When Easton heard that, he panicked and hurriedly explained, “Jada, I swear to you, I’ve never tricked you or told you a lie before! My wife can bear witness too!”
Lucy was just as afraid of offending the Stones, so she raised one hand and swore, “That’s right! He’s a nobody, and I know him very well. Their family didn’t have much money in the past, and I chose to be with Easton because I hated how poor Severin was. And he only got out of prison a few days ago!”
When Jada saw that the two of them seemed to be telling the truth, she nodded and said, “Alright. I believe you. If that’s the case, then he only knew Henry and Larry within a couple of days. I don’t believe their relationship would be Since we have just met for a short time, I’m guessing their friendship doesn’t run too deep!”
Victor shook his head. “That might not necessarily be the case. Look at how Larry treated him earlier. If we target Severin again, I don’t think Draco Hall will just let it slide!”
Jada thought for a moment and smiled coldly as she said, “We might be afraid of Draco Hall, but there are certain second–tier families who don’t fear them!”
Victor’s heart skipped a beat and he immediately asked, “Do you mean the Horsfields? And more specifically, Edward Horsfield?”
Jada nodded with a wicked smile. “Easton once told me that Edward offered one and a half
million dollars to the Shanahans as dowry for Diane. There’s only one explanation for his willingness to give such a large sum–Diane still holds an important place in his heart. If we want revenge, our only option is to pit Edward against Severin!”
Her suggestion made Easton’s eyes light up. “You’re right! Why didn’t I think of that? Not even Draco Hall would dare to offend the Horsfields, and if Edward can help us kill Severin, wouldn’t that be considered revenge already? novelbin
Victor pondered over the suggestion and gave his opinion. “That’s one way to do it, but Edward is an incredibly arrogant character, and he does things very recklessly too. Since he’s not a good person, it would serve you well to be more careful if you decide to get in touch with him.”
“Don’t worry, Dad! Just leave this matter to me! The Liberty City project is looking for investors soon, right? You should focus on that!” Jada smiled with confidence.
“Sure. I’ll leave this matter aside for the time being and trust in your ability!” Victor could see that his daughter was becoming more and more sensible, and he finally felt less worried about her. However, he thought over the suggestion again and left one final word of advice for them, “By the way, you need to let Edward figure out what to do by giving him hints, rather than taking an active. role in this issue. He’ll likely be unhappy if he feels that he’s being used by us.”
“Relax, Dad,” Jada assured. “I’ve got this!”
Beside them, Lucy frowned in deep thought before finally saying, “We need to make sure that our plan isn’t discovered by Draco Hall. They might be afraid of the Horsfields, but they sure aren’t afraid of us!”
“Indeed!” Victor glanced approvingly at Lucy. “That’s a very insightful observation!”
At that moment, Judith had just finished her meal at the villa and was feeling a little worried. “Why isn’t Severin back yet?”
Diane immediately came forward to comfort her. “Don’t worry, Mom. He went to treat a patient. Larry wouldn’t have been that polite to him if not for that!”
Judith expressed her concerns. “We can’t say for sure, though. I’m worried that his medical skills might not be good enough, and he ends up not being able to cure Larry’s mother. What if the treatment fails and her illness acts up even more? Worse still, what if she dies from his treatment? Severin will be in trouble if Larry gets angry!”
Diane began to feel worried too when she heard Judith’s concerns, but she still smiled and said, “I believe in Severin. He’ll be back soon enough!”
At that moment, a car drove into the yard and stopped outside. Severin, Larry, and Blade had finally returned.
“Severin! You’re back! How did it go? Is his mother cured now?” Judith ran over to Severin and held his hand as soon as she saw him return.
Before Severin could answer, Larry spoke ahead of him. “Not to worry, ma’am, it’s all cured. Mister Severin truly is a miracle doctor. My mother’s illness will be gone in no time with the help of some more medications. It’s all thanks to Mister Severin!”
