Willow’s eldest aunt mumbled in a sour tone, “The Quinn family didn’t pay a cent.”“All the payment was made by Sean,” Willow shook her head lightly and explained to the crowd.Swoosh!Everyone's eyes were now on Sean.It had been him?That explained why Sean had been holding the villa key before.It turns out that he was the owner of this luxurious villa!However, the Wilson family was aware of Sean’s situation. Where had he gotten so much money?Although they did not understand, they dared not come forward to ask stupidly. Still, the surprise in their eyes could not be concealed. Fion exhaled slowly. She felt an unprecedented sense of respect....Four in the afternoon.The villa of the Zimmer family. River City.Quill was sitting in the living room talking on the phone.“It will be the ninth soon.“Two days in advance, make a high-profile announcement about my confession to Willow.“Remember, no matter the method, you must ensure everyone in River City hears about i
Jason’s words left Quill bewildered.“Uncle Jason, what… What sword?”Quill touched his head—he did not understand. “The one I saw when I visited your house the other day!“The sword you used for gardening—when you were digging and planting flowers!” Jason’s tone was very serious and seemed mildly rushed.He was acting as if this was no small matter.Quill rolled his eyes back into his head to think carefully and finally recalled what sword Jason was talking about.That day, he had used the longsword he had snatched from Sean to dig some soil in the flowerbed outside.Jason had just happened to be visiting and saw the sword.Quill clearly remembered that Jason’s expression had grown very unusual upon seeing it.Later, Jason had used his cell phone to take a photo of the longsword.This indicated that the sword might be of extraordinary origin.At the time, Quill could not help but think, ‘Could Sean really be involved with some bigshot?’However, since then, Quill had l
“Dad, I didn't… I didn’t do anything...“Uncle Jason called to ask me where the sword I used that day had come from...”Quill scratched his head and was mildly surprised.“Then where did you get it from?” Jon frowned slightly as he looked at Quill and asked.His intuition told him that this matter... might be a little complicated.Otherwise, given Jason’s status, he would never have taken it so seriously.“It’s… I got it from a beggar...” Quill’s eyes lowered slightly as he coughed and answered.Slap!Jon stepped forward and slapped Quill with a backhand.“Be honest!” Jon snorted coldly, glared at Quill, and cursed.No one would knew a man better than his own father. Would he not be able to sense Quill’s odd behaviour?“Dad... Actually, I got this sword from the Quinn family.“Do you know who Sean is…?”Before Quill could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the waving of Jon’s hand.“The Quinn family... So that's what happened.“Old Master Quinn, Levi Quinn, served in
“Young Master Zimmer, I think you worry too much.”Quill’s ‘guard dog’ immediately stepped forward and said with a smile.“Young Master Zimmer, even if Sean had been a really capable person before…“That was only back then. Now he’s just a cripple stuck in a wheelchair.“How would he be able to compete with you now? “Quill could but nod upon hearing the young man’s analysis.Those were the words that he liked to hear.If the young man had said that Sean was someone important and prompted Quill not to provoke Sean, Quill would definitely slap him across the face and tell him to leave. “You're right. Even if Sean had been somewhat capable before, so what?“In the past, the Quinn family of River City didn't even give two hoots about the Zimmer family!“Now, ever since Old Master Quinn left, hasn’t the Quinn family business been going downhill? To the point that they’ve even tried to win my favor?”Quill took a puff of his cigarette, feeling exuberant. “Young Master Zimmer,
It was clear that this question Jason had asked was not one he should be asking.As soon as the question exited his mouth, he felt as if something was wrong.Despite the power he held, he was only someone who handled affairs—not someone who could make decisions! How could he ask about the thoughts of the people who held positions above his?Sure enough, the person at the other end of the line fell silent.“Commander, my apologies. I was wrong…”Jason took the initiative to admit his mistake and bowed slightly.“Okay.“I’ll contact you again once I have confirmed the matter of this sword.”The person on the other end of the phone nodded and hung up....At night.In Willow’s house.“Mom, the food is ready,” Willow shouted again as she sat at the table.“Okay, I’m coming.”Fion sat in the living room and was about to stand up after hanging up the phone.However, the phone rang again before she could take even two steps away.Fion picked up the phone and answered the lat
Kent was about to continue, but Sean cut him off by speaking first.“Okay, then wait for the ninth,” Sean calmly replied as he glanced at Willow.Willow looked back at Sean, the depths of her eyes filled with mixed emotions.She wanted to say something, but she was actually the one most caught in the middle.Born in a family like the Quinn family, many people might envy her.However, only she knew that there were still some things that she could not do.“Let's eat.”Fion gestured with her hand, then did not say another word.She intended on waiting until the ninth to see if Sean would still be able to maintain his stubborn attitude. …After dinner.Sean sat in his room and performed special needle treatment on himself as usual.Even he knew that given the current condition of his legs, the special needle treatment would have only minimal effects. However, he believed that if there was even a chance it might help, it would still be beneficial.After his treatment, Sean p
“Bugger off!”Willow gritted her teeth tightly as she was utterly unable to keep calm. “I didn't hear the sound of running water coming from in here—I thought there was no one inside.“And the door wasn't locked, so I just...”Sean could swear that this was certainly the first time in his life that he had ever explained something to someone in such a serious manner.He was even more serious than when he had explained other matters to Willow before.“I said bugger off! Didn’t you hear me?!”Willow was not currently in the mood to listen to Sean's explanation!“I... No, I’ll leave, but I have to explain...”“Bugger off! Go away!” Willow stepped forward and slammed the door shut. “Phew!”Sean and Willow both let out a heavy sigh at the same time on opposite sides of the doorThey really did not want to have to experience the embarrassing situation that had just occurred another time. “What’s with the noise?“Who’re you arguing with?”Fion frowned as she opened her bedr
Over at the gate, Jeremy had just lifted the lift lever for a car and was looking up into the sky.He could have sat in the office, enjoying the air conditioning, drinking coffee, and doing some easy tasks.Now, he had to do what any old man could do.The contrast upset him.A ringing phone interrupted Jeremy's deep thought."Hello, Jeremy. Have the higher-ups... reinstated your position?"The call got through, and Lucy's hurried voice spoke."... Not yet."Jeremy shook his head slightly."What? No?"Didn't Sean mean to forgive you yesterday?"Why haven't you been reinstated yet?"Could we be wrong? Sean doesn't have that kind of power, does he?"Lucy frowned suddenly and grumbled angrily."I'm not sure..."Jeremy shook his head slightly, feeling helpless."Hmph! We must be wrong."You didn't guard the gates because of him. Did you offend anyone else?"I had such high hopes for Sean."But come to think of it. How could a cripple like Sean be close to people in the go
