"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.

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 t

"Why are all of you just standing there? Beat him up!" Trevor looked at the bodyguards and shouted.

"Just try it!" When Diane saw those bodyguards raised their machetes, her heart skipped a beat, and she opened her arms again to shield Severin. "My family might not care much about me anymore, but the Shanahan blood still runs in my veins! If anyone hurts me by mistake, then you'd best be prepared to face the Shanahans's wrath!"

"You? What can do you? Bragging is all you've got going for you!" Diane left Severin speechless with that remark.

On the other side, Trevor frowned before eventually saying, "Alright, Miss Diane. I'll give yo

Severin's head was buzzing. He could not believe that he had a child, and wondered if that chubby and adorable girl named Selene was his daughter.

"That little girl…is my daughter?" Severin shook his head and found it hard to believe.

Diane walked up to Severin and gritted her teeth. All the suffering she had experienced in the past five years were concentrated into the tears that welled up in her eyes. She slapped Severin without hesitation and said, "You b*stard! Don't you remember what happened the night before you were apprehended? Do you have any idea what I had to go through in the past five years, and how much anguish I had to bear?"

Severin was so dumbstruck that he did not even stop her slap. He could feel just how hard it was for a daughter of an aristocratic family to be kicked out of her home whilst being pregnant with a baby. It was likely that she had gone through the ni
