Chapter 393
“Okay. Let’s go.”
Severin nodded and drove to the Shanahan’s estate. Quickly enough, they reached their destination. At that moment, George,
Stanley, and the others were already there in the living hall. And so were Megan, William, and Felicia too.
“Hurry up. We’re waiting for you two!” Stanley said impatiently when he saw Severin.
After the night he got tricked by Severin, he held a grudge against Severin. He contacted Coco the next morning. She said she
was drunk and fell asleep in the bathroom. Her explanation was her phone ran out of battery when Stanley could not get hold of
her when he tried calling her. Stanley felt helpless. He knew she was lying but there was nothing he could do.
However, Coco was very benevolent. After she received seventy-five thousand dollars from Severin, she gave the other girls
seven thousand dollars each and told them to keep it a secret.
Since Buttercup and Tina did not do anything, especially anything bad, they were happy to receive the money.
Thus, Stanley had no money to go out and have fun the days after that night. Recalling how Severin tricked him, he was not in
the mood. Especially how Catherine valued Diane and Severin even more now.
During these few days, he had been trying to contact Robin. Yet, Robin could not be bothered to reply to him. His hope of being
a live-in-son-in-law was near zero. It pissed him off even
more.
Severin looked at Stanley and knew Stanley was still pissed off about that night. He could not be bothered to deal with him and
said to Catherine, “Grandma. I’m sorry for being late and having everyone wait for us. We were shopping just now and were
quite far from here.”
Catherine waved her hand. “Sit down. There’re some seats over there. They were just here a moment ago. There’s no hurry.”
Severin nodded and brought Diane and Selene to the empty seats to sit. After Severin sat down, he realized the place they sat
was near the front. Obviously, it showed their status in the family.
“I’ve gathered everyone here today to tell you two news!” Catherine smiled.
“The first news is the upper-class families had gotten together to attack the Horsfields. With the involvement of Brookbourn
Mansion and the other businessmen, the Horsfields are now broke. The head of the Horsfield and Edward had left the city with
the remaining cash!”
Upon hearing that, Diane could not help and look at Severin. Yesterday morning, Severin told her to terminate the partnership
with the Horsfield. From the look of it, he must have known this was happening.
Catherine smiled again. “But I know our family had terminated our partnership with them. earlier and found new business
partners. Many other businessmen now discover our potential and seek to cooperate with us. Therefore, we didn’t suffer any
huge losses. The only project we had with them ended yesterday too.”
At this point, she paused and looked at Diane. “Diane, it seems like you know something was going to happen to the Horsfiled.”
