Chloe also froze at that.She did not expect Sean to be involved in a murder.Besides that, it was more than one!At the same time, she knew what Anson meant.Although the Lathan family of Joules Town had nothing to do with River City, nor would it interfere with River City's affairs, how Sean had overcome the difficulties and got to where he was now had much to do with the Lathan family.Sean was involved in murder after he rose to power.Would the Lathan family not be affected?"Dad, there must be some misunderstanding."I know how he is. He would never do something like that randomly."Chloe was silent for quite some time before raising his head and speaking sternly."Hmph! You know him well."Anson glanced at Chloe and said, "I'm not kidding you."Your Uncle Charlie has called me and is about to arrest him."Chloe tensed at Anson's statement.Charlie was the head of Souz River, and River City was his territory.No one could stop him if he wanted to arrest Sean."Oh,

"You're indeed the best, Dad."Chloe immediately cheered up and smiled at Anson."Don't count your chickens before they hatch. I have conditions."Anson's statement made Chloe stop smiling."Think about the marriage your grandfather arranged for you."I heard you refused to go when he came to pick you up."Speechless, Chloe stuck out her tongue when she heard Anson's question.She had been so opposed to the arranged marriage that she had left Lathan Manor in a fit of anger and run away.She had had feelings for Sean since meeting him.Maybe she did not like him very much, but at least Chloe thought Sean was the best man she had seen over the years.Or at least he was her type.Therefore, she grew more resistant to the marriage even after her return."Promise me you'll keep Sean safe."And I'll promise to go shopping with him tomorrow."Chloe was silent for a moment before saying.She finally understood why Anson had told her about Sean.He must be trying to use this to
Chapter 1106
Sean had no background in River City and was looked down upon by many people.Even after Sean kicked out Jen-Bond Holdings and took over Zimmer Corporation, many forces did not take him seriously.They only joined Lennon Group to save themselves.After all, most of them, including Homer, were over 40 years old.Working under Sean, a young man in his twenties, and having to do whatever he said inevitably upset some people.However, no one dared resist him after the news of Jon's death broke.Unless they wanted to be the next Jon, they had to fall in line.River City's Larson Pharmaceuticals and the Larson family were impressed. At the same time, they were glad about their decision.Of course, the Summers family of River City and the underworld's Flint were happy.It was true that when one person rose, the status of the people around them would rise with him.They had chosen to bet on Sean.If Sean failed, they would also fall into the abyss alongside him and never recover.H

Jason was in the army, so he knew what was happening.A while back, Jason's immediate boss, Blaze's subordinate, asked about Sean.It was why Sean thought of speeding up his plan.He would get things done as soon as possible and then take on Blaze.Jason would never call Sean unless something serious had happened.Something must have happened if he had called.Sean glanced at Willow and Lisa in front of him before stepping aside to answer the phone."Mr. Lennon, it's me."The line got through, and Jason's voice came."What happened?"Sean raised his eyebrows slightly. He noticed that Jason's voice was a little melancholy."Mr. Lennon, are Jon and Quill... really dead?"Jason pondered for two seconds before asking.Sean was also a little silent after hearing Jason's question.He knew that most members of the army valued their relationships.Jason and Jon were related, and Jon had always helped him.They were also often in contact in recent years. It would be a lie to say

She thought she must have been dreaming when she woke up this morning.Either that or Sean just made a joke on a whim.However, she realized that Sean was not joking and was paying her that much.Soon enough, Lisa was thrilled.They soon finished paying, and the three were about to leave."Jeez. I can't even find any nice clothes in such a huge store."The quality for the ones I like is awful. I can't believe some fools buy clothes here."Just then, a voice rang behind them.The voice sounded domineering. You could hear the person's bossiness by the sound of those heels clacking on the ground.Many customers in the store frowned at the sound of this.'Fools who buy clothes here?'Is she implying we're all fools?'Many people looked upset, but they withdrew their gaze after taking a glance.They were a couple wearing international brands. They were well-dressed.The girl was about Willow's age and had good looks.However, her expression and words were upsetting.The man
Chapter 1109
In their eyes, Sean wore simple clothes, no fancy watch on his wrist, and the belt and casual shoes on his feet were unremarkable.Sean did not wear any of men's most important accessories—a watch, belt, and leather shoes.It might be nothing to the others. However, Sean was like a country bumpkin to self-styled fashionistas like Jojo and Kyle."Willow, I'm not criticizing you..."You refused the rich heirs when they pursued you."What's the matter? Is this all you've found?"I'm not satisfied."Jojo judged Sean as if she were Willow’s keeper."It doesn't matter. All that matters is that I'm satisfied."The smile on Willow's face faded when she heard this."Tsk, is this where he brings you to shop for clothes?"I don't want anything from this local brand even if you give it to me for free."Did you see my shoes? I can buy dozens of clothes here with the price of a pair of them."Jojo pointed to her heels, her voice smug."Does Neke sell heels...?"Looking at the logo on

Swoosh!Everyone instantly turned around when the store manager said that.Jojo, Kyle, and even Lisa looked shocked.'Willow is a diamond VIP customer of the store?'And she bought a whole range of bags in all colors some time ago?'Willow was telling the truth and wasn't bluffing?'"Are you sure you didn't mistake her for someone else?"Jojo frowned and asked, looking at the store manager."Miss, there's no mistake. Ms. Quinn is our diamond VIP."The store manager shook her head slightly as she replied politely.All the customers in the store, including Jojo and Kyle, looked stunned.After all, they thought Willow was bluffing and pretending to be someone she was not.However, the truth was suddenly in front of them, so they found it hard to accept for a moment."Well... Well..."The crowd was somewhat speechless.Awkwardness haunted Jojo intensely."Ahem, I didn't expect your classmate to be so wealthy."Kyle smiled awkwardly and came forward to help Jojo smooth thin

"Thank you."Willow was embarrassed to get the bag for free."Don't mention it, Ms. Quinn."It's our pleasure to be of service to you."The store manager smiled gently, her tone full of respect.She then escorted Sean and the rest out the door with a couple of staff members following them.Sean and Willow thought Jojo and Kyle had left.However, they were still waiting outside, muttering."Willow, is the store manager your friend?"Jojo asked with a smile as if she had discovered something."Whatever floats your boat."Willow froze before smiling and shaking her head without explaining much.Jojo thought the store manager was Willow's friend, so she put on a show for them.Willow did not want to explain either. It was no use explaining what Jojo already believed to be true."I knew it! Haha..."Your skin doesn't look too good. That cosmetics store over there looks good. Why don't we check it out?"Jojo smiled and pointed to a store ahead.She insisted on shopping with
