"Haha, even you're here. Why can't I be here?" Crystal asked with a sneer after glancing at Max.She did not mention Darkness's attack on her aunt's ashes, and there was no point in bringing it up with Max now. She would wait until she returned to Janestown to report to the Yorker family, and the Yorker family would discuss the matter with the Lake family in Janestown.Fabian's wife was the daughter of the previous patriarch of the Yorker family and the sister of the current patriarch. With such a status, the Lake family in Janestown could not afford to go after her even if she was dead.Since they had the nerve to go after her ashes, they would have to be prepared to bear the Yorker family's wrath."Yes, of course you can! The world is so big that you can go anywhere you want, Ms. Yorker!" Max said immediately as he dared not retort.Crystal snorted coldly and said nothing.Max was unsure about Sean's relationship with Crystal, so he was at a loss.After a moment of reflection,
"Do you still want to be involved in the affairs of the Lake family in Ocean City?" Sean looked at Max and asked with a smile.As soon as he spoke, Kennedy and Curtis tensed because Max's response next would determine their fate.Max glanced at Sean coldly and said solemnly, "Never mind. They offended you, so they will have to pay for it. I shall return to Janestown now that this is settled."With that said, Max walked out of Lake Residence. However, when he took one foot out of the door, he said, "Sean, Don's death won't end so easily. Even if the Lake family doesn't go after you, Sky Sect will."Sean smiled disdainfully and said coldly, "If Sky Sect wants, they can come to Ocean City for me. Or ask them to talk to me face to face when I go to Janestown someday!"Crystal wanted to speak, but Sean stopped her with a look."Alright, since you're that daring, I'll wait for you in Janestown! I hope you'll be as calm as you are today when you face Sky Sect!" Max said with a laugh. Th
"Settle them," Sean said quietly.Jadon and the rest immediately stepped forward, dragging Kennedy and Curtis outside Lake Residence."What are you doing? I'm the heir of the Lake family! You'll die for touching me!"Theodore grabbed Curtis by the collar as he struggled and screamed like he had lost his mind. He knew he probably would not live until the next day if they brought him away.Kennedy looked helpless as he had given up struggling. It seemed he had accepted his reality and stopped resisting. He knew Sean and the others would never spare him. Instead of humbly begging for mercy right before dying, he might as well be a little more dignified. They were going to die either way, so he might as well save some pride."Mr. Lennon, since you destroyed the Lake family's first branch, you're done with Ocean City, right?" Crystal asked as she looked at Sean.Sean nodded slightly, glancing at the members of the Lake family's first branch in the corner, who were observing him.The
Jadon and the rest fell silent. They knew Sean was leaving Ocean City."I wonder where you're going after leaving Ocean City?" Jadon asked.Sean answered with a smile, "I'll tell you about it later, but probably Janestown. People are waiting for me there."The crowd did not ask anything more.Then, Theodore said with a smile, "Now that Kennedy and Curtis and the Lake family's first branch ended up like this, we have no rivals in Ocean City. Mr. Lennon, you can rest assured that we'll take good care of your businesses in Ocean City."Sean did not have a lot of businesses in Ocean City, only Optimus Security Services, Optimus Clinic, and the newly founded Optimus Charity. Sean would only take Optimus Security Services with him when he left Ocean City.During their time at Ocean City, Optimus Security Services had considerably improved under Zander's training. Although incomparable to sects with long histories, members of Optimus Security Services were strong compared to the average
Sean then bid goodbye to Jadon and the rest and headed to Winters Residence with Crystal.Sean had not notified the Winters family of his coming, so no one went out to greet him and Crystal when they arrived at Winters Residence.When they got out of the car, Crystal said with a smile. "Mr. Lennon, I'll knock on the door!"Regardless of Sean's reaction, she walked toward Winters Residence. Only Sean could make the heiress of the Yorker family knock on a door for him.Bang! Bang! Bang!Winters Residence's door was knocked on, and a servant soon opened it.The servant looked at Crystal and asked, "Who are you?"Crystal glanced at him and said, "Tell Fabian it’s me.""How dare you? Do you know that the head of the house is the mayor of Ocean City? He's not someone you can call by his first name!"The servant's expression changed before adding, "Many dignitaries in Ocean City need to make an appointment in advance to see him. How dare you ask the head of the Winters family to see
Fabian soon followed the servant to Winters Residence's entrance.Upon meeting Sean, Fabian immediately said, "Mr. Lennon! Why didn't you inform me earlier? I could have greeted you immediately."Sean waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Mr. Winters is the mayor of Ocean City. Who am I to make you wait for me? By the way, I'm not the one who wanted to see you; it's her."Fabian also looked in the direction Sean had pointed. When he saw Crystal next to Sean, shock filled Fabian's face."M-Ms. Yorker, what brings you here?" Fabian's voice trembled.Crystal glanced at him and said coldly, "My aunt married you regardless of the family's opposition. But you failed to protect her. Someone even went after her ashes after she died. Aren't you going to give the Yorker family an explanation?" Crystal's voice was as icy as the winter wind.Fabian answered with a bitter smile, "What happened back then was beyond my control... I know the Yorker family has had a lot of opinions about me o
Fabian led Sean and Crystal into Winters Residence."I didn't expect you to be so influential in Ocean City! You're better than the Winters family's in-laws like me!" Crystal said with a smile.Sean smiled and shook his head, saying, "You didn't say who you were. Otherwise, won't the Winters family's servants welcome you warmly after knowing who you were?""Haha, Mr. Lennon, you know I'm not in the habit of telling others about my identity."Crystal chuckled before adding, "If it weren't for my aunt, I wouldn't even have knocked!"Sean only showed a helpless smile.Fabian, who was walking in front, heard their conversation and smiled helplessly. However, he was shocked when Crystal called Sean Mr. Lennon.As the heiress of the Yorker family, the proud Crystal was so well-behaved in front of Sean. If anyone from Janestown people saw this, their jaw would drop. The Yorker family's domineering eldest daughter had never behaved like that in front of others."Dad, who's that?" Milli
"My grandpa has been longing to see you. I think he would be pleased if you visited."Millie immediately nodded and replied, "I've always wanted to visit my mother's family, but my father refused to take me. Now that I've met you, I can just tell you whenever I want to visit!"With that said, Millie took Crystal's arm. As the heiress of the Winters family, Millie was not shy with strangers. Since Crystal was so polite to her, Millie would not be reserved."That's easy. You can tell me anytime you want to visit Janestown or the Yorker family. I'm quite influential in Janestown! If anyone bullies you, I'll help you teach them a lesson!" Crystal said with a smile.Fabian had an odd expression when he heard Crystal complaining about him, but he did not say much. He was happy to see Millie and Crystal get along.Sean, who was walking behind them, also smiled. Then, Sean said, "Mr. Winters, is Cynthia feeling better?"Fabian paused, turned around to look at Sean, and replied with a smi
