Chapter 786
Manny nodded seriously. “I know it now.”
After that, he looked out the window while he was feeling extremely happy. Once Severin was dead, his family was going down with him. By then, he could bully Diane in any way he liked.
After some thinking, he thought of something. “Oh, Dad, did you see the other woman together with Severin just now? She’s very pretty too and she looks very young and cute. Do you think they are related?*
“Oh, that woman. Her name is Sheila Ballard. The daughter of Zachariah Ballard, the mayor of Brookbourn. Yes, she does look good. It’s very rare to see such an energetic and pretty girl now,” Yacob answered.
“Yes.” Manny nodded with a plan in mind. “Dad, she’s really very pretty. What about we go visit her father and get her father’s permission to marry her? It’s not every day that I get to meet a girl that I like.”
He knew very well that Yacob would never allow him to marry Diane who was already married and the wife of their enemy. Thus, his plan was to bully and play with Diane and not married her.
On the other hand, Sheila was different. Not only was she from a reputable family, but she also looked very young. Most likely, she was still a virgin. A girl like her was a suitable candidate to become his wife.
The suggestion obviously had stunned Yacob. After a while, he looked happy. “You’re finally willing to settle down. It’s good to get married early. You can learn to be a responsible father soon and I can be a grandfather too!”
“Then let’s go propose two days later!”
Manny smiled. He believed as the son of Yusky’s mayor, Zachariah had no reason to reject his proposal since Yusky was one of the most powerful cities in South County. However, he reckoned the reason Sheila had known Severin was because Severin was also from Brookbourn so it was normal for Sheila to
go visit Severin when she was here. Or maybe Zachariah sent Sheila there to grovel Severin with gifts.
At the same time, Shane reached Neely’s residence with a bad temper. When he reached the door, he started shouting from the bottom of his lung.
“Yoel Neely! Get the hell out here this instant!”
