Chapter 11
“Timothy Tanner?” Severin’s face soured as he looked at the grinning man in front of him. He was a
little unhappy, but he forced a smile and asked, “What’s with the two of you?”
Quinn smiled triumphantly, “Can’t you see? We’re both married. We got married not too long after
graduation! It’s such a shame that you couldn’te to our wedding, but we understand. You were in
prison, after all!”
Severin’s expression sank even more. Although Timothy and Quinn were all smiles, their words belied
hints of a superiorityplex. Perhaps they felt that way because Severin excelled back in college and
was president of the student council!
“Where are you heading, Severin?” Timothy asked.
“Oh, the Richemont Hotel!” Severin said casually.
“I see! You’re attending Lucy’s wedding too? Well, hop in!” Timothy smiled. “Don’t worry, your clothes
might be a bit old, but it doesn’t really bother me. You should get the chance to experience what it feels
like to sit in an Audi!”
“Sitting in an Audi, eh?” Severin’s brows furrowed slightly but he soon shed a cold smile and got in
the car. “Honestly, I’ve never sat in an Audi before. Are the seats made of real leather?” As Severin
spoke, he touched the back seat and eximed, “Whoa! It’s really soft!”
“Hehe, look at you. You’re like someone who’s never seen the world. This car is the best of its kind,
costing tens of thousands!”
Timothy drove the car with pride and asked again, “Why are you still touching it? Will you be able to
pay for it if you leave a scratch on it?”
Severin smiled and said, “I still prefer taking a helicopter though. That was my mode of transport when
they sent me back here!”
“Cough, cough!” Quinn, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, nearly choked on the water she
drank when she heard Severin’s words. She screwed the cap back onto the bottle and turned around.
“You’re one to joke, aren’t you? A helicopter? That cracks me up!”
She then looked at Severin and added, “I remember you wearing these clothes in college, Severin.
Why are you still wearing them? They don’t fit you too well now, do they? And I’m guessing you just got
your hair cut?”
Timothy then remarked, “The Richemont Hotel is one of the most well-known luxury hotels in our city.
Severin should know how to pay attention to his image, but then a good set of clothes, pants and
leather shoes are really expensive, so a change of hairstyle might just do the trick. Haircuts are pretty
cheap now, aren’t they?”
Severin chuckled indifferently. “I was nning on getting a new set of clothes, but I was caught up in
something and didn’t have any time, so I decided to just forget about it! I don’t care about this kind of
stuff anyway!”
“Haha, just admit it if you’re poor. Isn’t that better than trying to act as if you’re not?” Timothy sneered.
Quinn said with a snicker, “Women like us have it easier. We don’t need to work too hard, as long as
we look good and find a rich man to marry!”
When Timothy heard that, he immediately retorted, “That doesn’t sound very nice, Quinn. Does that
mean you wouldn’t marry me if I had no money?”
“Duh. Do you want me to be poor with you?” Quinn rolled her eyes at Timothy and felt firm in her
conviction. After she finished speaking, she could not help but look at Severin and shake her head. It
was clear what she was trying to imply.
“You have a point!” Timothy chuckled, and said again, “You regret it now, don’t you, Severin? You know
that Easton is a rich man, yet you still had the guts to fight him. That’s just asking for trouble. Look at
me. I relied on Quinn’s longtime friendship with Lucy and cozied up to Easton, and the man just set up
a smallpany for me and gave me a few small projects. Now I’ve be someone with millions
worth in assets!”
At that juncture, he could not help but bask in pride while saying, “This car will soon fail to match my
net worth. I n to change to an A8 sometimeter. Driving a car like that is the only way I can show
off my wealth and status!”
Severin sighed to himself after hearing the exchange between Quinn and Timothy. He did not expect
that his college ssmates had be so materialistic and snobbish after only five years.
“I just thought of something, Timothy. You see, Severin was once our ssmate, right? He probably
doesn’t have a job since he’s fresh out of prison, so why don’t you let him work in yourpany as a
security guard? That should be okay, right?” Quinn thought for a moment and said to Timothy.
“I can’t do that, unfortunately. He’s an ex-convict. If anyone finds out that I hired an ex-convict to be a
security guard, it’d leave such a bad impression! Besides, is a skinny guy like him even able to put on a
fight? If I want to hire someone, it as to be those intimidating, thug-type guys. They have to be tall,
strong, and capable to scaring people just by standing at the door!” Timothy said.
“You have a point!” Quinn nodded in agreement. She subsequently asked Severin out of curiosity,
“Have you tried getting on Lucy’s good side? She might have broken up with you and married Easton,
but you and her were once together for three years! I don’t suppose there’s any issue if you ask her
whether Easton could give you some money to get by.”
Severin clenched his fist immediately after hearing that. “Ridiculous! Why would I need help from that
b*stard? Easton isn’t even worthy of carrying my shoes!”
“I know you’re angry, but you can’t me Lucy for what happened. Think about it, why would Lucy
have to wait for you when Easton is so rich and powerful?” Quinn sided with her best friend and spoke
up for her.
Severin gritted his teeth and said angrily. “I don’t mind it if she didn’t wait for me. My sentence wasn’t
one or two years, after all. What irks me is why she had to get together with the man who forced
himself on her back then.”
When Severin brought that up, he clenched his fists and said again, “The most despicable thing she did
was refuse to refund my dowry, sold off my matrimonial home to Easton for half the original price, had
Easton send his people to intimidate my parents, and then demanded my parents to fork out another
huge sum to pay him! I’ll take my time to get even with them, because I want them to understand the
consequences of offending me!”
“Gasp!” Quinn was a little scared when she heard that. She gulped and asked him cautiously, “Umm…
you’re not going to wreck things at the wedding, are you, Severin?”
Timothy was just as frightened when he thought of the possibility that Severin might be going to wreck
the wedding. He stopped the car at once and turned around to ask, “Are you for real, Severin? You said
you were attending the wedding, right? Are you going there just to wreak havoc? If that’s true, then I’m
afraid I can’t give you a ride there. I genuinely thought you were going to the wedding because you
wanted to give Lucy yourst goodbye.”
Severin smiled faintly. “Rx, you two. I’m not going to their wedding. Just looking at them disgusts
me. Why should I put myself through that agony? I’m going there because I was invited to a meal, and
the person happened to reserve a private room at the Richemont Hotel!”
“Who could that be? Are you trying to lie to me? Who would invite you to have a meal at such a high-
end ce?” Timothy looked at Severin in astonishment. With further thought, he realized that Severin
would be courting death by causing trouble at the wedding, since it would be tantamount to offending
the Loughs. Severin would then be sent back into prison just days after being set free, as his influence
paled inparison to that of the Loughs.
Besides, even if Severin was killed on the spot, the Loughs would not have to face any action simply by
virtue of who they were. More than a few people have been killed after offending the Loughs!
“His name is Henry something. Henry…uhh…Henry Longhorn!” Severin went nk for a moment and
eventually said calmly.
“Henry Longhorn?” Timothy and Quinn exchanged nces at each other and immediately eximed,
“You’re kidding, right? Henry!”

“Yeah. He’s an old man. Why are you both so surprised?” Severin still remained indifferent, as if he was
talking about something trivial like the weather.
