“Wonderful! I heard that the food here is quite expensive, so by the looks of it, Severin has turned into a
very promising young man!” Vincent smiled awkwardly and then took out the cigarettes he bought from
a supermarket down the street. He distributed them to Simon and the others as he said, “Have a
smoke, Simon! Enjoy the cigarettes!”
Severin and Diane exchanged nces at each other. He had told Diane everything about his family’s
rtionship with Vincent, and neither of them would expect him to be so shameless as to go there
uninvited.
Vincent probably only brought his family there after seeing Marie mention the Bloomington Hotel on
social media, and to put it bluntly, they could be best described as a ‘fair-weather’ family.
“Come on in and have a seat! We’ll get the waiter to start serving you food once we are seated!
“Vincent was Severin’s elder after all, and there was nothing Severin could do or say when Vincent was
so thick-skinned. All he could do was wee his uncle with a smile.
The entire table was soon full of people, and Vincent could not help but exim when he looked at the
luxurious VIP room. “Heavens, is this how the VIP room in a five-star hotel looks like? It probably cost a
couple of thousand to reserve the room, in addition to a one- time minimum spend of several thousand!
None of us can even dream of achieving such a thing!”
“Several thousand? How ignorant!” Gaston scoffed disdainfully on one side and said, “This is a ce
not even we can dream of affording. The minimum spent here is a hundred and fifty thousand!”
“A-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dors!” Vincent gulped in fright and had plenty of vivid expressions on
his face.
“You stuck it big, huh, Severin? Who’s this prettydy, by the way?” Vincent snapped back to his
senses after a brief daze, and was curious when he looked at Diane who was sitting next to
Severin.
Diane was good-looking and had a rather unique temperament. Even though she was just sitting there
without doing anything, she gave everyone the impression that there was more to her than at first
nce.
That was when Severin stood up and introduced with a smile, “Most of you might not know who she is
yet, but this is my wife, Diane Shanahan. She’s a daughter of the Shanahans and the current general
manager of the Shanahan Corporation!”
He then nced at Selene who was sitting beside him and said with a smile, “This is my daughter,
Selene!”
“Diane? They’re a true blue third-tier family with assets over a hundred and fifty million dors! I never
expected to meet her in person here!” Gaston was shocked and could not help but tter her, “Miss
Diane, my nephew is truly lucky to have the honor of marrying you.”
Though he spoke in a praising manner, he thought to himself with a sneer, ‘So that’s why Severin could
afford to pay for this meal. He got lucky and met a rich woman!’
Although he begrudged Severin’s with all his heart, he had to admit that Severin made good
Judith smiled awkwardly. “Sorry about that, Vincent. I’ve been really busy recently, and I just happened
to forget. I was worried you wouldn’t have the time either! But you’re here now, so go on in! The food’s
been ordered too!”

use of his youth and handsome looks to marry a woman who could support him financially. Gaston then
looked at his fat and donkey-eared son Pierre, and felt that no rich woman would ever fall for someone
like that.
Pierre, however, was jealous of Severin for being able to marry such a good-looking wife, so he could
not help remarking sourly, “That exins how you were able to treat us to such an expensive meal. It’s
because you married a rich woman! Then again, I don’t think Miss Diane will even consider someone
like you if she doesn’t have a child?”Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
Gaston pulled a long face when he heard that. The Shanahans were a family that they could not and
should not provoke. ‘Did Pierre knock his head on the wall or something? He shouldn’t say something
like that even if he’s upset! If Diane is offended, she’ll make sure all of us will have a difficult life!’
He red at Pierre and said coldly, “What nonsense are you talking about? They married because fate
brought them together!”
Queenie immediately chimed in as well. “Yeah, the two of them are fated to be together. Selene is
Severin and Diane’s daughter, so please don’t make any wild guesses about their
rtionship!”
