Chapter 35


    Chapter 35


    Catherine thought about what Felicia said and eventually replied, “A dowry of one-and-a-half million


    dors is nothing. It’s not like weck that kind of money. What’s more important is building a


    rtionship with the Horsfields. It would indeed be good if Diane marries into their family!”


    “Yes! Exactly!” Felicia’s eyes lit up. For the record, after Diane was kicked out of the Shanahan home,


    the money in Diane’s bank card was all taken back by the Shanahans.


    Though Felicia, William, and Megan were still living with the Shanahans, they had been sidelined by


    Stanley.


    William was never a capable person to begin with, so he could only work in thepany’s warehouse.


    The sry was not very high to begin with, but Stanley shed his sry and even came up with all


    sorts of reasons to deduct it even further. In the end, his pay was peanuts.


    Felicia did not work, so she spent her free time ying bridge with her friends.


    Megan, on the other hand, graduated from university only recently and had yet to find a suitable job.


    Besides, there had been no shortage of money when Diane was still thepany’s general manager.


    Life was good for Megan, so it follows that she would most certainly look down on normal jobs.


    Without Diane’s ie, their family’s life became difficult overnight. Stanley even took the car that the


    company provided to them. It was frustrating to constantly be pushed around by


    everyone.


    The potential million dor dowry that Felicia was eyeing would make their family’s life a whole lot


    better.


    That being said, the Shanahans did give them some money every month for their living expenses, but


    those few hundred dors that they received were far from sufficient for Felicia and Megan. They were


    used to the high life, and a measly couple of hundred was barely enough for them to purchase some


    better handbags.


    Back when Diane was the general manager, they received more than 10,000 dors a month, and


    Diane’s high monthly sry reached tens of thousands too. When Diane was chased out of the home,


    their bank cards were frozen and all that money was taken back by thepany. Felicia and Megan’s


    life took a a hundred and eighty degree turn overnight. For those reasons, Felicia was very eager to


    marry off Diane to Edward.


    s, she was taken aback by the olddy’s subsequent remark.


    “I heard that Edward’s a terrible person. He’s a womanizer who always goes out frolicking with women


    even though he already has a wife! Since we’re still unsure of Severin’s rtionship with Henry, I still


    think it’s best to persuade Severin and Diane toe back here and live with us!”


    Felicia became anxious when she heard that and immediately protested, “But all Henry did was invite


    Severin to a meal. Just how good can their rtionship be? Let’s not forget that Severin is an ex-


    convict. What sort of benefits could we expect to get from him?”


    Catherine’s face soured and she shot back, “Then why, pray tell, did Henry invite Severin instead of


    us?”


    Felicia opened her mouth to refute, but there was nothing she could say.


    At one side, George frowned as a sudden thought came to mind. “Mom, are you considering using


    Severin’s rtionship with Henry to help us secure the project at Liberty City?”N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    The olddy nodded. “Liberty City is amercial project that the Longhorn family set up and poured a


    lot of money into. Plenty of upper-ss families and wealthy businessmen are targeting this project. If


    we manage to enter into this Liberty City project and secure a spot there, the long- term profit would be


    more than just several million… We stand to earn more than tens of millions!”


    There was a hint of excitement in Catherine’s eyes as she mentioned that. “If this projectnds in our


    hands, our status as a third-tier upper-ss family will be cemented, and there might even be hope for


    us to be a second-tier family in theing years!”


    “That’s right! Why didn’t I think of it?” George facepalmed and said, “We once sent someone to contact


    the person in charge of this project, but unfortunately, we werepletely ignored. They even said that


    we Shanahans have only been a third-tier family for just a few years, so weckpetitiveness and


    all that. But all that aside, there’s still hope for us if we manage to build a good rtionship with Henry!”


    Catherine smiled and agreed. “Yes, but we still don’t know the true nature of the current situation. Is


    Severin’s rtionship with Henry merely that of an acquaintance? Or are they good friends? If it is the


    latter, then there’s hope for us! When the timees, we’ll just let Severin bring it up to Henry! Then,


    everything will fall perfectly into ce!”
