Life After Prison

Stunned, the four bodyguards then turned around and stared at the woman.

Severin frowned, turned around slowly, and finally exclaimed in confoundment, “You again!” !e was utterly dumbfounded when he saw her, because she was none other than the woman who called him a jerk in that dilapidated neighborhood earlier that day. Somehow, she was still dressed in the same food delivery uniform as she squeezed out from behind the Loughs’ bodyguards.

She was panting heavily, which obviously suggested that she was exhausted after rushing all the way there!

“Who is this woman? Must be some nutcase too. Didn’t she call Severin ‘my man’?”

Some of the guests went blank for a moment, and eventually they could not help but whisper among themselves.

“Who are you? Did you mistake him for someone else? Severin doesn’t have a wife, so who are your trying to fool?” Lucy took a step forward and said to the woman in front of her. “Don’t poke your nose in the Loughs’ private business!”

Diane looked at Lucy in surprise and said, “Whether you like it or not, he’s been in a relationship with you for three years. If a person can get attached to a pet, I’m sure you still have a tiny bit of feelings for him too, right? Are you really going to just watch him get killed? Why do you have to be so cold- blooded?”

“Cold-blooded?” Lucy laughed in spite of her anger. “You’ve got it all wrong, haven’t you, lady? This hobo came here to ruin my wedding and hurt my man, but you’re calling me cold-blooded? He would only have himself to blame if he was killed!”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Severin chuckled self-mockingly. Since he and Lucy were once lovers, he had refrained from ruining her wedding in a final show of dignity to her. Easton, however, kept pushing his buttons, leaving him no choice but to fight back.

Worse still, Lucy had completely ignored their past together and was eager to watch him die right in front of her!

“Why are you people still standing there? Go up there and kill him!” Easton gritted his teeth and urged the bodyguards.

Whoever that woman was, she looked like nothing more than an ordinary food delivery person, so there was nothing for them to be scared of!

“Wait!” Just as the bodyguards were about to strike again, Trevor stepped forward with a solemn expression and cupped his hands respectfully at Diane. “Is he really your man, Miss Diane?”

“Miss Diane?” Someone from the crowd uttered in surprise and immediately thought of something. “Ah! This must be Diane Shanahan, the same Shanahans that happen to be one of our city’s third-tier upper-class families!”

“The Shanahans? That explains why Mister Trevor Lough is being so polite to her. The Shanahans are a third-tier upper-class family, and not even the Loughs can afford to piss them off!”

“Miss Diane? The one who’s known for being a stunningly beautiful yet icy cold company president? Someone once said to me that she’s an iron lady, and plenty of young men from Brookbourn’s elites have wanted to win her heart! Some people even said that she’s the most beautiful woman in the whole of Brookbourn!” One of the businessmen there remembered something and exclaimed in amazement.

However, it did not take long for someone else to frown and say, “But why is she wearing a food delivery person’s uniform? I thought you said that she’s a beautiful, ice-cold company president?” “Sigh, you probably don’t know the story. Diane supposedly got pregnant with some random guy’s baby about five years ago, and it’s only natural for a third tier upper-class family like the Shanahans to not tolerate what happened. Nobody knows who the child is. She refused to tell her family whose child it is, and she insists on keeping the child even when she was advised to abort it. Didn’t take long before she got kicked out by her family!” a businessman said.

He then continued the story. “In the end, I heard that she gave birth to the child all on her own. It turned out to be a daughter, but the Shanahans still didn’t let her come back because they felt that she had brought shame to the Shanahan name! I’m actually surprised that she ended up having to deliver food just to earn money and make a living!”

The wealthy businessman who knew about the situation could not help but lament, “Diane has only herself to blame. She’s a beautiful woman, and she ranks pretty highly in terms of social status. If she just aborted the child, she could have easily gotten hitched to a young man from a rich family, but she somehow decided that she wanted to keep the baby!”

Diane reminisced about her past and felt a wave of grievance in her heart. Her eyes had turned red, and she looked at Trevor while nodding, “Yes, Mister Trevor. He is my man. It was his child that I got pregnant with all those years ago!”

“My child?!” Severin blurted out in shock.
