Chapter 575
Severin looked at Gracie’s shy demeanor and instantly knew that she had misunderstood. The fate he was talking about was not the fate between a man and a woman, but fate that he had come across one of the twelve halls. This is bad. Maybe I’m too handsome that this beautiful lady here is starting to take an interest in me. She might be trying to hint at something when she dressed so seductively after a quick.
bath!’
The atmosphere here instantly became a little awkward, and for a moment, neither of them knew what to say to the other.
“Let me pour a glass for you, handsome!” Eventually, Gracie was the first to break the silence. She hastily poured some wine for Severin and deliberately asked, “By the way, how did you and your wife meet? I’m jealous that she got to marry a such a wonderful man!”
Severin smiled wryly and said, “I met her in the most unimaginable way possible. It all started five years ago when I was in a relationship with a college classmate whom I loved very much. We dated for three years, and I did everything she asked of me. After we graduated, my family gave her family a dowry and we got engaged.”
He had a lot of wine with Wesley earlier that night, and he began to open up as he reminisced about his past after Gracie brought it up. Severin took a sip of red wine and said again, “When we bought a home to live in after we got married, I imagined what it would be like to marry her, work hard together, have a child, build a family, and live happily together.”
“And then?” Gracie asked eagerly. “Did you and your fiancée get married?” She was excited to get to know Severin better.
Severin shook his head. “No. There was this rich guy named Easton who set me up. He arranged for my friends to get me drunk, and he then gambled with me. I wasn’t sober then, and he….” Severin then recounted what happened that fateful night.
After listening to the full story, Gracie was filled with emotion as she said, “I didn’t think that our supreme leader would’ve gone through so many things. Lucy’s such a terrible person! Even if you went to jail and she doesn’t love you anymore, she has no reason to treat your parents that way. She’s lucky you didn’t kill her! I can’t believe she would keep doing such terrible things to you again and again!”
Severin smiled wryly and said, “Yes, but I’ve already gotten my revenge. Her dream was supposed to be shattered when I made Easton bankrupt and left him in huge debt, but I didn’t expect her to get cozy with him just a few days after he came back from Cherridom!”
“Cherridom? Ugh, they’re the worst! He should be grateful that all you did was break one of his legs and destroy his attainment. I didn’t expect him to get his men to stir trouble with you! He’s despicable!” As Gracie spoke, she could not help but clenched her fists as if to protest the injustice done unto Severin.
Severin said with a faint smile, “Haha, you know, there are times when killing a person is far too light a punishment for them. I enjoy it when they’re powerless to do anything to me even though they can’t stand
