A round of applause broke out again.Sean said nothing more.After he had said what he had to say, he handed the microphone back to Harry.The two hosts hurriedly got on stage and continued hosting the ceremony."Next, we have our ribbon-cutting ceremony."Please welcome Director Wool on stage for the ribbon cutting."The hostess shouted to the audience with a smile.Damian immediately got up and got on the stage with a big smile.After all, not everyone had this treatment."Please welcome Larson Pharmaceuticals' Mr. Larson on stage for the ribbon cutting."Homer could not believe his ears for a moment.He had no idea that he would have a part in an important event like the ribbon-cutting.After coming to his senses, Homer got up and headed for the stage.After all, it was an honor to do such a thing!Not everyone would be invited."Please welcome Mr. Luke on stage for the ribbon-cutting.""Please welcome Summers Corporation's Mr. Summers on stage for the ribbon-cutting
Willow still felt like she was dreaming until she was on stage.The audience continued clapping their hands.All eyes were on the two of them.It was supposed to be a groundbreaking ceremony, but it felt like Sean and Willow's wedding instead."Do you like this gift?"Sean asked with a chuckle as he looked at Willow."..."Willow wanted to answer but did not know how.She had mixed feelings.Everyone else saw Sean's success today, but only Willow thought about how hard Sean worked to get here.What did it take to go from a vegetable everyone laughed at to a billionaire everyone admired?Willow was not sure, but she did know it must have been hard.Sean did all this just to give River City to Willow.He did it to tell her she did not lose her bet.The more Willow thought about it, the more touched she felt. Her nose could not help feeling red."Don't cry. I've got you."Not caring about everyone's gaze, Sean only hugged Willow into his arms.One side of Willow's face pr
Then they saw the collapse of a building nearly twenty stories high in the distance.Like a landslide, the building tens of meters high collapsed to pieces.Boom!Millions of bricks, with bits of cement, smashed to the ground as the toppling building collapsed.Bang!A mushroom cloud made of smoke and dust rose instantly.The building collapsed, and the shock waves that hit the ground spread in all directions.Everyone felt pins and needles under their feet like an earthquake had happened.They heard a ringing in their ears as smoke and dust rose everywhere.It was the first demolition of an old building downtown.It represented the official groundbreaking of the land development project.It symbolized the end of the humiliation Sean had endured for the past two years.From then on, he was no longer the crippled vegetable anyone could humiliate.He would be on top of River City's social hierarchy.Both the powerful and wealthy could only look up to him.The Quinn family
"Yes."Sean nodded gently.According to his plan, Jason had told Blaze about Sean's presence in River City.Sean speculated that Blaze would not trust Jason with something as important as this.Blaze would send his confidant to go after Sean.Now was not the best time to confront Blaze head-on.Besides, he had planned to leave River City even if Blaze had not tracked him down.Therefore, Sean thought of leaving River City quietly before Blaze's men arrived.That way, he could keep Blaze's focus on River City.He would then have time to work on his plans."Then spend the day with me."We're not going anywhere."Willow and Sean looked at each other for a few seconds before nodding again.She was upset about Sean leaving, of course.However, she knew Sean had a reason to go.Therefore, she would never show her distress to avoid affecting Sean."Okay!"Sean nodded gently and agreed....Sean and Willow quietly enjoyed their time together in the villa.Countless news abo
Blaze did not hide anything from the two middle-aged men.They were his confidants, who he could trust wholeheartedly.They were also involved when he went after Sean back then. One could say that they were in the same boat."Commander Lake, Jason spends a lot of time in the army and doesn't know much about River City."According to his investigation, Sean seems to have regained his sanity."He's still investigating whether his physical disability has recovered."A middle-aged man reported in a whisper."There is no cure for that medicine."There's no way he can recover."Blaze put the photo down, his eyes brimming with confidence.He drugged Sean with a poison native to the Northwest.It could affect the human central nervous system and cause irreparable damage.Even Hippocrates would be helpless.Therefore, Blaze believed Sean would be crippled for life even if he had regained consciousness."You're right, Commander Lake."So what do we do now?"Should I ask Jason to
The living room was quiet.Old Madam Quinn and the Quinn family lowered their heads and apologized.Willow froze still like a statue.Sean was on one side, quietly drinking a cup of coffee with no intention of interfering.He knew Old Madam Quinn and the rest's apologies stemmed from his success.However, he still thought it had nothing to do with him.The way they behaved with Sean did not bother him.However, they needed to atone for Willow's problems.Whoever started the trouble should end it.Members of the Quinn family caused Willow's trauma.So members of the Quinn family should fix it, of course."Willow, will you forgive us?"Old Madam Quinn asked Willow, looking up slowly after a pause.Samuel, Fion, and the others only kept their heads down.Old Madam Quinn's attitude and words represented them. "Grandma, I..."Willow had always been soft-hearted, and she was currently facing the Quinn family.Therefore, Willow wanted to forgive them immediately after they a
No matter how much she hated them, there was no way she would ask Old Madam Quinn to bow to her and apologize!After all, this was her grandmother and her father's mother.Her seniority was leagues above her. How could she do that to her?Old Madam Quinn did not bow in the end, but she still looked at Sean."Old Madam, you've only been fooled by scumbags. I don't blame you."Sean was silent for two seconds before his expression softened."Okay! Okay!"Old Madam Quinn let out a long sigh of relief.It was the end of the matter if Sean said so.Old Madam Quinn was overjoyed that Sean and Willow could forgive them.After all, Sean was now the richest man in River City.No other rich son-in-law could compare to Sean.The Quinn family knew they should cling on to Sean if they were not stupid."Sean, I... I'm sorry. Don't take it personally."Fion got up and apologized alone as she looked at Sean.Only then did the crowd come to themselves and hurriedly apologized to Sean.Af
"Grandma, let me see you off."Willow got up to see Old Madam Quinn and the rest off."Okay."Old Madam Quinn nodded with a smile before bidding goodbye to Sean and heading out the door.As soon as they left, Sean got a call from Jason.The call came through, and Jason immediately gave Sean an update on the situation."Mr. Lennon, I've sent the photo per your directions.""Okay."Sean nodded."You were right."They asked me to stay out of it."I suppose he's sending someone to look into you instead."Jason said again after a pause."Got it."Sean nodded again.He knew Blaze's character.Blaze was paranoid and shrewd, so he would not let Jason take charge of such an important matter.He could only be assured if his confidants took care of it."Mr. Lennon, what do you have in mind?"Or is there anything I need to do?"Jason pondered for two seconds before asking again."I'm leaving River City tomorrow if everything goes well."Keep an eye on things while I'm gone."
