Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 960

Chapter 960 

“By the way, since you’re a county governor, you must’ve prepared a very unique gift for the province governor, right?” Satchel thought for a moment and smiled coldly before deliberately trying to put Severin in a hard spot. 

He believed that Severin did not have much money after only being appointed not too long ago, and although the county mansion had great potential for development, all of that was speculative income. Out of all the county governors he had met, he believed that Severin was the one who had taken up office the most recently. 

Severin knew that Satchel was trying to make him look bad on purpose, so he smiled slightly and said, “It should be decent, I suppose. This is our first time here, after all, so we can’t be stingy now, can we?” 

“Haha, how about we head on in then? We shouldn’t be standing in the way of everyone at the entrance. It’d be better if we headed to the waiting lounge for now.” When Regan saw the situation, he knew that there was something amiss about the conversation. He smiled awkwardly and immediately tried and ease the atmosphere. 

“Waiting lounge?” Severin frowned and was a little confused. 

Regan then smiled and said, “This is your first time here, Mister Governor, so you’re probably unfamiliar with the procedure. The province governor is a person of noble status, and this entrance is where the guests are requested to show proof of their invitations. Only those who have received an invitation will be allowed to enter.” 

After a pause, Regan continued, “Those who are qualified to enter will be directed to that hall over there, where there are sofas, tidbits, wine, and the like. Once the majority of guests arrived, a person will be stationed at the entrance to the waiting hall, and that is when the gifts will be recorded.” 

“I see. I didn’t think the province governor’s birthday would have so many complex procedures,” Megan could not help but smile wryly. 

“It’s mainly because there are a lot of guests. Managing it systematically will make things smoother.” Regan smiled awkwardly, but everyone knew that it was because the province governor was a proud person. 

Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance to the mansion, and they walked in after handing over their invitations. After being led into a hall, Severin realized that there were already many people in the waiting lounge, all of whom were chatting with each other while waiting for the banquet to begin. 

Several people happened to be talking about Severin at that moment. 

“Have you ever met the South County’s governor? I heard that he’s a young man in his twenties,” the first person said with a slight smile. 

Another person then said, “Not yet. He just took office, didn’t he? I’m surprised to hear that he’s a young man whom no one seems to know. The past county governors were all slightly older, and they were most mayors who oversaw some of the more renowned cities. I wonder what’s going on, and why they would let someone so young be appointed as the county governor.” 

A third person then smiled and said, “He would certainly have a very bright future ahead of him if he became the governor at such a young age. I have a daughter, so I was wondering if I should marry her off to him?” 

When the previous person heard that, he hurriedly persuaded him, “Don’t be so impulsive. Young people are often the ones who tend to be impulsive, and being young and ambitious might not be as good as you
