Chapter 726
“Sure. Let’s go do some shopping. I’m excited to have a look at the malls in this bustling city!” Diane smiled.
“You’ll become the wife of the governor in three days. People will have known who you are by then, so you probably won’t meet too many impudent individuals when you go out in the future!” Severin said after some thought.
“I don’t care much for an undeserved reputation like that. My only hope is that our family will be safe and sound.” Diane smiled and said, “But I do hope that grandma, my parents, and the Shanahans will be as strong as possible.”
Severin could not help but say to Diane, “Being safe isn’t easy in this world unless you’re already strong. enough. If you accidentally provoked someone you can’t afford to offend, then you’ll become nothing more than a little lamb who can only be at someone else’s mercy. Our priority right now is to make sure you get stronger!”
The two of them chatted for a while before going out to do some shopping. Soon, the two of them came to a mall and bought plenty of stuff, including some red wine. As they were on the way back to the car, they noticed that there was a bit of a commotion up ahead. Severin glanced over and saw a crowd that had seemingly gathered to watch something.
“Sigh, it’s such a shame that the once-dignified scion of the Neelys would be forced to kneel and lick someone else’s shoes!” someone lamented.
Severin frowned. ‘Scion of the Neelys? Didn’t I already have Horus killed? Was that person referring to Yoel?’
Yoel had left a good impression on him for being the kind of person who could distinguish right from wrong. Even if the Neelys had fallen from grace and their grand-elder was dead, Yoel would still have the second elder, third elder, and several other elders. It could not have been possible for Yoel to be bullied. that badly. From the looks of it, there were quite a few powerful forces in South Link City, because only those who were more powerful than the Neelys would dare to bully Yoel.
After a bit of thought, Severin decided to squeeze over and see what was all the ruckus about.
“Hehe, your family isn’t the county mansion anymore, Yoel. I bet a lot of people won’t cooperate with your family anymore, and your family is no longer as strong as ours after the death of the grand-elder. Let’s see if you still have the guts to take Delilah from me!” a fat man sniggered as he said to Yoel who was kneeling on the ground.
