Life After Prison by Silencieux

Chapter 24

Trevor then asked, "Are you sure your men can put a fight against my men when your side has barely half the number of our bodyguards?"

At that moment, however, one could see through the window that a middle-aged man was leading a group of men to surround the hotel. A number of those people barged in directly, and the total number of individuals that had arrived was probably at least several hundred.

"We're done for. The guys from Draco Hall are here!" Denzel's expression sank when he saw the situation outside.

"W-w-what are we supposed to do?" Diane was extremely anxious.

"Come here, Diane. Are you sure you want to die along with a poor nobody like Severin? Don't you care about your daughter at all?" Felicia squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Diane's arm, and dragged her to where the Shanahans were standing.

William, who had also turned pale with fright, hurried over and took Diane's other arm in an attempt to help his wife pull Diane away from Severin.

"Think about Selene. How would she react if she loses her mother?" Megan immediately tried persuading her elder sister.

"But..." Diane's eyes turned red and she said anxiously, "But...but I can't let Selene lose her father! She's been dreaming of meeting him, and now he's finally back! What am I going to tell her if he dies before even seeing her?"

Her statement drew the ire of Felicia. "Are you stupid, Diane? Do you remember Edward Horsfield? He's still in love with you, you know. If worse comes to worse, you can just marry Edward and tell Selene that he's her father! It's not as if Selene saw her father before."

Megan anxiously tried to convince Diane too. "Yes! Edward said that he'll treat you well even though you'll only be his mistress. He's offering a dowry of one and half million! He just came to our house yesterday and discussed it with Mom and Dad!"

Diane could only smile coldly and look at her mother with disappointment. "So that one and half million is why you and grandma would rather watch Severin die rather than help him? Whether you like it or not, he's still Selene's father, and that means you ought to treat him like your son-in-law!"

Felicia blinked her eyes in bewilderment and said, "Him? My son-in-law? Your father and I have never accepted him as a son-in-law, and besides, if you hadn't called today to say that Selene's father came back, we wouldn't even know that he was Selene's father!"

After a brief silence, William said to Diane, "You're aware of what's happening now, aren't you? The Loughs have support from Draco Hall, and the Shanahans won't be able to help even if they wanted to. I'm sure you know how powerful Draco Hall is. They won't show any courtesy to third-tier upper-class families and even second-tier upper-class families!"

Felicia stepped up her efforts to persuade Diane. "You have to leave with us right now if you don't want to see Severin die in front of you. It's not like you owe him anything! He's the one who owes you big time after causing you to suffer so much in the past few years! You have no idea how

heartbroken I am when I see that!"

Everyone immediately fell silent at that moment, and a series of chaotic footsteps were heard. Dozens of strong men made their way over, and the people around them immediately gave way to them. "Welcome, Sir!" Two rows of Draco Hall's most highly-skilled individuals shouted in unison to welcome Blade, making for a truly intimidating sight!
