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."
9 p.m.Reach For Will Group's office.Sean, Zander, and Harry were the only people in it.They had some preparations to make since they were leaving tomorrow.Click! Click!Sean sat behind his desk, tapping away at the keyboard.Sean had gone over Reach For Will Group's current financial statements and the information of each company it owned.He wanted to do everything he could to ensure nothing went wrong while he was gone.Therefore, he would find a way to deal with any potential problem.All the while, Zander and Harry had been waiting silently.Harry stared at Sean for a moment and could not help feeling emotional.He remembered the night Zander had just arrived in River City with him.They did not meet Sean then but only observed him secretly.Harry admitted that Sean had looked very different from what he had expected.He had heard a lot from Zander about Sean's achievements.He had never lost a battle and was invincible. He alone could intimidate their enemies an
After all, Zander was also a commander in the army, not a nobody.It was not going to be easy for Blaze to kill Zander.They needed a good reason if they wanted to arrest Zander.However, what about Sean?Sean was only a nobody now.Maybe no one even remembered the name.It would have been easy if Blaze had wanted to kill Sean secretly.Therefore, Sean did not have to worry about Harry's safety even if he stayed in River City.Besides, Sean had told Harry not to confront Blaze's men.In this case, Harry's safety was more assured.Harry could also take care of Sean's business while he was gone."What's the problem?"Sean asked, looking at Harry after he finished watching."Nothing."Harry shook his head.He did not know much about business.Therefore, he only needed to follow Sean's instructions."Okay! Then that's that."Zander and I are leaving tomorrow. Don't tell anyone."If anyone asks, just tell them we're out on some business."Sean nodded and got up slowly.
"Really?"Sean was a little surprised.He had one hundred thousand in his personal guard in the Northwest Army back then.They took orders from no one but Sean.Zander was their leader.However, Sean had no idea that so many of those people were from Joules Town."Yes, Commander."As you know, a great event took place in Joules Town. "So the men in Joules Town have a deep hatred of invaders."Many young men enlisted in the army immediately as soon as they came of age."Zander nodded and explained with a smile."In that case, this is fate."Sean smiled and nodded at that."Fate? What fate?"Zander was a little confused."I'm from Joules Town."Sean was silent for two seconds but told the truth anyway."What?"Zander was stunned. It was the first time he had heard of it."No way. How is that possible? How can you also be from Joules Town?"What a coincidence."Zander thought it was too much of a coincidence.Sean was going to Joules Town to meet his adoptive father
Over the past two years, Willow had taken good care of Sean without a complaint.She never asked Sean for anything.All she wanted was for Sean to get better as soon as possible.Then she made her only request in the past two years.She wanted Sean to marry her.No strings attached, just a simple desire to marry Sean.She wanted to take Sean's last name.Her eyes were determined, and she was sincere.Sean was touched.He should have said yes but hesitated.It was not that he did not want to marry Willow; it was just that he was in no position to make promises.Sean could not predict how the fight with Blaze would play out.Perhaps he would eventually lose to Blaze and even lose his life.Therefore, he dared not make promises easily.He was scared of giving Willow hope and then letting her down.Even if he was confident of beating Blaze, he dared not promise Willow anything.Therefore, the rarely indecisive man was now in a dilemma."Why are you quiet?"Don't you want
Sean did not do anything to Willow.It was not that he was not interested in Willow. He just wanted to settle everything first.Then he would treat Willow right without any worries.He could also take all of Willow without a second thought.Sean gently pulled his arm out.Willow had laid out Sean's clothes for him beside the closet. They were neatly stacked together.Beside it lay a symbol of status—the Guardian Sword and the set of silver needles.Sean moved quickly and put on his clothes without making any noise."Wait for me."Sean walked over to the bedside, slowly crouched down, and gently kissed Willow on the corner of her mouth.Willow stayed asleep all the time. She looked innocent.Sean reached out his hand again and gently pushed Willow's tangled hair away from her forehead. He only watched silently.After nearly a minute, Sean slowly got up and walked out the door.Thud!Sean left the room with a thud of the door closing.It was when Willow opened her eyes slo
They were not in a hurry. All they wanted was to be safe.Therefore, Zander had worked out a relatively safe route the night before.Even if he could not avoid all the cameras perfectly, they could do their best not to give away their whereabouts.Sean sat in the car and turned to look out the window.It was past 5 a.m. and was still dark.The sky had brightened a little.Their car sped along the road without seeing any vehicles or people.As he looked at the street lamps flashing past the car window, Sean had mixed feelings.He took over the small River City in just over a month.Now, they had to leave their homes and travel again.He only hoped he could achieve his goal and get help successfully in Joules Town.After all, it was hard for him to compete with Blaze on his own."Commander, wait a minute. I'm getting off the car to change the license plate."After a short drive, Zander pulled over and pulled a new license plate out of the trunk to cover the old one.He was
