“Yes, we were all shocked at the time!” Catherine said in a somewhat traumatized manner. “Since we’re going to be much more well-off financially in the future, we should hire some more bodyguards for our family. We can’t compromise on our safety just to save some extra money!”
Stanley agreed. “Well, if this trend continued, then we might become a second-tier family in less than two years! Once that happens, we’d need a few more elite fighters to take charge. As it stands, there aren’t any such people in our family at all!”
“Severin’s extraordinary skills came in really handy today. We’d be in big trouble if not for that!” The old lady then raised her glass and said, “Let’s have a toast, everyone! Regardless of what happens, the Shanahans will have a bright future ahead!”
“Cheers!” Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.
Selene raised her fruit glass too and yelled ‘cheers’ like an adult too.
“Oh, you!” Severin could not help but look at his daughter and kiss her chubby cheeks.
However, she looked at him in disgust. “It’s time for you to shave, Dad! You have stubble now!”
“Haha, okay, okay. I’ll shave when we go home!” Severin became even happier when he saw her huff and puff at him. She was growing cuter by the day!
After everyone drank their toast and sat down, Catherine then said to Severin again, “Since you have nothing to do anyway, you should try to
find the chance to get to know Brookbourn Mansion’s Sheila better. It’d be great if you could become good friends with her, or better yet, marry her! You’ll have our unanimous approval!” The old lady then
paused for a moment and added, “And let’s not forget Robin too. Do visit them and check on her grandmother when you have the time. I think her grandmother suffers from migraines or something like that. Even though these diseases are really easy to treat at a hospital, the reason I’m asking you to help out is because I want you to build a good relationship with her. I’m sure she sought you out because she values your skills. You should go there whenever you have the time! It’d be even better if you could go there tomorrow!”
“Understood, Grandma! I’ll make friends with them!” Severin did not like buttering up to the rich and powerful because he was far richer than any of them, but he was forced to listen to the old lady’s words and could therefore only smile awkwardly in agreement.
“You’re going there tomorrow, then? How about I tag along?” Stanley immediately began to speak in a friendlier manner toward Severin.
Severin frowned and had a slightly weird expression. “You’re coming with me? What for?” As soon as Severin asked that, Robin’s attractive yet aloof appearance came to mind and he immediately understood that Stanley’s main purpose was to ogle at Robin. He wanted to use Severin to get to know Robin, and it was obvious that he wanted to try and win her heart.
Severin found it amusing when he thought of that. ‘Is he now trying to become some rich woman’s boytoy after knowing that he had no chance of becoming the general manager anymore?”
“Well, umm…if I go, I could always help carry your medical box or something like that, right? Surely, I can become a helper of sorts?” Stanley smiled and came up with the first excuse he could think of.
