“Twenty minutes are up!” Lucy had been staring intently at the time, and she immediately reminded


    Trevor when she saw that it had reached the 20-minute mark.


    Trevor nodded and signaled for the Loughs’s bodyguards to go ahead. To his astonishment, however,


    the Shanahans’ olddy had reached the second floor just as he was about to raise his


    hand. Her two sons came with her as well, along with several other members of the Shanahan family.


    Behind them were than a dozen bodyguards, all of whom were wearing in ck suits. There were more


    than meets the eye for everyone there.


    Although there were not a lot of people from the Shanahans, the Loughs’ bodyguards consciously gave


    way when they saw that the Shanahans had arrived. After all, the Shanahans were a third-tier upper-


    ss family. Their sheer influence dwarfed the Loughs, and thetter simply could not afford to piss the


    Shanahans off.


    Several guests began to gossip when they saw the Shanahans making an appearance.


    “The Shanahans came? Guess they’re still going to help Diane.”


    “At the end of the day, she’s still a part of them. Her family benefited greatly from many of her


    contributions back in the day. Looks like the Loughs won’t be able to do anything to Diane and Severin


    today!”


    Lucy’s eyes were filled with disappointment. “They’re really here!” Severin had ruined her wedding and


    she did not want to pay back all that money he was demanding from her. All she hoped was that the


    Loughs would kill Severin, or at the very least, cripple him so that he would not bother her family again


    in the future.


    Trevor did not seem too happy either, but he decided to stepped forward with a smile, and said to the


    both the Shanahans’ olddy, as well as the current Shanahan head of the home, “Madam Catherine,


    Mister George. What brings you all here?”


    Trevor could help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. He would not have been that scared if the


    person who came was Diane’s father, because thetter was a useless good-for-nothing who had no


    say in the family.

    After the death of Catherine’s husband, she took charge in handling the Shanahans affairs, though


    some of the duties being delegated to George, the elder brother of Diane’s father. Thepany’s


    affairs were originally handled by the business-savvy Diane, and she was rumored to have had the


    chance to inherit the position as head of the family. s, the situation turned sour when Diane gave


    birth to a child out of wedlock five years ago, and her duties in the family were then handed over to


    William’s son Stanley.


    Catherine nced at the situation and asked faintly. “What’s going on here, Mister Trevor?”


    Trevor immediately cupped his hands and said, “My son is getting married today, so we’re holding a


    wedding celebration here, but this man Severin unexpectedly showed up and cause trouble. Severin is


    the b*stard ex-boyfriend of my future daughter-inw, and the same guy who was sent to prison after


    smashing a beer bottle over my son’s head five years ago. He just got released from prison recently…”


    After Trevor exined what was happening, he said again, “To be honest, I didn’t expect that Severin


    was Miss Diane’s man. It came as aplete surprise that she was in a rtionship with an ex-


    convict! That’s the reason for this entire misunderstanding!”


    Trevor remarked with a deliberate emphasis on Severin’s background, as well as to express his


    disappointment over how Diane’s choice was not worth all the trouble. He stole a quick nce at


    Catherine’s face as soon as he ended his words, and true to his guess, she appeared to be


    exceptionally displeased.


    “Grandma, you’re here too!” Diane eximed.
