Life After Prison Novel by Silencieux

Chapter 215

“Sigh, let’s just save our breath. We’ll find out soon enough!” Gaston smiled faintly, looked at his watch again, and could not help but remark, “I postponed an important meeting just to come here. They won’t hear the end of it from me if they order the cheapest food for us!”

“Yeah!” Pierre echoed.

At this time, Severin’s other paternal uncle, Clement Feuillet, had arrived too. When he saw that Gaston had already arrived, Clement immediately stepped forward and said, “Wow, look who the cat dragged in! You’re here too, big shot! We don’t get to see you very often!”

Gaston could not help but smile triumphantly when he heard his third brother calling him ‘big shot’. He pretended to be modest and said, “Please, I’m not some big shot. I’m just barely eking out a living.”

“Haha, you’re being too modest, Gaston. I heard that you just bought a large apartment in the city center that costs several hundred thousand, right? I am so jealous of you. People like us might not be able to earn that much money in our entire lives!” Clement said with a flattering smile.

Gaston had been looking for an opportunity to flaunt his successes, and he was happy when Clement brought it up. “It’s just about four-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars, but there’s still a lot of renovation that needs to be done, and it would probably cost another hundred and fifty thousand before we can move in.”

At that moment, Marie, Queenie, and Simon had just arrived and they happened to hear the conversation just as they were walking.

Marie’s expression darkened immediately. “That sounds like a lot of money. Didn’t you say you had none when your brother Maurice and his family asked to borrow a few hundred while they were in dire straits?”

Gaston’s mouth twitched a few times and his smile stiffened considerably.

He immediately sneered. “Hehe, there’s no law compelling me to borrow money from someone who doesn’t have any, right? Besides, it’s not that I didn’t want to borrow the money from them, but my company was having a downturn. They simply came at the wrong time!’

Marie felt even more upset for her sister Judith and could not help but say, “Really? I remember them asking to borrow money from you more than once. Did they always come at the wrong time for such a big boss like yourself? Will that few hundred dollars even affect your company’s daily operations?”
