Life After Prison

Judith got scared by what Severin said and felt embarrassed. ‘What’s wrong with Severin? Why can’t he just tolerate it? He shouldn’t bluff and talk nonsense just because he is angry at what they said!‘

Both Maurice and her were embarrassed about what Severin said.

“Dad, mom! Stay out of this. I’m a man of my word! Severin insisted. “Otherwise, how are they going to know Diane had made the right choice?”

“Hey kid, you really like to bluff, do you? Fine. Show it to me! I’m going to give you a month’s time. Let’s see if you really have the money. If you failed to do it, you need to promise me to get a divorce with my daughter and let her marry Edward! Do you dare to bet on it?” The anger had gotten into Felicia’s head.

She glared at Severin angrily. “Since you want to act, I’m going to expose you!”

“Fine! A month! But what if I fulfilled the dowry and threw Diane a wedding? What are you going to do?” Severin did not back down and glared back at Felicia.

Felicia scoffed. “If you really did it, then I will admit that you are my son–in–law, accept that my daughter has married you and you are not a live–in son–in–law!”

However, things did not go the way they expected. Severin said, “No, no, no! I mean it’s too good for all of you if you just accept the fact that Diane is married to me and accept me as your son–in- law if you lose. That’s not enough!”

“What else do you want?” Felicia’s face became sullen. She had never seen a son–in–law talking to his mother–in–law like that.

Severin smiled. “You need to apologize to me. Admit that you were wrong and admit that your son- in– law is a talented man!”

“Fine! If you can do it, we will apologize!” Felicia agreed. “But you have to fulfill the things you said. Seven million dollars of dowry and a grand wedding. A wedding that would not bring disgrace and humiliation to our family. Got it?”

“Deal!” Severing smiled confidently. “One month, right? I will give you the dowry within a month. As for the wedding, I need to pick a date!”

“Haha! Just continue with your bluffing!” Felicia laughed out loud and thought Severin did not
