Big Novel

Chapter 147
“He’s Severin? I thought he just came out of prison. Is he that rich already?” Maryam frowned. She wondered if it was a dream
because everything was simply so surreal to her.
On one side, Stanley said, “That’s him alright. He’s the one who made a big fuss at the hotel during Easton’s wedding that day!”
After hearing what Stanley said, there was nothing Maryam could say despite her unwillingness.
Catherine remembered that she needed Severin’s help with Liberty City and could not help but say to Diane, “Diane, you’re
back! Shouldn’t you be introducing your man to us?”
Many years have passed since Diane was kicked out of the house, and although she did feel that her grandmother had crossed
the line back then, she could not say that she hated the old lady either. After all, the only reason she got wasted and slept with
Severin in a drunken encounter was because she did not want to marry Edward and ran away as a result. Therefore, she always
felt that she was responsible for everything that happened after that, especially in terms of causing the Shanahans to lose their
reputation in the past few years.
After hearing the old lady’s tone, she forced a smile and said, “Grandma, this is Severin. That’s his mother, Judith, and his father,
Maurice!”
“Hello, ma’am!”
“Hey there, Grandma!”
Severin and his parents immediately greeted the old lady with a smile.
Before long, Diane introduced William, Stanley, and the rest to Severin and his family.
After the introduction, the old lady smiled. “You know, Diane...I do think I went too far in the past. I kicked you out when you are
pregnant, and now that I think about it, I do feel that I’ve crossed the line. I hope you won’t hold a grudge against me anymore.
From now on, the Shanahans will be your second home, and whenever you have some free time, I hope you’ll come back and
visit. more often.”
There were traces of surprise in Diane’s eyes, for she did not expect the stubborn old lady to take the initiative to apologize to
her. Since her elder had already gone to such lengths to apologize to her, it was only right for her not to bear a grudge for what

happened a few years ago.
She tried her best to force a smile and said, “I was wrong on my part back then too. My stubbornness brought disgrace to the
Shanahans. I can’t keep hating you, Grandma. You’re still my grandmother no matter what happens.
“Hmph. At least you’re aware that you brought disgrace to the family!” Maryam, who was standing on one side, folded her hands
on her chest and muttered softly.
After hearing that, the old lady’s face soured in displeasure and she said to Maryam. “Perhaps you could go back to your villa for
now, Maryam. I have something to discuss with Diane and the others!”
1* Although Maryam was upset, she could only grit her teeth and put on a fake
smile before turning to leave.
After Maryam left, the old lady looked at Severin. “You’re Severin, right? I’m not surprised that Diane fell in love with you back
then. You really are a good-looking man. I heard that you’re also proficient in medicine and have superb medical skills. I guess
you’re not that useless after all!”
“Thank you for your compliment, ma’am. I am, as you say, not that useless, haha!” Severin said with a faint smile.
Ludith and Maurice glanced at each other knowingly. They were no idiots, and they knew exactly what the old lady was implying.
Though she no longer held a grudge about what happened five years ago, she still seemed very unsatisfied with their son.
