‘Forgot your keys at home?‘Since the house hasn’t been handed over yet, are we only allowed to view it from the outside?’ In Fion’s heart, she had already thought up the excuse Sean might give them.“This villa is really nice.“But, like I said, there are a myriad of good things in this world.“The more important matter is whether you’re eligible to own such things.“Sean, what's the matter? Why don't you let us in so we can have a look? Unlock the door!” Yael said as he pouted and turned to look at Sean.The Wilson family also turned to look at Sean.“What are you guys doing here?”Just as Sean was about to retrieve the key, a sudden shout pierced through the air. It seemed to come from not very far away. A middle-aged man wearing a security uniform with a walkie-talkie strapped around his waist immediately appeared and walked over to them.The middle-aged security guard held a black rubber baton in his hand.Upon seeing the security guard, the Wilson family instinctive

”So you’re that Mr. Lennon!“My apologies, Mr. Lennon. I behaved rudely...”The middle-aged security guard immediately stowed his black rubber baton away and apologized to Sean.Upon witnessing this scene, Yael, Fion, and the rest of the Wilson family were left stunned.This middle-aged security guard who had not cared about Yael even though he was a resident of the Golden Villa Garden was now being so polite to Sean.Did that imply that in this neighborhood of Golden Villa Garden, Sean’s status was higher than Yael’s—who was also a resident here?People who held a higher status than those living in the ordinary houses in this neighborhood probably were…When everyone thought of this, they slowly turned their gaze to the twin villas in front of them.Was it only the owner of these villas who could make the middle-aged security guard behave so respectfully and politely?“You have no reason to apologize, you’re just responsibly doing your job.“I’m bringing my family to view th

“It seems to be remote-control operated… “The gate opened just after Yael pressed the button on the key...”The Wilson family’s eyes slowly widened.Yael, who himself had manipulated it, was even more dazed.The cigarette in his mouth had not been lit. it was just like a clown's performance gone wrong.“You pride yourself on being extremely knowledgeable, yet you've never even seen a remote-controlled electronic gate before?” Sean slowly shook his head and said softly. He promptly turned his wheelchair around and rushed into the villa. Yael widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, then reluctantly pressed another button.Beep!Another beep was heard, then the gate of the villa slowly closed.Yael reached out his hand to press the button once more, and the gate of the villa slowly opened again...He repeated this several times before he finally believed that the key he was holding in his hand was indeed the key to the twin villas!Thump!Yael’s face was ashen, his legs weak

Willow’s eldest aunt mumbled in a sour tone, “The Quinn family didn’t pay a cent.”“All the payment was made by Sean,” Willow shook her head lightly and explained to the crowd.Swoosh!Everyone's eyes were now on Sean.It had been him?That explained why Sean had been holding the villa key before.It turns out that he was the owner of this luxurious villa!However, the Wilson family was aware of Sean’s situation. Where had he gotten so much money?Although they did not understand, they dared not come forward to ask stupidly. Still, the surprise in their eyes could not be concealed. Fion exhaled slowly. She felt an unprecedented sense of respect....Four in the afternoon.The villa of the Zimmer family. River City.Quill was sitting in the living room talking on the phone.“It will be the ninth soon.“Two days in advance, make a high-profile announcement about my confession to Willow.“Remember, no matter the method, you must ensure everyone in River City hears about i

Jason’s words left Quill bewildered.“Uncle Jason, what… What sword?”Quill touched his head—he did not understand. “The one I saw when I visited your house the other day!“The sword you used for gardening—when you were digging and planting flowers!” Jason’s tone was very serious and seemed mildly rushed.He was acting as if this was no small matter.Quill rolled his eyes back into his head to think carefully and finally recalled what sword Jason was talking about.That day, he had used the longsword he had snatched from Sean to dig some soil in the flowerbed outside.Jason had just happened to be visiting and saw the sword.Quill clearly remembered that Jason’s expression had grown very unusual upon seeing it.Later, Jason had used his cell phone to take a photo of the longsword.This indicated that the sword might be of extraordinary origin.At the time, Quill could not help but think, ‘Could Sean really be involved with some bigshot?’However, since then, Quill had l

“Dad, I didn't… I didn’t do anything...“Uncle Jason called to ask me where the sword I used that day had come from...”Quill scratched his head and was mildly surprised.“Then where did you get it from?” Jon frowned slightly as he looked at Quill and asked.His intuition told him that this matter... might be a little complicated.Otherwise, given Jason’s status, he would never have taken it so seriously.“It’s… I got it from a beggar...” Quill’s eyes lowered slightly as he coughed and answered.Slap!Jon stepped forward and slapped Quill with a backhand.“Be honest!” Jon snorted coldly, glared at Quill, and cursed.No one would knew a man better than his own father. Would he not be able to sense Quill’s odd behaviour?“Dad... Actually, I got this sword from the Quinn family.“Do you know who Sean is…?”Before Quill could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the waving of Jon’s hand.“The Quinn family... So that's what happened.“Old Master Quinn, Levi Quinn, served in

“Young Master Zimmer, I think you worry too much.”Quill’s ‘guard dog’ immediately stepped forward and said with a smile.“Young Master Zimmer, even if Sean had been a really capable person before…“That was only back then. Now he’s just a cripple stuck in a wheelchair.“How would he be able to compete with you now? “Quill could but nod upon hearing the young man’s analysis.Those were the words that he liked to hear.If the young man had said that Sean was someone important and prompted Quill not to provoke Sean, Quill would definitely slap him across the face and tell him to leave. “You're right. Even if Sean had been somewhat capable before, so what?“In the past, the Quinn family of River City didn't even give two hoots about the Zimmer family!“Now, ever since Old Master Quinn left, hasn’t the Quinn family business been going downhill? To the point that they’ve even tried to win my favor?”Quill took a puff of his cigarette, feeling exuberant. “Young Master Zimmer,

It was clear that this question Jason had asked was not one he should be asking.As soon as the question exited his mouth, he felt as if something was wrong.Despite the power he held, he was only someone who handled affairs—not someone who could make decisions! How could he ask about the thoughts of the people who held positions above his?Sure enough, the person at the other end of the line fell silent.“Commander, my apologies. I was wrong…”Jason took the initiative to admit his mistake and bowed slightly.“Okay.“I’ll contact you again once I have confirmed the matter of this sword.”The person on the other end of the phone nodded and hung up....At night.In Willow’s house.“Mom, the food is ready,” Willow shouted again as she sat at the table.“Okay, I’m coming.”Fion sat in the living room and was about to stand up after hanging up the phone.However, the phone rang again before she could take even two steps away.Fion picked up the phone and answered the lat
