Life After Prison by Silencieux

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 to lament that Diane's lack 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 accept this. man if he was a least the son of an ordinary businessman, but I am thoroughly and utterly unable to accept a man like him! Worse still, he's an ex-convict!"

After saying what she wanted to say, the old lady 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 occurred 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 place 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 the company. After that, he made a point to tell those within his business circle to avoid accepting 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 blamed 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 place 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 Shanahans come, but their attitude toward the entire

situation turned his fear into delight.

All of a sudden, someone yelled, "What's happening here?"
