Chapter 990
No one knew if this wine party had another agenda or was an opportunity.Whether this opportunity would make any party famous in River City was still unknown.Willow was a little nervous as she got closer to the entrance.She had never attended such an upscale party.Even when she was in charge of Quinn Corporation's branch, she had no right to attend such events.Besides, those present were River City's aristocrats with special status.River City businessmen, heirs, heiresses, listed company owners, affluent families...Willow did not want to be nervous, but her heart rate was out of control."Don't worry. I've got you."Sean sensed something wrong with Willow. He reached out to take Willow's palm and said with a faint smile."Okay..."Willow nodded, her face blushing.Having Sean hold her hand relieved her nervousness."Mr. Lennon, please!"Zander stepped forward, bent over, and reached out his hand.Sean did not feel nervous at all. He instantly led Willow into the wi

If they were not able to get their hands on a goddess like Willow, they did not want anyone else to have her either!However, Sean held Willow’s hand as they both slowly entered the gala venue. Everyone was extremely jealous of Sean. “Phew!”A lot of people let out sighs of relief. They then averted their gazes forcefully. They were all from the upper social circle. It would be inappropriate for them to keep staring at someone else. Although they wanted to stare at Sean and Willow, they had no choice but to resist the urge to do so. However, a few other people continued staring at Willow. After all, Willow’s beauty was lethal. It was a great enjoyment for them to be able to stare at her. “Mr. Clarke? Mr. Larson, Mr. Summers, you’re all here! Come here and sit down!” Everyone greeted Harry and the others when they arrived at the gala. “It’s fine, we’ll just sit next to Mr. Lennon.” Nevertheless, Harry waved his hand slightly and rejected everyone else’s off

“Mr. Lennon, the Old Master says that it’s true that businessmen only pursue benefits.“However, one would still have to determine what kind of benefit they’d gain and what kind of situation they’re in.“He asked me to tell you that even if we lose, he has no regrets.” Homer turned around and looked at Sean intently.“I won’t lose.“You guys won’t lose either.” Sean’s gaze was extremely calm. The decisive tone of his voice left no space for objection either.“Alright!” Homer nodded. The few of them then clinked their glasses lightly. Soon after, more and more people entered the gala venue. Meanwhile, everyone, the Quinn family included, joined the larger group of people. Sean’s group consisted of extremely few people since the start. The people on Sean’s side basically included some of the people with the highest profiles in the social circle of River City. Sean did not know all of them, but Homer and Chadwick introduced him to each of them in soft voices.

Howard, Chadwick, and the others all looked at Sean.Before this, they had really been oblivious to the fact that Sean had done all of this.Howard only knew that Sean prevented Larson Pharmaceuticals from being affected by not allowing him to invest in the Zimmer Corporation back then.This showed that Sean definitely knew about this incident beforehand.However, Howard really did not know that Sean had planned all of this out. However, Sean did not speak right now. He remained silent.Therefore, Howard and the others remained silent as well. “Mr. Thomson, we don’t really understand what you mean.” A middle-aged woman slowly got up and asked James.“Yes, Mr. Thomson, is there something that we don’t know about?” “Mr. Thomson, tell us what you know straight away. The financial circle of River City has been in extreme turmoil lately. We can discuss things together today.” Some people agreed as well. “Please calm down, everyone. “Although Jen-Bond Holdings is pretty

As soon as Jon and the others started questioning Sean, more and more people started casting cold glares at Sean. “Sean Lennon, what else do you have to say?” James laughed out loud. There was an outraged expression on his face. It was as if he were interrogating an evil criminal. Then, Sean began to speak. “Who do you think you are? Who knows if you’re telling the truth? “You’re just saying anything right now. Where’s your proof?” Sean remained calm as he sat on his chair with a calm expression on his face. He swirled his glass of wine lightly. As soon as he spoke back to James, a lot of people agreed with what he said although they did not say anything. Although James was from Jen-Bond Holdings, that did not mean that everything that he said was right. Everything could only be verified with proof. James could not just make everyone believe in his words without any proof, right? “Look at what’s going on now. Are you still going to be stubborn? “Sinc

“Mr. Howard, you came over just to clarify the truth for River City’s peace. You’re an extremely righteous person!” “I truly admire you!” James put on a show before handing the microphone over to Flint. Flint glanced at James and asked, “Mr. Thomson, what do you want me to talk about?” James immediately replied, “Of course, you should tell us about how Sean Lennon got his hands on the development approval of the central business district through shady means.” Everyone in the audience nodded at once. “Shady means? “I don’t agree with this. “I’m a businessman. I only care about profits.“Mr. Lennon offered me a suitable price. Of course, I chose to sell the approval to him. “It was a voluntary decision on both ends. How is that shady?” Flint’s voice rang out in the hall through the speakers. James was stunned. Jon was confused as well. Meanwhile, everyone else had stupefied expressions on their faces.Was he not the witness?Was Flint not going to e

Who was Gordon? He was a member of the government.He represented River City's government.Therefore, he was more convincing than James.No one would doubt him if he said Sean had touched Zimmer Corporation's funds.Furthermore, there was some problem with Sean’s witness Flint.However, with Gordon testifying, Flint's statement did not matter."Mr. Lennon, well..."Homer panicked, and Chadwick was desperate.Homer listened to Old Master Larson, and Chadwick trusted his daughter.Therefore, they wanted to take this gamble with Sean.Gordon had now come forward and confirmed what Sean had done.Sean was for sure, going to lose.They were going to lose too!There would be no place for them in River City after tonight."What shall we do?"Chadwick slowly looked up at Homer with a pale face."I don't know."Homer was afraid to look at Jon and the others.It was because many people were looking at Sean with sharp gazes.If looks could kill, Sean would have died many time

"Yeah! Mr. Zigger, we don't blame you."It's none of your business. We know right from wrong."There is no hatred without cause. There is no one to blame but Sean."The others nodded along.Thanks to James and Jon, Gordon was instantly believed.He instantly became an honest government worker, who was scammed, when he did it all for River City's development. Gordon was smug. He had made the right choice by being with Jen-Bond Holdings.It was as if he could already see the moment when he would be promoted and made rich.With Jen-Bond Holdings' help, he might even be able to take over Damian's place.The more Gordon thought about it, the happier he became, but his expression remained the same.Next, they would see how Sean was going to die.He had now disrupted the order of the River City business circle.River City government would take the downtown development permit back from Sean.‘You loser!‘This time, I'm not only going to make you return everything but put you in
