Life After Prison

“Okay, okay. Let’s not talk about that anymore. We’ll just take half this money then. You two can take the other half!” Judith finally said after giving it some more thought.

“That’ll work too. We still owe Aunt Marie’s family money, don’t we? I’ll just use our half to pay back the debt!” Severin nodded.

He then said to his parents, “It’s getting late now, so why don’t we just move to our new place right away? It’s not like there’s a lot of stuff to pack up.”

“What do you mean there’s not a lot of stuff to pack up? I’d still like to bring a few more clothes!” Judith hurried in.

“Is the place you’re renting far from here? If it’s not, you guys can drive and I’ll go there on my bike! “Maurice seemed to think that Severin had rented a better place because he did not want his family to live in an old and dilapidated house.

Severin was speechless for a moment. “Just leave the bike here, Dad. I have money, so you don’t need to feel like you have to be frugal in the future. You’re both at an age where you should enjoy life!”

“Haha, all right, all right. We’ll enjoy ourselves in the future!” Maurice smiled contentedly. From the looks of it, his son had matured and showed much more promise in life.

The old couple packed up some clothes and then put them with their valuables in the trunk.

“Diane, this is a jade bracelet handed down through generations within our family. You’re with Severin now, but there’s nothing we can give to you. I hope you won’t dislike this little gift too much. It might not be very valuable, but it’s the least we can do for you!”

Judith took out a bracelet from a box and handed it to Diane. Diane smiled and put it on. “Thank you. It’s really beautiful! I like it a lot!”

“I’m glad you do!” Judith laughed.

Seeing as Diane was getting along very well with his parents and did not seem averse to their poor family, Severin became even more determined to ensure that Diane never suffered again in the future. It did not take long for Severin to drive them to a villa area. Their place was a straight drive up the top of the mountain. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Did you go the wrong way, Severin? This area is for rich people!” Judith and Maurice were sitting at the back of the car, and they were terrified when they saw Severin preparing to drive up the mountain.

“I heard that the villas here cost several million! Do people even put these places up for rent?” Maurice gulped and wondered if he was dreaming.

“Relax, you two!” Severin smiled and got ready to drive up.

Before he could reach the top, however, there was a security checkpoint and a gate that stopped them from proceeding further.

“Sir, I’m sorry, but did you drive the wrong way? You’re reaching Dragon Lake Vista soon if you

keep driving up. Outsiders are strictly forbidden from entering!”

Of the three security guards that were chatting idly at the guardhouse, one of them walked over and asked politely after seeing Severin’s Chevrolet.

“I’m a homeowner here. Please open the gates for me. The security check doesn’t recognize my car because I just bought it today and haven’t registered it with the management yet!” Severin explained to the security guard with a smile.

“You’re a homeowner?” The security guard’s expression turned weird all of a sudden and he smiled mockingly, “Are you sure you’re a homeowner here? It would’ve been more believable if your said that you were just visiting a relative. Are you really telling me that you own one of the villas here? Why would someone who has the financial means to own this place choose to drive at Chevy?”

Severin’s face turned sour. “Is there some kind of rule preventing homeowners from driving a Chevy? Do you look down on Chevys?”
