Chapter 42
At that moment, the woman next to Edward sneered and said, “Are you that clueless, Edward? Do you honestly think that this woman can endure loneliness? She’s probably the kind of woman who pretends to be chaste but slept with a lot of men in reality. These people are very good at putting on a facade, you know. There’s a word for these women-hypocrites!”

“To hell with you. I don’t care if you want to demean me, but don’t you dare say woman!” Severin clenched his fist again after hearing that. “You deserve a spanking!”
“Edward, look! This loser here wants to hit me!” The woman immediately hid behind Edward, but ironically, her expression seemed to warn him not to lay a hand on her.
However, Diane pulled Severin forcefully and shot him a look that signaled for him not to be impulsive. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She then stepped forward and said, “Do you think I’m that kind of woman, Edward? Besides, you have a wife, and yet here you are shopping with another woman and telling me that you love me. It seems to me that you brought that woman here just to disgust me!”
“Edward’s rich. Why would it matter if a rich man has other women outside of their marriage? Isn’t that normal? You’re the one who shouldn’t be a hypocrite you know. Look at you pretending to be all pure when you’re leading Edward on while dating some other man! Who are you trying to fool by acting all innocent?” The woman shot back like a rabid dog in response to Diane’s remark.
To everyone’s surprise, Edward slapped her with the back of his hand. “You stupid b*tch! If you don’t have manners when you talk, then don’t bother talking at all. I know Diane. You’re barely even half as good as her.
“Edward, I…” The woman covered her face in shock. As aggrieved as she was at what happened, she did not dare to say another word.
“F*ck off!” Edward pointed to the door. “Don’t you ever show yourself in front of me ever again!”
The woman was so angry, but she could only glare viciously at Diane before turning around to leave. The saleswomen were all very frightened and could only stand helplessly some distance
away.
After all, everyone knew Edward and understood him to be someone who often brought beautiful women out to shop at their store. He might occasionally smack the buttocks of a beautiful saleswoman that he fancied, but then he would spend several thousand after that. The entire store could be turned upside down by his antics and the saleswomen still would not dare to say a thing.
After the woman left, Edward spread his hands open, unbuttoned his collar, and said to Diane,” Since you’re not that kind of woman who sleeps around, then do tell me who this man is. I want a clear explanation today, or else I’ll have my men crack his eggs open. Would you like to try me?”
“You expect that to do that with just these people?” Severin smiled in disdain when he heard that. Those men were all martial artists, but in his eyes, they were just as weak as ants.
“You’re trying to get yourself killed, aren’t you?” one of the bodyguards threatened. They were
unhappy when they heard his remark. Being able to work as Edward’s bodyguards was proof that they had ample skills, and yet there they were being denigrated by a loser.
“You should just give up on me, Edward. I’m his woman, he is Selene’s father!” Diane smiled, held Severin’s hand, and continued firmly, “He was released ahead of schedule, and all I want now is for my family to live in peace from now on. I hope you won’t bother me again!”
“He-He’s the b*stard girl’s father? That same man?” Edward felt as if he had just been struck by fightning. It had never occurred to him that the man he hated most was none other than the person standing right in front of him!
