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

“My son is so precious that no one has ever laid even a finger on him since he was born. So, how dare a cripple’s daughter hit him?“I’ve gotta let all of you know that no one can even touch a single hair on my son’s body!”Mr. Lowe huffed coldly, picked up his cup of tea, and took a sip.Haughty disdain filled the faces of the little boy and his mother.The few teachers that were in the office looked at how arrogant this family of three is and frowned.They were displeased with the aggressive, unforgiving attitude displayed by them.However, what could they dare say if Principal Leed herself was so polite and courteous to Mr. Lowe?“No room for discussion?”Sean Lennon looked at Mr. Lowe and spoke faintly.“Who are you to have any discussion with me?”Mr. Lowe glanced at Sean’s wheelchair and snickered arrogantly, aggressively, unforgivingly.“Okay.”Sean nodded slightly. “Let’s… not discuss it then.”As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Candy gently before him.“C

Beating her at her own game.Giving her a taste of her own medicine.The moment Sean finished speaking, silence filled the office once again.That was exactly what Principal Leed said, just a few moments ago.In merely a few seconds, Sean had fed Principal Leed her own words.Principal Leed cradled her face, dumbfounded. The other teachers that were present were shocked to the core.Mr. Lowe and his family stared with bulging eyes.They wanted to say something in return, but they were at a loss for words.All of them had thought that the reason Sean asked Candy and her mother to leave was that he did not want to apologize to Mr. Lowe right in front of Candy since for a parent to apologize to others right in front of their child, was an affront to their dignity.It was only then that they realized, the only reason Sean asked for them to leave was that he did not want Candy to see him in action!“You slapped a woman! How dare you slap a woman?!”Principal Leed was shaking with

“Don’t bite off more than you can chew, young lad!“In the vastness of River City, there are people that you cannot afford to anger.”Mr. Lowe scoffed, his tone was filled with threats.“Forget about River City. Even if it’s the entire world,“There’s no one that I, Sean Lennon cannot afford to anger.“Who do you think you are?”Sean Lennon turned his wheelchair slowly as he closed in on Mr. Lowe.“You! You!”At that moment, a sense of foreboding filled Mr. Lowe’s heart.“I’m a reasonable person.“My child is bitten by the dog that is your child.“You’ve got to give me a reasonable explanation and way forward regarding this matter, right?”Mr. Lowe scoffed. “I’d like to hear what you want from us.”“A hundred thousand dollars of medical compensation fees.“And, a public apology before all the teachers and students of this kindergarten.”Silence filled the office once more.Who knew that everything that Sean had done was to prepare for this moment?Candy, who may be sti
