Chapter 130
Severin shook his head. "If she wants to return to the company, she must become general manager. Being just a manager will give Stanley the authority to sabotage her, ultimately aiming for her dismissal."
Felicia nodded. "You're right. He's a sinister man!" She frowned. "But Grandma probably won't agree."
Severin chuckled. "She'll have to agree if she has no choice. Don't worry. Leave it to me."
Megan snickered. "Easy for you to say. Stanley's no fool. Grandma said she'll give him a week. If he doesn't secure the quota, she'll turn to you. That means she values Stanley more; you're a last resort. Besides, Mr. Henry owes you no more favors after the villa. The Liberty City quota is incredibly valuable—millions per project, and represents significant future development. Do you understand? I doubt Mr. Henry will even consider you."
Felicia felt Severin's chances were slim, but said, "We have to try. If Stanley fails, letting Severin attempt it is better than nothing. Maybe Mr. Henry will like Severin."
Megan, unconvinced, chuckled. "Are we really pinning our hopes on a lost cause?"
Severin said awkwardly, remembering his previous offense, "By the way, since you're here, have lunch before you leave. I feel bad about you leaving without eating last time."
Felicia laughed. "Hehe, okay. You haven't treated us to a meal yet!" Since Severin had recovered the bank account, she felt hopeful about the seven and a half thousand. Edward's family was wealthy, but he lacked character and always acted superior. Also, Selene, Diane's daughter, was four years old. If Severin could provide the dowry, she considered him a good match.
Megan smiled slyly. "You have a daughter with my sister, so if you provide the dowry, you'll be my brother-in-law. This is your first time treating us, so you're not cooking at home, right?"
Judith chimed in, "We're eating out! Megan's right. It's your first time treating your in-laws, so eating out is a must!"
