Life After Prison

Chapter 314
The three of them continued to drink while waiting for Severin to answer either call back or answer Stanley’s call.
Unfortunately, half an hour had passed, and still, he did not answer Stanley’s call. “Why isn’t he answering yet?! Something
doesn’t seem right!” Stanley finally started to panic. The wine bottles were almost empty, but Severin still did not answer the
phone. ‘Am I really going to have to foot the bill? I don’t have that much money!’ Though he had planned to let Severin fork out a
huge sum for the bill, he did not expect the man to leave without making the payment.
By then, he started regretting his decision to rake up such a high bill. ‘Would Severin have paid the bill if my orders only came to
a little over a hundred and fifty thousand? Did Severin leave because he realized that I was trying to fleece him by ordering all
these expensive items?’ As all those thoughts began to pop up in his mind, Stanley could not help but slap himself. “Why are you
so stupid, Stanley? You shouldn’t have ordered so much earlier! Why didn’t I see the bigger picture, damn it?! If I didn’t order so
much, the girls could’ve brought him to the hotel. once he got drunk! Then I’d have the photos, and I could’ve extorted twelve
million dollars. from him tomorrow! He definitely wouldn’t have refused!”
“You should wait a little longer, Mister Stanley. Since Doctor Severin is a genius doctor, he could’ve taken some strong-acting
medicines so he could last longer!” Buttercup said after some thought. “Let’s wait for another half an hour!”
Alas, whether it was half an hour or another hour, none of Stanley’s calls to Severin were picked up. Fewer and fewer people
were at the bar, which made Stanley panic even more. As time passed, Stanley made a few more futile phone calls, only for
Robert to once again walk in with his men.
“Any updates, Mister Stanley? Would you want to continue ordering some more wine? I just asked our general manager about
the bill, and he said that I can give you a small discount of nine thousand dollars. You’ll only have to pay sixty-six thousand now!”
Robert smiled slightly and said to Stanley.
“But I...I don’t have that much money! I can only come up with ten thousand or so!” Stanley gulped, took out a cigarette, and lit it
up. “Ask Severin to pay up! He’s supposed to treat us today!”
“Hehe, how are we to know who’s treating whom today? And besides, you’re the only one here, so the responsibility to pay the
bill falls on you!” Robert chuckled and said, “Mister Stanley, please don’t force us to take action. I’m sure you’re aware of the
owners behind the scenes. We’re not afraid of the Shanahans!”

Robert then paused for a moment and continued, “You can either pay the bill, or you can ask that Severin guy to come over and
pay the bill. We’ll give you one more hour to call him. If you can’t get him to come over, we’ll chop off your hands and see how it
goes from there!”
“No, don’t! I’ll call him, okay? I’ll call him!” When Stanley heard that they were going to chop his hands, his face turned pale with
fright and his hands trembled as he took out his mobile phone to call Severin again. Unfortunately, the call went unanswered just
like the previous attempts.
“Mister Stanley, we’re...we’re leaving now! Tina and I won’t be keeping you company now that the wine has gone.”
Buttercup and Tina could bear to wait any longer, and they stood up to leave.
“F*ck you two!” Stanley cursed angrily while sitting on the sofa. “I’ve treated you people countless times and yet all of you run off
as soon as there’s the slightest sign of trouble!”
