Life After Prison

“I…I have a daughter…I really do have a daughter!” Severin was more than pleasantly surprised. He could not have imagined that he would receive such blessings when he least expected it! Diane had gotten pregnant with his child after a drunken one-night stand, and she later gave birth to his adorable daughter. To top it off, Severin could tell that Diane was a good woman, one that was selfless, kind, and strong!

She was the kind of woman that Severin should protect, not gold-diggers like Lucy who placed vanity and money above all else.

In addition, the woman standing in front of him had the kind of character and aura that was unhampered by her ordinary-looking clothes, and her near-flawless face was practically glowing with beauty. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Diane had suffered a lot anguish and injustice in the past five years, so Severin secretly vowed to himself that he would make it up to her for everything that she went through-he wanted to convince her that she did not choose the wrong man, and he was determined to fulfill his responsibility as a good father. 1

Diane’s expression was still cold, and she looked at Trevor one last time before saying to him. Mister Trevor, I hope you’ll let Severin go out and put this matter to rest out of courtesy for the Shanahans.”

To her surprise, Trevor laughed, “Haha! I’m so sorry, Miss Diane. I would definitely have shown a bit of courtesy to the Shanahans in the past, but I’m afraid I can’t do that today.” Trevor’s expression turned icy cold as he said, “That b*stard Severin ruined my son’s wedding and tore off one of my son’s fingers. I’ll let him leave here alive out of courtesy to you, but I’m afraid I’ll have to cripple him with a severe beating before sending him on his way!”

One of the Loughs’ relatives stood up and said, “He’s right. Us Loughs would have lost all our dignity in front of so many wealthy businessmen if we just let this matter slide. So, you see, we can’t just let Severin off the hook just like that!”

Diane’s expression sank even more and she glared at them while saying, “Don’t cross the line, Trevor. The Loughs can’t afford to offend a third-tier upper-class family like the Shanahans.”

Trevor’s lips curled up slightly and he sneered at her. “You’re right, I wouldn’t dare to offend the Shanahans. If I extend a courtesy, it’ll be for the Shanahans, not you! After all, you’ve been disowned by the Shanahans, haven’t you? And now you’re making a living as a food delivery person. Do

you think the Shanahans will help you?”

Easton had been intimidated by Diane’s aura at first, but he reacted soon enough and immediately beamed with a grin. “Ah, so your b*stard child turned out to be Severin’s! I get why you didn’t reveal that to anyone at the time. Are you still deluded into thinking that you’re the Shanahans’ darling daughter and the same beautiful yet frosty president that you once were? Now that you’ve been reduced to delivering food, what makes you think you can protect a rash fool like Severin?”

“Hehe,” Lucy chuckled from the side, “a woman with a child born out of wedlock is truly a match made in heaven for an ex-convict!” She folded her hands in front of her chest and added, “Don’t you think you’re a damn fool? You were doing just fine as a rich young lady, but you just had to get

involved with someone like him. Everything that’s happening now is a consequence of your actions. I’m so glad I realized earlier and managed to get Easton’s love!”

Diane had an indignant look as she stepped forward and kicked Easton, who was squatting on the ground. “My daughter is not a b*stard!”

Lucy got up immediately and raised her hand to hit Diane. “As if anyone would believe that. If she’s not, why were so afraid of telling everyone who her father was?”

At that moment, Severin strode forward and grabbed Lucy’s arm. He only had to exert a slight. force to send Lucy staggering back and collapsing onto the ground.

“Ahh!” Lucy endured the pain and looked fiercely at Severin as she said, “Did you just hit a woman? What kind of man does that?”

“From now on,” Severin declared, “anyone who dares to bully my woman and my daughter will have to deal with me. I won’t spare anyone if they cross the line.” Severin looked frigidly at Lucy on the ground and said emphatically, “That includes you!”

Diane felt a little touched when she heard that. Although he gave her the impression of being a jerk and a scumbag, he was still man enough to stand up fearlessly for her when she was being bullied.

“You…” Lucy gritted her teeth angrily and glared at Severin.
