They were shocked.There was not a single guest in the entire banquet hall who was not shocked.Chloe was the heiress of the Lathan family and the apple of Old Master Lathan's eye. She was the most popular person in Joules Town.It was all right if Chloe only knew Sean.However, Chloe disregarded her image and her identity as the heiress of the Lathan family. She bowed to Sean in front of many people and said something so unforgettable.If there were reporters here, Chloe bowing to Sean would be on the front page of Joules Town's newspapers tomorrow!Perhaps Joules Town would be in turmoil because of it!"You exaggerate."Sean said indifferently instead of taking credit for it."Mr. Lennon, your help to me might be nothing to you, but it was a huge help to me... Anyway, just come to me if you ever get in trouble, Mr. Lennon. The Lathan family will always welcome you!"Chloe looked Sean straight in the eye with her beautiful eyes and spoke firmly."Thank you."Sean nodded wi
Then Chloe turned her head to look at Jacob and Victor.Jacob was Old Master Collins' youngest son, and the Collins family was influential among these affluent families.Although the Collins family was much worse than the Lathan family, it was also much stronger than ordinary affluent families. Most of the conflicts between Sean and those guests tonight were provoked by Jacob.Therefore, his attitude was all the more important."What do you think, Mr. Collins?"Chloe asked. Her gentle calm voice was like a spring breeze.Listening to the melodious voice and looking at Chloe's beautiful face, Jacob subconsciously let go of his female companion's hand as if he was mesmerized by Chloe.However, he was a member of the Collins family after all. He soon came to his senses and nodded quickly."I'm not going to argue with you, Ms. Lathan. As long as Sean doesn't give me any trouble, I won't pick on him. But how the Collins family treats him isn't up to me. It's up to my father.""Then
"She's my sister."Sean replied without hesitation.Although Caitlyn was not related to Sean, he did treat her like a sister."She's not your biological sister, right?"Chloe asked with a smile."Yeah, but we're closer than biological siblings!"Sean said solemnly.Listening to the two's conversation, Caitlyn's pretty face reddened. Besides that, she lowered her head shyly."She gets shy so easily..."Chloe joked, looked at Sean, and asked seriously, "Mr. Lennon, you came to Joules Town to meet the patriarch of the Collins family, Old Master Collins, right?"William was the patriarch of the Collins family.Sean did want to meet William at first.However, he only wanted to meet the big shot from Janestown through William.Zander recently found out some things about the person too.The man's name was Hanson Lupin.More than 20 years ago, the Lupin family was famous throughout Dragon Kingdom. They even had a legend.Sean did not know much about the Lupin family, but he had
Chloe chuckled before Sean could say anything. She said, "Who would laugh at you when I'm around? Here, I'll eat with you."With that said, Chloe took the plate and fork and started eating with Caitlyn.The two women were treating the fancy party like a buffet.However, none of the guests in the distance dared to taunt her. Instead, they praised her."Though Ms. Lathan is the heiress of the Lathan family, she's not arrogant. She eats and drinks as she likes. She doesn't put on any airs.""Yes, Ms. Lathan is indeed a breath of fresh air. Anyone will be impressed!""Wouldn't it be nice if we could have dinner with Ms. Lathan?"The guests looked over enviously, but none dared talk to each other, let alone eat together."Why don't you eat some too?"Chloe looked at Sean and said with a smile.Sean glanced at the guests in the distance and shook his head as he laughed. "Forget about me. If I eat with you, those people will be so jealous of me.""Haha, Mr. Lennon. It turns out you
Because the Collins family and Sean were never meant to be in opposition.William was a friend of Sean's adoptive father. They were close. The reason that the Collins family had conflicts with Sean was that William was dissatisfied with Sean.Sean's father, Colin, was considered a big shot when he was alive, so William had high hopes for Sean.Therefore, when Sean came to Joules Town and asked William for help, William was disappointed with Sean, thinking Sean was no match for his adoptive father, Colin!If it were Colin, he would rather die than live in grievance. There was no way he would come to Joules Town only to ask himself for help.William's contempt for Sean was all from this incident.However, Sean's subsequent performance repeatedly surprised him.Firstly, he started Lennon Group, brought down Billion Trees Group, and built the new orphanage despite resistance from all parties. He was undaunted even when he confronted Joules Town's affluent families. Tonight, the to
After the party, Sean reconciled with most of the affluent families in Joules Town. With Chloe's public support, many affluent families, who switched sides for personal gain, sent their children to visit Sean in Queen Children's Orphanage.Their goal was to link up with the Lathan family through Sean.Sean was polite and hospitable to these people, of course. However, he made no promises when it came to the Lathan family.Because he knew he could not speak for Chloe, let alone cause her trouble.The new orphanage was also in construction. The construction company had greatly shortened the construction schedule with the help of the latest construction methods and equipment. The orphanage was not so large, so it was expected to be completed soon.Perhaps bored, Caitlyn thought about taking the orphanage children for an outing.May rejected Caitlyn's proposal as soon as Caitlyn brought it up."It's not safe. We have so many children and so few adults. Can we handle them? Besides, c
"Got it!""Understood!"Two children shouted and laughed.Sean shook his head helplessly. Watching the kids playing around, he could only let them do whatever they wanted.Fortunately, none of the children touched Martyrs' Memorial Garden's tombstones or anything else, even though they were playful. They only looked with their eyes.Sean was relieved to see that."There are so many martyrs buried here!"Caitlyn looked around and marveled.Zander, who followed her, nodded and said, "Of course. When Dragon Kingdom was in limbo, major wars rarely happened, but small-scale battles kept happening. People died defending the country almost every day. These are called martyrs, and they will be buried in memorial gardens all over Dragon Kingdom. It's not a small amount, of course." Hearing Zander's words, Caitlyn was filled with deep admiration and was touched.It was because these people risked their lives to fight. They even sacrificed their lives to have the peaceful Dragon Kingdo
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, looking upset.An attendant nearby immediately said, "Mr. Lupin, it looks like Joules Town's locals have come to the memorial garden to pay their respects to the martyrs but are reprimanded by the security guards in charge of protecting and managing the area."Hanson replied in acknowledgment before saying with a nod, "I see... They deserve criticism for not keeping quiet in Martyrs' Memorial Garden. Come on. Let's check it out."With that said, Hanson and his entourage walked toward Sean and the others.The two security guards were still yelling at Sean and the children. They also became increasingly outrageous as they spoke."No wonder Martyrs' Memorial Garden was closed to the public for so long. There's a reason why they have strict control over the people coming here. It's an insult to those buried here to have people like you pay respects to them!""Can you keep these brats under control? If you can't, hurry and leave. Don't give us tro
