    Chapter 256


    The emcee had a smile on her face as she announced thest


    two spots.


    “What?! Thest two were given to the Shanahans? They got two?!”


    Sure enough, the audience began to whisper among themselves.


    “What’s going on here? Wasn’t the Shanahan Corporation on a downward slope when Stanley was the


    general manager? Don’t you feel strange that Diane has secured two of the prearranged quotas after


    assuming the position of general manager for only a few days?” Someone then insinuated.


    Victor and Jada, who was in the vicinity, happened to hear that


    remark.

    Victor was stunned for a moment, and she felt that it was a good time to turn public opinion against


    Diane. With the thought of his humiliation the other day still fresh in his mind, he deliberately raised his


    voice. “You never know if she’s a good rider, if you know what I mean. Good-looking women are usually


    even more experienced! I think Diane must’ve used some underhanded ways to get what she wants.


    Maybe she has some sort of secret rtionship with the head of the Longhorns!”


    When he said that, some people immediately nced at the


    Shanahans with odd expressions. After all, no one took the Shanahans seriously before then,


    especially since their performance had worsened with Stanley as the general manager. It was


    reasonable to expect that the Shanahans would not be able to get even one such quota, and yet they


    managed to secure two quotas, and at good locations too.


    As a result, Victor’s remark led some of the more green-eyed people to wonder if Diane was having an


    affair with Gideon, the head of the Longhorns. Victor’s remark could be heard by many people because


    he spoke in a clear and loud voice. Diane’s lips twitched a few times as she took the stage, and she felt


    a little embarrassed as she stood there and held the


    two contracts up for the camera. s, she could only pretend as if she did not hear it as she walked off


    the stage with the contract once the photo-taking session was over. Catherine had a gloomy


    expression too, but she did not dare to stand up and say anything because more and more people


    were talking


    about it.


    On the other hand, Stanley was incredibly happy with how things developed. The Longhorn family had


    previously given Severin a lot of benefits, and no sane person would believe that he would continue to


    be given more and more benefits. Diane had been lucky to be reappointed as the general manager, but


    there would probably be no end to the rumors. surrounding her after she had been thrown into the


    spotlight.


    When Severin heard that remark, he stood up with a cold


    expression and walked straight toward Victor.


    “What’s your problem, kid?” Victor stood up, knowing that he had to maintain his confidence in front of


    all the people there because he was the head of the Stones. He was confident that Severin would not


    dare to do anything to him right then and there.


    Furthermore, as it was the grandunching of the Longhorn family’s Liberty City project, Severin would


    be showing tremendous disrespect if he were to cause a scene at the event.


    Severin looked at the other party coldly and asked, “What did you just say? My wife is a pure soul, and


    I won’t just stand by without doing anything if you keep badmouthing her behind our backs!”


    “Hehe, everyone heard what I said. You’re feeling guilty because it’s true, right? Punch me then if you


    have what it takes!” Victor chuckled smugly.


    The next second, Severin’s fistnded smack dab in Victor’s face. “You deserve to be punched!”
