Life After Prison by Silencieux (PDF) novel Chapter 21

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 at 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.
