"Hehe, his wife's name is Diane, and she's the eldest daughter of the Shanahans. She's very experienced in life, and she's also known to be a stereotypical cold-hearted businesswoman. Many rich guys deemed her the number one most beautiful woman in Brookbourn, which is probably why many of them hate Severin to the core!"
Lucy sneered coldly. "She may be good-looking, but she's incredibly stupid! She got pregnant with Severin's child after a one-night stand, and to make things worse, she decided to keep the baby! The Shanahans were just a third-tier family at the time, and her grandmother valued their reputation above all else. So..." She recounted Severin's entire relationship with Diane.
Cain admired Diane even more when he heard that. "Based on what you told me, she sounds like a pretty good person. She kept the baby, raised her child, and even waited for Severin for five years. Such women are far and few in between nowadays!"
Lucy did not expect Cain to lavish so much praise on Diane. She could not help but roll her eyes at Cain. "Seriously? Did you, like, fall in love with her because you heard that she was the most beautiful woman in Brookbourn? You sound super impressed by her!"
Cain smiled awkwardly and explained, "Of course not. How am I supposed to fall in love with someone I've never met before? You're being amusing. Come on now, eat some more, babe!" He then heaped some food on Lucy's plate.
Time ticked away, and once Severin finished his meal with Candy, he stood up to pay the bill.
When Cain saw Severin getting up, he stood up too and wiped his mouth before asking Lucy, "They've finished their meal. Are you done too?"
"I'm done. Now all that's left to do is wait for them to leave so we can let your men deal with them. I want Severin to feel the shame of regret after mocking me earlier!" Lucy said.
Severin and Candy walked over quickly, and the dozen or so men surrounded them as soon as they left the restaurant.
