To everyone’s surprise, Diane frowned and said, “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to join. You


    can go with them yourself, Severin!”


    The smile on Henry’s face froze in an instant, for her rebuff was downright discourteous!


    The Shanahans were all taken aback, and William immediately stepped forward to say, “What are you


    talking about, Diane? Mister Henry invited you to dinner because he thinks highly of you. How could


    you refuse to go?”

    He then smiled in a ttering manner and said to Henry, “Mister Henry, my wife has been a little spoiled


    since childhood, but it’s nothing more than a bit of temper. Please don’t take her actions to heart!”


    Catherine was just as startled too. “What are you talking about? You need to go, Diane! It is


    unbing of you to refuse an invitation from Mister Henry!”


    The Shanahans had been dreaming of getting such an opportunity, yet they were never fortunate


    enough to get one. On the other hand, Diane had received that privilege when Henry invited her to join


    the meal, yet she refused. The Shanahans would probably be done for if Henry was not


    to


    – pleased by what happened and put the me squarely on the Shanahans. It brought shivers


    their spine when they thought about the possible suppression that they would receive from a first- tier


    family.


    Diane smiled awkwardly and said, “I didn’t refuse it out of disrespect. It’s mainly because my daughter


    Selene has been waiting almost an hour for me at home. It won’t be good for such a young girl like her


    to wait alone for too long!”


    Severin then immediately added, “That’s right! My daughter is still waiting for me toe back home.


    How about we just call it a day right now?”


    Henry was absolutely speechless to hear that. He said to Severin, “But I’ve already reserved the VIP


    room. Might I suggest having someone to drive Miss Diane back so she could bring your daughter


    along to have lunch with us too?”


    Diane immediately smiled in embarrassment and said, “I can’t possibly ept that! We wouldn’t want


    you to wait for us, Mister Henry!” She did not want to offend Henry any further, so she turned to Severin


    and said, “You should stay here with Mister Henry. I’ll go back to be with Selene. I’m really worried that


    she’s been waiting too long.”


    Severin frowned, and finally said, “Perhaps you could have someone send me and my wife back so we


    can pick up Selene ande here?”


    Henry was overjoyed when Severin agreed and immediately assured, “That won’t be a problem.


    There’s still time!”


    Severin told them, “You may go ahead and order the food. We’ll be back in a jiffy!”.


    “Sure thing. We’ll order first and wait for you in the VIP room on the third floor!” Henry nodded and


    agreed with a smile.


    Trevor and Easton looked at each other in speechlessness. They were mind-boggled to see that


    Severin would have such a cordial rtionship with Henry! Furthermore, Henry seemed determined to


    treat Severin to lunch that day, so much so that he was willing to wait for Severin


    and Diane.


    When Severin led Diane away, he stopped again and looked at Trevor and others behind him. Henry


    immediately understood Severin’s intention and said directly to Trevor, “Luck doesn’t seem to have


    favored you today, Trevor. Now that the auspicious time has passed, it’s best for you to -just cancel the


    wedding. We wouldn’t be able to build an appetite if we hear all the noiseing. from the second


    floor, and Severin might not be in the mood to drink a few sses with the me


    then.”


    “C-c-c-can…cel?” Trevor’s expression sank. For them to cancel the wedding after everything had been


    prepared would be nothing short of embarrassing! They would probably have to hang their head in


    shame for the foreseeable future whenever they went out.


    “Is something the matter? Do I have to repeat myself?” Henry’s expression darkened, and he said to


    Denzel, “Denzel, could you please have your security guards clear the ce? I want the ce cleared


    in five minutes!”


    “No problem!” Denzel grinned and nodded.


    “We’ll leave on our own!” Trevor gritted his teeth angrily. There was nothing he could do except leave


    as he was told.
