Life After Prison by Silencieux

Chapter 200

All of a sudden, a bodyguard ran in and said to Gideon, "Sir, some guy named Severin Feuillet wishes to see Miss Charmaine and Mister Henry!"

"Hehe, speak of the devil!" Henry chuckled. He then said to the bodyguard, "Let him in!"

"Understood!" The bodyguard ran out again and led Severin in after a moment.

"Mister Severin! To what do I owe the pleasure?" Henry immediately greeted Severin politely when the latter entered. "Have a seat, Mister Severin. This is my son Gideon, by the way!"

Severin looked at the dignified middle-aged man in front of him and cupped his hands in a gesture of greeting. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, sir!"

"Hehe, you may spare the pleasantries. A lot of things have been going on in our family, and thanks to you, my father's life was saved. I didn't get the chance to convey my appreciation to you, but my plans to visit you were delayed time and time again by our family's affairs..." Gideon said with a smile and sat down on one side. "Sigh, the opening ceremony of the Liberty City project is upon us, and the announcement of those merchants who have been given the opportunity to participate will be made soon. I simply have been too busy recently!"

"You're too kind. Saving your father's life was a piece of cake, and he's been super kind to me too. You could consider us friends!" Severin smiled slightly, and said in a manner that was neither too humble or overbearing. "I hope you don't mind me being frank with you, but I'm here precisely for the quota in the Liberty City project. I can't help it, since my wife is from the Shanahans."

"The Shanahans?" At that moment, Charmaine chimed in. "I'm sorry, Mister Severin. Stanley had approached me before, but I rejected him because I was under the impression that you had a bad relationship with them because the Shanahans disowned Diane in the past and merely stood by and watched when you caused trouble at the Easton's wedding in the past!"

She paused before continuing, "I didn't know that you'd have such a good relationship with the Shanahans, to the point where you'd actually help them secure a spot in our project!"

Severin smiled. "To be honest, Miss Charmaine, you were right to reject Stanley. He's not a good person, and he's the reason that the Shanahans have been slipping down for the past few years and lacked a competitive edge." After a pause, he continued, "And to top it off, it's a good thing that you rejected him, but the Shanahans welcomed Diane back home and reinstated her as the general manager of the Shanahan Corporation in the hopes of having me curry favor with your family. They even accepted my relationship with Diane now!"

After hearing that, Charmaine covered her mouth and laughed. "Guess I did the right thing and somehow managed to help you unintentionally!"

Gideon understood Severin's reason for coming there and said directly, "You wish to secure a spot in the project for the Shanahans, yes? My doubt over their abilities have been allayed now that Diane is in charge of the Shanahan Corporation. How about I offer you two spots for the Shanahans?"

"Two?" Severin was overjoyed when he heard that, "How could I possibly accept that? One spot is more than enough, especially since I've heard that it's very precious! I think you should reserve the second spot for a more suitable family!"

Gideon chuckled. "Haha, Mister Severin, you don't need to be that polite. We just hope that you'll come to our aid if our family ever needs your help in the future!”
