Chapter 363

Lena calmed down after a moment and went out of the room to take a walk. Little did she know that two people were already watching her from the shadows.

Halfway through her stroll, she saw a few bodyguards carrying the wooden chair into the yard. They poured lots of gasoline over the chair and heaped some firewood over it before setting it on fire.

Lena felt her heart skip a beat, but she could not help herself from walking over and asking the bodyguards, "Why are you burning the wooden chair, Dan? Isn't it precious? It's also Mister Zachariah's most cherished item too. Doesn't he always show it off to other people? Why did he decide to burn it?”

Dan, the bodyguard, said to Lena, "We don't know for sure, but we've been told to burn it because it's poisonous. I'm just as surprised that we were ordered to do that when this is such a precious treasure. There might not be another one like this in the whole of the country!"

"I see." Lena smiled awkwardly and continued walking.

Diane had already gotten off work by the time Severin returned home. When she saw him, she could not help but smile at him and ask, "I heard from my parents that you said you went to treat Mister Zachariah?"

Severin nodded. "I did. His symptoms were the result of getting poisoned, not a natural disease. The poison used was very dangerous, and worse of all, his elder cousin brother and younger cousin sister wanted him dead when he was unconscious!"

Diane was a little curious when she heard that. "What's going on? Could you take it a little. slower and explain it from the start?"

Severin finally explained everything to Diane.

"Tsk, tsk. I didn't expect his brother would do that to him, much less his cousins plotting to take the family assets after seeing him unconscious! I can't believe they wanted to suffocate him with a pillow and ther make plans to kill Sheila too!" Diane was shocked to hear all that.. Don't they have a single trace of humanity? I can't believe they'd lose their minds like that. over money!"

Severin smiled bitterly. "I heard that Zachariah's brother, Zenoah, has a very good.

relationship with Zachariah. Zenoah has a business abroad too, so he couldn't have been short of money. Why would he go to such lengths to try and kill his elder brother? I can't wrap my head around what sort of grudge Zenoah might have toward Zachariah for him to do. something like that!"

"Okay, okay. Let's have dinner. Mom and Dad have prepared all the food, and we were just waiting for you to have dinner together!" Diane smiled and said to Severin.

A sudden thought occurred to Severin and he could not help but ask Diane, "The Shanahans" businesses should be showing some positive signs now, I believe?"

"Of course!" Diane walked in and said with a smile, "And it's all thanks to you! After you secured two quotas for us Liberty City, many wealthy businessmen and third-tier families are

starting to look at us in a good light. They all saw how good of a relationship Sheila seems to have with you, and now, even the second-tier and first-tier families who have never done. business with us before are interested to cooperate!"

Severin's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Really? That's great then!"

After some thought, Diane said, "By the way, Sheila seems to be a very pure-hearted and straightforward woman. To be honest, I'm quite envious of her character before she lives her life in such a carefree manner! But then again, I don't think she'll be that carefree anymore after what happened to her father!”

"Yeah. She didn't expect that all her relatives wanted to harm her and her father. I can see that she's feeling a little down in the dumps today!" Severin said lamentably.

Diane looked at Severin, and said again, "As her friend, you should show a little more concern for her these next few days. Be there to guide her and cheer her up. She's a very kind girl, but she's too naive, and she doesn't know the dangers of reality!"
