Lena calmed down after a moment and went out of the room to take a walk. Little did she know that two
people were already watching her from the shadows.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
Halfway through her stroll, she saw a few bodyguards carrying the wooden chair into the yard. They
poured lots of gasoline over the chair and heaped some firewood over it before setting it
on fire.
Lena felt her heart skip a beat, but she could not help herself from walking over and asking the
bodyguards, “Why are you burning the wooden chair, Dan? Isn’t it precious? It’s also Mister
Zachariah’s most cherished item too. Doesn’t he always show it off to other people? Why did he decide
to burn it?”
Dan, the bodyguard, said to Lena, “We don’t know for sure, but we’ve been told to burn it because it’s
poisonous. I’m just as surprised that we were ordered to do that when this is such a precious treasure.
There might not be another one like this in the whole of the country!”
“I see.” Lena smiled awkwardly and continued walking.
Diane had already gotten off work by the time Severin returned home. When she saw him, she could
not help but smile at him and ask, “I heard from my parents that you said you went to treat Mister
Zachariah?”
Severin nodded. “I did. His symptoms were the result of getting poisoned, not a natural disease. The
poison used was very dangerous, and worse of all, his elder cousin brother and younger cousin sister
wanted him dead when he was unconscious!”
Diane was a little curious when she heard that. “What’s going on? Could you take it a little. slower and
exin it from the start?”
Severin finally exined everything to Diane.
“Tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect his brother would do that to him, much less his cousins plotting to take the
family assets after seeing him unconscious! I can’t believe they wanted to suffocate him with a pillow
and then make ns to kill She too!” Diane was shocked to hear all that.. Don’t they have a single
trace of humanity? I can’t believe they’d lose their minds like that. over money!”
Severin smiled bitterly. “I heard that Zachariah’s brother, Zenoah, has a very good.
rtionship with Zachariah. Zenoah has a business abroad too, so he couldn’t have been short of
money. Why would he go to such lengths to try and kill his elder brother? I can’t wrap my head around
what sort of grudge Zenoah might have toward Zachariah for him to do. something like that!”
“Okay, okay. Let’s have dinner. Mom and Dad have prepared all the food, and we were just waiting for
you to have dinner together!” Diane smiled and said to Severin.
A sudden thought urred to Severin and he could not help but ask Diane, “The Shanahans”
businesses should be showing some positive signs now, I believe?”
“Of course!” Diane walked in and said with a smile, “And it’s all thanks to you! After you secured two
quotas for us Liberty City, many wealthy businessmen and third-tier families are
starting to look at us in a good light. They all saw how good of a rtionship She seems to have with
you, and now, even the second-tier and first-tier families who have never done. business with us before
are interested to cooperate!”
Severin’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Really? That’s great then!”
After some thought, Diane said, “By the way, She seems to be a very pure-hearted and
straightforward woman. To be honest, I’m quite envious of her character before she lives her life in
such a carefree manner! But then again, I don’t think she’ll be that carefree anymore after what
happened to her father!”
“Yeah. She didn’t expect that all her rtives wanted to harm her and her father. I can see that she’s
feeling a little down in the dumps today!” Severin saidmentably.
Diane looked at Severin, and said again, “As her friend, you should show a little more concern for her
these next few days. Be there to guide her and cheer her up. She’s a very kind girl, but she’s too naive,
and she doesn’t know the dangers of reality!”
