in the future!” 

-The old lady chuckled. “That’s for a future time. If we want to persuade the two of them to break things off with each other, we’ll only do so later. My priority right now is to find out if Severin can help us secure the project! If he can’t, you can always fall back on persuading her into getting together with Edward!” 

Megan smiled awkwardly and thought to herself, “This old lady sure is a sly old fox. She keeps all those options open so she’ll get the best out of whatever happens.’ 

After Severin and Diane finished their meal, they led Selene down to the hotel lobby. 

“Mister Severin, please feel free to seek me out if you ever need my help in the future!” Henry said to Severin with a smile. 

“Mister Henry, you’re more than welcome to give me a ring if you require any help next time!” Severin reciprocated. 

His response prompted Diane to roll her eyes at him. “What else would Mister Henry need your help for? It’d be better for you not to trouble him!” 

“Haha, that might not necessarily be the case, you know. Severin here is no ordinary individual, haha!” Henry laughed, got in the car with Charmaine, and left. 

Severin led Dlane to the front desk and said to the beautiful receptionist, “Did Lucy and the others bring the money?” 

The receptionist immediately lifted a big red-and-white woven bag, which she gave to Severin.” 

It’s all here!”
