Chapter 249

Victor, the head of the Stones, turned blue with anger when he thought of what happened the other day. He asked coldly, "I wonder whether Severin is still treating Larry's mother. Larry will have no use for him if his mother's illness has been cured. When that day comes, we'll just have our family's strongest bodyguards end Severin's life!"

After a pause, Victor continued, "He may be powerful, but I'm confident he won't be able to go up against a lot of people. I don't think he'll even survive if we get more than two hundred of our people to attack him at once!"

However, Jada smiled coldly. "There's no point, Dad. He's so powerful that we'd stand to lose many of our bodyguards even if they eventually manage to kill him. There's no need for that. After thinking about it, she said again, "Besides, didn't you always teach me we should always use money to solve problems that can be solved with money? Edward and I have already hired an assassin. We can just sit back and relax because his days are now numbered!"

Victor was overjoyed to hear what his daughter said and nodded approvingly. "That's my girl! If it wasn't for him, the Shanahans probably wouldn't have the chance to be at this place today!"

Before long, Catherine came along with her family. Behind her was Stanley, whose petulant expression was rather obvious.

Since Severin had secured such a huge advantage for the

Shanahans, Stanley could no longer maintain his status within the family. With his grandmother beginning to pay more attention to Diane and going so far as to accept Severin, Stanley could not have been less unhappy.

"Dad, the Shanahans are here! But Stanley doesn't look very happy though!" Jada could not help but frown when she saw Stanley's expression and voiced out her puzzlement.

Victor then said, "The Shanahans as a whole ought to be happy, but things could not have gotten any worse for Stanley personally. Just yesterday the old lady showed off the Shanahans' gold-font invitation letter in front of everyone after Severin helped to secure a place in the project, and for that reason, Diane was made the general manager of

Shanahan Corporation. Do you think Stanley will feel happy after what happened?"

"I see!" Jada's brows furrowed slightly after hearing that and she had a pensive look on her face.

"Grandma, you're here! You look so much more energetic today than ever before!" Diane immediately went to greet Catherine as soon as the latter approached.

The old lady was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Really? I

guess it's probably because of the outfit I'm donning today.

It's specially made for today's ceremony, and I got someone to prepare it for me in advance!"

"No, it's not the outfit. It's you as a whole. You look more energetic! Perhaps happy occasions do make a person better!" Severin came over and praised the old lady too.

"Is that so? My grandson-in-law sure is getting better and better at flattery!" The old lady was even happier to hear

Severin's remark.

On the other hand, Stanley, who was standing behind her, nearly fainted from anger. In the past, he often said sweet words to his grandmother to try and please her and earn her favor. He never expected Severin to flatter the old lady that much too, and he was so angry that he wanted to strangle

Severin to death.

However, Severin merely glanced at Stanley and shook his head with a sigh.
