Chapter 1633
Lillian blushed slightly once she finished speaking.She wanted to help Sean, and she finally found out something he was interested in. She wanted to help him find it to gain his favor.However, her offer to help was somewhat inappropriate for a girl.Because it would easily make people think she pursued Sean first.The average man would have been delighted.However, Lillian knew that Sean was not a man like that. If he were such a man, he would not have been so angry with her when she climbed into his bed that night.In case Sean got the wrong idea, Lillian quickly explained."Well... Don't take this the wrong way, but I only wanted to help you because my father works with Dorodo's city defense army. I have no other agenda and ulterior motives..."Lillian's slightly hurried words gave the impression that she was trying to hide something.It was a good thing Gregory and Anthony were not here, or Sean would have been embarrassed in front of them."No need to explain. Where's t

Sean looked around as he walked.Sean was uninterested in antiques, but it was his first visit to Dorodo's antiques market. He was somewhat curious about the place."Are most of the antiques here fake?"Sean asked casually."Yeah, you're considered lucky to find one genuine item in one hundred items these stalls sell. Even a 1% probability is too much to ask for here. But that's not the case for the ones sold in stores. Four or five out of ten antiques sold in stores are genuine. Of course, they cost more too."Lillian said, nodding vigorously.Realizing she was the guide, Lillian went out of her way to explain to Sean."This antique market has been around for many years. It's as busy as it was when I was a kid. I often come here with my father, who occasionally buys something he's interested in, but he hasn't had much luck. All the antiques he bought so far have been fakes, but several antiques that his friends gave him are genuine."Lillian laughed as she finished speaking.

Sean looked in the direction Lillian was pointing and immediately saw an antique shop.The antique shop looked ordinary, but you could see a huge interior filled with rows and rows of shelves through its glass doors.Many customers were admiring the antiques in the antique shop.There were all types of customers—young and old, men and women, and businessmen and scholars. There were about 30 of them in total.He did not expect Lillian's uncle's shop to be so popular.It seemed Lillian was not hiding anything with her introduction of the antique shop. She was telling the truth."Let's go inside, Mr. Lennon."Lillian reached for Sean's hand as she spoke but hesitated after stretching it out. Then she withdrew it.She still did not have the courage to hold Sean's hand.Sean was aware of Lillian's gesture, but he said nothing and did not do anything.Though he had a soft spot for Lillian now, it was far from love.Besides, he knew it would never work out for him and Lillian.The

"Uncle Frederic, I'm here to visit you."Lillian said with a broad smile."Visit me? You're here for my antiques, aren't you? Hahahaha..."Frederic burst into laughter once he finished speaking.Even though he said so, Frederic did not mind and quickly said, "I just got a new collection of antiques a few days ago. Some of them are quite interesting. You can take them if you like them.""How is that appropriate?"Lillian said bashfully."Oh, we're a family. I don't have many years left to live. If I don't give you my things, am I supposed to take them into my grave with me?"Frederic spoke his mind nonchalantly.However, it bothered Lillian, and she quickly said, "Uncle Frederic, don't talk nonsense. You've got many years to live!""You're such a sweet-talker."Frederic was so happy that he was smiling ear to ear.The customers seemed to know Lillian as they came over to greet her."It's you, Ms. Townsend. You haven't been to Old Master Douglas' antique shop in a long time.

Frederic scolded.However, it was not Lillian he was scolding; it was Lillian's stingy father.Lillian instantly looked awkward when she heard this."Uncle Frederic, it's not my father who wants me to retrieve the ancient bronze sword's fragment; it's me..."Lillian said hesitantly.Sean spoke before Lillian could finish speaking.As a man, he could not let a woman have a hard time because of his business."I'm the one who wants it. I'm interested in the ancient bronze sword's fragment."Sean said calmly.'So that's it!'No wonder the girl wants back the ancient bronze sword's fragment. It's because of this man.'Frederic realized suddenly. He looked at Sean, his eyes clear despite his age.Just one glance, and he already knew what was going on."The ancient bronze sword is nothing valuable, but it was given to me by your father. If I casually gave it to someone else, won't I have a hard time explaining to your father when he asked me about it?"Frederic said as he turned

Just then, Sean said, "Mr. Douglas, I think you misunderstood. I'm not going to take it for free. I'm going to pay for it.""That won't do either! Am I supposed to sell it because you want to buy it? Who do you think you are?"Frederic said bluntly.Sean frowned subtly.It was said that you would get a strange temper when you get old, but Frederic's temper was too strange.Suddenly, he realized something.Frederic probably noticed that Lillian liked him, so he used the ancient bronze sword fragment to force him to take a stand.If he refused to date Lillian today, he probably would not be able to take the ancient bronze sword fragment so easily.The old man was so smart!"Mr. Douglas, Ms. Townsend and I aren't what you think we are. Ms. Townsend only thinks of me as a regular friend..."Sean said and sighed helplessly.He was also helpless that things had come to this.Everyone was forcing their daughter's boyfriend to leave their daughter. When it came to him, they forced

Lillian's expression instantly changed when she heard that.She has reddened with embarrassment a moment ago, but her cheeks were now ghastly pale.She knew Sean had misunderstood her. He must have thought that she had brought him here so that Frederic could join forces with others to pressure him into making a promise and even marrying her.Although it was not what she had in mind, what Frederic did just now and what other customers said must have made Sean think that way.Lillian hurriedly defended herself. "Mr. Lennon, it's not like that. You misunderstood. I didn't...""Hmph. Why tell him that? Does he deserve you?"Frederic pressed on Lillian's shoulder and told her earnestly, "Girlie, you're Ronald's daughter. Your father, Ronald, is one of Dorodo's best weapons dealers. You're no ordinary person. No matter how much you like this guy, you can't indulge him like that! You must let him know who has a higher status!"Lillian panicked even more at Frederic's remark."Uncle

With that in mind, Lillian could not care less and quickly grabbed Frederic's hand, saying, "Uncle Frederic, stop it. Mr. Lennon is Dorodo's city defense army's..."However, Frederic interrupted Lillian with a cold snort before she could finish speaking."So he's with the city defense army? Is he a big shot in the army? Ha, so what? He has no right to flaunt himself in front of my Frederic! He can say whatever he wants when he's the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army!"Once Frederic finished speaking, Lillian froze instantly. She had so many mixed emotions that she did not know what to do!It was because Sean was the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army!Just then, the shop door was flung open.A young man in military uniform strode in, followed by two soldiers with crossbows in their hands and swords hanging around their waists!However, the young man and the soldiers he brought were not city defense soldiers but belonged to the mayor of Dorodo, Quenti
