Life After Prison Novel by Silencieux

Chapter 12

“You can’t be serious? Henry is treating you to a meal?” Timothy and Quinn were completely dumbfounded.

“That’s absolutely impossible. Do you think he’s just any old man? Do you know who he is?” Timothy then explained, “He is at the helm of the Longhorns’, and the Longhorns are only one of three first-tier upper-cla*s families here in Brookbourn. One small move from them will send waves through Brookbourn, and decision they make will change Brookbourn’s future! Why would someone like that treat you to dinner?”

Severin thought over what Timothy said and asked him, “What about the Loughs? Are they on the same level as the Longhorns?”

Timothy immediately said, “Of course not! The Loughs aren’t even a third-tier upper-cla*s family, and at best, they’re just wealthy businesspeople. Their business has been growing very steadily in the past few years, and they might just become a third-tier upper-cla*s family soon. The Loughs’ have a net worth in excess of fifteen million, but they’re far behind that of the Longhorns! The latter has a*sets of more than a hundred and fifteen million, maybe even more!”

“Oh!” Severin remarked indifferently. “I guess the Longhorns are quite powerful! But I’m just going to have a meal with them though. I have no intention of currying favor with them!”

Timothy just could not believe what he heard. “Gimme a break and quit trying to be pretentious! Are you that oblivious to what kind of person he is? How could someone like you come in contact with him? And you’re saying that he’s treating you to a meal? As if anyone would believe that! You’re not even worthy of holding his shoes! Let’s be honest, even Easton won’t be able to curry favor to Henry, let alone someone like you!”

As they all chatted away in the car, it did not take long before they arrived at the Richemont Hotel’s entrance. The three of them got off the vehicle after Timothy pa*sed the car to the hotel valet.
