Life After Prison by Silencieux
Chapter 165

Chapter 165

"Wait a second...you have a wife now? Didn't Uncle Maurice say that Aunt Judith and your wife were both worried about you?" As the three of them walked out of the bamboo forest, Queenie recalled something and could not help but ask Severin with a puzzled expression.

She clearly had no idea that Severin already had a wife. All she knew was the gossip that Severin had gone to the wedding of his ex-girlfriend Lucy to make a fuss only moments after being. released from prison. However, she did not know the full details of it. Her creditors had been pushing her a lot recently, so once she found out that Severin had been released, she called Judith and Maurice but was surprised when the call could not get through. Her first thought was that Severin had run off with his parents as soon as he was released because he did not want to pay back their family's money.

After all, many people were like that.

Severin smiled indifferently. "Well, I have a wife now, and lots of things happened when I least expected it. It's a long story, but I also have a daughter too!"

Queenie's heart skipped a beat. She was not surprised that Severin had gotten a wife that quickly because she assumed that he had married a divorcee who had a child from a previous marriage. Then again, she felt that Severin should count himself lucky because it was already good enough that a woman who had a child was willing to be someone who was just released from prison.

"That sounds nice. You got a wife and a daughter in one fell swoop, so I suppose your parents can now breathe a sigh of relief." Queenie nodded, looked at Maurice who was walking up ahead, and reminded Severin in a low voice, "By the way, you cannot tell your parents I'm working at a bar, or that the money I borrowed hasn't been paid yet. And it goes without saying that you cannot tell my parents either. I just told them that I borrowed money from some friends and I've already paid them back."

Severin nodded. "Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me."

"Okay. I hope you can help me pay the nine thousand to them tomorrow. At least I'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief after that." Queenie finally saw hope in Severin and even made a point to add, "By the way, the money you owe us was eight thousand, right? Let's round it off to ten thousand. The extra two thousand dollars is interest for all the suffering you put me through. Technically speaking, you're the reason I was dragged into the bamboo forest by those guys."

Severin did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. "They're obviously perverts. Even if you didn't owe them money, they would've dragged you in if they happened to run into you on the street. You're a beautiful woman, and I don't think any pervert could control themselves if they come across you."

"Pfft!" Queenie rolled her eyes at Severin and said, "You have a way with words now, don't you? You've even learned how to praise people on the sly.

"I'm telling the truth. You're getting more and more beautiful." Severin laughed.

Queenie took out her cell phone, and said, "I'll ask for a leave of absence tonight. That incident from earlier was traumatizing. I'll wait until you get the money tomorrow and pay them back. Chapter 165

before I quit my current job. Places like that don't suit me at all."

After seeing Maurice get into the car parked nearby, Queenie's mouth widened open and she wondered if she was seeing things. "No way, an Audi A8? Doesn't this car cost a lot of money?" "Two-hundred-and-sixty-thousand dollars!" Severin smiled, and finally said, "Come and stay with us tonight. I'll be going with you to meet those guys tomorrow, anyway, and we do lots of spare rooms you can

stay in."

"Okay!" Queenie nodded. Since Severin could afford such a car, he would probably have no problems forking out just under nine thousand dollars to help pay her debt.
