Chapter 29

To everyone’s surprise, Diane frowned and said, “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to join. You can go with them yourself, Severin!”

The smile on Henry’s face froze in an instant, for her rebuff was downright discourteous!

The Shanahans were all taken aback, and William immediately stepped forward to say, “What are you talking about, Diane? Mister Henry invited you to dinner because he thinks highly of you. How could you refuse to go?”

The Shanahans had been dreaming of getting such an opportunity, yet they were never fortunate enough to get one. On the other hand, Diane had received that privilege when Henry invited her to join the meal, yet she refused. The Shanahans would probably be done for if Henry was not
