Life After Prison by Silencieux
Chapter 316

Chapter 316

"Good for you, I guess? Whatever connections that the Shanahans have built with other families are of no concern to us!" Robert said. "But those who want to leave our bar without paying the bill can keep dreaming!"

After a while, Catherine arrived along with Stanley's parents-George and Cherise, as well as Diane and her family-comprising of her parents, William and Felicia, as well as her sister, Megan. Naturally, more than a dozen of the Shanahans' bodyguards followed suit too.

"Mom! Dad! You're finally here! I wasn't allowed to leave before I don't have any money on me to pay the bill!" Stanley immediately put on a pitiful act and cried out to Cherise and George when he saw them coming.

Cherise felt incredibly heartbroken to see her son like that, so she immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, Stanley. I'm here. We're an upper-class family, and a few bottles of wine won't be a problem for us. What exactly happened though? While we were on the way here, your grandma explained that Severin landed you in this mess. Is that true?"

Stanley nodded. "Of course, it is! Severin was rewarded with a hundred and fifty million after treating Madam Jodie from the Zelankos, so he said he'd treat me to a drink. I accepted his offer, but after we'd ordered all this wine, he decided to sneak away with another woman without bothering to pay the bill! I'm guessing he got a room with that woman, which is why he didn't answer the phone!"

"One-hundred-and-fifty million?" Cherise was surprised. Following her brief surprise, she clenched her fists angrily and said, "Why didn't that b*stard pay for the food and drink after agreeing to treat you? Besides, paying this bill isn't that big of a problem for him he got that much money. Why would he leave without paying?"

"One-hundred-and-fifty million? Are you sure you got that number right, Stanley?" Rather than getting angry upon hearing that Severin had gotten a room with another woman, Felicia's eyes lit up and she was shocked to hear all that money.

'If my son-in-law earned a hundred and fifty million, he could give me some more money without batting an eye? At the very least, he was able to pay the seven and a half million dowry!'

"That's not the point, Mom. Didn't you hear that Severin got a room with another woman? Don't you think Diane will feel hurt?" Megan was furious. Though she loved money too, she felt sorry for her sister more than anything. After all, Diane had waited many years for Severin and suffered terribly as a result. It was hard for her not to get angry, considering how Severin had gotten involved with some wretched woman after being released from prison not too long ago. Even if he wanted to cheat on Diane, he should at least look for someone like Robin or Sheila, rather than some random gold-digger from the street. That was when Felicia realized the main issue. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Despicable! Utterly despicable! We should've known that a man like him would easily be tempted by vice after getting rich. As if philandering around wasn't bad enough, he went so far as to leave Stanley behind without paying for the treat! This is unacceptable! If word gets out, the Shanahans will have to face shame again!" Catherine glared at Felicia. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that everything will be

fine as long as we make sure that no one else knows?"

Felicia smiled awkwardly and could not help but remark, "Doesn't Stanley enjoy coming to this sort of place too? For all we know, it could've been Severin's first time here! Why are we chastising Severin instead of Stanley?"

William was the only one who had a gloomy face. He thought for a while and said, "I don't think Severin would do that. Haven't we all noticed that he's not that sort of person? Severin character is very different from Stanley's, and it's almost certain that he won't sleeping with other women, nor would he visit bars just to hit up on indecent girls!"
