Severin was stunned. “You can’t be serious, right? She confesses her feelings for me at every turn, and


    I get super awkward when she does that. How could you tell me to be there for her these next few


    days? Aren’t you afraid she might take advantage of me?”


    “Pfft!” When Diane heard that, she covered her mouth and said, “Oh, keep bragging, Severin! She’s


    just a cheerful personality who doesn’t shy away from being blunt, but I don’t think she’ll cross the line


    and take advantage of you, right? You make it sound like she can’t wait to pounce on you!”


    Severin was speechless, as he did not expect Diane not to believe the truth. A sudden thought then


    urred to him and he asked, “By the way, the Shanahans don’t have any cooperation with the


    Horsfields or the Loughs, right?”


    Diane frowned curiously. “Why would you suddenly think of asking this question? We’ve never


    cooperated with the Loughs before, but it’s a different story for the Horsfields. You do know that Edward


    has a thing for me, so he did try to establish a good rtionship with our family. Stanley naturally took


    advantage of that and began a business cooperation with. Edward’s family!” She then added, “Our


    main business cooperation right now is building materials!”


    After hearing that, Severin immediately said, “In that case, you should cut off all cooperation with them


    from tomorrow onward, otherwise you’ll be suffering a lot of losses in the future. Try to sever business


    ties with them as soon as possible!”


    “Why do you say that? I don’t like Edward all that much, so I did terminate some of the business


    dealings I had with them. But there’s quite a hefty amount of profit to be made the building material


    business, and we haven’t broken off the cooperation in that aspect because it’s been quite steady,”


    Diane said.


    “Because the Znkos, the Longhorns, and the Bards are about to suppress the Horsfields, and I


    wanted to let you know in advance because the Horsfields might go bankrupt in a few more days!”


    Severin then exined.


    “Whoa!” Diane inhaled sharply and understood right away. Severin seemed to have the means and


    influence to send a second-tier family spiraling downward!


    “I understand now!” Diane nodded, knowing very well that the Horsfields and the Loughs. would be


    done for after facing such suppression from all quarters.


    When dinner was over, Severin and Diane went upstairs with Selene. After finally coaxing the little girl


    to sleep, Diane came out of Selene’s room to discover that Severin had finished his shower and was


    still standing in front of her room door. She could not help rolling her eyes at Severin as she asked,


    “Are you still thinking about sleeping in the same room as me tonight?”


    Severin smiled awkwardly. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything fishy! I just want to sleep with you in my


    arms!”


    “Pfft!” Diane rolled her eyes at Severin and walked in.

    “Does ‘pfft’ mean yes or no?” Severin frowned, not knowing what Diane meant.


    “Come in!” Diane was a little nervous, but she finally relented after giving it some thought.
