Chapter 409
“Dad? Y-you’re letting me play with my handsome Severin?” A shocked expression ran across Sheila’s face. She had plans to sneak out of her home, but she was afraid it would anger her father. She didn’t expect her father to have a change of tone. What a surprise!
However, Sheila didn’t immediately put down her guard. “Hehe, are you testing me?”
“Testing you? I recently have a better impression of Severin. If you can find a way to become his wife, I think that’s a good idea too!”
Zachariah thought Severin was more than what he seemed. He was impressed with Severin’s ability to mobilize a powerful force with a phone call, his friendship with the War Chief, and also having Draco Hall under his thumb. Compared to the other young men in the city, he would be the best son-in-law he could ever ask for.
“Dad, you’ve changed!”
Sheila looked at his Dad mischievously, and realization dawned upon her.
“Oh, I see what’s going on now. Severin made a phone call to ask a friend to save my dear cousins, and the War Chief was the one who rescued them. So that means they’re friends. Tsk, tsk, Dad. That’s why you have that change of heart, right?”
Sheila gave her father a contempt look. “I’m happy you approve of me hanging out with my dear Severin, but that’s despicable of you, Dad! Hmph!”
“Me, despicable? Then don’t you dare go meet him!” Zachariah jokingly said with a laugh as he watched his daughter happily set out.

Sheila looked at the time, and it was only eleven in the morning. Figuring she could reach the Shanahans’ estate by lunchtime, she presented the gifts. she had bought for Maurice Feuillet and Felicia. Then, she drove off to the Shanahans’ estate. “That girl likes our Severin, huh?” Maurice sighed as he watched the car drive
away.
“Why are you sighing? Having someone who likes our son means he’s capable!” His wife Judith replied.
“Yes, he’s capable, but he’s already got Diane. Will Diane agree to Sheila getting in between. them? Besides, Sheila is kind but also headstrong. I fear if something bad happens to her, the Ballards will show no mercy to Severin or even us.”
A frown appeared across Judith’s face. “I’ve never thought about that. However, isn’t it normal for the rich to have two wives or more? We know Diane is considerate, but will she accept the idea? Moreover, the Shanahans are eager to ride on the coattails of the Ballard. family. Do you think the Shanahans will approve if Severin marries Sheila?”
“I think they will. However, I don’t think Diane would approve of it. Even if she did, Sheila might not be content to be on equal footing with Diane.”
Maurice frowned a little before he continued. “Come to think of it. The rich and powerful could afford to marry multiple wives. Severin may have good relations, but is he capable enough to be a match for the Ballards? Will Zachariah Ballard be happy to let his daughter
