"Let's all go inside and see Old Master."The Carver family member said solemnly and then added a warning. "Keep quiet. Don't disturb him!"Then, the Carver family members entered the room.Sean had already left, leaving the pale Michael lying quietly in the hospital bed.Looking at their patriarch in such a state, the Carver family members were grieving. Many people were even weeping.The crowd tried hard to control their voices so as not to disturb Michael.A crowd of people gathered around the hospital bed, looking at Michael with slightly red eyes.Michael was already somewhat conscious, so he could naturally hear them. However, in order to help Sean's plan get carried out smoothly, he could only resist the desire to speak and lay quietly instead.Michael was glad to hear the sobs all around him.It was rare for an old man to be cared for by so many people in his family and even had them shed tears for him.Many families wished for the death of an old member of the family
"Dad, we received news!"Michael's condition seems to have stabilized, but he still hasn't woken up. He's most likely already a vegetable!"Curtis said excitedly.Kennedy took a sip of his tea and said with a smile, "There's no difference between a vegetable and a dead person."Do the four families think they can fight the Lake family because they joined hands?"Now that Michael is a vegetable, that should give the other three families pause for a while."Curtis also nodded in agreement and said, "Although we lost Maxwell and the rest, it's still worth it in exchange for turning Michael into a vegetable!"Now that Michael is a vegetable, Theodore, Jadon, and Sean won't be doing anything for a while!"The father and son looked at each other and smiled. Sean and the other three had sent Kennedy coffins during Kennedy's 50th birthday. Then, Optimus Security Services humiliated them at Lake Security Services' opening ceremony.Kennedy and Curtis had been down because of that. Now
"Mr. Lennon, the Winters family is protecting something that is said to be very important to them."The Winters family will gather all the security firms in Ocean City to bid for the task in two days."It probably won't be easy for you to get an appointment with Mr. Winters now..."Zander said.Sean nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Forget about it then. I just remember that he asked to have a drink together that day."Since he's unavailable, we'll talk about it when we're done with the task."Hearing that, Zander left the office.Neither Sean nor Zander had any concerns about whether Optimus Security Services would succeed in taking on the Winters family's task.Optimus Security Services was far stronger than a security firm should be.No one could find another security firm that could match Optimus Security Services in the country, not to mention Ocean City.As the days passed, the Lake family was busy recruiting new security firm members and did not give trouble to S
Willow was his soft spot. Whoever touched it would die.Sean got up slowly, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked in the direction of Lake Residence, and murmured, "Willow, I'll find you after I’m done with Ocean City."Knock, knock, knock!The knocking on the door brought Sean's distant thoughts back to reality."Come in!"Zander opened the door and entered, followed by Titus and Winnie.Entering the office, Zander immediately saw the armrest that Sean had crushed.His expression changed slightly, and he walked quickly to Sean's side, his face solemn.Before he could speak, Sean said, "It's okay."Then, he turned to both Titus and Winnie and asked them to sit down.Zander stood aside in silence, his eyes full of thoughts.The last time he saw Sean this angry was when Willow was kidnapped by Curtis and taken to Ocean City.Sean was probably angry again because something happened to Willow again.Zander knew that only things related to Willow could make Sean this an
"What's wrong? Do you need something?"Sean asked, glancing at Titus.Titus smiled and scratched his head. "I've asked everything my father told me, and now I want to invite you and Mr. Young to have a meal together and relax."Winnie nearby glanced at Titus and added, "We've known Mr. Lennon for a while now, but we haven't had a meal together. I wonder if you would like to join us, Mr. Lennon.""Okay, let's have a meal together."Sean nodded and agreed.When Sean agreed, Titus' smile widened. Even Winnie, who was always calm, also smiled.Sean and Zander sat in Titus' car.Winnie drove her car.The Ferrari and Porsche proved their wealth.Although they were not an heir apparent of the Lake family like Curtis, they were also the only children of the Lake family's second and third branches. They naturally had no lack of money.The two luxury cars were eye-catching, once again attracting a lot of discussion.The cars ended up at Greenview Hotel.With their statuses, Greenvie
"Forget it. Forget it. I won't push it you can’t tell. Ol' Winters, go back to work. Ask the kitchen to prepare our food faster!"Titus said with a wave of his hand.Mario answered in acknowledgment and left.To be honest, even Sean had taken a slight interest in the big client Mario was talking about.Mario was Fabian's younger brother. Although they were estranged, the two were still brothers whose blood was thicker than water.Even if the head of the Lake family, Kennedy, came to Greenview Hotel, he probably could not get Mario to do that—unless they were Jadon, who was very close to Mario.Although Mario was a mere manager of Greenview Hotel, no one in Ocean City dared to mess with him.Fabian behind him was enough to intimidate everything in Ocean City.Exquisite and expensive dishes were soon served."Mr. Young, eat more!"Titus bid Zander before adding, "Mr. Young, don't forget you promised to teach me some self-defense!"Zander glanced at him and said faintly, "When
"Since she's the mayor's daughter, why did she suddenly disappear from the public eye?"Zander asked, slightly interested.The sudden disappearance of the mayor's daughter at 12 was enough to interest anyone.Besides, Millie was a talented girl proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry.After all, all Titus knew was what had happened before Millie was 12 years old.It showed that Millie had mastered piano, chess, calligraphy, poetry, and singing before she was 12.She must be very talented to master so many things at that young age."Hehe, that's a good question, Mr. Young!"Titus took a sip of wine and added, "When Millie became 12, it was the same year that Mr. Fabian Winters became mayor of Ocean City!"The day Millie supposedly disappeared was when Mr. Fabian Winters took office as mayor!"Ten years have passed, and the mayor's daughter, known as a prodigy, has reappeared in Ocean City!"Sean frowned slightly as Titus had been talking on and on about
There was a man and two women. The man was Mario, and the women were young, looking like they were no older than 20.Both women were beautiful and elegant. Every gesture they made seemed noble.Titus raised his eyebrows, leaned over to Sean, and whispered, "Mr. Lennon, one of those two women is Millie.""Okay, come on."Sean nodded nonchalantly and beckoned Titus to leave.Sean did not seem interested in Millie, so Titus did not stay.The four people passed by Mario and the women. Mario apologized to them and said, "I'm sorry for not entertaining you this time. I'll treat you next time!""Mr. Winters, you're too kind. Goodbye."Sean waved his hand and said with a smile.Watching Sean and the rest walk away, the young woman next to Mario looked slightly interested."Uncle Mario, who are these people? Why are you so polite to them?"The woman asked with a smile.The woman's identity was self-evident when she called Mario "Uncle". She was none other than Millie, the mayor's da
