“Why are all of you just standing there? Beat him up!” Trevor looked at the bodyguards and shouted.
“Just try it!” When Diane saw those bodyguards raised their machetes, her heart skipped a beat, and she opened her arms again to shield Severin. “My family might not care much about me anymore, but the Shanahan blood still runs in my veins! If anyone hurts me by mistake, then you’d best be prepared to face the Shanahans’s wrath!”
“But…” The bodyguards immediately became fearful.
Severin, who was standing behind her, felt a warm current in his heart. However, he took a step forward and patted Diane on the shoulder. “Leave this kind of stuff to me. I can handle it, so don’t worry!”
“You? What can do you? Bragging is all you’ve got going for you!” Diane left Severin speechless with that remark.
On the other side, Trevor frowned before eventually saying, “Alright, Miss Diane. I’ll give you one chance today. I’ll let the two of you leave if you can get someone from the Shanahans to plead on behalf of him. If you can’t, then I’m afraid I’ll have to go rough on you!”
“Sure!” Diane bit her reddened lips and decided to take a chance. Moments later, she took out her phone and phoned the Shanahan home. “Dad, you wanted to know who Selene’s father is, right? You can come right now to the second floor of the Richemont Hotel!”
After hanging up the phone, Diane turned around and looked at Severin. She was obviously a little nervous because she was unsure whether the Shanahans would come or not.
“Your home isn’t very far from here, Miss Diane, so I’ll give you twenty minutes at most. If no one from the Shanahans comes to help you, well, then there’s nothing I can do if I accidentally hurt you! * Trevor chuckled. He knew that the Shanahans would have completely disowned her if no one from their family came to her aid. If that were the case, he would not need to worry about anything if Diane got caught in the crossfire when Severin was getting beat up.
Above all, he had to vent his anger in full that day! Furthermore, he still had an ace up his sleeve. It was something that even the Shanahans feared! He simply did not want to use that trump card unless it was absolutely necessary, as there would only be one chance for him to use it! Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Time passed bit by bit.
Severin could have easily dealt with the Loughs’ bodyguards there, but he decided against it because he wanted to get an understanding of the Shanahans’ attitude toward Diane.
“Hehe! I didn’t expect you to be so reliant on women now, Severin. You’re even hiding behind her now!” Easton smiled coldly. One of the servants had already called for a doctor to bandage his wound. He stood back up and said, “Fifteen minutes have passed. If the Shanahans don’t show up in another five minutes, not even a miracle from above will be able to protect you.”
Severin shot Easton a glare, scaring the latter so severely that he immediately took two steps. back and hid behind the Loughs’ bodyguards.
Many guests began whispering among themselves.
“The Shanahans won’t come. If they still cared about Diane, they wouldn’t have chased out of the home in the first place!”
“I agree. The whole thing caused such a stir back then. It made the news when Diane gave birth to an unknown man’s child out of wedlock, and the Shanahans had to live in shame from then on!”
