The Quinn family froze."Mr... Mr. Ziegler, what did you say?"Old Madam Quinn asked with widened eyes after a long silence."I said, only Ms. Quinn can sign our contract with the Quinn family."Without Ms. Quinn, sorry but the deal’s off."Mr. Ziegler's tone was calm but very indisputable.He gave them no room for negotiation.Hearing Mr. Ziegler repeat it, the Quinn family finally realized that they had heard it right.Willow and Sean, who they just kicked out, were the key to this business deal!"Mr. Ziegler, are you kidding me? Didn't we..."Didn't we have a deal?"Simon and Faye panicked the most right now.They made a solemn promise to seal the business deal.They also asked Old Madam Quinn to throw them a celebration dinner.They even used the credit to get rid of Willow and Sean.However, the tables were suddenly turned around. Was Willow actually the hero to seal this deal?"Young Master Quinn, I'm just doing what I was told."If the Quinn family thinks we can

What Mr. Ziegler meant was that if he left the hotel today, the business deal would go to another company in River City."Mr. Ziegler, have a seat and wait there. I'll get Willow to come back right now."Old Madam Quinn hesitated for a few seconds before taking out her phone and dialed Willow's number.However, no one answered."Simon, go get Willow."Old Madam Quinn slowly turned to look at Simon and said."Grandma, I... I'm not going..."Simon turned red and refused on the spot."What did you say? B*stard!"Simon's father turned his head abruptly to glare at Simon and scolded."I... Dad, I just said if I ever ask them to come back, I'm going to call Sean Boss."I... I don't want to be embarrassed..."Simon lowered his voice and said as he looked at his father."Loser! Are you expecting me to get them if you don't?"Go!"Simon's father snorted coldly. His tone was assertive.Mr. Ziegler turned a blind eye to everything that happened in the private room.He just sat on

Fion got angrier as she spoke. If Kent were not holding her, she would have slapped Sean twice."Are you out of your mind?"Kent growled as he hugged Fion."Get out of my way! Kent and Willow, I'm telling you this today."Either he leaves, or I leave this family today!"It's either him or me!"Fion sat down and threw a tantrum. She cried and shouted."No one has to leave. Old Madam will ask Willow to go back."Sean looked indifferent as he withdrew his gaze and spoke."That's bullsh*t!"Old Madam always stand by her words. Whatever she says is like spilled water. She never changes her mind."Two years ago, she said if you, Sean Lennon, join the Quinn family, we'll have part of any dividend or benefits from the Quinn family's property."Everyone knows what our family has been like in the past two years.Fion pointed at Sean and shouted as she sat on the ground.Honk honk!Just then, a car h honked outside the door.Kent, Fion, and Willow froze. At the same time, a sens

Even so, Old Madam Quinn was still her grandmother and was someone she had to respect.“Sean, I…”Willow Quinn was momentarily hesitant as she looked at Sean Lennon with a perplexed expression.There was a tinge of reliance towards Sean that had grown even though Willow herself did not know it.It had become a subconscious habit to turn to Sean for answers no matter what it was.“No matter what you’ve decided to do, I’ll support you.”Sean smiled gently, his tone of voice was calm.“Okay!”Willow’s turmoiled heart was greatly calmed after what Sean had said.“Mom, I’ll head back to see what Grandma wants from me.”“Ah… Okay, go ahead, go ahead…”It was only then that Fion Wilson snapped back to her senses as she awkwardly responded to Willow.“Let’s go, Willow, we can send you over.”Simon Quinn breathed a huge sigh of relief as she quickly invited Willow to get in their car.“It’s okay, we can drive there.”Willow waved him off as she pushed Sean towards the door.“He…

Though the Quinn family may be confused, they turned to look at Sean Lennon as well, only to see him sitting on his wheelchair indifferently, with no change of expression on his face.“Cough…”Mr. Ziegler cleared his throat lightly after looking at Sean’s aloof expression and retracted his gaze.“Ms. Quinn, I’m tasked to only sign this agreement here with you.“All operational directions for Larson Pharmaceuticals are determined by Mr. Larson alone.”Mr. Ziegler was courteous when he explained with a gentle smile.“Yeah, Willow, Mr. Larson must have thought that the Quinn family was worth partnering with since he recognized our potential.”“Just sign it, Willow.”The gaze of everyone present was stuck intently on the pen in Willow’s hand.Old Madam Quinn was also signaling for Quinn to hurry with her eyes.“Mr. Ziegler, Willow’s position isn’t very high in the company.“Perhaps, she’s not in the position to make decisions with such a huge business deal.”Just as Willow was

Old Madam Quinn was nodding along slightly as well.“We’ll just have to see what Mr. Larson’s next moves are then.”“No matter if it’s the Zimmers or the Larsons, as long as they ask for Willow’s hand in marriage, I will convince Willow to accept their offer.”Old Madam Quinn gave her word, and the rest of the Quinn family no longer had anything else to say.…Willow Quinn was newly appointed to be the president of the Quinn Corporation subbranch.There were some who celebrated her, there were also some who were sulking because of this.Fion Wilson was naturally ecstatic. She was so happy she woke herself up from her dreams from sheer joy.On the other hand, Simon, Faye Quinn, and the rest were unhappy.As much as they were unhappy with the entire arrangement, Willow Quinn was now the biggest contributor to the Quinn Family, so much so that even Old Madam Quinn’s attitude towards Willow had drastically improved.So, they did not dare to go overboard with their display of unha

“Alright, go ahead.”Sean nodded. He reached out his hand and gave Candy’s little face a pinch.“Uncle Sean, look what I’ve brought for you!”After watching her mother leave, Candy sneakily took out two Tootsie Rolls and placed them carefully into Sean’s hand.“These are little treats from my teacher today, and I saved them up for you!”Candy lifted her little head and said it with an adorable yet solemn tone.Sean froze for a while, his hands trembled slightly as he caressed Candy’s little head.Two miserable years.It was all it took for Sean to experience how rare and precious it was to be held dear and remembered by someone else.Children were not usually ill-willed.The care she had for Sean was genuine.“Uncle Sean, mommy said you’re all better now.“What illness did you have?”Candy, as she was leaning into Sean’s embrace asked innocently.Sean chuckled as he nodded, then he answered her solemnly.“Last time, Uncle Sean had forgotten some things.“But now, I’ve r

Rachel Summer’s tone of voice was tinged with sadness.“Okay, okay, I know you’d still want to wait for that Commander of yours, right?“Well… I don’t think you have to dwell on that dilemma too long. Who knows? Maybe after you’re back, you’d meet him somewhere while you’re walking on the streets?“It’s true what people say, ‘if you want to hide for a while, hide in the woods, but if you wanna hide for a long time, hide in the cities’.”Willow consoled Rachel softly as she meant what she said with all seriousness.“I know, Willow.“Let’s not talk more about this. When I’m back, I’ll eat from your hand, yea!”Rachel was silent for a while before she waved her hands slightly and joked.“No problem. I now manage the subbranch!“When you’re back, I’ll be sure to give you a job.”Willow answered with feigned arrogance as she chirped happily.“Wow! I’ll be sure to go to you then!”Rachel wowed Willow and they both hung up after that.Just as Willow placed her phone down, she tho
