LIFE AFTER PRISON - Season 5 Episode 48

“Yes, Diane. He did. It’s really happening! He has accepted a lot of invitations, and we stand a chance of hosting him if he decides to visit several families!” Megan remarked excitedly from one side before Severin could reply.

“That’s…that’s amazing! I didn’t expect him to accept our invitation! Simply having our invitation accepted is a good thing in itself!” Diane jumped up excitedly, for it was the first time she came into contact with a big shot like Valerian. After all, there were more than at hundred cities in the south county alone, and Brookbourn was merely one of the smaller ones. A hero like Valerian commanded the courtesy of not just the entire Brookbourn, but perhaps even the south county’s highest authority.

Severin merely smiled at the development, because in view, everything happened well within his expectations. Warren came to see him in secret, and knowing that he was Warren’s master, Valerian probably used sending Keagan and Linette over as an excuse to come and see him too. Had Severin not been around, Valerian would not have come at all, and his apprentice Warren might not have followed sneakily either.

“Damn it! Mister Valerian accepted the Shanahans’ invitation but didn’t accept ours!” Jada stomped her feet angrily after watching Valerian leave with the Ballards.

Quintus then remarked, “Do you think maybe Mister Valerian accepted Diane’s invitation because he thinks that she’s pretty? He accepted Robin and Charmaine’s invitation too. Guess he can’t help himself from wanting to dote on beautiful women when he sees one!”

His off-handed remark made Jada’s face turn gloomy. “Are you trying to say that I’m not pretty anymore? Didn’t you just say that I am prettier than them?”

“You are! You’re prettier than them!” Quintus finally realized that he had misspoken. Jada was good- looking, but she was somewhat inferior compared to the other women and lacked a bit of charm in her temperament. Her beauty notwithstanding, she was lacking somewhat in her bosom and had a foul temper too. Had he not fallen in love with her in the past, and had it not been for the good relationship between his family and hers, he would have long dumped her for someone else.

“But you just said that Mister Valerian accepted their invitations because they were pretty. Since you said I’m pretty too, then why didn’t he take my invitation?” Jada asked angrily.

Quintus hooked his arms around her waist and coaxed her immediately. “Take it easy, baby. girl. Maybe Mister Valerian didn’t notice you because you were a little far back earlier. I’m sure he would’ve accepted your invitation if he saw you. You’re a girl, so you shouldn’t blame yourself for not being able to squeeze through the crowd to the front row earlier!”

“Hmph. That’s more like it!” Jada snorted coldly, and then asked again, “Shall we go to the Ballards to congratulate them later? Judging from how things went, I believe a lot of wealthy businessmen and upper-class families will go there and have a meal with them later. They might even give some congratulatory gifts!”

Quintus immediately said, “Of course, we’re going! If your run-of-the-mill wealthy businessmen are in attendance, it would be disrespectful toward Mister Zachariah if your family doesn’t go! They’ll be unhappy if you’re not in attendance!”

Jada was still upset when she thought of how Valerian had taken the invitation card from the

Fine then. Let’s go back and get my dad up to speed about the situation. We’ll prepare some gifts and then rush there to have lunch with them!”

“Sounds like a plan.” Quintus nodded. When he left, he glanced at the other end from a

distance and gulped when he saw Diane’s beautiful face and enthralling figure. ‘I’ll get you sooner or later! Just wait!’ he thought to himself.
