Life After Prison Novel by Silencieux

Chapter 43
“Screw you!” Severin fumed with rage. He could still tolerate it if other people badmouthed him, but the one thing he could never
accept was hearing someone call his daughter a b*stard child!
In a flash, he kicked Edward in the stomach and sent the latter tumbling to the ground.
“Ack!” Edward spat out a mouthful of blood. A shocked expression appeared on his face, as if bewildered at being kicked by a
loser like Edward.
“Why is it so hard for you to keep your composure, Severin?” Diane was horrified because she knew that Edward was the scion
of a second-tier upper-cla*s family. While there was no doubt that she was just as angry at Edward for the things he said,
Severin’s reaction would only make things worse!
“Honey, I can bear with many things, but hearing this son-of-a-b*tch calling Selene a b*stard isn’t one of them!” Severin said
angrily.
“Why are you guys just standing there? Beat him up!” Edward struggled to get up and ordered his bodyguards viciously.
“Mom, I’m scared!” Selene was frightened by the sudden development in the situation and hugged Diane’s thigh at once. Severin
started to regret his actions when he saw how scared his daughter was. Hitting people might feel good for him, but a frightening
experience was hardly ideal for his daughter.
At that moment, however, the four bodyguards had already begun to attack him. Their stance and the way they swung their fists
were a clear sign that they were trained individuals, and Severin had no choice but to fight back. He punched them several times
in quick succession, and the four bodyguards were all thrown to the ground before they could even land a blow on his body.
“Arghh!” The four bodyguards writhed on the ground and clutched their chests.
“Get up, you losers! I told you to bear him up!” Edward yelled as he retreated. Severin’s skills had scared him out of his wits.
“Sir, I...I feel like my ribs are broken!” One of the bodyguards finally stood up and said with a wince.
“Sir, mine are broken too!”
The other three bodyguards said the same thing too.

“F*ck this!” Edward was completely speechless. He did not expect that his four bodyguards-all of whom were martial artists-were
not even able to go up against one person.
“All right, kid. Just you wait. This doesn’t end here!” At last, Edward stormed out with his men and left the premises in
embarra*sment.
Diane seemed to be a little dumbstruck as she stood behind Severin. After all, she did not expect him to be that capable of
holding his own in a fight.
“Yay! Dad won! Isn’t that awesome, Mom?” The fear that Selene earlier had was instantly replaced with joy. She leaped for joy
and clapped her hands when Edward and his men left after getting beaten by Severin.
Severin came over, carried Selene tenderly, and kissed her chubby face. “Aren’t you scared, Selene?”
“I was scared that those meanies will beat you up, but you were so strong, Dad! Those bad guys are no match for you!” the little
girl said innocently.
Severin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that and said to Selene, “Great. Would you like to be as good as I am in the
future?”
“Yeah!” she answered without hesitation.
Severin smiled. “All right. When you get older, I’ll teach you how to punch, hone your inner energy, and turn you into a super-
powerful girl! Would you like that?”
“Yay! I can’t wait! I want to be just as strong as you next time!”
Selene’s happiness showed on her face.
On one side, Diane rolled her eyes at Severin. “Of all the things you could teach your daughter, did you really have to choose
fighting skills? And you make it sound so mysterious when you say ‘hone your inner energy. I think you just read too many
novels!”
“Haha!” Severin laughed in response to her remark. He looked at her from head to toe once more. This dress really does look
beautiful on you! You should try on a few others!”

Severin then turned to the fear-stricken Bree who was standing to one side. “Could you bring those dresses over here as well?
I’d like my wife to try them too!”
