Chapter 132

With that thought, Felicia's face clouded. "Severin, shouldn't you explain why you bought such a cheap car?"

Severin knew Felicia's fear, but it didn't bother him. He smiled. "I wanted a more expensive car—an Audi, BMW, Ferrari, or Porsche—but Diane said it wasn't necessary. She just wanted a normal car. I listen to my wife; I'll buy whatever she wants. Besides, this car is good; it fits us all."

Diane's expression was odd. No one would refuse a better car. She didn't know Severin's bank balance then; if she had, she might have asked for a nicer car, too.

At the time, she thought Severin was motivated by money when he risked everything to ruin Lucy and Easton's wedding. She presumed he was poor and desperate.

Looking back, she was wrong. Severin was rich, but he fought to get the money back because it belonged to Judith and Maurice, who had worked hard for it.

"Diane, did you ask him to buy this car?" Felicia and Megan focused on Diane.

Diane smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Yes. I wanted a car for convenience. After all, he'd just been released from jail. A less showy car was better."

"Diane, are you helping him fool us? Just say he couldn't afford an expensive car. If he has the money, an Audi A6 is nothing. You can keep a low profile, but not this low," Megan retorted.

Megan couldn't tolerate it anymore. She thought Severin was deceiving them, and her sister was covering for him because of Selene.

"Megan, I'm not lying! Severin is rich!" Diane said, a bitter smile on her face. She understood the frustration of not being believed, even when telling the truth.

"Really? Then ask him to buy us a car! That's not too much to ask, right?" Megan rolled her eyes.

"Yes!" Felicia's eyes lit up. She stepped forward and smiled at Severin. "My wonderful son-in-law, since you're giving us the dowry, buying William and me a car isn't a problem. We don't even own a car! It's inconvenient, especially with William commuting to work."

Severin was speechless. Felicia's request felt snobbish. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findnøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Despite the pretense, Severin was happy to be called that. He considered his vast wealth. He said, "Felicia, you're right. It's just a car. Pick one—anything under $150,000."

"Brother-in-law! What about me? Dad needs a car, and I will too, eventually," Megan said, her tone suddenly sweet now that she knew Severin's budget.

"What did you call me? Brother-in-law?" Severin was stunned, then chuckled. "Didn't you refuse to call me that because you thought I was poor?"

"If you buy me a luxury car, I'll call you brother-in-law. But don't try to fool us! We expect the full dowry!" Megan declared.
