Life After Prison by Silencieux

Chapter 217

"Why do you have that expression on your face, Dad? You're acting like some sort of hermit!" Pierre felt ashamed when he saw his father react that way, so he stepped forward and reminded the man softly.

"Gaston, is this VIP room that scary? Look at yourself! You're supposed to be a big boss!" Clement also came over and reminded Gaston to be calm.

"You don't know jack. I've heard of this private room before. The minimum spend to reserve this room is a hundred and fifty thousand!" Gaston trembled in fright, and then turned to Severin, "You didn't make a mistake, did you?"

"A minimum spend of a-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars!" At that moment, both Clement and Pierre were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

That was far too much money! Severin looked at their shocked looks and smiled slightly as he said, "It's correct. I've already ordered a hundred and seventy thousand worth of food and drinks. Relax, everyone I want this to be an occasion of enjoyment, since I haven't seen all of you in so many years!" After saying that, Severin deliberately looked at Queenie's family and said, "I'm especially grateful to Aunt Marie's family for helping my parents out when I couldn't take care of them!"

"Haha, you're being too kind. We're all relatives, so it's only right that we help each other out. We all have our own difficulties anyway? Helping one another is the way to go!" Simon instantly felt a radiance on his face and even had a touch of smugness in his smile. When their family lent money to Severin's parents, the other relatives called them stupid because they would likely not get the money back again after lending it out.

However, it was clear that Severin had shown his utmost gratitude to them, and their family has benefited a lot in return. Gaston, Clement, and the others had an extremely gloomy expression on their face. "I'm so sorry I'm late!" To everyone's surprise, Severin's maternal uncle had arrived with his family.

"Uncle Vincent?" Severin had mixed emotions when he saw who had come.

They did not invite Judith's brother, Vincent Liebling, because he did not like how poor Maurice was and refused to let Judith marry Maurice. However, Judith eventually married Maurice, and the two of them had not seen each other for a long time since then.

It came as a surprise then, that he had taken the initiative to attend the gathering

"Long time no see, Severin. You are more handsome than ever!"

Vincent immediately said with a smile. "I saw Marie's post on social media that you were going to treat the family to a meal and show us your new house. Her post said that the meal will be held in the Bloomington Hotel, so I brought my family with me too." As he said that, he pretended to show a bit of displeasure at Judith and said, "I'm still your brother, right, Judith? Why didn't you tell me about this gathering, or that Severin's been released and you've moved to a new house? After all that's said and done, we're still siblings, aren't we?"

Judith smiled awkwardly "Sorry about that, Vincent I've been really busy recently, and 1 jast happened to forget I was worried you wouldn't have the time either! But you're here now, so go on in! The food's been ordered too!"
