Life After Prison

Chapter 498
“Miss Diane! Is there something I can help you with?” Keagan smiled and asked when he saw Diane coming over to him.
“Wasn’t it Mister Valerian who led a team of people to rescue you and your sister? Why did you have to kneel and thank my
husband? Could it be a misunderstanding?” Diane asked him. Keagan replied with a surprised expression, “Don’t you know,
Miss Diane? Your husband seems to be a rather good friend to Valerian. When we were held hostage by one of Falcodom’s
powerful organizations, it was a phone call from Mister Severin that led Mister Valerian to bring his people and investigate the
situation before rescuing us and wiping out that. organization!”
There was a surge of tumult in Diane’s heart as soon as she heard that, since she had never expected something like that to
happen.
Keagan noticed her surprised look, so he glanced at his surroundings before whispering, Miss Diane, my father told us that
Mister Severin is one of those quiet, low-profile, godlike savants. I believe he’s never told you anything about that, judging from
how surprised you look. You have nothing to worry about with a man like him as your husband!”
Diane eventually nodded. “I guess Severin and Mister Valerian probably go a long way back. No wonder he was so nonchalant
when he spoke with Mister Valerian earlier. Now that I think about it, Severin’s probably the reason Mister Valerian accepted my
invitation and came to visit our family. He never told me anything at all, and you don’t know how worried I was earlier that Mister
Valerian would get angry at him!
Keagan could not help but laugh when he heard her complaints. “Haha, perhaps there are certain things that Mister Severin
wishes to keep from you because he’s afraid of scaring you
you
find out. I would think that most people would either not believe him or accuse him of lying if he were to tell them that Mister
Valerian was his friend!”
if
Diane smiled. “That’s true. Who would’ve thought that an ex-convict would know someone as untouchable as Mister Valerian?
Even I feel like I’m dreaming after hearing what you said!” She then ended the conversation there and said, “All right, I’ll leave
you to enjoy yourself now. Make sure you eat and drink your fill later!”

After walking several steps, Diane looked at Severin from afar again and could not help but think to herself, ‘Didn’t think you’d be
keeping such a low profile. I wonder if there’s anything else you’re hiding from me? Didn’t you say you’ll give me a wedding that
will cause a sensation throughout Brookbourn and even in the entire south county? Now I’m getting more. excited for it!”
The thought of that left her smiling sweetly. Considering that there were more than 100 cities. in the entire south county, she was
always under the impression that Severin was simply trying to brag.
Knowing that Severin harbored certain secrets made Diane look forward to the wedding even more, and she genuinely began to
feel that Severin could live up to his promise. After all, it would not be too far-fetched given that he knew Valerian..
Be that as it may, she was also very puzzled as to how someone who had been in prison for several years know a war chief like
Valerian. Someone who was at war on a battlefield could.
not have known a person who had been imprisoned, and there was no plausible explanation for how they met. Curious though
she was, she felt that there was no need to question Severin about it because she trusted that Severin would reveal what was
necessary to her when the time came. If he did not tell her anything yet, then Severin must have felt that the time was not right.
Asking him at the wrong time was undoubtedly not a good idea.
‘Wait. I remember him telling me that a savant gave him so much money that he would have no problem buying the entire city of
Brookbourn!’ Something came to Diane’s mind again and her heart skipped a beat.
However, she called Severin a braggart when he said that to her at the time. Severin later said that he had only about fifteen
million, which he later showed to her.
‘Does he really have more than that? Could he have told me that it was fifteen million because I didn’t believe him, and he was
afraid of scaring me?’ Diane gulped in shock when she thought of that. ‘If what Severin said last time is true, then just how many
billions does he own?’
