Chapter 191
Edward looked at Diane leaving while feeling dumbstruck.
After a while, he finally got his senses back but Diane was already gone. He shook his head and looked at Felicia with disbelief. “Missus Felicia, what did I just hear? What is the meaning of that? Diane said you guys have accepted Severin? And Missus Catherine too? How’s that possible?”
Felicia frowned, She knew she has to explain everything to him. “Mister Edward, it’s better for you to let Diane go. There are many girls that are better than Diane and you can get them easily with your identity. Why should you insist on having her?”
She paused. “In the beginning, all of us did not approve of Diane marrying Severin. I mean he’s an offender that got sent to jail and also a poor guy without money and power. There was no way we would allow Diane to be together with him. Even when he went to screw up Easton’s wedding, we didn’t help him.”
“Then why the change of mind now?” Edward asked angrily. He gritted his teeth and was unhappy with the turns of things. Felicia was never shy to accept gifts from him. She even promised that she would help to persuade Diane to marry him. How could she accept Severin so easily now?
Felicia answered, “Selene has grown up now. Now that we know Severin is not totally useless as he has superb medical skills. Plus he now owns a villa and promises to give me seven million dollars of dowry. Look, he even bought us two cars and treated Diane so well…”
“Seven million dollars of dowry! Do you really believe that?” Edward was speechless. “He must be cheating you guys!”
“Diane said Severin is really going to keep his promise. I don’t really believe in him but I believe in my daughter. Most importantly, our family is in need of help from him. That’s why Catherin has agreed and even let Diane go back to work,” Felicia said.
“That’s right. Mister Edward, look at you. You’re handsome and young. There are many women out there and I’m sure many women are fond of you. It’s meaningless to insist on marrying my sister.” Megan also tried to convince him.
“What the hell do you guys know?” Anger rose in him like a tide. He gripped his fist tightly and gave Felicia and Megan an angry look. “Do you think that imbecile is better than me? I don’t believe Severin is really that good! Why should I give up the woman I like to him? Tell Diane that she better know what’s good for her!”
With that said, he turned against them. “And you two! Shame on you! What did you promise me before? Didn’t you guys say you will help me? After all the gifts I gave you two, you ungrateful and cruel people!”
This was the first time Felicia did not dare to get angry after being scolded. She smiled embarrassingly. “Umm.. Mister Edward, please calm down. We know you love my daughter. But there’s nothing we do anymore. Don’t worry, we will return all the gifts you gave us.”
