Life After Prison

Chapter 228

Most important of all, Severin would gain the Shanahans’ approval and Diane could maintain her position as general manager of the Shanahan Corporation.

“Yes, this location is excellent, and it’ll bring great profits to the Shanahans in the future. However, the initial investment fees may be a bit high!” The old lady was overjoyed when she thought about how such a large area had been given to the Shanahans. Her sole worry was the equally huge investments that would have to be made in the early stages.

To everyone’s surprise, Severin smiled and said, “I didn’t think there’d be different outcomes if there were different colors for the letter’s font. I have another one here!” Severin produced the second letter after he spoke and the font on it was golden too.

“Another one? And they’re both typed in gold font? I’m not seeing things, am I? We were given two spots?!” The old lady’s eyes became radiant in an instant.

She would never have dreamed of getting such a quota! Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Impossible! Is this genuine? How could you get two?!” Stanley was shocked to the core, especially since Charmaine had ignored him when he went to look for her.

By contrast, Severin had secured two spots after meeting the Longhorns, and Stanley could not help but wonder if the quotas in Severin’s hands were a fake. He grabbed the invitation letter in Severin’s hand and looked at it carefully, saying, “It has to be fake. The location given in this quota is just as good and the area is very large too. Why would they give us two spots in a good position? I don’t think any of the second-tier families, or even the first-tier families for that matter, are given such treatment!”

The old lady’s smile froze as soon as Stanley said that, and she began to wonder if it could have been a fake that Severin was using just to fool them.

In response, Severin said with a faint smile, “I don’t know if it’s fake, but it was Miss Charmaine who handed it to me. Why don’t you ask her if it’s fake?”

When George heard that, he smiled. “Then it has to be the real deal! It can’t have been fake if Miss Charmaine handed it to you!”

The old lady looked at Severin and smiled with satisfaction. “You’ve done an excellent job, Severin!”

Severin smiled and said, “By the way, Mister Gideon has mentioned that they can give us a thirty percent discount on the registration fee for this second quota, so there’s really nothing for you to worry too much about!”

“Thirty percent off?!” The old lady’s eyes widened even more after she heard that and was dumbstruck by what she heard.

“That’s even better!” The old lady smiled. After thinking for a moment, she said to Stanley,” Make a reservation for a VIP room in one of those big hotels’ restaurants. We must celebrate today! With these two spots, our future would be secure, and at the very least, we won’t regress and become merely an ordinary wealthy business family. I believe that we might even stand a chance to become a second-tier family in a few years’ time!”

“Okay. I’m going to make that reservation now!” Stanley felt very upset because his initial

plan to bring the old lady there was to make a fool out of Severin and Diane. Unfortunately, the tables were turned as Severin ended up being praised as a great hero of the Shanahans while he was resigned to becoming an errand runner.

As Stanley drove the car out of the entrance of Dragon Lake Vista, he gritted his teeth and had a burning look of anger in his eyes.
