Chapter 21


    Chapter 21


    Catherine was manifestly unhappy when she heard what Diane said. “Diane, are you sure you want to


    be with him? How is someone like him worthy of a woman like you?”


    “There’s no point trying to persuade me, Grandma. I’ve already made my decision!” Diane #emained


    steadfast.


    “Why do you have to be so stubborn?” William finally could not resist voicing his opinion, and his tone


    seemed toment that Diane’sck of desire to seek a better change.


    The corners of Catherine’s lips trembled slightly and she gritted her teeth. “I see. Since you’ve already


    made up your mind, I won’t bother any longer. I would’ve been able to try and ept this. man if he


    was at least the son of an ordinary businessman, but I am thoroughly and utterly unable to ept a


    man like him! Worse still, he’s an ex-convict!”


    After saying what she wanted to say, the olddy said to Trevor, “Mister Trevor, Diane is still a


    Shanahan, so the least your people can do is refrain from hurting her. That man, on the other hand, is


    an outsider. Whether he lives or dies is none of our business. Since he hurt your son, you’re free to


    decide how you wish to deal with him!”


    “Grandma…”


    Diane got anxious when she heard that. It scarcely urred to her that none of the Shanahans would


    speak up for Severin after showing up there. She hedged her bet on the hopes that her family could tell


    the Loughs to let her and Severin leave the ce safely, but the Shanahans’ attitude toward them both


    left her incredibly disappointed.


    George, the current head of the Shanahans, curled his lips into a smirk when he heard his mother’s


    words, seemingly to revel in the schadenfreude.

    “Oh Diane…the word ‘bimbo’ might just be the most apt description for you!” George’s son, Stanley,


    crossed his arms and said with a derisive look.


    Diane shot Stanley a vicious look, and her heart was already boiling with rage. Ever since she was


    kicked out of the Shanahans, Stanley-who was always eyeing to inherit the Shanahans’ property-


    immediately took control of thepany. After that, he made a point to tell those within his business


    circle to avoid epting Diane in as an employee.


    It was the reason why Diane encountered all sorts of obstacles when she went for interviews after


    being kicked out by the Shanahans. As a result, she could only make a living by delivering food.


    Her life would have been much easier if Stanley did not go out of his way to stifle her.


    Severin sighed to himself when he saw how ruthless they were in treating Diane.


    It was evident from what he saw that Diane had suffered so much more than he initially imagined. Even


    her parents did not side with her, and everyone med her instead of standing by her.


    He walked up to Diane and smiled at her. “Don’t worry. I was the one who caused trouble here, so I


    should be the one to solve it. I can’t possibly ce the burden on a woman.”


    “Tch, are you seriously still trying to act tough at this sort of time? You think too highly of yourself,”


    Megan said in disdain.


    Stanley chimed in and remarked, “If you were capable of anything, you wouldn’t have been sent to


    prison then, would you? Do you think you can just magically conjure up some strength to go against all


    these bodyguards today?”


    Severin turned around and stared sharply at Stanley. “I don’t have to take the Loughs too seriously.


    “Haha! I’d like to see how long you can keep that stubbornness up.” Trevor was ecstatic! Dealing with


    Severin was a piece of cake since none of the Shanahans had interceded for him. He was honestly still


    a little scared before the Shanahanse, but their attitude toward the entire


    situation turned his fear into delight.


    All of a sudden, someone yelled, “What’s happening here?”
